In an extremely rare moment of candour on Russian state TV today, defence columnist Mikhail Khodaryonok gave a damning assessment of Russia's war in Ukraine and his country's international isolation. It's fairly long but worth your time so I've added subtitles.

Remember when Mitch McConnell’s brother in law made a $26.8 million XPO Logistics purchase for his hedge fund when former XPO CEO DeJoy became Postmaster General—before the USPS paid hundreds of millions to XPO? Today, the hedge fund reported XPO holdings of $48.49 million.

Replying to @lukebroadwater and @CatieEdmondson
twitter.com/ex67t20/status This, “...a surge in revenue for XPO from the Postal Service since Mr. DeJoy took over on June 15,” is interesting, because the hedge fund managed by Mitch McConnell’s brother in law made a $26.8 million XPO Logistics purchase between May and August.

This cannot stand. Trump must concede. If he doesn’t, the US needs to determine whether it’s sedition or treason. We can’t keep ignoring it.

"Look at that," Sean Hannity said, pointing to a photo, "pallets and pallets of baby formula for illegal immigrants and their families." It wasn't baby formula. More from me on a manufactured outrage in tonight's Reliable Sources newsletter: view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/16524

So this is crazy: I'm pretty plugged into the news, but until hearing today's Pod Save America, where they interviewed Brian Deese - director of Biden's economic council - I didn't know about the Affordable Connectivity Program the President just instituted. It's pretty cool.

I'm Dr. Patricia Goetz, and I'm running to be the next Senator for Ohio District 27. I'm committed to bringing affordable health care, well-paying jobs, and no-nonsense leadership back to our legislature. Will you help spread the word by liking and retweeting this post?

So, the origin of the baby formula pocalypse was Abbott management's refusal to repair dilapidated and failure-prone drying machines turning the plant into proverbial petri dishes for cronobacter, because... They needed that $5.73 billion for stock buybacks, obvs

OHIO: make this idiot famous. It’s one of JR Vance’s fanboys. He’s saying Ohio’s Ukranian natives don’t care about Ukraine. Based upon R precinct primary numbers Also, wrong on the geography. This is why Vance is losing.

Replying to @DouglasLukasik and @DCLongIslander
You know how few ppl in America care about Ukraine? JD Vance won the areas of Cleveland with the highest Ukrainian population. No one wants us involved in this fight.

Without federal protections, Ohio women could soon be denied the freedom to get an abortion altogether—even in cases of assault, incest, or medical emergency. As SCOTUS prepares to overturn 50 years of precedent, we cannot accept defeat. I'll keep fighting to codify Roe v. Wade.

There’s very few “full-time farmers.” My dad worked at International Harvester and farmed, my mom was a bank teller. Then factories closed. Farmers have “industrial park” jobs, if they can find them. “Not quite enough to go around” is how I’d describe rural America today.

May is Older Americans Month. Instead of delivering for Michigan's seniors the GOP is running on a plan to sunset Medicare and Social Security which would take away income for the 4 million Michiganders who rely on these programs. 🗣️🗣️🗣️

In his first year in office, Biden's judges have been confirmed at a swifter pace than his five most recent predecessors. cbsnews.com/news/biden-jud
Quote Tweet
Irony is that Schumer *is* effective at McConnell's speciality - confirming judges. For whatever reason the very online Dem base doesn't care, and unlike Trump, Biden doesn't use public appearances to brag on it. twitter.com/EsotericCD/sta

As a farm girl, watching Matt Gaetz trying to talk about fertilizer and agriculture is side-splitting. I’ll have MTC on this one.
Quote Tweet
Northwest Florida farmer Shannon Nixon on rising fertilizer costs under Biden: 'THIS IS UNCHARTED TERRITORY' "I can tell you most farmers have cut back on fertilizer."

This is Laura Ingraham’s “charity.” Spend money on her chum and “all proceeds” go to a Soup Kitchen which runs 5 food pantries (open 2 hours 5 x a week) and 2 meal sites (one for lunch, one for dinner, Weds and Thurs respectively), in Essex CT.

Over 20 million meals now served! And 10 million pounds of food delivered into communities. How did @WCKitchen build the largest food relief operation in Ukraine with your support? These are the people who make it happen every day—These are the Food Fighters! #ChefsForUkraine 🇺🇦

The right-wing “Christian” non-profit, Heritage Foundation, also opposes Ukrainian aid. They’re funded by dark money from billionaires like the Koch brothers.
Quote Tweet
Wow. How stunningly embarrassing. ⁦@Heritage⁩ action opposes military assistance to a Ukraine at war with Russia and frames it as part of a progressive agenda. This from the org that used to ask “What would Reagan Do?” heritageaction.com/press/ukraine-
