You tell him, Senator Kelly!

A screenshot of an X thread by Senator Mark Kelly (@SenMarkKelly
) posted 19 hours ago on March 6, 2025. The first post questions Elon Musk, asking, "Traitor? Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do." The second post, from 16 hours ago, describes a recent trip to Ukraine, stating, "Just left Ukraine. What I saw proved to me we can’t give up on the Ukrainian people. Everyone wants this war to end, but any agreement has to protect Ukraine’s security and can’t be a giveaway to Putin. Let me tell you about my trip and why it’s important we stand with Ukraine," accompanied by an image. The image shows a rusted tank with "UKRAINE" graffiti in the foreground, a man in a brown coat standing nearby, and a public square with historic buildings and people in the background, including a mural and a Ukrainian flag.

May we all be at peace and at ease.

I'm very excited about our second game con in Newberg! Very satisfying to see an idea come to fruition and to benefit so many people!

NYT: "Will Chamberlain, a conservative commentator and former Ron DeSantis staffer, posted on X on Sunday that a 'really simple, underdiscussed reason why Kamala Harris shouldn’t be President' is that she has 'no children.'"

Guess what, Mr Chamberlain? By you standards, neither did George Washington (and he's not the only one).
