I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I left when Alex Jones had his account restored - there is a difference between free speech and misinformation.

Ben - the good boy 😊

I wonder... is Nancy Mace trying to get someone's attention

Dear Blue Sky CEO Jay Graber,
