Sen. Lindsey Graham: "We have 85 co-sponsors in the Senate for congressional sanctions with a sledgehammer available to President Trump to go after Vladimir Putin."
Sen. Lindsey Graham: "We have 85 co-sponsors in the Senate for congressional sanctions with a sledgehammer available to President Trump to go after Vladimir Putin."
Q: "The Pentagon paused some shipments of weapons to Ukraine. Did you approve that?...Who ordered the pause?"
Trump: "I don't know. Why don't you tell me."
Trump: βWe get a lot of bullshit thrown at us by Putinβ¦ Heβs very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.β
Reporter: βDo you want to sanction him?β
Trump: βIβm looking at it.β
Trump: "The Ukrainians were brave. We gave them the best equipment ever made...We gave them missiles, the latest and the greatest...The Ukrainians, whether you think it's unfair we gave all that money or not, they were very brave...A lot of people wouldn't have that courage."
Trump: βWe're not happy with Putin. I'm not happy with Putinβ¦because he's killing a lot of people. And a lot of them are his soldiers.β
Republicans for Ukraine need to take action β Ukraine can't wait.
Don Bacon, Brian Fitzpatrick, Joe Wilson, and Mike Lawler have the power to help Ukraine: just don't vote for the Big Beautiful Bill unless it provides aid to Ukraine.
No Ukraine aid? No vote.
Dear Moderate GOP pro Ukraine house members: Murkowski got a cutout, everyone is getting something for their vote. How about demanding money for Ukraine? Even more air defense?
This is a national disgrace.
Ben Shapiro: "This is going to continue up until the point where Russia figures that they're not going to be able to dissuade the West from fighting back against Russia's aggression in Ukraine. Trump has been moving in that direction...That'd be a good thing."
Hey Donald, been 5 weeks since you said youβd have more sanctions on Russia βin two weeks.β
Where uh, where are they?
NO WAY YOU WERE JUST BLOVIATING RIGHT??? NO WAY
This is shameful. We need MORE SANCTIONS on Russia, not less!
We MUST supply Ukraine with the Patriot missiles they need to defend themselves against Russia's barbaric attacks.
Reporter: βYou once said you would end the Ukraine war in 24 hoursβ¦ Youβve now been in office for five months and five days. Why have you not been able to end the Ukraine war?β
Trump: βBecause itβs more difficult than people would have any idea.β
Q: "Can you give us a preview of what you'll say to Zelensky?"
Trump: "βWe'll discuss his difficulty. He's got a little difficulty, Zelensky. I assume we'll talk about Ukraine...βI've spoken to Putin a lot and he actually was very nice."
This is ridiculous. Russia is the aggressor. It is long past time for Trump to stand up to Putin.
Sen. Graham: "I've got 84 co-sponsors for a Russian sanctions bill that is an economic bunker buster against China, India, and Russia for Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine. I think that bill's going to pass...It's time to vote on that bill."
Sen. Graham: "I've got 84 co-sponsors for a Russian sanctions bill that is an economic bunker buster against China, India, and Russia for Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine. I think that bill's going to pass...It's time to vote on that bill."
Trump on Lindsey Graham going to Ukraine: "People have to be very careful with what they say. They gotta be very careful with their mouth because their mouth could get them into a lot of trouble."
Trump is wrong β we must stand with our democratic allies in Ukraine!
This is unacceptable β Ukraine cannot wait. Every day, Putin unleashes horror upon the civilian population in Ukraine as part of his barbaric and illegal invasion.
The Senate must enact new Russian sanctions NOW!
Q: "American citizens happened to be killed by the Russians last night in Ukraine. Will the U.S. government act to protect U.S. citizens in Ukraine?"
Tammy Bruce: "Yes, we are aware of last night's attack...We have no further details to offer in that regard."
Sen. Blumenthal: "I think we ought to strengthen sanctions against Iran."
Sen. Graham: "I will be your wingman β we will write it right here on television. China, if you're listening, stop buying Russian oil and stop helping the Iranians. You would make the world a safer place."
Graham: "To the people who wonder should we pay a price for our freedom, we have in the past β go to Arlington. Oil prices will go up if we confront Russia through our bill. Oil prices will go up if we try to confront Iran for their nuclear ambitions. But you pay now or later."
Sen. Blumenthal: "I think the president should call on the Senate to vote on approval of the Russian sanction bill literally tomorrow...This moment cries out for presidential leadership. There's an urgency here."

While the U.S. cuts military aid to Ukraine, Russia unleashes barbaric attacks on civilians. Listen to the horrors Russia is inflicting upon civilian populations in Odesa.
On-the-ground reporting from Ken Harbaugh and VALOR:
Rep. Don Bacon: βI was really perturbed by the interview [with Trump] asked three times about President Putin, and he kept attacking Zelensky...Putin is a bad guy. He's the man who has killed all of his opponents. Zelensky is the victim here. I just wish we had moral clarity.β
Richard is a lifelong Republican who supports aid to Ukraine.
"I think if Ukraine were to fail to the Russians, it would have dire consequences throughout the globe, but it would encourage China to move aggressively against Taiwan."
David is a Republican who supports aid to Ukraine because it's the right thing to do.
"Russia is the aggressor. βRussia is in violation of international law. If we do not support Ukraine...we weaken the security of all the nations, of all people around the earth."
Sen. John Cornyn: βAn attack on Ukraine is also an attack on America's global security interests and on world peace and could have cascading consequences...βWe need to do our part to ensure that when Russia probes with bayonets, it shall be met with steel."
