The Appendix has spoken.
This is how the Trump admin thanks Ukraine for their agreement to help us with Shahed drone interceptors.
Sen. Tim Sheehy, Republican of Montana, helped Capitol Police officers forcibly remove the antiwar protester Brian McGinnis — a Marine Corps veteran and a Green Party candidate for Senate in North Carolina — from a Senate hearing on Wednesday. The physical struggle was captured on video.

Tillis: "In about a week and half, we're gonna get a plaque on the wall in the Capitol thank the Capitol police officers and all the agencies that responded on January 6. All those thugs have been pardoned, and yet we haven't thanked the Capitol police officers for their work."
which means people still can't leave their homes to work and go to school, we're facing a massive eviction crisis, but mayor frey doesn't seem to think that's his problem.

This war will permanently alter the relationship of the Gulf states, the US, and Israel.
