While Russian forces have had supply + logistical problems, those of the Ukrainians are likely more severe. The Ukr Army will start to run out of ammunition in a week, experts suggest, and out of Stinger missiles + Javelin anti-tank missiles before then. https://t.co/eqluG4zfTS

A new analysis finds that a proposal from @SenRickScott “would raise taxes on middle-income households by an average of $450.”

To summarize, the @SenateGOP economic plan is:

The term for this is “culturcide,” where by an aggressors seeks to eliminate all traces of a people and their culture by targeting their art, sacral spaces, educational institutions etc which have no military value. Think Milosevic’s campaign in Bosnia, or ISIS. https://t.co/W1aXiSh3ed
