Because Russia thinks Republicans will win. This compilation of clips explains why the Russians think they're winning and don't need to negotiate. Spoiler: they're waiting for the GOP to prevail in midterms and abandon Ukraine. They're also encouraged by our media coverage—especially Tucker Carlson.https://t.co/h05qK1g2fs pic.twitter.com/XBw1G3VTHY — Julia Davis (@JuliaDavisNews) June 9, 2022

It’s time to make your plan to vote. First, register if you haven’t yet! And even if you believe you’re registered, check to see that you still are.
