Trump, Putin, and Rogan are all collapsing from Meidas Mighty. Zelensky will save democracy. I wrote a poem called freedom’s light in tribute to Ukraine. Slava ukraini! https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/zelensky-ukraine-freedoms-light

Ukraine policy stupidity is a window of opportunity. Need Congressional Republicans to stand up. Interview senate dems.

Send them this:

Dear Mr. Solomon,

Thank you for contacting me regarding the war in Ukraine. I appreciate the opportunity to respond.

Russia is a cancerous, evil regime that threatens our national security by attempting to control as much of Europe and Eurasia as it can. It also supports the regimes in Iran, Communist China, Cuba, and Venezuela. All of them continually seek to harm the United States and force us into a position of dependence upon them for our livelihood. Vladimir Putin’s unjustifiable and unlawful invasion of Ukraine is just one more example of this fact. I believe that the United States must continue to stand strongly with Ukraine and provide the lethal military aid it needs to win this war. Putin’s murderous attacks are a threat to our national security and the security of our democratic allies.

While we must continue to support democracy in Ukraine, I will not allow Russia’s unjust invasion to deprioritize or slow progress on solving urgent domestic issues such as securing the border, fighting inflation and rebuilding our national defense. Congress can continue to act and solve these issues, which we owe to the American people.

As Florida’s U.S. Senator, and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I will continue fighting for allies around the world, while also ensuring we take care of our families here at home. I am proud to represent every citizen in Florida and I appreciate the time you took to provide your position on this matter. Should you have any additional questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Rick Scott

United States Senator

If they haven't stood up to oppose Hegseth, Gabbard and especially Patel and the firing of military top officials yesterday, they aren't ever going to. They'll send out letters like this one to try to appease voters while continuing to rubber stamp whatever Trump demands. Don't be taken in. Rick Scott especially is a known Medicare fraudster who should be in prison rather than the senate.

Yes, send his letter to everyone in the legislative branch. A deluge of them - constantly - will be the 2nd message - of resistance, of right vs. very wrong. This is a significant wedge, make it work for resistance - thank you Daniel.

I plan on writing Rick Scott then since I'm in FL too and let him know that we are demanding action and he needs to take action and help get him removed immediately that he is putting every American Citizen in extreme danger.

The only thing I trust pRick Scott to continue to fight for is access to our Medicare fund. He already raped Medicare once and got caught. He's been just biding his time ever since for another chance to stuff his pockets. It's disgusting that people willingly vote for obvious crooks like Scott and Trump again and again. Why!?

And in NC we have gone thru the same crap with HCA that Scott enabled in FL (and I bet he is still a major stockholder). People have died laying on gurneys in emergency dept hallways because of cost cutting. Entire depts of physicians, eg Cancer docs, have quit. The problem in WNC is we are basically a captive audience. There is very little real competition to what was once a great hospital system. Of course they knew this when they bought out Mission.

It be so. Send a copy to your congressperson. Mine is a MAGAT on the House Foreign Affairs committee. Scott is the only one who had gotten back to me.

21 other senate Republicans probably feel this way but won't speak up. What does Mike Turner say?

Rick Scott is a freak. Anything he writes is not to be believed. He is one of the worst US Senators in history. Rick Scott is one of the instigators of Project 2025. He sold out Democracy and Law and Order.

It's fake outrage.

This is all performative, not to be so instantly shocking.

This was planned in advance, when they collected ALL the data in the battle states and battle districts needed to make whatever 'adjustments' they needed to switch the final voting.

Cyber Ninjas and others alike -- like the people who had access to the voting machines in Georgia -- can even replace ballots with all that data.

As I've taken a bit of time to consider this, I think it can't hurt to send this on as suggested. even if he doesn't back this up and is just trying to appease his constituency, he and other legislators will Have to pay attention if they begin receiving thousands of copies of this letter - especially from Florida.

Has Senator Scott actually admitted or realized that he's more afraid of handing Putin more power than he is of tRump and the republican party? If so, and this letter isn't a hoax, then about time and good for him! I know that MTN is very good at verifying what they share, I sincerely hope they haven't been hoaxed with this. I'll probably wait a day before responding as Daniel Solomon suggests.

The focus should not be on the legislature anyway They are craven politicians The answer to this rogue fascist regime is not legislative, that's lost It's up to us WE THE PEOPLE!!! If Kings Trump and Musk want to take down the people's republic then come at us

I say that WE THE PEOPLE take his government down by a DEBT STRIKE On the street protests are fine but an ECONOMIC PROTEST would collapse King Trump We need to organize like we did in 1776
