This is an absurd claim. Putin has ruled Russia as an autocrat for 26 years without allowing opposition parties to compete in elections. He has killed his main political opponents, Nemtsov and Navalny & stifled independent media and civil society. In Ukraine, you have the exact opposite— competitive elections, independent media, robust civil society, and Zelenskyy doesn’t kill or jail his opponents.
Russia is a freer and more democratic country under Putin than Ukraine is under Zelensky.
It’s just a reality we need to accept.
We’ve been scammed.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Objective metrics contradict the claim: Ukraine ranks substantially higher than Russia in freedom and democracy. Freedom House 2026: Ukraine 51/100 Partly Free, Russia 12/100 Not Free. freedomhouse.org/country/ukrain… freedomhouse.org/country/russia… Reporters Without Borders 2026: Ukraine 55th (66.10), Russia 172nd (23.15). rsf.org/en/country/ukr… rsf.org/en/country/rus…

When all this is over, @realDonaldTrump will be remembered as the greatest traitor to America in its history.
Children in school will learn of his treachery as a warning to future generations. People will spit on the ground when they hear his name. His works will be torn down, one and all.
Do any of the corrupt Republicans have ANY decency anymore? Any?

President Trump declines to answer when asked what he meant by "let them take out Los Angeles and San Diego."

As great as these poles are, don't get complacent.
Everyone needs to get out and vote.
Then get 10 other people to go vote too.
Leave nothing to chance.

Mamdani: "I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city."
This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.
This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.
Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.
Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.
Abolish ICE.

And her success is getting widespread validation and recognition, unlike Trump's made-up claim that he "ended 8 wars" while he can't end the real, visible one he started with Iran.
Congrats to her! 🍾🕊️💚🥂
#Trump can kick rocks. He's a simpleton, a narcissist, and a liar who wants full credit for nothing.
