🙋♂️ Raise your hand if you think the news of Gestapo style police attacks against Portland protesters should be getting much bigger headlines.
President Biden announced $36 billion to prevent drastic cuts to the hard-earned pensions of over 350,000 union workers and retirees – which they paid into for years and were endangered through no fault of their own.
Question, if getting Paul Whelan home is as easy as Republicans want you to believe, why didn't trump do it after he was arrested in 2018??
The Wife cheered me on over 10 months I was covering Brittney Griner's case. I was often the only reporter in the country doing so for weeks on end. She was so concerned for BG's well-being. I'm so sad that we can't share this huge victory together. But I am so happy BG is home.
NEW from the Whelan family: "There is no greater success than for a wrongful detainee to be freed & for them to go home. The Biden Admin made the right decision to bring Ms. Griner home, & to make the deal that was possible, rather than waiting for one that wasn't going to..”
Paul Whelan is not the only American still wrongly detained in Russia. Please don’t forget about Marc Fogel. I knew Marc when I was US Ambassador to Russia. He was a teacher to many of our diplomats and soldiers. He is a real patriot. We must fight for his release as well.
Today, Brittney Griner’s wrongful detention in Russia finally ends and she is on her way home to be reunited with her family. Her release is the product of painstaking negotiations and @POTUS’ commitment to bring home every U.S. citizen wrongfully detained anywhere in the world.
