Tulsi Gabbard say that she doesn’t control the Russian bots that support her, but she did control the hiring of Chris Cooper, the smear campaigner who was paid by Natalia Veselnitskaya and her Russian backed sponsors to smear me and try to repeal the Magnitsky Act in DC.
I asked @TulsiGabbard - twice - if she disavows Russian state media support of her campaign. Gabbard: "This is not about Russia. This is about a smear campaign that has been waged against me. " & "Again, I don't control them. I don't control what anyone else says or does."

An extraordinary moment for our family. My daughter Sophia just got her GCSE results (the National U.K. academic exam) and she was ranked #1 in the country out of 622,000 students. She is the nicest and most humble person I know, but I need to scream this from the rooftops.
So proud of my sister, Sophia Browder. Out of the 622,000 students who took their GCSE exams, she is ranked NUMBER ONE in the entire UK. She worked so hard to make it happen. Congrats Sophia! (1/2) #gcse2022

Let’s make no mistake, Putin assassinated Navalny. He did so because Navalny was brave enough to stand up to Putin. He did so because Navalny offered the Russian people and alternative to kleptocracy and repression. This is a tragic day for Navalny’s family but also for Russia.

EU's Magnitsky/global human rights sanctions regime has this morning been formally adopted. End of a 10 year fight.

This is good. Every celebrity should be asking the crowd to chant Navalny’s name. Putin should know that he crossed a line that he can never return from.

Tucker, Moscow hasn’t been safe for my friends Sergei Magnitsky, Boris Nemtsov or Vladimir Kara-Murza whose lives have been destroyed for criticising Putin. If you were Russian & said the same things about Putin that you say about Biden, you’d already be six feet under.

This is a very ugly development that makes no sense. Letting Deripaska off the hook is a huge gift to Putin at a time when Putin is spreading chaos and crime around the world.
Trump's Treasury Dept. just lifted sanctions imposed on US Rusal PLC, En+ Group PLC and JSC EuroSibEnergo — three companies linked to Russian oligarch Oleg #Deripaska, said to be one of Putin's favorite oligarchs. #Russia .

This is outrageous. Natalia Rybka is attested and brutally manhandled the moment she touched down in Moscow after being deported from Thailand. Just to remind you, she secretly taped Deripaska on his yacht with a senior Russian official talking about manipulating US politics.
В аэропорту скручивают опасного преступника - Настю Рыбку. Вина её велика: она была проституткой на яхте миллиардера Дерипаски и сняла видео, на которое попал вице-премьер правительства Приходько. Поэтому сейчас Рыбке крутят руки, а к Приходько и Дерипаске у полиции претензий нет

It’s looking more and more like Alexei Navalny, Putin’s most fierce critic has been poisoned with “undefined chemical substances”. Very bad news, if true.

As Russia conducts a genocidal war to eliminate Ukrainians and Putin is wanted for crimes against humanity by the ICC, Tucker Carlson, an American citizen and influencer, is in Moscow?!? Either he’s remarkably stupid or consciously evil. No other excuse.
Tucker Carlson has been in Moscow for the past three days, according to Russia's Mash outlet. He was spotted at the Bolshoi Theatre today.

I wish people would stop referring to Tucker Carlson as a journalist. A journalist is someone who is objective. Tucker Carlson has an agenda and brazenly lies to support that agenda. His lies cost Fox News $787m. His work in Moscow for Putin will cost the world far more than that.
Tucker Carlson has been useful to Viktor Orban because he helps him hide his corruption behind the veil "culture war," as I wrote in September. Reposting because Carlson is in Moscow, doing the same favor for a much bloodier, more dangerous autocrat.

For every person in this crowd, there are thousands of other Russians too afraid to come out and say the same thing. Putin made a grave error ordering the killing of Alexei Navalny. It will haunt him until the end of his life.
"Putin Murderer !" is chanted by Alexey #Navalny's supporters as his hearse his driven away and covered with carnations flung from behind the barricades

I’m getting lots of questions on which Putin oligarchs to sanction. Since they all sue anyone who utters their names for libel, please refer to Layla Moran MP’s speech in which she names 35 of them (and all the names can now be repeated under parliamentary privilege).
Layla Moran uses parliamentary privilege to name 35 Russian oligarchs that she thinks should be sanctioned. 👏

The arrest of American Paul Whelan in Moscow by the FSB as he was visiting Russia to attend a wedding looks increasingly like a hostage situation. All foreign travellers to Russia should beware that anything could happen. The US government should intervene decisively in this case.
My brother was detained by the Russian government on Friday as an alleged spy. While the law library + info focus will remain, you may see an increase in off-message topics until we get him safely home.

This is masterful. In Belarus, the non violent female protestors pulled the masks off of the secret policemen. The police may be able to commit atrocities but there will be no anonymity.

BREAKING: EU Foreign Ministers approve EU Magnitsky Act after Hungary drops its objections. This is a gigantic development. If human rights violators cannot travel to Europe (and they’re already banned from the US and Canada) it will be devastating for them. Thanks @swsjoerdsma.
MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH!. European ministers approve a new global sanctions regime against human right violators. It is an European Magnitsky Act in everything but the name.

Stay in your lane Elon. This is not helpful to anyone but Putin.
Ukraine-Russia Peace:. - Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people. - Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake). - Water supply to Crimea assured. - Ukraine remains neutral.

According to the Foreign Minister of Ukraine, Russia may be planning a dirty bomb attack on its own territory to blame on the Ukrainians to justify a massive escalation in the war. This is not hyperbole. Putin did exactly this with apartment bombs in 1999 and blamed on Chechnya.
Russian propaganda has gone off the rails and speculates Ukraine might be preparing to drop a ‘dirty bomb’ on the Russian territory. This is a sick fake. Ukraine doesn’t have nuclear weapons, doesn’t conduct any work to create/acquire them. We are a responsible member of the NPT.

I just want to point out that the population of Hungary is 10m and the population of the EU is 448m. That means that a country with 2.2% of the EU is blocking the will of 97.8% in supporting Ukraine. The rules of the EU are in desperate need of being changed.

We need to understand Putin is a mass murderer and Prigozhin is also a mass murderer. There are no good guys in this fight. Having said that, Prighozin said yesterday the Ukraine invasion was a mistake so there’s a chance if he wins, the war would end. That’s impossible w/Putin.

Amazing discovery by the @navalny team. The largest superyacht in the world, the Scheherezade, rumoured to be owned by Putin has a 100% Russian crew who are all employees of Russia’s version of the US Secret Service (the FSO).
So you need to look not at the ownership structure but rather at who manages and pays for it. That’s what we have done. Here is the crew list. A complete list of every employee onboard. From the captain to security deckhands.
