The US and Russia are rebuilding ties.
On the one hand, the US supports Ukraine against Russia in their 4-year war, while Russia supports Iran against the US in their recent military confrontation.
But on the other hand, the United States and the Russian Federation have been engaged in a difficult but potentially rewarding détente.

After the start of the war in Ukraine, US-Russian relations deteriorated to the worst level in history, but after the return of Donald J. Trump, the ties have improved considerably.
“The lawmakers’ visit to the United States, first reported by Russia’s Vedomosti newspaper, includes Vyacheslav Nikonov, a lawmaker who is the grandson of Josef Stalin’s foreign minister, Vyacheslav Molotov, according to Russian media reports.”

Lindsey Graham Spotted at Disney World Holding Bubble Wand as Government Shutdown Drags on


Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who has no children, was spotted spending his Spring break at Disney World over the weekend, as the government remains in a partial shutdown and Department of Homeland Security employees go without paychecks.
Graham was seemingly visiting the theme park alone, and he was photographed several times, having brunch at Chef Mickey’s and walking around the park.
In one photograph, he was seen strutting around while carrying a toy bubble wand for children.

TMZ reports that Graham was holding the bubble wand for a little girl while she was in the bathroom, according to an eyewitness.
This comes after the Senate passed a garbage funding bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, but without funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and ditched town for vacation.
Graham claims he was meeting with Trump officials in Florida and went to the resort afterward to meet with friends.
“I voted 7 times to fully fund the government. Call a Democrat,” Graham told TMZ.
President Trump on Sunday called the Senate’s funding measure “a shame” and said the Senate Republicans need to stop “playing it too soft” and terminate the filibuster while speaking to reporters on Air Force One.
Of Senate Leader Thune, Trump said, “I like him so much. He’s a high-quality person,” but added that he needs to step it up and lead in order to pass the SAVE America Act and reopen the government with full funding for DHS.

Other Senators are also living lavishly while the government remains partially closed, and they face calls to return to session.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, TMZ also obtained a photo of Bernie Sanders living large in First Class while he forces Americans to go without pay.

Senator Tom Cotton Blasts Democrats for Not Funding DHS – (VIDEO)


Senator Tom Cotton was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to discuss the funding of DHS.
Senator Cotton blasted the Democrat party and its leadership for their radicalized ideology to continue preventing the funding of DHS.
“What do you think of the President’s call for getting rid of the filibuster?” Bream asked.
“The President is right that the Democrats have become crazy on this issue,” Cotton said.
“The reason we are at this impasse is that Democrats are using long TSA lines to throw a temper tantrum about deportations of violent criminal illegal aliens and funding of ICE and Border Patrol,” Cotton said.
“We prefunded ICE and Border Patrol last summer in our big budget bill because we saw just how radicalized Democrats have become,” Cotton continued.
“What you have seen over the last week is Chuck Schumer continually move the goal post. He makes a deal and then he retreats from that deal,” Cotton explained.
Senator Cotton explained the intention of the Democrats, who have been radicalized. He said their goal of unmasking agents is so they can terrorize ICE agents and their families.
“Democrats insist that we write a new law that ICE officers can’t wear masks. The reason why ICE officers wear masks is because radical left-wing Democrats will dox them, and then their street militias will terrorize their wives and their kids at their houses,” Cotton explained.
“That’s why the Democrats are inflicting long TSA lines on the American people,” Cotton continued.
The Senator defended President Trump’s common-sense policies of prioritizing the safety of the American people from the disaster Joe Biden invited in during the previous four years.
“What the President is trying to do from the beginning is to protect the country from the wave of illegal immigration that Joe Biden invited into America that has brought depraved, savage gang members and drug traffickers into our country,” Cotton said.
“Now, the President on Friday made the decision that he’s gonna fund TSA using monies that have been appropriated for other purposes, but for which Congress gave him discretion to use,” Cotton explained.
