One BIG difference between 2011 & 2023:
In 2011, the newly minted House Republican majority's refrain was "Where are the jobs" while they simultaneously demanded spending austerity.
Unemployment in January 2011 was 9.1%.
Today, unemployment is 3.4%, lowest since 1969.

Mastondon is a life raft scaling up to be a fleet.
Twitter is Cambridge Analytica, twitter is a manipulated platform that dumps far right tweets onto your timeline when it wants, and hides tweets silently.
Twitter is using familiarity like facebook did to funnel people to the far right. Or depress readers into inaction.
Come spring, we will be able to oust the Russians with the help of GLSDBs missiles with a kill radius of up to 150 km, which are expected to be delivered to Ukraine by 2023, according to Reuters. These missiles are not yet compatible with HIMARS, but the United States may provide Ukraine with new launchers for them.

The United States has declared a new arms package for Ukraine worth almost $2.2 billion, with some of the arms coming from the US stockpile and the remainder being purchased from a manufacturer.
The most important thing about the new US aid is the additional ammunition for HIMARS, 155-mm artillery shells, 120-mm mortar shells, 190 heavy machine guns with thermal imaging sights and ammunition, 181 MRAP armored vehicles, 200 Javeline ATGMs, 2000 anti-tank missiles, 2 launchers for air defense HAWK, high-precision missiles, various equipment to strengthen air defense, and a lot of different military ammunition, medical supplies, etc. Additionally, 150 km GLSDB missiles were likely included in the additional ammunition for HIMARS or high-precision missiles.
The Polish Ministry of Defense has announced the commencement of training for Ukrainian military personnel in the use of Leopard tanks.
❗️In order to make up for its losses in personnel, the enemy has been carrying out a recruitment drive among prisoners. Over the past week, up to 1000 mercenaries have been recruited from prisons in the Novosibirsk region of the Russian Federation - GENSTAB.
