In five months Charlie Kirk went from demanding Speaker Johnson ban TikTok to singing it's praises. Amazing what one billionaire donor that is invested in TikTok can do. How it started: How it's going:

WATCH: @drmoore says dismissing Trump's sexual abuse verdict has "devastating implications." "Think about the teenage girl in a church somewhere who's being abused by her youth pastor. ... She hears not only that, but when the victim is ridiculed ... the response is laughter."

President Zelensky of #Ukraine has just completed his historic and stirring speech to the US Congress. What were his key messages, and what might we take away from his address? A thread on my initial impressions. 1/24 🧵
