‘U.S Is Not Your Piggy Bank…’ U.S Lashes Out At Ukraine | Zelensky To Flee Ukraine Amid Tensions?

In a fiery declaration, U.S. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has vowed to block all future weapons funding for Ukraine over what she calls the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Citing President Zelensky’s crackdown on the nation’s largest Christian denomination, Luna, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, accused Ukraine of violating religious freedoms and warned that the U.S. is "not your piggy bank." Her post comes amid growing criticism in the U.S. of how billions in aid to Ukraine are being used, especially under Trump’s renewed “America First” policy. The issue has gained little attention in U.S. politics, but high-profile voices like Tucker Carlson have echoed similar concerns. The controversy deepens as Zelensky strips top clergy of citizenship and pushes legislation targeting churches with links to Russia.

Elon Musk Sets GOP On Fire: Backs ‘Loser’ Massie To Humiliate Trump In Revenge Power Play [Video]

Elon Musk Sets GOP On Fire: Backs ‘Loser’ Massie To Humiliate Trump In Revenge Power Play

A political firestorm has erupted after Elon Musk publicly declared his support for Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky who has drawn the ire of Donald Trump. Massie, known for opposing Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill and calling out recent Iran strikes as unconstitutional, now finds himself targeted by Trump in a fiery GOP primary feud. Trump labeled Massie a “pathetic loser” and vowed to campaign hard against him. However, Musk’s financial support and vocal backing on X could change the game. Former Rep. Justin Amash and grassroots conservatives have also rallied behind Massie, portraying him as a principled fiscal conservative resisting bloated spending. With nearly $309K raised in just a week, Massie’s campaign gains momentum amid the MAGA-driven backlash. The battle now highlights a deeper rift in the Republican Party — between loyalty to Trump and commitment to independent conservative values. #ElonMusk #TrumpVsMassie #GOPCivilWar #ThomasMassie #BigBeautifulBill #RepublicanPrimary #TrumpAttack #FiscalConservative #GOP2025 #USPolitics #CongressNews #ElonX #MAGA #GOPDrama #Massie2025 #RepublicanFeud #JustinAmash #TrumpTruthSocial #PrimaryBattle #SwampWars ~HT.408~
