As Mr. #Rubio has kindly informed us earlier that today is #Russia day

I've prepared several facts of what #Putin's rule has brought #Russia to in the past 25 years

◾️ Finances:
The #Russian government plans to revise the federal budget for 2025, increasing the deficit by 250% – from $12 billion to $42 billion. The official inflation rate is supposedly 7.6% but according to estimates by the Foreign Intelligence Service, real inflation in #Russia already exceeds 20%

Since 2021, the #ICC had deprioritized the investigation into American troops in #Afghanistan & focused on alleged crimes committed by the Afghan govt & the #Taliban forces.
ICC judges also issued arrest warrants for #Netanyahu, fmr Israeli defense chief #YoavGallant & #Hamas leader #IbrahimAlMasri last Nov for alleged #WarCrimes & #CrimesAgainstHumanity during the #Gaza conflict. Alapini Gansou & Hohler ruled to authorize the arrest warrant against Netanyahu & Gallant, #Rubio said.

#MarcoRubio says the #US will begin revoking the #visas of #ChineseStudents, “including those w/connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.”

#Rubio said the govt will “aggressively” revoke visas for students from #China, which is the 2nd-largest country of origin for #InternationalStudents in the US, behind only India. In the 2023-2024 school year, >270k international #students were from China, making up ~¼ of all foreign students.

As much as I'm nauseated by the idea of hearing #Noem or #Rubio try to defend this inhuman treatment of #MahmoudKhalil and his family, I would like to see Congress haul them into chambers and find out exactly what the "security concerns" were that prevented a new father from seeing his one-month old baby. I am ashamed.
