What better illustration of the horseshoe theory of politics: Fabien Roussel, head of the French communist party, lost his seat tonight to the candidate of the far-right National Rally.

It’s an absolute outrage that Evan is spending his second Independence Day in a Russian prison. Today, ⁦The Wall Street Journal⁩ staffers served the Evan Burger at our building in London in his honor. We cannot wait to eat one with him. #IStandWithEvan #CookForEvan

An outrage, after a secret trial and no evidence. wsj.com/world/russia/e…

Evan Gershkovich’s sentencing to 16 years in prison is yet another gross perversion of justice by Putin’s lawless regime. This was a sham trial for bogus charges. Evan is a journalist, not a spy. It’s long past time to bring Evan, my constituent Paul Whelan, and all wrongfully
