Russian soldiers surrendered en masse to Wagner PMC in Voronezh.
Wagner now controls both Rostov (population 1.1 million) and Voronezh (also population 1.1 million). Wagner is now approaching Krasnodar (1 million) and Volgograd (950k) without any resistance.
The Wagner forces are now in Rostov-on-Don near the Ukrainian border. Been fascinating the last hour watching the road closures pop up in real time on Google Maps between there and Moscow 800 miles north.
We all came together and proved that we can do big things again in Pennsylvania.
We showed the world that when times get hard, Pennsylvanians show up for one another.

Paul Singer spent a cool $500,000 in SuperPAC money against me in my 2016 Congressional race.
I joined Ted Lieu and others in suing, arguing that Singer's single candidate SuperPAC was a clear corruption problem even after Citizens United.
Denied cert by... the Supreme Court.
Singer’s hedge fund came before SCOTUS at least 10 times in cases where his role was often covered by the mainstream media.
In 2014, the court agreed to resolve a key issue in a battle between his hedge fund and Argentina. Alito did not recuse himself. https://propublica.org/article/samuel-alito-luxury-fishing-trip-paul-singer-scotus-supreme-court?taid=6492d840ef81bc000113b880&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter…
