Abandoning Ukraine will be a stain on the United States for the rest of time
Screenshot of a statement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reporting a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv targeting critical energy infrastructure, including the CHPP-4 power plant. Zelenskyy says a residential building was also damaged and caught fire, warns of further Russian missile attacks, and criticizes the lack of advance warnings from Ukraine’s partners. An accompanying nighttime photo shows flames engulfing part of a multistory residential building, with debris scattered across the ground.

This judge is not fucking around 🔥 Trump bulldozed ahead with cutting down hundreds of trees at the historic East Potomac Golf Links, despite a federal judge’s warning. She ordered work stopped & warned: “If that order is violated by as so much as two seconds, there will be contempt proceedings.”

7 shots fired into an SUV with a 5-year-old child in the back seat as the vehicle was moving away. Markwayne Mullin claims the driver “weaponized” his vehicle. Bullshit! “Weaponized vehicle” has become ICE’s go-to excuse for shooting folks. Where’s the evidence? It’s not in this new footage.
