In Tuesday's Maine Senate debate, Senator Susan Collins said she once couldn't afford health insurance. What she left out: after she lost a campaign in 1994, an assault-rifle maker who’d donated to her campaign helped land her next job. She later backed a bill shielding gunmakers from lawsuits.

The answer is for Ukraine to intensify and expand its attacks on Russian fuel infrastructure. Allied nations need to mobilise all resources to help Ukraine survive winter, protect energy infrastructure and ensure it has the means to sustain its defence. #StrongerTogether
• Flags: A line of national flags of European and allied nations (including the EU, Canada, the United Kingdom, and others) is displayed along a ridge or background structure.

• Military Logistics: Cargo planes (resembling a C-17 Globemaster) airdropping supplies via parachutes, military transport trucks, and stacks of crates in a snowy winter setting.
• Soldiers: Uniformed personnel wearing blue-and-yellow armbands (symbolizing Ukrainian colors) in a snowy fortification or defensive position.

• Slogan: The text "STRONGER TOGETHER" is prominently featured across the center of the image.

I think this clip should finally settle the endlessly debated “Hasan Piker question.” Every time a Republican attacks Hasan Piker, they waste a chance to attack the actual candidate on the ballot. Hasan’s a scapegoat absorbing any vulnerabilities of our actual candidates, & that helps us win.

World must change way it produces food to avoid biodiversity collapse, says WWF
Recovery of tigers, tuna and green sea turtles show nature loss can be reversed when action taken, charity says Conservation comebacks for wild tigers, tuna and green​ sea turtles prove that global nature loss can be reversed, ​scientists have said. ​But a report warns food production must be the next ​“positive tipping point​” if the world is to avert biodiversity collapse. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) analysed nearly 36,000 animal populations and more than 5,000 species, producing the largest ever database of vertebrate wildlife. Scientists found populations had declined by an average of 73% since 1970, showing that “nature continues to be degraded at an alarming scale”, with “no sign of losses slowing”. Continue reading...
