20 people is the death toll in Zaporizhzhia from the Russian strike today. Three of them are kids. 18 more people injured, three of them kids, as well. Russia killed about 70 Ukrainian civilians within the past several days. Heartbreaking and painful.

Just a reminder that whenever Trump says that inflation started with Biden, what he neglects to say was that it was a result of efforts to offset his incredibly botched handling of COVID and the economic consequences it triggered.

📌Last night, Trump welcomed Iran "taking out San Diego and Los Angeles." If this came out of the mouth of ANYBODY it would be sickening. That it came out of the mouth of the president is horrifying. You will not find ANY reporting of this treasonous incident on the front page of the NYT. WHY?

This is the definition of cruel and unusual punishment. She had a delay to her execution and the Supreme Court overruled it and said she could be killed. She survived TWO lethal injections and had to be transported to hospital. The death penalty must be abolished:
