BREAKING: The AP just called the 2024 presidential election for Donald Trump. We’re clear-eyed about the chaos and destruction a second Trump administration will cause to our nation. That’s why we’re done with handwringing, admiring the problem, or waiting anxiously to see which unlawful action President-elect Trump will take on Day One. We are ready to take action the minute Trump takes the oath of office.

Two women have died in Texas in the last month because complications from miscarriages and failure to promptly provide the requisite medical treatment. This is because of Donald Trump’s Supreme Court overturning 5 decades of precedent. Vote for Kamala Harris to save women’s lives.

Mariupol, Chasiv Yar, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Pokrovsk... Before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, these cities were bustling with life. Now, Russian forces have destroyed & razed them to the ground. This is what they look like after Feb 2022. Such is the “Russian world.”

"Why are we speaking about history? We are speaking because it is happening again now. Russia is again committing genocide against Ukrainians. It's not new - it's the pattern that continues for a long time, for 100 years." - Ukrainian MP and PACE member @GoncharenkoUa

Today we mourn the loss of a brilliant journalist, but - more importantly - a magnificent human being. His listeners included ambassadors and the heads of US departments, but he never changed. He was utterly authentic and empathetic. Thank you, David. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/09/0…

I just heard back from senior staff at Fairmont JPL: "...We can confirm that the fire has reached the Fairmont #Jasper Park Lodge grounds, however, we are unclear on the extent of damage. At this time, we know that parts of the resort remain untouched." Parts. #JasperWildfire

This is what Ukraine is up against. The Russian war is one that deliberately ignores any rules and laws of war. The Russian army does not properly feed, systematically abuses, tortures and at times rapes and executes Ukrainian prisoners of war…
