At least 25 women and girls, as young as 14, were raped by Russians in one basement in Bucha. Nine of them are pregnant. Russian soldiers said “they would rape them to the point where they wouldn't want sexual contact with any man, to prevent them from having Ukrainian children."

They don't care about them at all.

When Biden said flag draped coffins I couldn't stay silent. I told him directly he did it. He put 13 in there.

Our heroic servicemen and women deserve so much better.

Republicans are refusing to go to the State of the Union because they say having to take a Covid test is tyranny and Marxism. Tell that to the people of Ukraine, you cowards.
