Rep. Keating to Rubio: "I'm sure you're aware that Ukraine, country that at the time had third-largest nuclear arsenal, peacefully turned over their nuclear weapons in conjunction with Budapest Memorandum.

And in exchange for U.S. commitment to defend Ukraine if it ever came under threat. The U.S. gave its word to Ukraine that it would defend them.

And I find this amazing. In your opening remarks, as you took us all over the world and mentioned 15 different incidents where you have interceded — 15, the top 15 — not once did you mention Ukraine when you were prioritizing achievements that are there."

Today is the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression. For Ukrainians, this is a painful reality that has become part of everyday life.

Since 2022 alone, Russia has killed 707 Ukrainian children, injured 2,548, and left 2,318 missing. The youngest victim was just two days old - born and killed in a maternity hospital.

These figures may be far higher, as the full truth about what has happened in the temporarily occupied territories remains unknown. In addition, at least 20,470 Ukrainian children have been deported to Russia or forcibly displaced.

Eternal memory to all the children whose lives have been taken by Russia's aggression...

Most butterfly gardens are built to feed butterflies. The good ones are designed to make more butterflies.

A yard full of nectar flowers is a snack bar for the adults, and that's a fine thing to offer. But flowers alone make a rest stop, not a home. A few other pieces turn it into the real thing.

The big one is host plants. Caterpillars don't drink nectar, and most won't eat just any leaf. Monarch caterpillars need milkweed; black swallowtails want dill, parsley, or fennel. Without the specific plant a species lays its eggs on, your garden raises no butterflies of its own.

Then the small stuff. A flat rock or two in full sun gives them somewhere to bask, since a butterfly can't fly until the sun has warmed its wings. A shallow dish of wet sand lets them "puddle," pulling up the salts and minerals nectar doesn't provide. A wind-sheltered corner, with a few stems and leaves left standing through winter, gives them places to rest and overwinter.

And no spray, not even the organic kind, since most of it kills caterpillars just as readily as the pests.

This is how your butterfly garden stops being a place they pass through and starts being a place they come from.

I will admit to being surprised that Trump is giving in and apparently following court order.

@MysterySolvents @smc429 Well… by tomorrow Trump will tell MAGA that he built the pool, was never there, there was nothing there, just grass and some bushes and because he felt it definitely needed a pool he simply took the initiative and got one built from scratch

Because of your voice on Delaney Hall, the Trump admin just released 18 yr old high school senior whose story I told. They released the pregnant women held inside. These releases show ICE isn’t targeting the violent criminals. ICE is feeling the pressure. Keep raising your voice.

A 29-year-old man is set to be deported from Spain after admitting to brutally killing his ex-partner’s cat, Nala, in a shocking act described as “vicarious violence.”

Authorities said the man attacked the cat on a Torrevieja street, smashing the animal against a wall before repeatedly kicking her to death. Horrific footage of the incident sparked outrage across Spain’s Costa Blanca region.

Prosecutors said the attack was intended to emotionally harm his former partner by targeting her pet. The man reportedly accepted deportation in exchange for avoiding a prison sentence, while the case has renewed attention on animals being used in domestic abuse situations.

We have all been saying this for months!

The lack of morning weather balloons launched across the western and central U.S. is having a real, tangible impact on degrading forecast quality.

We can't look at weather balloon data that doesn't exist. We can't pump nonexistent data into models. We can't rely as heavily on models that don't "know" what's happening above our heads.

Today's severe weather forecast is less certain because we don't have weather balloon data to confirm the strength of jet stream winds aloft.

This is extremely frustrating, and is the result of logistical, organizational, political and budgetary decisions.

BREAKING: Hunter Biden SHREDS the media's double standard toward the Trump family in one devastating post — and EVERY word is documented.

Hunter Biden just posted something on X that cuts right to the heart of America's broken media landscape — and it's IMPOSSIBLE to argue with.

"So let me get this straight," he wrote. "Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom," referring to the comments the CNN anchor has made about disbelieving some of the claims in Jill Biden’s latest memoir.

"Meanwhile, Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land." TRUE. Over 100,000 Albanians are in the streets. Anti-corruption prosecutors have opened an investigation. Flamingo habitats are being bulldozed. It BARELY registers on mainstream media.

"Don Jr. married the daughter of Epstein's banker." Also TRUE. While Epstein survivors read their FBI abuse reports aloud outside the Justice Department, Pam Bondi refused to answer a even a SINGLE question about Trump and the Epstein files, and DOJ lawyers intervened to make sure she didn't.

"A startup that Donald Jr. fund backs just got a record $620 million Pentagon loan." FACTCHECK: ALSO TRUE. While Trump's own financial disclosures show him trading stock in companies his administration then hands billion-dollar contracts to, Don Jr.'s SHADY investment connections to Pentagon contractors receive almost NO scrutiny from mainstream media.

"Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5 billion in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted." Also TRUE, but that story got almost NO coverage.

And then Hunter Biden delivered the punchline that lands like a sledgehammer: "And I know: 'But what about your paintings, Hunter?'"

HUNTER IS 100% RIGHT: His art sales, laptop, and legal troubles consumed years of breathless media coverage. The Trump children's CORRUPT overseas business deals, foreign investments, Pentagon contracts, and connections to Jeffrey Epstein's associates a free pass.

And while Jake Tapper attacks Jill Biden is being attacked for a book, Jared Kushner is bulldozing protected wetlands for a $4 billion resort while his father-in-law runs foreign policy, while raising BILLIONS from shady deals with foreign governments.

There is simply NO comparison!

Rep. Keating to Rubio: "Now on Iran. Trump administration issued general license to Russia, providing billions in oil profits every month — several billion every month — fueling Putin's war machine.

You didn't mention that in your opening remarks. Russia is waging war of aggression against Ukraine, and we gave them our license agreement.

And we do this to Ukraine, a country that's assisting us in Iran, while we are helping Russia fund its war machine — a country that is aiding Iran against us and putting our service members in jeopardy."

The fosterer came back for their foster dog. The moment the dog saw them, it lit up with pure joy — eyes squinted in happiness, smiling so big that its whole face wrinkled up with relief.

The fosterer gently said, 'I told you we'd come back… I told you.'" 💗

Oh Lord, how can this be? 💔

Outstanding Ukrainian athlete and Master of Sports in swimming Denys Popovych has been killed on the front line.

An incredibly talented athlete.

Denys was born in Volyn. He set Ukrainian records and brought glory to his native region on sports arenas across the country.

Swimming was the passion of his entire life.

He truly lived for sport.

But when the enemy stepped onto our homeland, he left everything behind and went to defend his country.

He fought the invaders to the very end.

He gave the most precious thing he had for all of us, for our beloved Ukraine.

And this is a tremendous, heartbreaking loss. An immeasurable tragedy. ❤️‍🩹

Eternal and blessed memory to a Ukrainian Hero. 🕯️
