During the battle over mandatory COVID vaccinations, several veterans told me they found it silly given how many vaccinations were standard for servicemembers. Here’s an example of why:
There has been distressing news about the war in #Ukraine, which keeps expanding. There are many innocent victims, rescue workers killed, and churches and cultural heritage sites devastated by flames. I am close to all those who mourn their loved ones, to the wounded, and to those who continue to serve life with courage amid violence. Let us #PrayTogether that this war may end. Let us ask the Lord to open paths of dialogue, extinguish hatred, and make a just and lasting #Peace possible.
The scientists have been right about climate change all along, says former Vice President Al Gore on the 20th anniversary of the release of "An Inconvenient Truth," the Oscar-winning documentary about Gore's campaign to educate people about climate change.

When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.
Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.
A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.
The Trump administration tried to auction oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge—home to iconic wildlife like polar bears and caribou—but companies had little interest in drilling in one of the last truly wild places in the U.S. https://t.co/HuCAbuzMcf
The coronavirus vaccine reduced the risk of major cardiovascular events linked to covid-19 — strokes, heart attacks, and hospitalization from heart disease — by about 40 percent, according to new research. https://t.co/cQjvi8EMpX
We offered Putin to meet anywhere where real decisions to end the war could be made. He does not want it.
We discussed with the U.S. and France the possibility of a meeting with Russia around the G7, with all democratic nations represented. Putin does not want it.
Yesterday, we discussed with President Trump that such a meeting could be organized in the U.S. – in a format where Putin would find it much harder to refuse at least to President Trump.
We will see what comes of it. If Russia refuses this chance as well, additional pressure will be needed.

La Laure de Kyiv-Pechersk, l'un des hauts lieux de l'orthodoxie ukrainienne inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'humanité de l'UNESCO, a été touchée cette nuit dans l'importante frappe de missiles et de drones russes qui a, de nouveau, pris Kyiv pour cible et fait des victimes civiles.
Tout comme la guerre d’agression que mène la Russie contre l’Ukraine depuis plus de 4 ans, rien ne justifie cette attaque contre notre patrimoine universel.
La France se tient prête à coopérer avec les autorités ukrainiennes en charge du patrimoine.
Cette attaque ne fait que renforcer notre détermination à tout faire, avec nos alliés et partenaires, pour travailler à un cessez-le-feu que la Russie refuse toujours obstinément, puis à la paix. Nous y œuvrerons au G7, à Evian.
The lack of respect these conservatives have for history and women is astounding.
In 1917, the women's suffrage movement in the United States was gaining momentum and becoming more defiant. They were being arrested and jailed for weeks at a time. During the Night of Terror, 33 women who had been arrested were tortured.

For 251 years, the U.S. Army has defended the nation and secured our freedoms.
Proud and honored to have served our country in peace and war.
Happy Birthday @USArmy!
Step 9 in the fight for democracy is electing leaders who protect us. The FBI raids against Ohio grassroots organizations echo attacks on the right of Black and brown voters to be heard. We must be vigilant about defending our democracy — everywhere for everyone. So we register, engage, and vote. Together, we must protect our rights.
This is one of the most extraordinary human moments I’ve seen on air. A few months ago Bill Ritter embraced my family after my father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Now we all need to throw our love and care behind Bill and join forces against Alzheimer’s.

Talarico fires back at Ken Paxton and Ted Cruz for questioning his masculinity: Real men don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves.
More of this please!!
RFK Jr has cut Alzheimers research.
Alzheimers.
One of the most devastating, urgent and increasing health problems we face today.
He's not interested.
He's a nasty piece of work.
I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support that @MichelleObama has poured into me over the years. Her story — from her South Side roots to the White House and beyond — is a central part of the Obama Presidential Center.
