This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

New from @propublica.org: A third Texas woman, Porsha Ngumezi, died under that state’s abortion ban. Instead of the D&C she needed, doctors gave her misoprostol. The bleeding continued and she died. www.propublica.org/article/pors...
A Third Woman Died Under Texas’ Abortion Ban. Doctors Are Avoiding D&Cs and Reaching for Riskier Miscarriage Treatments.
