🇨🇿🇺🇦 We will all lose if Putin wins in Ukraine, — Czech President Petr Pavel

According to him, recent statements about secret negotiations between the US and Russia, in particular about the transfer of Ukrainian territories, are dangerously reminiscent of the Munich Agreement of 1938.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

A medical examiner hired by Jeffrey Epstein‘s family concluded he was likely murdered.

Who would benefit most if Epstein was silenced?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

12 year old Maria , mentioned in both of these photos was thought to have been kidnapped or perhaps murdered. I nearly fell off my chair, when the victims came to the White House to tell their stories. Tiny dark haired woman said, ‘ I’m victim number one. My name is Maria.’🥲

ICE deported a Sacramento mother of 8 U.S. citizen children just one day after she accused an ICE contractor of sexual abuse. Reyna Mendoza said the officer demanded “sexual favors” in exchange for help, telling her, “If you’re good to me, I’ll be good to you.” Her story aired Thursday night.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

I often see West Coast/Western state news stories that should be national and are not.

A number of LGBTQ businesses in Denver were attacked this week. Wonder why this kind of hate crime is occurring...
