Protests continue in Georgia, despite facing severe repression themselves, people nationwide showed their solidarity for Ukraine this week. Both countries are under attack by Russia's regressive fascism. #GeorgiaProtests #StandWithUkraine

Zelensky greets Vasyl Malyuk, Head of Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU), who oversaw Operation Spiderweb.
The drone attack has wiped out 40% of Russia’s bomber fleet, causing $7 billion in damage to its military capability.
Historic.

On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families have made to preserve our freedom. May we always strive to honor the strength and resolve they’ve shown our country.

May 26 is Georgia's Independence Day.
Georgia gained independence from Russia in 1918. Although Bolshevik Russia reoccupied Georgia three years later, and the occupation lasted for 70 years, the achievements of 1918 remain of paramount importance to the country.

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

36 years have passed since the massacre of April 9, when Soviet troops crushed a peaceful pro-independence protest in Tbilisi. 21 people were killed, mostly women, including minors, and hundreds were injured. Two years later, on April 9, 1991, Georgia regained its independence.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

It’s hard to think of a more disgraceful way to end a day of national disgrace.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump says he's pardoned about 1,500 defendants charged in Jan. 6 attack on US Capitol and is issuing six commutations.
