Morning Bluesky.

Ukraine’s military intelligence commander Yuriy Shchyhol says drone strikes have been so successful Russia no longer has operational airfields within 300 kilometres to launch attacks on Ukraine.

There is no specific constitutional prohibition against beating women or sexually assaulting them, so it’s hard to see why Democrats have such a big problem with Pete Hegseth or Matt Gaetz or RFK Jr. or Donald Trump. I’m probably leaving somebody out. But you see the point.
