In English we know it as “Carol of the Bells,” but the melody arises from a Ukrainian folk tradition of songs welcoming the new year and summoning the forces of nature to meet human labor and bring prosperity.
Do listen.

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.
It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.
The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.
They make sure we have clean water.
They protect us from financial fraud.
They provide healthcare to our communities.
They make our government actually work for people.
Do not forget this.

Charlie Kirk said of Jasmine Crockett, “What she represents is very serious, which is the continued attempt to eliminate the white population in this country.” You call that incitement. But it's free speech, and so are the things people said about Kirk.

Republicans want to prosecute the left for incendiary words that could lead to violence. They should read Kirk’s own incendiary words first.
