law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Last year, Russia imported 5.4 MILLION shipping containers.
After today’s historic attack, every single one is a potential weapon that Putin is terrified of.
Not only has Ukraine neutered Russia’s long-range air capability today, but they just crippled its supply chain & economy.
Utter genius.

Constituent: Trump and his cabinet in addition to being totally unqualified and inept are breaking laws by ignoring federal judge's orders. When are you going to do the responsibility you are elected for by holding the executive branch accountable up to and including impeachment?

The final section of this interview is so powerful. Dr Haj-Hassan refusing to let the BBC “two-side” the genocide in Gaza.
"You don't ask the perpetrator of genocide their opinion on whether they are committing a genocide".
The eloquence in her rage is extraordinary.

A remarkable interview with Dr Tanya Haj-Hassan, a paediatrician working in Gaza, following the killing of her colleague’s NINE children by Israeli forces.
Going to post this video in two clips.
Here she responds to ludicrous IDF denials & calls out the genocide.
