A Ukrainian Family’s Three Years of War Mykola Hryhoryan was on the front lines before being gravely injured. Now, with American support in question and the country’s troops depleted, he’s preparing for the possibility of going back.

Less than $200 to go! He is really the sweetest bun. Even after everything he’s been through and getting daily eye treatments for months he still hops right up to you for pets. 🥹

Please help little Arthur bun if you can! 🐇

Trump’s Putin-Like Cull of the White House Press Pool “It's something that is at the top of the authoritarian playbook list,” the staff writer Susan B. Glasser says. “You know, go after the independent press.”

On a new episode of our Political Scene podcast, the hosts discuss the Trump Administration’s attempts to diminish the freedom of the press, and what journalists can do to meet this moment. Listen here.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

HERO vs ZERO
I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.
