Bernie is right: the Republicans cannot be allowed to axe healthcare for 15 million people and double the premiums of 20 million more to give tax cuts to billionaires.

Ukrainian Christians continue to worship Jesus right where their homes were destroyed just last night. Through tears, pain, and loss, they still give thanks for the gift of life. In the midst of devastation, they lift their voices in praise — glorifying God even in the darkest and hardest days.
