๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Denmarkโ€™s PM Mette Frederiksen:

Our problem in Ukraine is still that there are red lines when it comes to the weapons they can use to win this war.

And you cannot win a war with one hand tied on your back. We need to give them weapons so they can strike into Russia.

โ€ผ๏ธ Watch this if you dare! Act like this if you consider yourself a decent human being.

Ukraine is not just some random country on the news. It's a litmus test for each one of us.

Polish Foreign Minister Radosล‚aw Sikorski just schooled Czech Deputy Prime Minister Petr Macinka into accepting that the European Union operates as a democracy.

Populists have nowhere to hide when met with hard facts.

An extraordinary exchange. Well worth a watch.

ABC: Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as AG?

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the โ€œbaby jailโ€ in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But itโ€™s routine. And disgusting.

Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."

The devil Steve Bannon worked with the pedophile king to attack the Jesuit pope over Church doctrine on social justice.

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how weโ€™re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ Finnish President Stubb to Putin:

He wanted to make Ukraine Russian. It became European.

He wanted to prevent the enlargement of NATO. He got Finland and Sweden.

And he wanted to keep our defense expenditure down, and itโ€™s now going up to 5%.

Minnesota, you won. Much of ICE are leaving. Don't trust this. They are trying to get the funding bill passed. Once the bill passes they'll be back at it either by you or someplace else.
