I accepted the letters of credence from the newly appointed ambassadors of Canada, Spain, Switzerland, Egypt, and Türkiye to Ukraine. Different countries and different relations, but each is important to Ukraine.
We value the diplomatic presence in Kyiv, alongside our people. Last night, the ambassadors experienced Russian ballistic missile strikes, saw the destruction, and indubitably understand how much Ukraine needs help in protecting lives. Supplies and the strengthening of our air defense – from Patriots to HAWKs – all of this matters every single day.
We discussed our efforts to achieve peace and Ukraine’s European integration. We also talked about Russia’s blockade of the Black Sea and the food crisis it is already causing in countries that rely on Ukrainian grain. And of course, we discussed current bilateral issues with all the ambassadors.
Thank you for supporting Ukraine.

For 18 months, I've traveled this state and looked you in the eye. Darline Graham has looked down at a script, written by Washington insiders trying to buy this seat.
Ok, one last time: I'm Dr. Annie Andrews and I approve this message.

House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said that new evidence is strong enough for Trump to be investigated by a grand jury for Epstein-related sex crimes.

Ukrainian Defenders evacuated 8 civilians from Lyman, shielding them from a Russian drone with their own bodies.
Among the rescued civilians were an elderly woman, three wheelchair-bound individuals with disabilities, and a man with a severe leg wound. Everyone was successfully brought to safety.
During the evacuation, a strike and search team operated on the ground, including French and American legionnaires: "Flash," "Cowboy," "Spud," "Chandra," and "Fanta." Aerial reconnaissance monitored the routes from above, warning of enemy ambushes. Logistics and the river crossing on MaxxPro armored vehicles were provided by a mortar battery and an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) unit.
At the final stage, a Russian FPV drone spotted and attacked the group. However, one of the fighters shielded the civilians with his body, sustaining severe injuries. Thanks to the timely actions of his brothers-in-arms, he survived.

🇮🇹 Ukraine has been waiting for military aid from Italy since December last year
The package is ready, the missiles are waiting, but there's still no authorization to send them, La Repubblica reports.
“The main thing is to delay, delay, delay,” the newspaper describes the current situation.
The reason? The US midterm elections on November 3, whose results Rome is waiting for.
Meanwhile, Kyiv is waiting for something far from insignificant: the package includes air defense missiles.

Next year, 300,000+ Virginians are likely to lose their Medicaid because of Trump’s cuts.
It’s unconscionable. While Trump gets billions richer, he purposefully strips Americans of their health care. We MUST reverse these cuts.

This November, Mainers will decide the direction of this whole country.
Is it for the billionaires and Trump, or everyday people like us?
We can protect Social Security, get people healthcare, and keep more of what we earn.
I owe nothing to the billionaires or Trump. I owe everything to the people of Maine. That's what's in my heart.

A helpless little baby on the day she was rescued from traffickers.
You can read her story in this thread, but first I want to say this:
Upwards of 80% of trafficked baby gorillas don’t survive, according to primatologist Lindsay Maess.
The mother and other family members are usually killed to get the baby.
The exotic pet trade is exploding—fueled by social media—and owners of these platforms can effectively censor and suppress posts they don't like—but allow this evil trade to flourish.
What happened to Bili is an eye-opening story of how hard it is to help these babies, even though she is one of the more fortunate few.

Trump’s 250-foot arch would cast a shadow on 50,000-75,000 graves at Arlington National Cemetery, according to studies conducted by VoteVets and the Washington Post.
Using a to-scale 3D model, the Post confirmed what VoteVets first uncovered: the arch's shadow would reach the cemetery on 284 days a year, passing over veterans of every war from the Civil War to Vietnam. For 18 days it would cover President Kennedy’s eternal flame, and for 109 days, it would shadow the Military Women’s Memorial.
The administration says the arch would “enhance the visitor experience.” Retired Army Major General Paul Eaton, whose own parents are buried at Arlington, called it what it is: a sacrilege. A monument to one man’s ego, casting its shadow over the people who actually earned that ground.
The federal panel reviewing it, stacked with Trump allies, could approve it as soon as November 5, with groundbreaking right after. Once it’s built, it cannot be unbuilt.

Since Trump’s election:
-Musk got $680 billion richer
-Musk became the 1st trillionaire
-SpaceX got $10 billion in federal contracts
-Tesla & SpaceX paid $0 in federal income taxes
Now, Musk’s spending $442 million to keep Republicans in control of Congress.
Gee, I wonder why?

I have never in my 24 years of life seen my Latino community embrace a politician as much as I have seen them embrace James Talarico.
Something is happening in TX.
Check out “El Corrido de James Talarico,” an original corrido produced by Latin Grammy winner Salvador “Chava” Chavez in McAllen, Texas. It tells the story of James Talarico — a fighter who’ll take on corruption, lower costs, and protect Texas families. Dance to the polls:

One week until Election Day, Minnesota.
My running mate, Ben Schierer, and I are ready to get to work for Minnesota. We’ll cut through the red tape, bring down health care premiums and the cost of child care, and lower housing costs by working with the private sector to build more homes.

Greenland has now lost more ice than it has gained for 30 consecutive years, losing around 135 billion tonnes in the year to August 2026.
Even with a relatively cool start to summer and less melting than in previous years, the ice sheet continued to shrink.

NEW: Mail ballot rejection rates in North Carolina now sit at nearly 6% following Republicans' decision to implement a new envelope sealing rule before the midterms.
One advocate noted that the steadily-growing rate "could make the difference in many key races.” demdock.com/4i97saq

UPDATE: Judge Carter ends his hearing with a warning to DOJ:
"This court believes it would be wise that any threats to state and county elected employees cease immediately. Good night."
He will issue a formal ruling tomorrow but appears to be rejecting DOJ's emergency efforts.

This is deeply troubling.
We just learned that Pete Hegseth’s Spiritual Advisor said that “separation of church and state does not exist”
Pete Hegseth is a threat to American democracy and must be fired immediately.
