Once again we wake up to the news of horrible atrocities by Russia through its aerial attacks on Ukraine. Russia must pay for the destruction it has caused. And we are using the proceeds from the immobilised Russian assets to make sure it does.

💔🇺🇦 Zelensky: As of now, 44 people are known to have been injured in the massive Russian strike on Kyiv and the Kyiv region. Unfortunately, 17 more people died. The strike was heavy: 24 ballistic missiles, 4 “Zircon/Onyx” and another 115 drones, a significant part of them jet.

Sadly, @theguardian.com isn't what it was a year ago. It used to have great US political reporting. Now it's more UK cultural reviews than news. Easier and cheaper to fill, a magazine more than a newspaper. Here's a source for incisive US political reporting: "This Is America" on Al Jazeera English.

The difference between Republicans and Democrats: Unsubstantiated media claim about alleged sexual abuse years ago by Republican operative gets popular Democratic candidate thrown out immediately. (Set up by his own party?) Police reports don't hinder Republicans. www.politico.com/live-updates...

A Russian FPV drone deliberately targeted a civilian food vendor at a market in Kherson. The 52-year-old man suffered blast trauma, shrapnel wounds and concussion. This is part of what Ukrainians call Russia's "human safari" terror campaign targeting Kherson residents. #Ukraine

🚨 The occupiers have begun to actively use jet drones and "Banderol" in the Chernihiv region - hybrids of a cruise missile and a drone with a speed of up to 650 km/h, which are much more difficult to shoot down. Yesterday, Chernihiv, Pryluky and Novhorod-Siverskyi were under attack.

Here's why Democrats are going to blow it: Just because voters don't like Trump (a lot!) doesn't mean they like you !! Don't try to REGISTER Independents or Republicans as Democrats! Just get them to VOTE. But Democrats are all about proselytizing, and their identity politics will turn people OFF.
