Dear @apnews.com: Why is "Astronaut Neil Armstrong’s childhood home is for sale" popping up on my watch as "Breaking News"? It most certainly is **not** #breaking #news, and shouldn't be notifying as such. Also, stop using AI to write and edit articles; it does a poor job and is quite noticeable.
North Korea started deploying a missile unit of around 90 personnel&is preparing to transfer 120 ballistic missiles to be launched at Ukraine- Reuters Russia plans to integrate the unit into its 112th Missile Brigade&equip it with up to 120 ballistic missiles&six launchers for attacks on #Ukraine.
A little nose, big frightened eyes, and a soft, barely audible whimper in the middle of a burned-out forest. That's how Ukrainian rescuers found this tiny fawn while fighting wildfires in France. For Ukrainian firefighters, every life is worth saving. Thank you to each and every one!

Last night, #Ukraine was unable to shoot down any of the 28 missiles launched by Russia: 24 ballistic missiles and 4 hypersonic "Tsircon" missiles. Since last Saturday alone, over 50 ballistic missiles have been launched at Kyiv and nearby⤵️ 📷: Russian attacks last night
Ukraine’s grain corridor stays officially open. The ships have stopped coming anyway. After Russian attacks on the ships and ports, wheat and barley trains faced restrictions on inland routes. At peak harvest, that is how a sea war becomes a farm-price crisis. We map the chain in 2 minutes.
This was demented, and an example of the twisted f@cks in the Muscovite military. They must be evicted with prejudice from all of #Ukraine and prevented from reconstituting a military ever again. Slava Ukraïni 🇺🇦

💔 A 3-year-old girl watches her father dig through the ruins of their destroyed home in Kyiv. No child should have to learn what war looks like before they learn how to read. This is what russia is stealing from Ukraine’s children - not just homes, but the carefree childhood they deserved…
Wildberries warehouse in Volgograd has completely ceased to exist.
Ukrainian children are making their first steps amidst traces of russian terror — oblivious to the fact that someone wants to take their lives, before they’ve even started. Kids shouldn’t know such cruelty. They must be safeguarded from it: u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...
❤️🩹 Ukrainian soldier saves dog tangled in anti-drone net.
RFK Jr. likes to claim that he is “restoring trust” in public health, so let’s gaze at the glory of what he’s achieved. In March of 2025, 77% of adults trusted CDC recommendations. In March of 2026, it’s only 50%. Trust in public health in the U.S. has cratered since he took office.
Ken Paxton said the Uvalde shooting was part of a “plan” by “God.” 21 elementary school children and teachers were murdered in the shooting.

The lazy sociopath who golfs instead of working (on, say, a plan to win a war with Iran) wants terminally ill patients to work for benefits they’re entitled to.
Control of the House came down to 7,000 votes in five districts during the last midterms. We can’t take anything for granted this year, especially as the regime threatens mail-in voting, targets registration programs, and even tries to ban states from encouraging people to vote.
