On January 8, Ukrainian soldier and beloved poet Maksym Kryvtsov was killed by the Russian invaders.

Maksym was one of the hundreds of Ukrainians who die every week, while Republican Speaker Mike Johnson is holding back the aid to Ukraine.

We can no longer wake up Maksym.

But Speaker Mike Johnson needs to wake the fuck up.

Jamie Raskin Points Out That Trump Lawyer’s ‘Absurd Argument’ Would Incentivize Impeached Presidents to Assassinate Senators https://www.mediaite.com/crime/jamie-raskin-points-out-that-trump-lawyers-absurd-argument-would-incentivize-impeached-presidents-to-assassinate-senators/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

New studies suggest COVID variants may cause more severe disease.

Important caveat these are from studies on cells in a lab so we need to see if these observations translate in the real world.

The key takeaway is to not assume variants are becoming weaker. Evolution doesn’t work like that. It’s important to not be complacent and take precautions during this surge.

Tuberville really hasn't a clue! After interfering with our Military command structure as he has, to complain about Biden and Austin, about anything, is unthinkable!

Meanwhile, IDF says it has eliminated Hassan Hakashah, a key Hamas operative in Syria who was responsible for rocket fire into Israel.

Nope, this isn't a cult. Not at all!

Taiwan will hold its contentious presidential and legislative election on January 13, with millions of Taiwanese voters expected to vote and elect a new president to lead the democratic island amid heightened tensions across the Taiwan Strait.

Some analysts say the election outcome could significantly impact Taiwan’s direction in the next four years and the dynamics between China and Taiwan.

@GottaLaff A "pledge" means nothing to him so I assume the reason he didn't sign it was to troll the public and get the media to focus on it. I don't think it's important or worth focusing on because all pledges or oaths taken by Trump should be considered broken by default.
