There is no military reason for russia to attack #Kyiv. The Ukrainians do not have missiles that can fly from Kyiv to russia, or even from Kyiv to Donbas. #russia is not even claiming it as territory like they do #Donbas. This is solely to torture civilians as they try to sleep. It is 5 am there as I write this. #ukraine

With antisemitism on the rise, this kind of hateful and misleading rhetoric is simply unacceptable.
Hate speech has no place in society and certainly not in our public schools.

From across the aisle, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s words in praise of President Biden are echoing across America: "He is very professional. Very smart. Very strong beliefs."
Americans fully understand President Joe Biden is the leader they can trust.

Here’s a short video of a bee flying around the inside of one of the flowers on my trumpet tree.
My trumpet tree is in bloom! It’s still short, but it’s been a year since I cut a piece, rooted it, and planted it in the new back yard.

DEMOCRATS:
*The Roosevelt administration started Social Security and the GI Bill.
*The Truman Administration passed "The Housing Act of 1949" (FHA) providing guaranteed affordable housing for all Americans.
*The Kennedy administration started food stamps.
*The Johnson administration started Medicare and Medicaid, The Voting Rights Act and Stafford Loans.
*The Clinton administration started the children's Chip Program.
*The Obama administration started the most comprehensive healthcare plan since FDR, the ACA.
*The Biden Administration has passed the "Build Back Better Act" providing the biggest expansion of affordable health care in a decade—including greater access to world-class care for veterans and $400 billion to Head Start, childcare assistance and Pre-K for all children.
JUST TO NAME A FEW....
My guess is many Republicans have benefitted from these programs.

By focusing on Confederate contributions, The United Daughters of the Confederacy obscured and downplayed the role of Black-Americans in establishing Decoration Day, which later evolved into Memorial Day. This intentional distortion of history reinforced the Confederate Lost Cause narrative and marginalized Black-Americans’ contributions to American history and remembrance.
