Day 455: war diaries w/Former Advisor to Ukraine President, Intel Officer @arestovych & #Feygin

There is a lot of pro-Putin bias in the Western world. We aim to dispel this “macho” propaganda and reveal true colors of his regime: murder, intimidation, industrialized kleptocracy and well-funded russian fascism propaganda machines. We were born in Russia, we have lost friends to this murderer… we see how he “zombifies” most and intimidates and beats down the rest. We also know where his weak spots are and what atrocities his regime is committing on a daily basis. Message from the source channel owner.

Remarks as Prepared for Delivery by First Lady Jill Biden at the Reagan Institute Summit on Education

Washington, D.C. Thank you, Fred. And thank you for the warm welcome at this conference. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know you through our work with the White House Historical Association—and it’s wonderful to see you again. I’m glad to be back with the Reagan Institute today.

Statement from White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on South Carolina’s Abortion Ban

Today in South Carolina, Governor McMaster signed an extreme and dangerous abortion ban into law. If allowed to stand, South Carolina’s ban, like more than a dozen other bans currently in effect, will criminalize health care providers and cause delays and denials of health and life-saving care. With the passage of abortion bans in states like Florida and North Carolina earlier this year, Republican officials are dismantling women’s rights across the South, putting their health and lives in jeopardy.  South Carolina’s ban will cut off access to abortion for women in the state and those across the entire region for…
