There was also that MAL meeting about a year ago. Right before the ceasefire that suddenly wasn’t. Why hasn’t anyone delved deeper into that?

Was that mysterious MAL meeting about a year ago? Right before a ceasefire was in the offing? Then suddenly it wasn’t? Why hasn’t one media source delved deeper into that?

Also, work on getting your Real ID. Especially if you are a woman and changed your name through marriage/divorce. Even if you were married 30 years ago. Still jumping through hoops to get mine in PA. Do everything you can to make sure you’re not turned away at the ballot box!! 🗳️

In Europe…🇪🇺

Andrius Kubilius @andriuskubilius.ec.europa.eu · 2d

All of Europe is under threat. Russian drones can strike Belgium, Netherlands, France and more.

From ships drones can target all coasts of Europe.

All Member States need capabilities to detect drones.

Luckily, my ex is cooperative and sent it. They will make it as difficult as possible to vote. Dems need to get on this NOW.

Please educate voters about real id. Especially women. Finally went to get mine, but was denied because of my expired passport. Understood. Need to prove my change of name by providing my marriage license to prove my name change. It’s been 30 years! (1/2)

Honestly, Dems should pretend to be interested. May be just the thing to reopen the House, swear in a new congresswoman, and get that 218th signature for the Epstein files. If this is what drives republicans to want to work, go for it 😂

In South Dakota…🥛

South Dakota Searchlight @southdakotasearchlight.com · 3d

After the Department of Homeland Security subjected a dairy near the home of Secretary #KristiNoem to an #immigration audit, the farm lost 38 workers.

The dairy's co-owner said "we've turned off the tap, but we’ve done nothing to create a solution as to how we find employees."

Noem's South Dakota neighbors hit with an immigration audit that decimates their workforce • South Dakota Searchlight

Dairy farm audits in South Dakota under the Trump administration’s escalated immigration enforcement efforts have “created unrest."

Russia has been pummeling Ukraine for weeks. Close to 500,000 Ukrainian soldiers and civilians have died since the war started. Glad CNN is finally interested 😕

Wow, they’re taking flooding the zone to a whole new level. Dems need to divide and conquer. It’s the only way to keep up.

The Trump administration wants to mine at the doorstep of the Boundary Waters. Twin Metals, owned by a Chilean mining company, wants to build a copper-nickel sulfide-ore mine immediately upstream of the Boundary Waters.

Anyone using the FAFO on this woman should feel ashamed. She is a human being, regardless of political party, and it sounds like she has her hands full.

justamomm.bsky.social @justamomm.bsky.social · 4d

Not sure why this isn’t a bigger story here in the US.
