Smith says that while she will ensure the public system doesn't decrease the amount of surgeries under her two tiered private system...
She's not going to require any growth.
This is how you create a private market with a growing population.

I can't believe that even our President has to spell it out, but pressure must be applied to the aggressor, not the victim.

A Russian drone struck a vehicle carrying workers of the Sloviansk Thermal Power Plant in Donetsk region.
Three people were killed.

Ukraine has been under russian drone attacks for most of the night.
Russian cruise missiles are expected to enter our airspace in half an hour, bringing more death and destruction.
Again, we play this deadly lottery while the world watches.

In my day, if you were the attacking force, you planned for 3-to-1 losses — three attackers for every one defender.
Today, with drones reshaping the battlefield, Russia can probably expect something closer to 10-to-1.

Zelenskyy on Russian shadow fleet:
Putin still has financial stability guarantees—much of it right here in Europe. Russian oil tankers freely sail the Baltic, North & Mediterranean Seas. Russia uses over 1,000 in it's shadow fleet.
Each of them is, in fact, a floating wallet for the Kremlin.

In this way, they supported Olympian Vladislav Heraskevich, who was disqualified before the first race of the 2026 Olympics in skeleton
