Congratulations to the Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros on reaching the World Series. I didn’t like the Phillies after they eliminated the St. Louis Cardinals, but I’m coming around to their team spirit.

Joining the great Erica Hill in just a few minutes on the latest in Ukraine.

As I’ve been saying since the start of this war, the key difference is leadership, especially the relatively new Ukrainian professional NCO corps. Imagine thousands of Yuriy Gudymenko compared to the “elected” conscript sergeants of the Russian Army

These soldiers won the lotto! Of the 200,000 mobilized, these 3 got the sleeping bag/month-of-ration-sausage 1st prize!

I’m confused.

Media: mobilized RU conscripts haven’t been trained, don’t have equipment! (No change from weeks ago).

Media: RU building tank ditch in Donetsk! (Google “Maginot/Siegfried line.” Didn’t work then, won’t work now in time of drones/HIMARS).

What a magnificent and provocative story. Everyone needs to watch this narrative of a critical decisive point in our nation’s history. Well done Soledad O'Brien and your team at Peacock

McConnell is breaking with McCarthy on Ukraine because - as bad as he is - he knows McCarthy is just tossing out stupid political talking points for an illiterate base AND he has no understanding of what the Ukrainian fight means for the future of sovereign democracies.

No surprising. Likely more about Russia & Saudi Arabia to come.

In the Ilyichevsk morgue of Mariupol, 87,000 people were registered dead, another 27,000 are unidentified.
Hey, russians, do you understand what a heinous #WarCrimes your army committed in this Ukrainian city?
Are you aware that your country will have to answer for this?

Great action by DoD on protecting reproductive rights for service members and their families. Well done Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III Department of Defense 🇺🇸
