In occupied Ukraine, toys like these stuffed with plastic explosives, are left by Russian soldiers.

This is terrorism, sanctioned by the Russian state.

Once Russia is defeated, it must never be able to wage such a war on its peaceful neighbours again.

The Grove and Rufford Hunt aren't even pretending to lay a trail this season. They're blatantly trying to hunt foxes and that means that they lost control of the hounds in this field of cows.

The Grove's new huntsman was convicted of fox hunting last summer but it obviously hasn't put him off.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

"Republicans are trying to do to [Jack] Smith’s investigations what they did to the Russia investigation: They’re trying to recast Trump as the victim."

In today's Morning Shots, we debunk the lies. "Trump is a criminal. He was convicted in one case and remains untried in three others."
