just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

Beekeepers across the country are sounding the alarm as honey bee populations are dwindling at an unprecedented rate, a trend that could impact Americans' wallets at the grocery checkout line.

U.S. honeybee deaths soar, and grocery store bills could take the hit

Four of Kentucky’s congressional districts are in the top 100 for the largest share of people covered by Medicaid. All are in the top 200.

Kentuckians need our representatives to prioritize the health care of their constituents.

And let’s not forget—Hal Rogers has repeatedly voted to cut Medicaid, even though more than 40% of his district relies on it to survive. He’s not looking out for the people of Eastern Kentucky, just his own career. Time for new leadership that actually cares. #RetireHal

Hal Rogers has been in Congress since 1981—long enough. The ‘King of Pork’ has spent decades funneling money but has done little to build a future for Eastern Kentucky. Just like McConnell, it’s time for him to retire. KY deserves fresh leadership, not career politicians. #RetireHal #VoteBlue

Ukraine resolution at the UN called Russia an aggressor and demands the full withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders.

The United States, Israel, and Russia voted against it.

Every free democratic country around the globe voted in favour. #EndImpunity
