What a night it was in Kyiv.
Missiles. Drones.

A Russian drone has struck a kindergarten in Kharkiv. Children have been injured. A fire broke out. This is not a "military operation"—this is terror, plain and brutal.
As European Democrats, we stand firmly with the people of Ukraine and with every child who deserves safety, not smoke and rubble.

Dan Goldman on Republicans: "When something is so egregiously and shockingly wrong as this, they need to stand up ... that keeps getting lost as we talk about all these court cases. The Republicans have abdicated their job as members of Congress."

ICE has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.

You read that right — SEVEN HUNDRED PERCENT.

Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.
