FYI Petfinder has recently changed policies for searches on out of town pets, which is drastically shifting the abilities of small rescues in Texas to move dogs out of Texas to adopters in other parts of the country. If you've adopted from a small rescue, please amplify their rescue work.

Tonight marks a milestone for all of us at the PBS News Hour. On this day 50 years ago, we aired our first broadcast. The show had a different name, but the same mission to deliver thoughtful & trustworthy journalism. Half a century later, we're still at it & guided by the same principles & mission.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.
Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.
The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

Good morning readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
Usyk became a 3-time world boxing champion last week. These wins lift spirits but also work as soft power by creating a strong image of Ukraine.

Don’t push the horses.
Boxing as a Ukrainian cultural export: it has long been Ukraine’s calling card. Ukraine’s Maik Taison (yes, his real name) wants to follow the steps of global heavyweight champ Oleksandr Usyk.
