Russia has killed thousands in #Ukraine and caused extraordinary damage. Last week, I returned from a humanitarian mission with @UkraineFocus to #Donetsk where war dominates life. Here a Ukrainian fighter, a damaged school, a destroyed market, and people struggling to survive.

The aftermath of a Russian strike on Kyiv. A whole entrance of a residential building is gone. As of now, we don't have information about injured and killed. When Russians say they want peace, remember this image.
⚡️Kyiv is currently under a combined ballistic, Kinzhal and drone attack.

Ordinary Ukrainian cities: Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipro. Ordinary life, and Russian strikes that should never have happened. Every day in Ukraine is marked by large-scale attacks with strike drones, mostly “Shaheds”—it was Iran that taught Russia how to produce such drones. Today,

Watch this and imagine it’s your kid… they will change his or her name and you will never see them again, and they will forget you
Brazenly and on camera, the #Russian's kidnap orphans from the occupied territories of Ukraine and say that it is "for their good." Just imagine if any other country occupied a part of Russia and took out children from there. What would be the reaction of Russia?

This is insane. @EPA is already stretched to the breaking point, with staffing levels largely flat over the decades, and yet now with exponentially more responsibility. A cut of “up to 65%” would flat-out endanger America’s environment and public health.

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health insurance from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.
UPDATE: Numerous sources now ARE reporting problems with the Medicaid payment system, per @ddiamond. More TK

NPR’s @BrianMannADK on his 4th trip to Ukraine with heroic reporting from the dangerous Pokrovsk in the east. We with @UkraineFocus delivered aid there in 2023– safe then. Today, Russia has advanced to city limits. Be safe Brian. 💪 🇺🇸 🇺🇦
Reporting today from Pokrovsk a crucial city in eastern Ukraine under heavy siege by Russia. Spent time with Ukrainian soldiers desperately trying to hold on and civilians evacuating while artillery thundered. The story soon on NPR.

Zaporizhia city. This is how your life looks like when your neighbor is Russia. This is a missile attack on a private clinic. The attack killed 11 civilians - clinic staff. Why? Just because the Russians can do it and no one can stop them

This is the correct decision and should have been made many months ago.
Breaking News: President Biden authorized the first use of U.S.-supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine for strikes inside Russia, U.S. officials said. His decision is a major change in U.S. policy.

Happy #VeteransDay to all who served and continue to protect our country. My grandfather SSG Bill Jackson gave his life in WWII. His service and sacrifice inspired my own time in uniform. 🇺🇸
