Awful news. Olena Hubanova and Yevhen Karmazin, Ukrainian journalists working for TV channel Freedom, were killed in a Russian Lancet drone attack in Kramatorsk, according to the city’s mayor and local media reports. This makes three deaths of journalists in eastern Ukraine just this month.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time. All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner." It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

Yes, AIPAC. I do support human rights. Thanks for noticing!

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

This is good advice and very easy to do. On an iPhone, go to Settings, Face ID and Passcode, then turn off Face ID to unlock your phone. Then do the same to turn it back on again after you’ve left.
