🚨 BREAKING President Zelenskyy handed Biden an award and a letter from the Ukrainian soldier Pavlo, whom he met yesterday in Bakhmut, the frontline city 🇺🇦

Putin "continues to be wrong" and he "cannot possibly win this war," adds President Biden.

We need to provide a better translator for Zelensky , his words are so powerful but a lot of it is lost in translation

May you find something on 2023 that captivates you like Barkley waiting for a treat.

Gibbs wants in on the Whiskers Wednesday action but, while he has magnificent whiskers, you can't see them against all his long lovely white hair.

This says it all

Henrietta Lacks was a poor, Black, young mother diagnosed w cervical cancer in 1951. When her cells were collected w/o consent, scientists saw they multiplied remarkably fast.

“HeLa” cells changed #science. They’re used globally to study viruses, drugs, hormones, genes, diseases & develop vaccines. Lacks passed away at 31 w no recognition.

Rebecca Skloot’s beautiful book about her life & legacy is changing that. Now her statue will replace Robert E. Lee in NC. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/20/us/henrietta-lacks-statue-roanoke-virginia.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare #history

I wonder if President Zelensky's visit to the White House and US Congress today will bring more awareness of the war in Ukraine to all people in the US.

It's striking how absent the war is here for everyday people while every time I talk with people in Germany they tell me how they turned down lights/temperatures etc. to adjust for the difficult winter time, the energy crisis, and to be in solidarity with Ukraine. #Ukraine

Perhaps we shouldn’t spend upwards of $1.7 trillion on a failed F-35 fighter jet program when 94% of public school teachers are forced to spend their own money on school supplies?
