An outright lie by the President of the United States.
Trump: California doesn't have ballot boxes. They send out 38 million ballots, nobody know where they are going and they come back, Democrats get more than Republicans. It is unfair the system, we’re going to fix the system
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Californian voters can vote at polling places on Election Day either by voting machine OR requesting a paper ballot they place in a ballot box
Alternatively, they may vote by mail, returning their ballot in a sealed outer envelope by USPS or using an official ballot drop-box

Trump: “He doesn’t have to stand there and say ‘Putin this, Putin that,’ all negative things. He’s got to say, ‘I want to make peace, I don’t want to fight any longer.’”
Question for MAGA supporters: If Russia invaded America, seized Florida and Georgia, and started bombing the East Coast, would you want Trump to approach Putin with, “I want to make peace. I don’t want to fight”? Would you criticize Trump for saying “negative things” about Russia in that scenario?

American people helped save our people. Humans and human rights come first. We’re truly thankful. We want only strong relations with America, and I really hope we will have them.

Liz Cheney says Trump and Vance have "abandoned all we stand for" after their meeting with President Zelenskyy.
"Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend … Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

One of the Justice Department's highest-ranking spokespeople, Joshua Stueve, has submitted a resignation letter, citing a "hostile and toxic work environment."
"Simply put, I cannot continue to serve in such a hostile and toxic work environment, one where leadership at the highest levels makes clear we are not welcome or valued, much less trusted to do our jobs." nbcnews.com/politics/trump-a…

I can only say this bluntly:
It is not normal to have outbreaks of preventable diseases in wealthy countries.
It is not normal to have children dying from preventable diseases in wealthy countries.
This is the first US measles death in 10 years. There should be none.

This is how contagious measles is. Someone can walk into a room cough or sneeze then walk out of the room. An unvaccinated person can walk into the same empty room two hours later and get infected. It's one of the most contagious diseases in the world.

Elon Musk is pushing an FAA contract for his own company over the objections of the career experts who know what is needed to keep you safe.
He's risking your safety while he lines his own pockets with your money.

❗️Dozens of dignitaries walked out of Russia's speech to the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva in support of Ukraine.
In the hallway, they unfolded Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar flags (today is Day of Resistance to Occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea - on that day in 2014, Crimeans protested against Russian occupation of the peninsula).
Some quotes by participants of the walk-out:
"And we, along with our European and international partners, just walked out of the Human Rights Council as the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister spoke, because we stand with Ukraine and we stand in favour of a just and enduring peace in line with the UN Charter and with international law."
"If we let slide what happened with Ukraine without reacting, without saying to which point that what Russia did is unacceptable, we would open the door to a disintegration of fundamental principles on which the United Nations was founded."
Thankful to our Allies for support!
Meanwhile, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin accused Ukraine of a "flagrant violation of fundamental human rights" and of Russophobia.
