Solidarity has never mattered more. I thank all countries already offering immediate help to 🇺🇦 through the 🇪🇺Civil Protection Mechanism.
We are also working 24/7 with #Ukraine's neighbours to support them in providing protection for Ukrainian refugees.

Today at Polish Parliament Group on Ukraine @michaldworczyk from PM Office, confirmes that Polish border is open for ALL Ukrainians, even those without a valid ID document.
No COVID certificates, no insurance. Animals are welcome. We prepare for 1-4 million refugees in days.
President Vladimir Putin threatened “consequences you have never faced in your history” for “anyone who tries to interfere with us.” His speech, intended to justify the invasion of Ukraine, seemed to come close to threatening nuclear war. nyti.ms/3JSCj7e
I spent 8 months working on this story about an undercover cop who pretended to be a climate activist for 7 years.
Thanks to everyone who spoke with me and also my amazing editor @tashgrz who didn't even blink when I submitted a nearly 6,000 word draft.

President Trump betrayed his oath of office by seeking to undermine our constitutional process, and he bears responsibility for inciting the insurrection we suffered last week. With a heavy heart, I will vote to impeach President Donald J. Trump.
The word hero does not appropriately describe officer Eugene Goodman. His judgment & heroism may have saved our Republic. I hope @SpeakerPelosi@SenSchumer @WhipClyburn consider him for the Congressional Medal of Honor. It is the least we can do.
Officer Eugene Goodman stopped a mob of white rioters from entering the chambers of the United States Senate.
At this perilous moment in our nation’s history, he was the one person standing between democracy and the rule of tyrants.

Looking again at the video I took of the mob storming the Senate, there’s a moment when the lead rioter looks right for a second, before continuing to follow the officer left, away from the immediate entrance to the Senate. This happened at 2:14.
The officer initially scopes out the door, sees it's not guarded, and tries to block the way. More rioters pour up the stairs after them, and the officer seems to go with a new strategy – he shoves the first rioter, pissing him off, and then leads the whole mob the other way.
Today, FDA issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for the second vaccine for the prevention of #COVID19 caused by SARS-CoV-2. The emergency use authorization allows the vaccine to be distributed in the U.S for use in individuals 18 years and older. fda.gov/news-events/press-an…
