One year ago, Alexei Navalny was murdered because he refused to surrender—to corruption, to tyranny, to the fear that keeps so many silent. He stood for democracy in a nation where speaking truth is a death sentence. He was jailed, beaten, poisoned—and still, he fought on. Putin may have ended Navalny’s life, but he could not erase his defiance. He could not undo the courage Navalny inspired in millions. History does not bend to dictators; it bends to those who dare to change it. In Navalny’s honor, I led the effort to rename the street outside the Russian Ambassador’s residence Alexei Navalny Way—a permanent mark of resistance in the heart of our nation’s capitol—because America must always stand with those who fight for freedom, whether in Russia, in Ukraine, or anywhere tyranny seeks to tighten its grip. Navalny’s story did not end in a prison cell. His fight is now ours—to remember, to honor, and to continue.

«Кто бы мог предположить, что эти шестьсот долларов станут лучшей инвестицией в моей жизни! А тогда я был просто в ярости, что придётся их потратить. С ужасом думаю о том, что мог бы отказаться их платить. А такая мысль была — не из-за размера суммы (хотя это была половина моей месячной зарплаты), а из гордости: почему я должен платить, а остальные нет?» Если хотите узнать про что Алексей пишет, то покупайте его автобиографию «Патриот». Сегодня она вышла во многих странах. Я мечтаю, чтобы эту книгу прочитали как можно больше людей, потому что мне кажется, что каждый узнает об Алексее что-то новое. Посмеется и поплачет. Он был такой классный: сильный и смелый, добрый и веселый. Самый лучший. И самый родной.

⚠️ BREAKING: Deadly Marburg Virus That Kills 9 Has Spread to Belgium, Hospital Visits Banned Following Deaths A major outbreak of the 'eye-bleeding disease' Marburg has potentially reached Europe, with experts warning it could spread globally.
Community note
The headline of the report in the Sun is wrong and misleading. Marburg hasn't "spread" to Belgium. Instead, a contact of a confirmed case in Rwanda travelled to Belgium, but has remained symptom free for 21 days and is no longer a risk to public health. Source: who.int/emergencies/di…
