[2] Russia unleashed a devastating barrage of more than 80 missiles Monday morning throughout Ukraine, striking all major cities, including Kiev, an apparent revenge for the attack on a key bridge connecting Crimea to the Russian mainland.
[3] In the nation's capital, at least eight people were killed, and President Zelensky's office was reportedly hit.
[4] Zelensky said that Russia is trying to wipe Ukraine off.
[5] the face of the earth.
[6] National Security Council spokesman John Kirby doubled down this week on President Biden's comments about the world being closer to a nuclear Armageddon than any time since the 60s.
[7] The president was reflecting the very high stakes that they're in play right now, Martha, when you have modern nuclear power and the leader of that modern nuclear power willing to use irresponsible rhetoric the way that Mr. Putin has several times in just the last week or two, as well as the high tensions in Ukraine over just the course of the last few days.
[8] So the president, I think, was accurately reflecting the fact that the stakes are very high right now.
[9] Polish government officials warned citizens to leave the country of Belarus on Monday due to the increasing violence.
[10] Belarus has been a close ally and supporter of Russia's invasion of Ukraine since the war began.
[11] Democratic officials remain soft in their support for a Biden -2024 candidacy.
[12] Michigan Democratic representative, Alyssa Slotkin, called this week for a new generation and new blood in the Democratic Party.
[13] But I have been very vocal, including with my own leadership in the House, that we need a new generation, we need new blood, period, across the Democratic Party, in the House, the House, the House, the country has been saying that.
[14] Ranking House member James Comer claimed Monday that he believes that the president's brother James and son Hunter were involved in criminal activity regarding a Chinese energy company, while Biden was vice president.
[15] We are confident they committed a crime.
[16] So this is very serious.
[17] I'm very disappointed that mainstream media hasn't picked up on this because this is a pretty sure indication that there was criminal activity.
[18] Share prices for PayPal dropped more than 5 % on Monday after a Daily Wire report highlighted the firm's attempt to find users $2 ,500 for spreading misinformation, as well as hate, violence, racial, or other forms of intolerance, discriminatory.
[19] Within one day of the news of the policy change, PayPal claimed that the new guidance was published in error and apologized for the confusion caused.
[20] Two teens who were shot outside New York GOP gubernatorial candidate and Congressman Lee Zeldon's home on Sunday afternoon have been identified.
[21] According to the New York Post, the suspects were known to Suffolk County Police Department where the shooting took place.
[22] Zeldon said on Monday that the incident further highlights the shocking levels of crime plaguing New York State.
[23] And just yesterday, there were other crimes that somebody got stabbed on a New York City subway.
[24] Someone else got slashed in the East Village.
[25] We can recap the amount of crime from the last week, week and a half.
[26] And you'd think that we're recapping the amount of crime around this state over the course of the last year.
[27] And California Governor Gavin Newsom's wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, is set to testify against disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
