@ukraine Yet again demonstrating Russia's incompetence in training (of troops), equipment maintenance, and such. Revealing Ukrainian innovation, resilience, and persistence.

Near 17,000 nursing home patients in Virginia utilize Medicaid....

@HelenBranswell And it will kill children especially. First time mothers hearing the "whooping cough" of pertussis will freak out and want to know what "we" are going to do about it...

Ran down to the local BBQ place; had a bloody Mary and order a BLT with baked beans. Now, back into the AC and a relax before nap.

@HelenBranswell What is fearful to me, is that infant/child mortality won't be a crisis in the public's mind for a few years; into the next administration.

Excellent explainer on the Ukrainian operation. In one guy's opinion, and I am no expert, Russia has failed for years to invest in training, maintenance, and new technologies as mentioned by the speaker where the inability to build strategic capable bombers exists. Further, he mentions that there may be similar operations in place for other targets AND that Ukraine remains committed to not attacking civilian sectors. Last, that the Putin-Trump relationship is a little bit of a wild card. Trump's desires vs. putting in the work is an issue.
