• Russia opened a criminal case against Facebook’s parent Meta Platforms on Friday after the social network changed its hate speech rules to allow users to call for “death to the Russian invaders” in the context of the war with Ukraine.
• It was not immediately clear what the consequences of the criminal case might be.
• Two weeks into Russia’s war in Ukraine, a Meta spokesperson said on Thursday the company had temporarily eased its rules for political speech, allowing posts such as “death to the Russian invaders,” although it would not allow calls for violence against Russian civilians.

While we are constantly diverted with multiple crises, our attention is easily distracted from what is important in the short term. The government stated this week that our annual inflation rate is 7.9%. But everyone knows this is not true.

The price of diesel yesterday hit an all time high of $5.135 per gallon. The cost of diesel has increased 32.2% in the past month which means an annual inflation rate of 387%. Transportation costs translate into higher food prices but petroleum products actually impact every part of the supply chain. The people who were led down the primrose path that they deserved higher wages are no paying a high price for their ignorance.

But most people know this. We are headed into a French Revolution.

I understand that there is some leeway in the above projections. They have left out any consequences of crime and fear based actions. Mental illness and addicts both will have an impact once medications and drugs are not available. One fact is assured: the people who caused this will be sitting safely in their bunkers.

One year ago, I signed the American Rescue Plan into law to get our country on the road to recovery: This landmark legislation delivered much-needed relief to working families, got shots in arms, and was only possible because of the hard work this team put in to win back the White House and flip the Senate.

I know we’ll be able to accomplish even more over the next few years with a bigger team of Democrats fighting by Kamala’s and my side — and the DNC is crucial to that effort.

Can I count on you to chip in $7 to the DNC today? Anything you’re able to pitch in will help elect Democrats up and down the ballot who are committed to building on the progress we’ve made so far.

The World Health Organization advised Ukraine to destroy high-threat pathogens housed in the country’s public health laboratories to prevent “any potential spills” that would spread disease among the population, the agency told Reuters on Thursday.

Biosecurity experts say Russia’s movement of troops into Ukraine and bombardment of its cities have raised the risk of an escape of disease-causing pathogens, should any of those facilities be damaged.

Like many other countries, Ukraine has public health laboratories researching how to mitigate the threats of dangerous diseases affecting both animals and humans including, most recently, COVID-19. Its labs have received support from the United States, the European Union and the WHO.
