Anyone in the world

In a video message to the besieged nation, Zelensky accused the Kremlin of attempting to seize the capital, overthrow the government and install a 'puppet' regime 'like in Donetsk', one of two separatist regions which warmonger Vladimir Putin officially recognised before launching an all-out invasion. 

Since, she has capitalized on the media attention gained from the coverage of her taunting of Caitlin Clark; appearing in Sports Illustrated and signed an NIL deal with Baton Rouge Mercedes Benz, among others. 

Meanwhile residents were pictured surveying the damage to their home, near Kyiv's main airport, after the 10-storey apartment block's windows were blasted out and a two-metre crater filled with rubble formed, showing where the shell had struck before dawn.  

'Until we deal with the systemic issues of gun violence in this country - how easily young people with mental illness can access guns in this country, I'm afraid that this will not be the last summer that we are having this conversation,'  Bottoms told  .

Bottoms, who served as mayor of Atlanta from 2018 to 2022, previously blamed the 50 percent increase in homicides in 2021 on lax gun laws, teenagers having too much free time on their hands and the state lifting its COVID-19.

Reese joined fellow LSU student-athlete Olivia Dunne at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue launch party in Manhattan last month. Both appeared in the magazine. Reese shot in Los Angeles while Dunne was snapped in Puerto Rico.

Keisha Lance Bottoms says a stray bullet nearly hit her nephew after it penetrated his bedroom wall and landed beside his bed in Atlanta - just years after another nephew was tragically shot and killed.

The former mayor also said the pandemic 'left a lot of people battered and bruised, not just physically, but also emotionally,' which led to an increase in personal disputes that could easily be exacerbated by guns.

Besides taxes, GOP lawmakers are taking aim at the White House pledge to further reduce the deficit, pointing at the massive spending measures passed by Democrats during the first two years of Biden's presidency.

'I'm hoping we can change the expectations society has for women. The [comments] I love are those from other women who've struggled with their pregnancy bodies. I've been told it's uplifting and they're glad I'm staying positive!'

Some $670 billion to $1.2 trillion could be raised by removing limits on the payroll taxes that fund Social Security. But that would be a tax increase. The GOP opposes tax hikes, and the increase would also violate Democrat Biden's promise to only raise taxes on those earning more than $400,000.

A pregnant woman has shared some of the 'hilarious' comments that she receives from people about her extra large bump - including one person who joked that her baby was living in 'a loft with WiFi' inside of her belly, and another who wrote that she was carrying a 'whole adult' in there.

As forecasters have warned that Medicare won't be able to pay out its promised benefits in just five years, Biden says that with his proposal, the program will be bolstered for at least another 25 years. 

Brooke said that at her 35-week checkup, she was told that her unborn baby - a boy who was due on March 2 - was measuring right on track at six pounds, four ounces - which is actually smaller than one of her previous pregnancies.  

House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, put out a list of more than $750 billion in possible spending cuts last month. Atop the list was repealing Biden's executive order providing some student debt forgiveness, which would restore roughly $400 billion to federal coffers.

The plan appeared to be underway in the early hours, as explosions sounded before dawn with the city under bombardment from what the defense minister called 'horrific rocket strikes' not seen since 1941.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Pennsylvania is very 'close to Biden's heart' and that the president, who was born in Scranton, sees it as a 'second home' after Delaware, where he served as a senator.

Jim Carter, a director at the conservative America First Policy Institute, said that Congress typically ignores presidential budgets and he expects Biden's plan to be more of a 'liberal messaging document.'
