I also want to say that I am happy that all those detained are home.

So happy for the Americans who got to come home from the prisoner swap. ❤

It’s about time Mr. Whelan got to come home. 6 years in a Russian prison has to be the worst and equal to the prison in North Korea.

This episode should be subtitled ... "The Power of Love!" It was produced like a novel with a dynamic ending. First a Twin Brother who's love never faltered and who clearly adores his twin brother, saying "we're going to let him experience personal agency first!" How adorable & respectful is that!? Along with Mr Gershcovitz family, and the timing of that darling girl who is soon to turn 13 years old. Then Simone Biles who said she didn't know if she would return to the Olympics - clearly her loving family & sweet husband had to be holding her up saying "we believe u can!" This was one of the best news episodes yet. Shame on anyone who calls ABC "fake news" this is news we need to hear, especially now. And President Biden & VP Harris, pulling on other heads of countries heart strings to make it happen! What a BLESSED country we live in to have all of our leaders who care so deeply! Shame on anyone who speaks derogatory of this awesome country we love! Thank u ABC ... well done!!! 🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️

Don’t go to Russia. Plain and simple.

The moral of the story: do not visit Russia unless you are a diolomat. Russian authorities are beneath contempt and all the world should know this

So, the Hamas leader was taken out by Iranians, who are tired of Hamas taking Iranian resources and being wasted in Qatar 🇶🇦 ... when ordinary Iranians lack resources at 🏡 home.

Would not trade place with a person that even typed a message. I would cry much more than I do. May God bless everyone that made the goodness happen.

Great work everyone!! Such a great day!!!

If any Russian citizens feel like going back to visit, please don't!! Your name will be on a list & you WILL be arrested / detained. Do not take the chance!
