Message for U.S. Citizens: Elimination of “Residence Abroad” Exception to Dual Citizen Departure [Ukrainian-Americans no longer allowed to leave]
US Department of State ^ | June 4th, 2024 | U.S. Embassy Kyiv

Excerpt:
Ukrainian law does not recognize dual citizenship. U.S.-Ukrainian dual citizens are therefore treated solely as Ukrainian citizens while in Ukraine and are subject to the rights and obligations of Ukrainian citizens. Under Ukraine’s martial law, men between the ages of 18 and 60 are not permitted to leave the country. Previously, dual U.S.-Ukrainian citizens in this group could enter and then depart Ukraine if they had deregistered their Ukrainian residency and registered their U.S. residency. According to our information, this exception was revoked as of June 1.
The U.S. Embassy is limited in our ability to influence Ukrainian law, including the application of martial law and the mobilization law to Ukrainian citizens. If you are in Ukraine and cannot leave the country, shelter in place and obey all local orders. If you are not currently in Ukraine, we strongly recommend against all travel to Ukraine by U.S. citizen males aged 18 to 60 who also have Ukrainian citizenship or a claim to Ukrainian citizenship and who do not wish to stay in Ukraine indefinitely. There is an extremely high risk you will not be allowed to depart, even with a U.S. passport.

Hearing Wrap Up: Dr. Fauci Held Publicly Accountable by Select Subcommittee
oversight.house.gov ^ | Jun 4, 2024 | House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic
In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Hearing Wrap Up: Dr. Fauci Held Publicly Accountable by Select Subcommittee, ransomnote wrote:
Until now, I didn't know sewer scum could talk, let alone testify at an Oversight Committee. The DOJ under Biden will do nothing, but it lays the groundwork for Trump's DOJ to take matters further. Just as well, as the rest of Fauci's crimes likely involve classified information.
For me, the following excerpt is the most infuriating hi-light from the hearing.
Rep. Cloud: “This is one of the things that’s really troubling to the American people, because they look at their lives being destroyed, and there is no one to hold accountable because these systems of accountability have become systems of plausible deniability. And so your name is on every single grant, but yet, you absolve yourself of any sort of responsibility by saying, ‘well, you know, it goes to this committee that’s you know, that has a number of people on it. And they’re approved in block.’ And so there’s no accountability for anything, any of the taxpayer dollars that are going forth.”
Dr. Fauci: “I disagree with you, Congressman, because if you look at the number of grants, we fund thousands of grants. It would be physically impossible for me to go through every single grant in a detailed way to understand that. That is true, not only for me, but for virtually every institute at the NIH.”
Rep. Cloud: “Then why does your signature go on it?”
Dr. Fauci: “Because somebody has to sign off on it and you trust the expertise, and the competence, of the staff that go over it…”
