Ukraine taking out Russian bot farms: Russian propaganda machine severely hampered before US midterms; GOP candidates losing messaging support system across social platforms; Elon losing millions of "subscribers" before next lockup period expires, Q3 earnings. Delicious.

72 out of 260 days. Mike Johnson's Congress has been in session for only 72 days in 2026. Because the GOP refuses to do the job their voters elected them to do. While they cower and crater before Trump. And while they're paid for failing to work, millions struggle 24/7 to stay afloat.
