Republicans make the dumbest promises. DOGE checks. Tariff rebates. $5K checks, only if they win. Democrats are now promising to lower home insurance costs by 20%, and Republicans have been in power all these years, and Floridians have seen premiums triple or more in the past 20 or so years.

Yesterday, at the Valdai Club, Putin lied as usual. He claimed that Russia took control of 1,301 sq km in the "SМO" zone during September. In reality, Russian forces expanded the occupied zone by 66 km² in September. Year-over-year pacing continues to slow down.
