This entire Donald Trump authoritarian clown show could have been stopped at any point and still can if only 30 or so Republicans in Congress actually cared about America over their own political ambitions.

The most corrupt administration in the history of the US by far. You could add up all instances of corruption by every other admin in US history and it will not equal the amount of corruption perpetrated by this one in less than 2 years.

18 billion rubles from the budget will be allocated to a project to extend Putin's life.
 
The Russian government has allocated 17.954 billion rubles in the 2027-2029 budget for the implementation of the national project "New Health-Saving Technologies," the goals of which include the development of innovative drugs, biomedical technologies, and longevity-extending technologies.

The project, which  The Wall Street Journal reports is linked to efforts to prolong the life of 73-year-old Vladimir Putin, will be one of the few state medical projects protected from funding cuts.
