Looking back on Putin’s tactics, it has always relied on the nuclear weapon saber rattling being a distraction from how fragile everything else he had, was.

The DOJ recruited criminal prosecutors and an FBI official to monitor polls in Arizona, according to documents we obtained. This major change from long-standing election monitoring practices is concerning. We will continue to investigate and hold the Trump-Vance admin accountable.

DOJ Is Recruiting Prosecutors to Monitor Polling Places
The departure from long-standing practice “carries the real risk that election interference and voter intimidation will follow,” a former department official said.

Note: Vance’s remarks, mentioned here, did *not* go over well w/Kansas Methodists. At the time, Hamilton’s own bishop issued a statement defending the pastor and condemning the VP’s comments. Then 120 UMC pastors in Kansas did the same in a letter. Read more here: religionnews.com/2026/09/23/h...

There are a lot of details in here about Zuck releasing a half-baked product, but one thing that really stands out is just how weird these folks are. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...
Meta’s A.I. leaders also incorporated OpenClaw into their own lives. Mr. Friedman hooked his agent up to cameras in his house, where it would instruct him to do things like drink water to stay hydrated.
“It sent me a snapshot frame of me drinking a bottle of water and said, ‘Good job,’” Mr. Friedman said at a recent tech conference.
In another instance, while talking to his agent about ways to get better sleep, OpenClaw took over Mr. Friedman’s self-driving Tesla and redirected him to a grocery store to pick up magnesium pills. At Meta’s annual developer conference last month, Mr. Zuckerberg said he had connected his agent to cameras in his martial arts gym so that it could critique his fighting form.
Yet there were safety concerns. Agents could sometimes go rogue or take over software apps. In February, one agent took over the work computer of a Meta safety researcher, deleting her emails uncontrollably.
“I couldn’t stop it from my phone,” Summer Yue, the researcher, wrote on social media. “I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb.”

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

There's been no switching sides at all. There's only been momentary fig leaves placed back over the naked Russophilia when it's politically expedient, like at global summits, or when he needs something from congressional Republicans. Otherwise, it's been all Putin from the beginning, since way back.
