Two months after Gen. Drapaty took command, Ukraine says its forces are regaining ground through drone-heavy warfare, decentralized command and younger combat leaders. His goal: build a modern army designed not just to survive this war, but to deter the next one. www.kyivpost.com/post/86247

Since Mykhailo Drapaty has taken over Ukraine’s military, Russia has been hit with counteroffensives and heavy losses, losing more ground than it has gained.

The details of the Tate extradition case are even worse than I expected. Selling sexual content involving a child on WhatsApp. Extreme porn involving a horse and an eel. Human trafficking, isolation, and violence against women and kids. Just awful, weird shit. Lock them away and throw away the key.

Every member of the Trump family and the administration with a relationship to Andrew Tate should be thoroughly investigated, given everything we know about these scumbags. Yes, that includes Barron Trump — his BFF and dating advice buddy.

In no other era of American politics would someone as horrifically corrupt and as bad at this as Ken Paxton rise to become a major Senate candidate. Trump has truly ruined the Republican Party for a generation or more, and hopefully it'll cost them control of Texas for a long, long time.
