New primer about the news from the last few hours that the US is getting back to business with Russia. This is not Trump being erratic, it is not about diesel, it is not a small move. It is about the US moving to a more active position of helping Putin. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/this-is-ab...

7 shots fired into an SUV with a 5-year-old child in the back seat as the vehicle was moving away. Markwayne Mullin claims the driver “weaponized” his vehicle. Bullshit! “Weaponized vehicle” has become ICE’s go-to excuse for shooting folks. Where’s the evidence? It’s not in this new footage.

18% of voters pick 52 senators. Democrats won 7 of the last 9 presidential popular votes yet hold just 3 SCOTUS seats. Republicans have a tilted House map and a huge cash advantage, and they STILL want to suppress votes. Imagine having the casino rigged and being afraid to deal the cards.
