Rubio is demanding that Russia come clean about what caused a plague lab worker's death in Siberia. Transparency won't arrive -- for reasons more terrifying than simply the Kremlin’s usual tantrum about playing nice in the sandbox with others. saltypolitics.substack.com/p/on-the-sib...

I am the great-granddaughter, granddaughter, and daughter of Soviet dissidents. So believe me when I tell you that with all the righteous fury I can muster: Trump’s ploy is not a strategy for liberating Russian dissidents. It is a strategy for laundering a gift to Putin through the prison gates.

A terrorist attack was foiled at a British airbase housing American bombers used to attack Iran. But who sent these men? Iran has warned that any base used to attack Iran is a legitimate target. But the timing of this plot is extraordinarily convenient — and might have little to do with Iran.

Republicans have given up on winning the war of ideas. Whether it is rigging the system to prevent vote-by-mail or rigging the redistricting process, cheating is the only way they plan to hold on to power. Now, they're rigging the census and hope that the topic is so boring that we just tune out.

Kushner and Witkoff were sucking up to Putin in Moscow yesterday. But the most consequential part of this story is unfolding in European airports, railways, defense factories, computer networks, and beneath the Baltic Sea. And it t reads like something out of a spy novel.

The Russian is even worse than what Witkoff said. "When we all retire, we will have very many stories to remember, and interacting with you will be one of the best and one of the most memorable." Just underscores how even the Russian translator fluffs Putin even more than Witkoff does.
