This is what I want to see more of. Dems will *often* move on, so they can sell something to viewers/listeners. That's fine in normal times. Abnormal times call for Dems to lean into Republican humiliation, make *them* the story, bear down on them, crush their good standing in the public.
![[Russia is] using their war-making abilities, their intelligence and satellite capabilities to help Iran kill Americans, to help Iran target and kill Americans in the Middle East.
Also on the war-making front, Russia is obviously enjoying seeing the United States burn up lots and lots and lots of missiles and interceptor munitions in the Middle East.
So we'll be less happy and less able to provide those same types of weapons to Ukraine to fight against Russia.
So on the war-fighting side of things for Russia, this is great for them.
This is a win-win.
And meanwhile, Russia's other industry oil and gas is as happy as it's been in a long time because of the huge spike in oil and gas prices all over the world.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d6ho2gbjaourtp2ep625lto3/bafkreidkrzbtqpu4yztstzv3iovhripvie7piisuwnt74muesiqk5zmbda)
![... President Donald Trump called Vladimir Putin and talked to him for an hour [today].
And we only learned about that phone call because the Kremlin told us about it.
The White House didn't announce it.
The Kremlin did.
... Was it while he was playing golf? Was it even in the White House calendar that today was the day Trump was supposed to check in with his boss?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d6ho2gbjaourtp2ep625lto3/bafkreigatjbojfquvhfuryr3xu3owwuwodlw55ltwkd2glwwr553g3yy2e)
