Ukrainian drone strikes on Yandex data centers in Russia did not cut “Russian bots” on social media by 50%. That fast-spreading rumor is misinformation. It’s based on a misleading, misread chart. A traceable series of high-profile accounts spread it, some with financial motivations to push junk.

Literally the only time I ever hear the name Shane Gillis is when he did something shitty on SNL over the weekend. Maybe SNL could stop inviting him to host and he could keep selling comedy specials to Cybertruck owners or whatever his deal is and the rest of us could forget he exists entirely?

This is a great reminder that, when the FBI raided Trump’s home, it found evidence of an actual crime: hundreds of highly classified documents that Trump stole when he left office.

So army regulation 190-55 states clearly that no recording device may be present at an execution, and no person under age 18 may witness it. The constitution bans cruel and inhumane punishment. What Hegseth wants to do is clearly illegal. Bureau of Prisons ban public executions. 1/2

I'm a little unclear whether Trump's Russia diesel deal is even real. Russia's refining capacity has been devastated by Ukrainian drone strikes. Do they really have any surplus diesel to sell us?

The insanity is just A MONTH AGO the Congress passed a law to impose sanctions on any country buying Russian oil - and Trump turns around and does this. It makes US international relations into a farce that no one can take seriously. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Senate passes sweeping Russia sanctions bill negotiated by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham

The bipartisan legislation, which passed the Senate 86-11, would penalize countries that continue to buy Russian oil, gas and other exports seeking to deprive Putin of revenues fueling the war.

This is an excellent point. When pro-democracy, anti-corruption forces get power, they won't need elaborate new laws to start getting Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, Peter Thiel, and other tech oligarchs out of government. They've almost certainly committed fraud and other already existing crimes.

The Constitution allows it. South Korea has proven it works. If you want to make impeachment viable—and so much else is pointless if you don't—then it can be done by a simple majority adopting a simple rules change: vote on the verdict by secret ballot.

A Democratic Senate Should Adopt Secret Impeachment Ballots on a Priority Basis

Such a change, requiring no constitutional amendment, would free senators to vote their judgment instead of their fears
