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.

When the “censorship industrial complex” myth was just getting started, in Fall 2022, I got a public records request from the AG’s office of Missouri looking for all my emails related to my team’s election rumor research. The Missouri AG at that time? Eric Schmitt. What a tool.
