Perhaps Putin, but not Russia. Europe is rearming, most ferociously in the border states. The economy is cratering. A losing war has been extended. And China's relative power is growing and dwarfing Moscow's. For all that, Putin's tenure will not be long extended, it's end likely more violent.

It's possible we may see the second set of local criminal charges leveled against an ICE officer for actions taken during an enforcement operation. In this case, it's for this incident (video posted by @houstonchronicle.com) of an ICE officer appearing to deliberately run down a fleeing suspect.

This is an important legislative agenda: -term limits -regularizing appointments -ethics reform -shadow docket reform & -a supermajority rule before the Court can invalidate acts of Congress. These are all basic measures to rebuild a more democratic constitutionalism and a more legitimate Court.
