Trump has denied disaster relief for Illinois following severe storms in August. Trump approved a request from Indiana for damage resulting from the same storms. One is a "blue state." The other is a "red state." No other president has politicized natural disasters the way that Trump has.

A Russian dissident activist was just issued a sentence of six years in a penal colony on absurd charges of “justifying terrorism.” That happened because we deported him back to Russia. New from Cathy Young:

Russian activist Leonid Melekhin sought refuge in America. His reward was a one-way trip to a penal colony.

She has obviously decided to tamper in US domestic politics on the side of the Republican Party despite being screwed over and sold out by Trump, and should be treated as a foreign Republican operative by Democrats moving forward.

If you’re not from Missouri, you may not know that Eric Schmitt got his start in MAGA politics by suing public schools for mask mandates while their teachers died during a pandemic. The really strange thing? He never sued his own kids’ school for their mask mandate. He’s a piece of Schitt.

She adds, "But Republicans have made it a big attack on you," which is a telling statement. Stated simply: We don't find it newsworthy either, but it's our job to use talking points from one side and parrot them back to the other side. If not, we'll be accused of bias. (Also, my boss is Bari Weiss)
