Breaking: US Senator from Connecticut Chris Murphy says, there are now 60 votes in the Senate behind supporting aid to Ukraine. This means 9 Republican senators have chosen to defy Trump’s “Putin first” policy.

(Obviously, any bill would have to go through the House as well, but at least there is now FINALLY some progress)

It's ridiculous how much attention is given to those complaining about restrictions that haven't existed for over 2 years.

Meanwhile, complete silence about excluding disabled and higher risk people from most of society indefinitely due to the current lack of COVID protections.

There are multiple American journalists imprisoned in Russia for carrying out the real job of being a journalist. And while they are wrongfully detained on decades long prison sentences, Tucker Carlson offers The Kremlin to interview Vladimir Putin, ask the questions Putin wants to hear, and branding this as “journalism” to the American people.

And Elon Musk is hosting it, trying to make money on Putin’s propaganda.

I really hope these two shameless grifters experience a serious case of karma.
