Ukrainians again had no advance warning as ballistic missiles were raining down as Starlink continues to be restricted. And the U.S. has not delivered Patriot interceptors that Europe has paid for. Is anyone in Congress home? Are they ok with helping Russia kill Ukrainians?

Voter roll purges are necessary to remove people who have passed away, moved or otherwise become ineligible to vote. But sometimes purges can erroneously include thousands of eligible voters. As the Trump administration ramps up its attacks on voting, make sure you know your registration status:

Why does the Trump DOJ continue to hide the unredacted Epstein Files? Todd Blanche won’t even cooperate with the New Mexico Attorney General @nmdoj.bsky.social
