for some reason I just recalled this spectacularly inept piece of work
Yeah we know your scandalous views on Shakespeare
Skyla, easily overwhelmed by literature
inconvenient for one side's midterms get-out-the-vote operation
Republican US Rep Brian Fitzgerald tweets that he will introduce a bill to block purchases of Russian oil. Don Bacon (R-Neb) tweets that he will co-sponsor. Obviously this won’t happen during campaigning recess (and Trump could veto anyway) but interesting push-back on Trump.
It's pretty well written but the guy isn't exactly loveable IMHO
Page 437. He's finally a Congressman
This is beyond what I thought possible. If a Democrat attack ad has set out this scenario, we would have scoffed at it
Russia's ally Iran has so thoroughly achieved what it set out to do against the USA that it has forced the USA to make a massive concession to Russia in its fight against Ukraine. I'm struggling to process how embarrassing this is. It's almost incomprehensible. Imagine if Biden, etc etc etc...

I think I’d find this stuff more believable if anyone ever promoted stuff as good for growth that they didn’t want to do anyway.
What was it about?
Derision is impartial. There's nothing subjective about seeing a man being a ludicrous hypocrite
This is excellent on how AI is changing think tank research.
Nick Robinson can barely disguise his derision for the pro Trump economist who's volunteered to defend this ridiculous concession to Putin on diesel
Ukraine responds to Trump’s deal with Putin by striking russian fuel export terminal in Rostov.

Great piece
“The thing that I’m most curious about is: where is the diesel going to come from?” asked Michelle Brouhard, head of policy and geopolitical risk at Kpler. “Russia doesn’t have an export problem. It’s got a refinery problem.” 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
"A senior Ukrainian official said Kyiv would continue its long-range drone strikes on Russia’s energy facilities. “We will burn [Russian] refineries,” the official said"
