Crypto Becomes Lifeline for Russian Emigrés Opposing Putin’s War in Ukraine
Now that DeSantis signed Disney bill, who assumes all that bond debt?
Inept 'People's Convoy' chased out of Bay Area by egg-throwing kids
The dreams of the “People’s Convoy” quickly died in the Bay Area after a critical tactical error: turning onto a street with a Safeway and a group of bored kids.
The trucker convoy, which aimed to emulate the disruptive Canadian protests against COVID-19 restrictions, has failed spectacularly at every turn. During a few weeks of driving around Washington, D.C., the convoy was held up by a single bicyclist, and some convoy members said they were having difficulty finding places for bathroom breaks and, as a result, were forced to urinate in their pants.
Shanghai: Green fences baffle locked down residents
Gotta admit that I’m glad Emmanuel Macron won. Yeah, the guy’s a tool, but a Le Pen victory is too abhorrent to contemplate.
Putin Abandons Hopes of Peace Deal
Vladimir Putin has lost interest in diplomatic efforts to end his war with Ukraine and instead appears set on seizing as much Ukrainian territory as possible.
Putin, who was seriously considering a peace deal with Ukraine after Russia suffered battlefield setbacks last month, has told people involved in trying to end the conflict that he sees no prospects for a settlement.
‘I Don’t Recall’: MTG’s Memory Under Oath Seems Pretty Terrible
Confronted with unmistakable evidence in the form of screenshots, reports and video clips of her own remarks, all Greene could really claim in her defense, for the most part, was what appeared to be a pretty serious case of amnesia.

Police Say Mike Lee Tried to Cover Up His Actions
Police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2020, accused Sen. Mike Lee of lying about his reasons for opposing a full investigation into the events leading up to the attack.
The officers allege newly revealed text messages detailing Lee’s efforts to help former President Donald Trump reverse his 2020 election loss suggest he was trying to cover up his involvement.
Warren Calls McCarthy a ‘Liar’ and ‘Traitor’
Sen. Elizabeth Warren is slamming Rep. Kevin McCarthy as a ‘liar and a traitor’ over recordings that show the House Republican leader — despite his denials — placing responsibility on then-President Donald Trump for the Capitol riot and suggesting Trump should resign.
It’s unusually strong language to use against the House Republican leader, who is in line to become speaker — second in presidential succession — if Republicans win control of the House in the November elections.
It would mean a lot more coming from a Republican.
Russian forces are proving ruthless in Ukraine. There is evidence virtually every day of WW2-level war crimes here. Please don’t turn your gaze away.

Local Election Chief Threatened by GOP Leader
A local Republican Party leader in North Carolina threatened to get a county elections director fired or have her pay cut unless she helped him gain illegal access to voting equipment.
The party official, William Keith Senter, sought evidence to support false conspiracy theories alleging the 2020 election was rigged against former U.S. President Donald Trump.
