“The Biden administration announced it will sanction dozens of Russian officials and entities, expel 10 diplomats from the U.S., and set new restrictions on buying sovereign debt in response to the massive SolarWinds hack of federal agencies and interference in the 2020 election,” Axios reports. “The sweeping acts of retaliation are aimed at imposing heavy economic costs on Russia, after years of sanctions that have failed to deter an increasingly aggressive and authoritarian President Vladimir Putin.” New York Times: “It is unclear whether this set of actions will prove sufficient to deter Russia from further hacking, influence operations or efforts to threaten European countries.”

    New York Times: “Running under the banner of Donald Trump’s populist political movement, Bernie Moreno, the Republican challenging Senator Sherrod Brown, humbly calls himself a “car guy from Cleveland” and recounts the modest circumstances of his childhood, when his immigrant family started over from scratch in the United States.” Said Moreno: “We came here with absolutely nothing — we came here legally — but we came here, nine of us in a two-bedroom apartment.” “But there is much more that Mr.

  • Every Trump 'Prediction' About Biden Was Wrong
    Crooks and Liars, Saturday - 05/11/2024 - 09:30 PM

    Donald Trump predicts that if President Joe Biden is reelected in 2024, the result will be a bloodbath, World War III, "and everything else”—presumably meaning the basic human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, and mass hysteria. This all sounds pretty bad. Except, this isn't the first time Trump made this kind of prediction.
