Putin meant for this to be a show of strength but anyone who has been paying attention will see it for what it is: an act of desperation.
Time to double down on support for Ukraine and pressure on Russia; and relegate Putin to the ash heap of history alongside his beloved Soviet Union!

Poor Donald. He's so stupid and confused.
He thinks Barack Obama (who was no longer in power) controlled the 2020 election.
And he thinks Joe Biden (who wasn't yet in power) authorized FBI agents to be sent to the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, when DOJ reported to Trump.

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

Good interview in the paper, this. I think Sadiq is right: London 'needs' to be less successful than it is for a bunch of political arguments here in the UK to work, hence the fictions being invented about it:

There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry.
Not because its government doesn’t fix it —
but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost.
That’s the part that sits wrong.

Right up until someone wants to actually see what they are up to. Then you get a door slammed in your face, redactions that cover entire pages, and you get called a "Domestic Terrorist".
