This is an absolute travesty, Russ Vought today vacated the case against (and *returned money to*) Townstone Financial, which ran an openly racist radio program to get leads for its mortgage business. Vought calls it DEI-based persecution.

CNN just featured GOP Rep. Malliotakis calmly saying that Zelensky refused to make the deal (a lie!) and that onlyTrump wants peace so when Zel wasn't appreciative enough he had to kick him out of the White House. But she really hopes that a deal can be made.
