Pundits and politicians ought to keep foremost in mind that Trump is sitting in the White House partly because of Putin’s skullduggery.
That’s the original sin of his presidencies, and many in Ukraine and America are bearing its consequences.

Since Michael Shellenberger namechecked me in his latest fundraising appeal for his "Civilization Works" grift, I pulled up his 990. Last year, he pulled in $1.6 million to fight the censorship complex that *he made up* -- double what he got the year before.

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.
Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
