Amid US concern over unusual mvmts by Ru troops on Ukr border SOS Blinken left Mon on a trip to Eu where US is looking to consolidate a position among allies at a summit with NATO FMs. SOS will then go to Sweden for a mtg of the Org for Sec and Coop in Eu
washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Admin officials are trying to craft an approach that neither appeases Ru nor provokes significant escalation, which is harder now than it was nearly eight years ago, when Moscow annexed Crimea and fueled a separatist war in Ukraine’s east that has left more than 13K people dead
The Russian and Ukrainian militaries are more advanced, the West remains divided on how tough to be on Moscow, and Putin has grown increasingly bold about pressing Russia’s claims on Ukraine.
“When you say things like, ‘Ukraine does not now and has never had a right to exist as a sovereign state, there is no such thing as the Ukrainian people,’ where has rhetoric like that led in the past? It has pretty consistently been a prelude to conflict.”

I guess just plain lying is part of the GOP plank

Democrats and Iron Dome funding
McCarthy mentioned Israel's Iron Dome aerial defense system, then told a Democrat that "your party actually defunded that."

Facts First:
cnn.com/2021/11/20/pol…
This is false. Democrats did not defund Iron Dome; in September, the Democratic-controlled House approved $1 billion in funding for Iron Dome in an overwhelming and bipartisan 420-9 vote.
Democrats and energy

Blaming Dems for high gas prices, McCarthy claimed that they "banned oil and gas."

Facts First: Neither of these claims is true. It's obviously not true that Democrats completely banned oil and gas.

So convinced that the hackers were able to rig the satellite Ezra Cohen asked the US Embassy in Rome to deploy its defense attaché down to Salerno to interrogate hacker Arturo D’Elia and his Antonio Rossi, who are serving time for hacking into an Italian military supply company
Did Ezra Cohen have authority to order the US Embassy/State Department (@mikepompeo did you know?) to break into a prison to interrogate hackers?

His lawyer says he is sure that the Americans were hoping to convince his client that in fact he had somehow inadvertently triggered
the voting machine results and that if he would just admit that it might have happened, they’d leave him alone

What more proof is needed for the DOJ to bring treason charges against the Trump administration?
