When the #SDF liberated Raqqa, the shaping was done largely with US air power. When it came to hunting #Daesh in the dense city, @USMC M777 gun crews provided the fire support. Russians in #Donetsk & #Kherson are about to enter hell. Round-the-clock, brutal and terrifying.
With counter-battery radars, the Ukrainian gunners can immediately hit any Russian artillery that fires. RF rocket and gun crews will be wiped out unless they simply refuse orders to fire. In the first Russian invasion the cowardly Russian gunners fired from amid civilian homes
in Donetsk and the Ukrainians did not return fire for fear of killing civilians. But with the accurate US artillery rounds they can put the shot right on the Russian artillery. Civilians in Donetsk & Kherson should run if there is a Russian gun or rocket system nearby.

1. Was the conspiracy to overturn Roe a long term RICO enterprise that relied on judges committing perjury in official Senate proceedings? Did Leonard Leo act as Koch's and #45's buffer to make sure the judges would act to advance the conspiracy to overturn Roe
2. by allowing #45 to appoint them after the buffer obtained their agreement to overturn Roe in exchange for their life-time appointment on SCOTUS so they could they then say they never discussed their promise to overturn Roe with #45? Was the crime of "corruptly influencing an

1. @LeaderMcConnell's reaction when given the opportunity to take a victory lap for packing the Court and ending legal abortion in the US, was evidence that he has gone from possibly taking the Senate and almost certainly taking the House to giving Biden a Manchin/Sinema proof
2. Senate majority and control of the House to insure that, by this time next year, @joeBiden will be able to appoint four new justices, many new circuit judges in the packed 5th and 10th circuits and overrule every case the Roberts Court wrote to give power to the minority
3. right wing extremists. I would think McConnell's Kochmachine blank check is also a thing of the past. I got the feeling that he thought he could get the court to change the majority opinion to not overrule Roe because without it as the red meat for the evangelicals they may

1. Alito's first draft was like an opening draft of a settlement agreement when the attorney who drafts it is a total jerk. He filled it with far-right fever dreams in hopes that all four members of his majority would buy in. I'm guessing Kavanagh and perhaps even Gorsuch balked,
2. so one of the extremists like Thomas/Jinni or Alito leaked it to try to extort party-line discipline. Fact that the GQP Senate conspirators are all lining up on the leak tells me they may have been in on it. If they were, I think Roberts could hold them in criminal contempt.
3. And the copy that was leaked was likely one of eight stapled copies sent to the justices, not photo copy. I've done questioned document work. All Roberts needs to do is direct each justice to bring their copy to be examined. If he wants to find the culprit, it should be

1. As a student of propaganda this one is fascinating.

Exclusive: Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows politi.co/3kBd26K via @politico
2. First, if Roberts was in the majority he would likely have written the opinion. Why leak it?

First, this will likely move the Democrats into a better position to pick up in the Senate and IMO hold the House. So I could imagine a GOP strategist realizing that and trying to
3. dull the outrage. For a progressive, I can imagine that it could be a signal to @JoeBiden @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer to pass a law to moot the case. It would be great theater to watch people like Joe Manchin, Sinema and Susan Collins twist themselves in knots to justify the

He's a retired Rear Admiral, and likely still subject to military discipline. If he was part of an attempt to overthrow the country he may be looking at a loss of his pension and benefits under the Hiss Act that can take his pension away for lying to a congressional committee.
And if the tug-o-war the Pentagon has with civil courts results in Ronnie being brought before a military courts martial rather than a civilian criminal proceeding he gets an added bonus put on the table: The death penalty. law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10…
He had a absolute duty to report the sedition and I don't see he can safety blow off the @January6thCmte request that they should seriously consider moving to a subpoena and put the big one on the table.

Pelosi Expected to Meet With Polish President
Speaker Nancy Pelosi is set to meet with President Andrzej Duda on Monday, a day after she vowed to back Ukraine “until victory is won.” The Senate this week is expected to take up further aid for Ukraine.
After a secret visit to Kyiv and a three-hour meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky, Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday pledged broad economic military and humanitarian support for Ukraine’s government, saying the United States would stand with its ally until Russia was defeated.
Drawing parallels with the American Revolution, the comments by Ms. Pelosi — who led a small delegation of Democratic lawmakers to Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, on Saturday — reflected the remarkable evolution of American policy toward Ukraine’s struggle against Russian aggression,
