Putin emerged from the Helsinki summit with Trump smirking like the cat that swallowed the canary.

There was no such grin on Putin’s lips after meeting with Biden. His manner was subdued and far from triumphant. He attacked US but not Biden personally. https://t.co/OL7t6PLcIj

Biden also gave Putin a list of 16 critical infrastructure targets that we consider “off limits” in the cyber arena, with the promise that the United States would respond if tested.

Manchin is on board with early voting standards, ending gerrymandering.
BUT he wants voter ID mandate and opposes universal mail voting and public financing.
AND he's not budging on filibuster — he thinks this could get 60. https://t.co/ttoj1eCQ4g
We obtained leaked Zoom of Sen. Manchin’e call with billionaire donors this week. Manchin appeared to ask the Wall St executives to use job offers to retiring GOP senators to preserve the filibuster via support for the Jan. 6 commission. https://t.co/RnJJnukeeO

Dominic Cummings telling us that Boris Johnson think Matt Hancock is hopeless is just the beginning. Strap in everyone. His whistleblowing has just begun. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

"Unlike other PMs, this one has a clear plan to leave at the latest a couple of years after the next election, he wants to make money and have fun not ‘go on and on’."
