War Day 551: Return of Crimea, Zelensky Thesis

Politics
There is a lot of pro-Putin bias in the Western world. We aim to dispel this “macho” propaganda and reveal true colors of his regime: murder, intimidation, industrialized kleptocracy and well-funded russian fascism propaganda machines. We were born in Russia, we have lost friends to this murderer… we see how he “zombifies” most and intimidates and beats down the rest. We also know where his weak spots are and what atrocities his regime is committing on a daily basis.

Statement from President Joe Biden on Funding for Fair Electric Vehicle Conversion Funding

Politics
As I’ve said before, under Bidenomics building a clean energy economy can and should provide a win‑win opportunity for auto companies and unionized workers who have anchored the American economy for decades.

This funding will help existing workers keep their jobs and have the first shot to fill new good jobs as the car industry transforms for future…
