Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election.

This may be the most dangerous development of all. It will give Trump fake legal pretext to reject Nov election results. American democracy has like 9 months left.

Modi's mystique in India might be starting to break. His approval on Morning Consult is under 70% for the first time in who knows how long. Pre-Covid maybe?
Yesterday upwards of 300 million people across India held a national strike.

Numerous unions and farmers' groups flooded the streets, shutting down large segments of the economy.

One of the key demands was a withdrawal from the trade deal struck with the Trump administration.

Malinowski faced very heavy spending against him from AIPAC, after offering some mild criticism of Israel.

In his statement, he calls AIPAC a "pro-Trump billionaire-funded organization" and pledges to oppose any candidate AIPAC may support in the upcoming June primary.
