I live in Baltimore. In the last week three people were shot and killed, seven more wounded. Every one of these shootings is a tragedy and a failure of our government to pass meaning reforms.
I don’t do performative or selective outrage. Not today.

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.
Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

The audio leak of Steve Witkoff advising the Russian side what to do, what to say and how to progress is nothing more but collaboration with Moscow, probably even more. It further confirms what I was writing on Sunday when the US Senators were actively rejected this.
