The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech.

Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:

Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

Ukraine’s 92nd Separate Assault Brigade reports Russian forces attempting assaults on horseback near Verbove. Yes, cavalry. The outcome was predictable. Thanks to precise UAV work, Russian troops were stopped and, notably, no horses were harmed.
