Republican Senator Mike Rounds said Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a call to senators, confirmed the so-called 28-point “peace plan” was actually a Russian wishlist and is “not the administration’s position”. Nor is there any threat to cut off weapons or intelligence to Ukraine.

My column from Monday. For the cost of an incomplete 4,000-bed prison in Elmore, Alabama could have paid for five years of health insurance and peace of mind for 174,000 Alabamians.
But our leaders don’t care. Because Alabama government is not designed to help people. It’s meant to control them.

Alabama can never spend enough money on a prison | Alabama Reflector
State leaders who prioritize punishment and control over the welfare of citizens will never see any money spent on walls and bars as wasted.
