    War in Ukraine

    War in Ukraine

    And? Russia has clearly been trying to improve its position (with underwhelming results in the field) prior to the start of any negotiations. Why...

    Syria

    Dem Senators introduce a bill to eliminate the Electoral College

    Dem Senators introduce a bill to eliminate the Electoral College
