That would be after the low hanging fruit of Moldova. Neighbors Ukraine, Constitutionally neutral, does not admit stationing foreign military troops on its territory, can only be altered by referendum, and not at all during a state of national emergency, martial law or war.

Yeah, Entertainment Software Association representing all three.

I'm less surprised by that than the exclusion of video game consoles.
Didn't know the Nintendo lobby was a formidable adversary up there.

It’s not like there was a Warren-level progressive in the running.

And if there were, we know from 2020 there'd still be cosplay communists insisting she wasn't progressive enough.

She isn't on the Republicans for Ukraine report card because (duh!) she isn't a Republican, but the only criteria that would get her mildly dinged there would be that she didn't sign Discharge Petition 9 or 10. Republicans with identical records as Omar get an A - Excellent rating.

Same again true of Peter Samson's original 1959 and 1960 editions.

Ah, just picked up a T480s Thinkpad earlier this week, installed Manjaro Cinnamon. Writing this reply on it now.

Republican House Leader Matt Hall quoted in the article: "offering food stamps to the rich does nothing to put food on the tables of Michiganders in need.”

But distribute $1.5 billion to the rich through the Strategic Outreach and Attraction Reserve fund and Matt will reassure you that it helps create jobs.
