Another morsel saved for the book

PA GOP Senate race
Btw it's three years since @droz co-authored a column advocating licensing for ALL guns, the assault weapon ban, and red flag confiscations.

Fighting back

Oh puhleeze
The entire nat sec policy conversation about this is a farce. Every GOP supported and continues to support a Prez who *at the most generous read* idolized Putin and consistently tried to pls him by pursuing policies most treat as clearly damaging to US interests. All a joke. https://t.co/HAJBrtYy3C
