The problem isn’t just Trump anymore
The 73 minutes in which the Murdochs dumped Trump:
The NY Post editorial page: "Trump's silence on Jan 6 is damning" – 5.39pm Friday.
The WSJ editorial page: "The President Who Stood Still on Jan. 6" – 6.52pm Friday.

Deployed
U.S. soldiers are deploying to Europe amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine, some with barely a week's notice. That's caused a mad scramble to ensure bills will be paid, and children and pets will be taken care of. https://t.co/Q2TWGaDVCi
