MAGA Mouthpiece Ed Martin Under Investigation by Ethics Committee

"The former DC US attorney nominee revealed he faces a legal disciplinary review in an all-office goodbye email, while claiming his confidentiality was violated."

This couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Vladimir Putin Fires Commander-in-Chief of Russian Ground Forces

General Oleg Selyukov was fired by presidential decree on 15 May. He had been in this position since 2014 and commanded the Victory Parade on Red Square on 9 May. The Russian despot moved Selyukov to be deputy secretary of the Russian Security Council under Sergey Shoigu.

Putin refused to meet Ukrainian President Volodomir Zelensky in Istanbul this week, so that whole affair was a monumental waste of time and money. But it gave the diplomats the opportunity to enjoy delicious Turkish cuisine and hospitality while jabber-jawing at taxpayer expense.

Since Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine, they have lost ~970,590 military personnel (plus 1,220 over the last 24 hours), 372 aircraft, 337 helicopters, and 10,820 tanks.

An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for war crimes remains active for Vladimir Putin. An indictment is merely an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Florida Bans Fluoride in Public Water

"Florida has become the second state to officially ban fluoride in public water." (Utah was the first with this lunacy).

Gov. Ron DeSantis called the fluoridation of water "forced medication," saying it violates "informed consent."

"The move to block fluoride has been decried by major health organizations, who warn that it would negatively affect residents' health."

Nota Bene: The governor of the Sunshine State is an Ivy League graduate like JD Vance.
