One nuance: Kremlev was personally sanctioned by Ukraine for his links to Putin. An organization he is associated with, 'Healthy Fatherland', is also sanctiond for helping abduct children from occupied Ukrainian territory and relocate them in Russia

Great argument. Dems “aren’t sufficiently harnessing public anger over AI data centers to argue for a clean-energy future…aren’t stamping themselves as the only party that wants AI’s gains broadly shared in a truly egalitarian way…and aren’t talking enough about Donald Trump’s role in all of it.”
With Trump unleashing insane tirades against regulating AI, Obama just urged Dems to adopt a comprehensive position on it, warning that failure to act now will be "dangerous."

The Real Reason Obama’s Harsh Warning to Dems About AI Is So Unnerving

Donald Trump admits what DOJ and most of the legacy media refuse to. The U.S. Postal Service mail-in ballot rule was a partisan effort to help the GOP. SCOTUS' decision was, in his words: "a big loss for Republicans."
