Finally, some good news from Washington.
The U.S. Congress has passed the Lindsey Graham sanctions bill against russia.
The House just approved the Senate version by 262-159. The Senate had already passed it 86-11.
The legislation now goes to President Trump for his signature.

I promised earlier this week I would write about this, and here it is.

Russia is again running operations to help Trump. Its Matryoshka bot network, which is attacking several elections across Europe, is now attacking Dems ahead of the midterms.

This is only the beginning

Russia Shifts Its Matryoshka Network Toward the U.S. Midterms

After a decade of Russian operations aimed at helping Trump win elections while attacking his opponents, the Russians are at it again and have shifted their focus to the upcoming midterms.
