The linked article about the recent vote to provide aid to the Ukraine is a generally uplifting read, but the final paragraph, which quotes a leading Russian politician eagerly hoping for the U.S.’s descent into civil war, is particularly chilling.

My opponent, Marjorie Taylor Greene, has a network of far-right donors.
They sit and watch Newsmax, Fox News, and Steve Bannon all day, throwing MTG money whenever she comes up with another conspiracy.
Can you chip in $20.24 to counter MTG's radical donors?
Pass it on.

Right-wing hysteria over the carbon tax their movement invented the worst of Canadian politics – The view from Pete
