Ukrainian intelligence confirms what many laypeople on BlueSky had already suspected: Russia is using satellites to help Iran target American bases in the Middle East. And Donald Trump will do *nothing* about this because he cares about Putin far more than he cares about American troops.

#ResistanceRoots #ResistanceBlue In most states, the role of Lieutenant Governor is very limited. That’s not the case in Texas, where the Lieutenant Governor is perhaps the most powerful political office. It’s not only interesting history but a call to get out the Blue vote in this fall’s race. /1
