It’s been on Putin’s To Do List for Trump for a long time and they talk about it every time they speak to each other.
The FBI raided the home of a Washington Post reporter. This is a blatant attack on press freedom — yet Jeff Bezos has so far been silent. Billionaire control of the media is a danger to us all.
When a billionaire with major government contracts & ties to authoritarian governments calls to "Abolish the EU," it is not an ordinary political opinion. It is a foreign state actor hostile to European democracy, pushing terrorist rhetoric, and destabilizing regional security.
