I realize the Europeans have largely gone to bed, but: I got bitten by a dog yesterday and had a bad reaction to it and ended up throwing up all night last night. My wife made me go to the emergency room; I've gotten IV fluids and an abdominal ultrasound. This is what I had to pay. I have insurance.

In a report endorsed by the former head of MI6, the Henry Jackson Society said a staggering 50% of the Russians in London - 75,000 - were informants for Putin. Russia has many operatives across Europe.

A Paris court today rejected Russian television star Xenia Fedorova's appeal against a ruling that she must leave the country, a week after French authorities accused her of acting as "a conduit for disinformation campaigns" orchestrated by Moscow.

Well, at least it was for a completely lawless and pointless cause.

This raises the question of whether Todd Blanche knew Trump intended to appeal-and was therefore lying to Congress when he testified about it But the more troubling issue is, if the Acting Attorney General committed perjury, who will prosecute him And can you impeach an interim AG

Trump confirmed today that he will appeal the ruling from a federal judge in Florida who found the president effectively colluded with his own government in bringing a $10 billion suit against the IRS. Trump has no intention of dropping the IRS slush fund which doesn't look good for Todd Blanche.
