The House Judiciary Committee has urged prosecution of Amazon for *a "pattern and practice of misleading conduct that suggests” it was acting to influence the committee’s investigation into online market competition.*

Putin's repression in Russia started over ten years ago and gradually intensified.

It seems that Russia is interfering with GPS signals near its western borders in Europe.

I was in Moscow in 2019, and while in a car driving around in an area fairly near the Kremlin, the driver told me that navigation was leading him astray. He said that that was common in that area. I supposed it was a precaution to interfere with air attacks.

Russia claimed that Ukrainian right-wing extremists are planning to carry out an attack against Ukrainians and blame it on Russia. The UK warns this could be preparation for the Putin forces to use chemical weapons and blame it on Ukrainian nationalists.

Nazis lean towards cruel violence and dishonesty, so I won't say that Putin's claim about their plans is utterly absurd. But I don't believe it. I am skeptical that they would want to use chemical weapons against Ukrainians, and skeptical that they would have the capacity to obtain them or make them, or the capacity to use them.

By contrast, Russia had a history of being involved with chemical weapons, and Putin has a history of poisoning a enemies -- Alexander Litvinenko, the Skripals, and Alexei Navalni.

Russian claims about US bioweapons labs in Ukraine seem so unlikely that I can't take them seriously. If the US wanted to do this, Ukraine would have been totally unsuitable. The US would not have chosen a country that is not its ally, which has a recent history of governmental instability, and where Russia was waging a low-intensity war. Stupider decisions have been made, but Russian disinformation is a more plausible explanation than that there is any truth in this.

Putin forces are bombarding civilian targets in Mariupol constantly. The intentionally destroyed electric cables and gas pipelines. Civilians have no water supply.

The Putin forces destroyed a maternity hospital without warning; both adults and children are trapped in the rubble. They invited civilians to evacuate, then shelled them when they tried to.
