Isn't It Illegal To Intimidate Voters, At Their Homes?

Voting rights groups have filed a lawsuit seeking to stop a pro-Trump group from going door-to-door in Colorado in search of evidence to support voter fraud allegations that have already been debunked and rejected by courts.

The lawsuit alleges that the U.S. Election Integrity Plan — led by Shawn Smith, an ally of former Trump strategist Steve Bannon and MyPillow founder Mike Lindell — is sending armed members door-to-door in areas with large numbers of voters of color, questioning people about how they voted and taking photographs of their homes.

Anonymous Has Been Busy With Putin's Printers
Ever since declaring war against Russian President Vladimir Putin, Anonymous, the decentralized international activist and hacktivist collective, has continued to relentlessly hit the Kremlin with attacks that are undermining the country's leadership and disrupting its narrative on the ongoing invasion of Ukraine. The latest is a printer hack, which allows the collective to send a message across the transcontinental country.

Biden Speaks With Chinese President For 2 Hours

When President Joe Biden spoke Friday with Chinese President Xi Jinping, it wasn't just another phone call in an ongoing flurry of telephone diplomacy.

This call -- which went nearly two hours, according to the White House -- comes at a potential turning point for ties between the United States and China. 

Zelensky doesn't get his No-Fly Zone but he gets quite a bit: 

Biden announces the U.S. will send Ukraine:

- 800 Anti-aircraft systems 

-7,000 Small arms, 20 million rounds in ammunition. - John Hudson
