  • A whistle-blower central to Trump’s first impeachment wins a House primary in Virginia. Image

Credit…Erin Schaff/The New York Times Yevgeny Vindman, who along with his twin brother helped expose then-President Donald J. Trump’s attempts to strong-arm Ukraine into digging up dirt on Joseph R. Biden Jr., won his Democratic primary on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press. He will run in the fall to represent the Virginia district of Representative Abigail Spanberger, who is retiring.

    Mr. Vindman, who goes by Eugene, had no governing experience, a point his Democratic competitors made in the primary for Virginia’s Seventh Congressional District. But his name recognition, along with that of his identical twin, Alexander Vindman, helped him raise over $5 million, more than the rest of the field combined.

    Nice!













  • Noteworthy:

    12-year-old Finnish victim with a foreign background sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries

    and:

    stabbed the 12-year-old victim from behind several times. After that he tried to go after a minor who was in the company of the other victim of stabbing

    Far-right ties, violence, cowardice and racism go together really well.

    I’m truly sorry for the child and their friend - and their respective families. I hope they recover from this - and that the fascist terrorist gets what he deserves.
