Hackers are wreaking havoc in Russia - who used to be off-limits. Digital assailants have plundered the country’s personal financial data, defaced websites and handed decades of government emails to anti-secrecy activists abroad.

@Silea I'm hoping this is the kind of news that boosts Beto O'Rourke chances to become Governor.

@Keep_on_Kraken No, I've never seen it although I know about it. I can see Bruce as an old Elvis lol.
@Keep_on_Kraken 👍 Bruce has been a favorite comedic actors for years. He's just good in everything he does.
@Beerdini Close enough to get Noah's point. It was a funny line and accurate. Fun fact, Fox has a real news streaming service that is great. I get it on my Samsung TV. It's straight news 24/7. No Carlton, Hannity et al. To bad they don't promote that service.
3rd (of many) very funny lines from Trevor Noah last night: "Do you read any of your own newspapers? You guys spent the last 2 years telling everyone the importance of wearing masks & avoiding large indoor gatherings. The second someone offers you a free dinner, you all turn into Joe Rogan."
@Demvoter He did not say which member he was speaking to. I wish he had so I could give credit to them.
"Trump said he won the election but everyone was able to look at the numbers and see that he was wrong. Ron DeSantis was 1 step ahead, first you ban the math textbooks then nobody knows how to count the votes." - Trevor Noah. WH Corres. dinner last night.

@VelvetDuchess The RW knows that the only way they can hold on to power is to convince their core voters that any change is automatically evil and unamerican.
Steve Schmidt used a phrase that he got from a member of congress to describe many of us: "The exhausted majority" - made up of democrats, independents, centrists and moderate republicans.
I understand what he means.

Ukraine National Guardsmen destroyed a Russian tank and a BMP-2 armored vehicle. Then they repaired and rearmed both and evidently are now using them against Russia.

@MiaMaria They're deluded by rw propaganda. It's not as if anyone was throwing a parade for wearing masks, but at the same time, except on an airplane, how often did we actually have to wear a mask? 15-20 minutes a week in the market?

@Jacque That's true. Spring Break is usually at the same time. Back in my day (I'm aging myself) it was called Easter break.
My local CBS news radio station, KNX, just reported that Covid cases rose 52% in the last two weeks. That would mean since Easter.
