What's Happening

What's the big story? At least for today, the battlefield was stable.

What's the secondary story? Russia lived up to our low expectations and launched a missile attack, mostly targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure.

What's the bonus story? Washington, D.C. dysfunction that is reaching a "please let this end" Yevgeny Prigozhin level of drama. (long time subscribers/listeners will remember).
