Holy Smokes, the Marsh Family has put out this parody song about J.D. Vance and not only is it catchy but it hits the nail on the head…

“Anti Trump a few years ago,
 Called him out as a ‘Hitler’ show.
 Now you’re playing his sidekick, 
 Kissing Donald’s ring”

I watched it 70 times.

History has a grim lesson : “Violence of any type begets more violence and serves as an excuse to the side affected to enact revenge.”

So it is vitally important for people who believe in democracy and the rule of law to condemn this act of violence loudly and unequivocally.

Such faux emotion skills…

@juliaioffe Makes me think of Margarita Simonyan.

The acting chops on display here are somewhere between porn and high school play.

Imagine you're sleeping over at a friend's house and you get up in the middle of the night to pee and you hear a weird sound so you follow it to the kitchen, where your friend's mom is drunk, crying, and rambling about the national debt.

Those are the vibes from Katie Britt rn.

Pleased to share my recent report, “Assessing Russian Cyber and Information Warfare in Ukraine: Expectations, Realities, and Lessons”: https://t.co/eQsS9sBuFA Many thanks to the great team at @CNA_org and my terrific colleagues at @NDU_EDU @INSSatNDU for feedback and support!

Watch this concise and precise explainer from @KimberlyMarten. Emphasis: 1) Wagner is part of the Ru state, always has been; 2) Prigozhin is Pu’s servant, not his friend.

[Tatiana Stanovaya @Stanovaya]

The elites may have exhaled a sigh of relief, but they remain in a state of silent shock. Many are grappling with how fragile the entire ‘construction’ has proven to be. Asking themselves the question, how was it possible to get out of such mutiny unpunished, many come to realize that much more is now allowed than might have seemed.

[Michael Kofman @KofmanMichael]

Important to emphasize that we still don't know much about how this ends, what the agreement was, and whether it will stick. It remains to be seen what will happen to Prigozhin and Wagner. For now the damage to Putin's regime is arguably the clearer part of this saga.

[Rob Lee @RALee85]

Still unclear what the actual terms of the agreement are that Prigozhin reached with the Kremlin.

This public messaging might be a means of trying to force Prigozhin to abide by them—whatever they are—by threatening criminal proceedings.

[Kimberly Marten @KimberlyMarten]

Here is my (rather lengthy!) assessment of what the #WagnerGroup is and what this imbroglio is all about, with @democracynow

[max seddon @maxseddon]

Lavrov says “Russian instructors” will keep on working in Mali and CAR.

That used to be a euphemism for Wagner when the Kremlin pretended it didn’t exist. Now, it’s not clear at all who that will be

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

A video of Prigozhin leaving Rostov appeared.

"How's the result today?" He is asked.

"Cheered everyone up," Prigozhin replies.

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

The Kazakh Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated today that the Russian Federation did not request any Military Assistance from the CSTO during the Rebellion by the Wagner PMC Group this past weekend.

[Julia Davis @JuliaDavisNews]

Meanwhile in Russia: even the obedient state TV propagandists were flabbergasted by Putin's decision to let Yevgeny Prigozhin stay alive, much less to walk free after committing his mini-mutiny. More in my latest article, linked below ⤵️
