Thankfully we made it to the end of another week. Not only because I get to unplug from the news for the weekend, but because I get to wrap up the week with Marcy Wheeler of Emptywheel.net.
We get together every Friday to stick a fork in the week, as Marcy fills in the blanks and explains some of the news stories and issues that came to light during the week.
Today we touch on the resurrection of Trump's "Russia Russia Russia" lies, the Durham appendix, Trump's Putin capitulation, Marcy's explanation of "competitive authoritarianism", more Epstein fallout and more. And then we can rest for a couple of days, rinse and repeat....
