• Op-Ed: Did Congress Put a Bow on Its $45 Billion Gift to Ukraine?

  12-01-2023 23:49

  After all, “War and Peace” is only 1,400-plus pages, so that means this bill is nearly three times longer than “War and Peace,” and everybody runs to read “War and Peace” — three times — right before Christmas vacation. Right?

Given that, it’s always a mild surprise when anyone, let alone a smart, principled conservative like Rep. Byron Donalds, bothers to grace Reid’s show with their presence.
