Seeing other places say that it was 52-45 to confirm Whitaker but it still shows this was just performative nonsense.

My LIB brother thinks it's a great act of defiance which will make inroads with independents and talked about the records he broke. I told him we need to strangle Senate speech gooning in it's cradle before we get 24 hours of klobuchar

Does anyone have sources on how much US/UK involvement is required to launch these missiles? It is guaranteed that they provide intel and potential targets. From there, does Ukraine program the missiles? According to Wikipedia, it seems the Storm Shadow missiles are guided by GPS, which—despite its ubiquity—is US military tech. It also appears the missiles need to be loaded with satellite images for target matching. Apparently, they can relay images of a site just before impact and presumably that won't be going directly to Ukrainian military staff but more likely somewhere in the US/UK?

I was almost impressed for a second by some of the tech, but then I remembered that Russia has missiles flying at up to 3 km/s, and now I’m not as much.

I'd attribute it more to the strong rumours online that RFK is about to drop out and endorse Trump to get a spot in Trump's hypothetical administration lmao
