"Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [#CDC] have been prohibited from co-authoring publications with World Health Organization [#WHO] staff, dealing a blow to global research efforts and continuing the #Trump administration’s aggressive attack on government-funded science."

#Wolfe misses the point, as usual. There's a difference between opposing a genocidal maniac named #Putin while promoting keeping our country's promises (the U.S. committed to protect #Ukraine decades ago in the name of nuclear disarmament) versus prioritizing the "what's in it for me" attitude of so much of domestic politics.

I speak on _issues_, while rejecting partisan affiliation. I'll champion the case of the #unborn, the elderly and, yes, those wrongly oppressed in Ukraine. I'll champion freedom, which includes the freedom to #Evangelize and disciple in the #Gospel.

What you won't see me champion is my preferred tax policy. Or see me constantly get high on outrage porn about whether I'm being persecuted or not. Christians in Ukraine are being persecuted by Putin. Christians in China are being persecuted by Xi.

How much more proof do we need that this administration is completely compromised? There is zero reason for the US to relax any offensive digital actions against Russia. If anything, we should be applying more.

Martin Matishak over at The Record writes that the former Fox news host turned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions.

"Hegseth gave the instruction to Cyber Command chief Gen. Timothy Haugh, who then informed the organization's outgoing director of operations, Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Ryan Heritage, of the new guidance, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity."

"The order does not apply to the National Security Agency, which Haugh also leads, or its signals intelligence work targeting Russia, the sources said."

"While the full scope of Hegseth’s directive to the command remains unclear, it is more evidence of the White House’s efforts to normalize ties with Moscow after the U.S. and international allies worked to isolate the Kremlin over its 2022 invasion of Ukraine."
