This is arguably the biggest, most important news of the past 18 hours: An FBI informant allegedly gave Kremlin anti-Biden propaganda to top Republicans who built a fake impeachment case on it. It has Putin's fingerprints all over it. The New York Times published it on page A16

Almost every news report says Paul Pelosi is expected to "fully recover." That's just plain false. No one "fully recovers" from being bludgeoned with a hammer. He had brain surgery and a skull fracture. He will have physical and emotional pain and trauma the rest of his life.
