I went to PA and talked with Ukrainian conservatives. As more Republicans — including their own member of Congress — dial back on Ukraine funding, they feel torn between allegiance to heritage and to their party.

SCOOP: Joshua Hall, who was convicted of threatening to kill Rep. Eric Swalwell, has filed with the FEC to run for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 11th district.
“I deserve a second chance as anybody does, and I still want to be able to make a positive impact,” he told me.

Hall served 20 months in prison for the threat and for impersonating family members of then-Pres. Trump, including his minor son Barron, raising over $7,000 in funds used to pay for alcohol and living expenses, according to court documents. He is on probation through 2026.

UCSB is the second campus, after UCSC, to go on a full strike for a cost-of-living adjustment. UCSC graduate students began their third week of striking today.
UCSB graduate students have been organizing for a COLA since January, but most of the movement’s initial actions were in solidarity with the striking UCSC graduate students.
