Marie Gluesenkamp Pérez is the winner in WA-3, according to our projections. It's the biggest upset of the House race so far, keeping the narrow Democratic path to retaining House control alive nytimes.com/interactive/2022…

Was the Russian public primed for war by television? Everyone accepts that TV is a cornerstone of the Kremlin's power, but usually in the sense that it tells Russians what to think about Putin and the war. But what if it uses TV to shape *how* people think about war? 1/16

Pretty powerful video. In Dagestan locals clearly don't want to go to war with Ukraine. The recruiting officer argues they have to fight for the future. – We don't even have a present, what future are you talking about," replies a Dagestani man.
