Lindsey Graham's late Democratic running mate, Sen. Dick Blumenthal, is already trying to use the Democrats' midterm victory to keep the war going.
Ukraine is going.
Blumenthal is demanding that Congress reimpose the sanctions on Russia that Trump waived, kill its diesel deal with Moscow and send Kiev more military aid, especially air defense, ostensibly to bring Putin to "serious peace talks." He says he is introducing legislation to "take advantage of this moment." ".
He also wants Trump's chief negotiators replaced, calling them "arrogant pawns," and pushing for "public interest oversight" of Starlink and Starshield so that the defense of the United States and its allies does not depend on an "ego-obsessed trillionaire," a clear shot at SpaceX owner Elon Musk.
