– Microsoft says Russia has been hacking Ukraine.

– Moldova events raise fears of wider war.

– Axios says pro-Israel groups have been involved in primary fights.

– RollCall notes that the Senate has been having only 1/3 as many votes on amendments as 30+ years ago. Only in passing does it mention what I think is the cause — repeated filling of the amendment tree.
