This Friday starts with the sinking of Russia’s flagship in the Black Sea, and a pair of potential new NATO members. Next, Trump’s former chief of staff is embroiled in a voter fraud scandal. Then we get an update on the federal mask mandate, followed by another case of police brutality. We hear about Elon Musk’s latest bid to assume full control of Twitter. Finally, a Republican state Senator out of Tennessee made a *questionable* comparison praising an unexpected historical figure.
