Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) easily won reelection to a fourth term for his seat in Vermont, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ.

Sanders faced opposition from Gerald Malloy, a West Point graduate and businessman, who sought to hammer the progressive lawmaker over issues like the economy and abortion.

But the independent senator remained the clear front-runner throughout the race. In 2018, when he was last reelected to the Senate, Sanders prevailed by 40 points.

While Greene and Loomer may seem like two sides of the same coin— both are MAGA provocateurs with long histories of incendiary comments— their frequent spats on social media show the two aren’t allies outside of their allegiance to Donald Trump.

Depleted by war, Ukraine gives absconding soldiers second chance
As Ukraine's military struggles to find enough troops, particularly infantry, to hold off Russia's much larger army, some units are giving a second chance to those who have absconded from service. With many tens of thousands of troops killed or wounded, it is a depletion that Ukraine can ill afford. One of them is Ukraine's elite 47th Brigade, which published a social media post last month inviting soldiers who had absconded to join.
