    U.S. House to Vote Next Week on Lindsey Graham's 'Hellish' Sanctions Bill Against Russia

    The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote next week on a bill imposing severe sanctions on Russia, authored by the late Senator Lindsey Graham. The bill, which passed the Senate in August, allows President Trump to impose 100-percent tariffs on the five largest buyers of Russian crude oil and natural gas, as well as on the five countries most actively helping Russia evade its energy sanctions. China, India, and Turkey are among the main targets. The bill has faced resistance due to concerns about expanding Trump's tariff powers and increasing oil prices, but House leaders have decided to push it forward.

    GOP Senator's Staffer Fired Over Nazi-Linked Social Media Activity

    A top staffer for Ohio Senator Jon Husted, a Republican, was fired after The Washington Post uncovered his ties to SS reenactment culture, Nazi memorabilia, and playlists glorifying white-minority-ruled Rhodesia. Stephen Woytek, 25, had been Husted's political director since August. His public Facebook account featured a photo of real 1941 Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler Division soldiers as his profile picture, and he followed a WWII reenactment group dedicated to portraying that same SS unit. Woytek defended his hobby as historical reenactment, rejecting the racist and antisemitic ideology of Nazi Germany.
