The United States on Wednesday announced a broad effort to push back on Russian influence campaigns in the 2024 election, trying to curb the Kremlin’s use of state-run media and fake news sites to sway American voters.

The actions include sanctions, indictments and seizing of web domains that U.S. officials say the Kremlin uses to spread propaganda and disinformation about Ukraine, which Russia invaded more than two years ago.

Attorney General Merrick B. Garland on Wednesday announced actions by the Justice Department, including the indictment of two Russian employees of RT, the state-owned broadcaster, who used a company in Tennessee to spread content, and the takedown of a Russian malign influence campaign known as Doppelganger.

    I’m a huge Biden guy. Love him. NYT throwing him into the fire was fucked up but it did give dems a better shot at the White House in 2025. Unintended fortune perhaps, but Biden was losing it until he dropped out.

    I sub to WaPo and NYT. Most of their stuff is fine but everyone once in a while you’ll get a jaw dropper. Hell, even CNN was coddling to Trump not long ago.

      How can you love someone who is so adamantly defending and enabling a genocide?

        Yeah the “unintended fortune” is right. Made me rethink what I thought of the NYT and look up where my sentiment came from. But do I really have to thank the NYT now for aiding in Biden’s replacement? :D
