Losing Orban and Vucic is a blow to Putin. Let's hope a big setback to his most important Western ally (Trump and MAGA) is in the cards for next week.

Petition to replace the word “donor” with something else for people who funnel *millions*—not to mention $250 million—into campaigns. That’s not a donor—that’s a buyer.
