I think it most likely the Dim Philby leaks came from Russia. But if they came from Europe it’s a clever way to tell the US that Europe has started going it alone on intel.
Keep in mind one of most important points of leverage is intel sharing.

Nothing to see here: Just a CIA trained killer from an elite unit travels from Washington State to DC to shoot random National Guard troops at a random train station on Thanksgiving Eve. Even MAGA has to know this smells rotten.

When antisemitic gun nuts like Massie - who are key elements of the Trump coalition of bigots and conspiracists - are being threatened by Trump's thugs you know there is real dissension in the Regime.
A member of the FBI threatened Thomas Massie's staff with criminal investigations, if he didn't "straighten up and play ball".

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

one thing to remember about the Guard deployment in DC is that they aren’t actually doing anything beyond picking up trash and strolling around the touristy areas, they could all go home tomorrow and it wouldn’t materially effect the city

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.
