 CNNLess than 24 hours after the White House inked a deal with House Republicans to raise the debt ceiling and avoid a default, Republicans are already conceding they won't be united on it.
Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-SD), one of the deal's negotiators and a member of some moderate Republican caucuses, conceded to CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday that some Republicans will not vote for the bill. However, he said, the bill was still a complete and total win for Republicans.
Let's be honest, Bob Good will not vote for this thing," Johnson said on State of the Union, referring to his GOP colleague from Virginia. "It doesn't matter if Mother Teresa came back from the dead and called him, he's not voting for it. He was never going to — this is going to pass."

 Photo Illustration by Erin O'Flynn/The Daily Beast/Getty ImagesIt has been said that Donald Trump is more of a charismatic cult leader than a traditional politician. When it comes to trying to replace him, could it be that Ron DeSantis is, once again, taking a page from the master by trying to build his own cult following?
I've spent the last several days trying to understand why Ron DeSantis would announce his campaign on Twitter Spaces—and then spend his time focused on very online topics that are generally reserved for right-wing podcasts—and nothing else makes sense.

 via Telegram Russians visiting an official website of the Russian Orthodox Church this weekend were greeted with what must have been a jarring message: Vladimir Putin's top holy man, Patriarch Kirill, cheering on Ukraine's counteroffensive.
The main page of the official website for Patriarch Kirill's residence in Peredelkino near Moscow was hacked to show a message to visitors that read, "Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia blesses the Ukrainian Armed Forces' counter-offensive."
A video of Ukrainian troops preparing to "take back what's theirs" was still playing on the website as of Saturday night. The video, released by Ukraine's Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces Valeriy Zaluzhny, was widely seen as heralding the start of a large-scale counteroffensive to take back territories currently under Russian occupation.
