Texas AG impeachment trial gets juicy!

I really haven't followed the story of the impeachment trial of Texas Atty. General Ken Paxton but based of this tweet, or X or whatever you call it now, maybe I should:

Video has been released of the July attack on the Kerch bridge

Ukraine invented sea drones were used to attack the pillars of both the road and the RR bridge. You can see the piers of the two bridges being hit. Damage was extensive and has yet to be repaired. Interestingly, Ukraine can access the security cameras on the bridge

It's still not entirely clear what happened in the recent August attack using missiles. Russia denied any damage but they did that in July as well. And Russia announced that they would exact vengeance for the August attack. Sure sounds like something happened. Maybe we'll get video in a month.

The latest from Ukraine: The Kerch Bridge was hit again yesterday

I didn't report anything yesterday since I was waiting for confirmation.The bridge was hit in July despite Russian denials. Proof in the form of public satellite photos didn't come for weeks. But I'm pretty confident it was hit again yesterday despite Russian denials. Rumor has it the rr bridge as well as the road bridge (which had been reduced to one lane in July).

The latest from Ukraine: Ukraine has established another bridgehead near Kherson in the west

This may be a significant development. The Russians have apparently been pulling troops out of the area opposite Kherson City and environs to try to reinforce against Ukraines slow advances farther east. About a month ago Ukraine established a bridgehead directly opposite Kherson City that the orcs tried hard and failed to eliminate. The Russians pulling troops out of the area seems to indicate that they have no reserves in the Tokmak region further east.
The east bank of the Dneiper in the Kherson region is an area worth watching!

Is there a connection between Chris Christie visiting Ukraine

And traffic now being halted on the Kerch Bridge?
Asking for a friend.

Ukraine last night took out a Russian transport ship.

This makes the second Russian ship in as many days that Ukraine has holed. Reports are that The Sig is currently being towed, having been holed and lost steering.
It remains unclear if the Kerch Bridge was also damaged
