(The Hill) "Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) hosted a delegation of sanctioned Russian officials in Washington, D.C., Thursday, drawing mixed reactions from GOP colleagues and condemnation from Ukraine advocacy groups and the Russian opposition in exile."

"Luna is putting herself forward as a facilitator of dialogue between the U.S. and Russia in pursuit of peace in Ukraine. But she is harshly criticized by Kyiv’s supporters and critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who say she is serving to legitimize war-stained figures."

"Luna provided the Russian lawmakers with a private tour of the U.S. Capitol Thursday evening."

"A congressional aide said they entered Speaker Mike Johnson’s suite of offices through the balcony unannounced, adding that the Louisiana Republican was not present at the time."

There's more to Johnson's "meltdown" than not voting to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
