Konstantin Zavrazhin/GettyLithuania is the latest country to announce that it has busted a Russian spy ring on its soil. The allegation that two of its citizens were spying for Russia comes a few weeks after the Dutch authorities rolled up another of the Kremlin’s “substantial espionage networks.” It’s been a tumultuous few months for President Putin’s overseas espionage operation, which keeps getting caught in the act.It is unclear if a string of recent arrests blowing up Russia’s overseas missions is merely a coincidence, or whether there has been some kind of leak from inside Russia’s notorious intel agencies. “There is some penetration,” Andrei Soldatov, one of Russia’s best-informed trackers of the security agencies, told The Daily Beast. “Whether it’s relatively new or old, I don't know, but it looks like a big decision was made to use that penetration to slow down Russian offensive ops.”By far the biggest discovery of a recent Russian overseas operation was the massive cyberattack against U.S. government and private company websites, revealed last month.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Nearly six years later Joe Biden, like so many others, deals daily with the forever fresh memory of loss simply by going to work, doing his job.“My God, the suffering that guy has endured,” his friend, former Senator Bob Kerrey was saying yesterday. “He has suffered immensely and that’s given him a rare ability to truly understand the lives of so many he’s now going to lead.“In a very real way he’s maybe our most American president since Harry Truman. He is uniquely American. He’s not a celebrity. He’s not some Ivy League hot-shot. He’s Joe,” Kerrey continued. “He’s Joe Biden. He used to finish up a day’s business in the Senate by grabbing his lunch bucket, well not a lunch bucket but he’d grab his briefcase, walk down to Union Station, get on the train and go home. Nearly every day. That’s a huge part of who he is. A working guy headed home at the end of the day.”Read more at The Daily Beast.

Photo Illustration: Scouted/The Daily Beast/NordstromThese days, I don’t have the energy to think about a complicated daytime skincare routine. My early morning hours are about efficiency — showering, making coffee, and reading for 30 minutes before jumping into Zoom meetings. Implementing multiple steps to take care of my skin every single day is exhausting just thinking about it, and I think that’s where the idea for Supergoop’s Daily Dose Vitamin C + SPF 40 Sunscreen Serum came from.As someone that *gasp* barely ever wore sunscreen unless at the beach, now that I’m in my 30’s, it’s about time I actually started to listen to the people screaming “WEAR SPF!” into the ether. It’s been shown that wearing SPF, even if you’re indoors but especially if you are outside a lot during the day, can help prevent premature aging. And now that I’m inside basically all the time, I thought it best to start getting into that habit now, so that it becomes ingrained into my muscle memory before we’re allowed back outside.It’s not quite a serum, but not really a gel either. It leaves a nice, dewy look to the skin that doesn’t look oily (even on my combination skin). There’s no fragrance, though there is a bit of a scent — it almost smells like the inside of the bottle itself, slightly plastic-y. It absorbs super quickly and doesn’t pill under anything I layer it with. After using it for a couple weeks now, I already notice some of my post-acne marks starting to fade and my skin feels even and toned. My only qualm is the size: I wish you got a bit more in the bottle since it’s supposed to be an everyday product.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily Beast“Everyone knows I won.”That’s a phrase that Donald Trump, the twice-impeached former game show host and soon-to-be former president, repeated to different advisers and confidants over the long MLK Day weekend—his last one in office before President-elect Joe Biden takes over on Wednesday.In spite of his mutterings, on Inauguration Day President Trump will leave Washington, D.C., scheduled to head to his new home base of Florida (his prior home of New York City has almost entirely disowned him) before Biden is even sworn in. Trump departs the White House with a prolific record of scandal, disasters, mass death, and wide condemnation that existed even before his instigation of the bloody MAGA riot on Capitol Hill early this month.Read more at The Daily Beast.
