Emile, Helen, Micah, and Sohrab check in on the Ukraine war now that most attention has turned to the Middle East, and a revealing TIME magazine interview with Zelensky that may not bring the sympathetic press that the Ukrainian president would like. Plus, Josh Hawley draws the ire of his fellow Republicans by taking on Citizens United, and a new biography of Mitt Romney shows the Utah senator doesn't hold his colleagues in too high esteem.

Picks of the week: 

Emile: The Conservative Movement's Long Way Home, Kevin Roberts

Helen: Notes From a Baltimore All Souls' Day, Jude Russo

Micah: The Right Finds Its Spine, Nate Hochman

Sohrab: False Orthodoxies on the Right, Frank DeVito
