WASHINGTON — The Biden administration will announce a series of actions Wednesday targeting what it says are Russian government-sponsored attempts to manipulate U.S. public opinion ahead of the November election, two senior officials told NBC News.
Some of the alleged manipulation has been through RT, a Russian-backed media network, the sources said. The expected moves include Treasury sanctions and a law enforcement action by the Department of Justice. Attorney General Merrick Garland is expected to speak publicly Wednesday afternoon about the announcement.
The US intelligence community says Russia wants to interfere in the election. In other news, the sky is blue, water is wet, and politicians never miss a chance to point fingers.
Whatever sanctions he’s imposing now should have been done 2 years ago. Excuses are running thin.
What is there even left to sanction lmao

Sanctions are better than nothing. It’s time western countries stop tolerating these attacks from Russia and others on our digital infrastructure, the division and manipulation of the populace and the cybererware that’s been going on for years
Oh, Donny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side. The summer’s gone, and all the roses falling, It’s you, it’s you must go and I must bide.
Need to slap some on China too. They’re doing the same damn thing.
> U.S. intelligence agencies have previously assessed that Russia wants to interfere in the 2024 election and flagged RT as a source of Russian propaganda and disinformation and required it to register as a foreign agent.
> In February, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that the Biden administration had "Concerns" about possible Russian interference in the 2024 election cycle.
How come we are still sanctioning Russia, cut everything off with them already. Block every single tie from Russia and its allies.
Sanctions??? Don’t forget also to express frustration, regret and disturbance. You set of helpless idiots.
The best sanction they can apply is giving Ukraine more weapons. Anything below that will be like a slap on the wrist. This madness won’t end until Putin is defeated.
Unless the US plans to implement a “Great Firewall of USA” then this is nothing more than plugging leaky holes in a dam with your fingers…
America is going to elect a prosecutor and it’s allowed Merrick Garland to find his balls.
Too little, too late.
Why dint we just let ukr hit them with himrrars?
Hit russia with long range missiles (by the Ukrainian hands).
Let Ukraine launch some American made missiles at Russian infrastructure then. Call it “immediate effect sanctions”or “flying consequences”
I presume they’ve also put in measures to STOP them from meddling in the elections!!!
At what fucking point are we just going to place a full embargo and be fucking done w them?
Why are America’s adversaries always supporting Trump and the Republican Party?
If the maga crowd can understand the depth of which they have been manipulated and misled, they might storm the kremlin.
The best sanction of all would be to let Ukraine use weapons inside Russia.
Sanctions? How about we let Ukraine open up with the long range ‘Sanctions’?
Great! Now do china
TIL: there are more sanctions we can put on Russia. Foolish me, I thought there were enough Republicans who would side with Democrats to have gotten this done.
They’ve been doing it since before 2016
Watch the documentary “Active Measures”. It explains just how insane the election interference is and how much they have bailed Trump out throughout his life
Wish Canada would do this with China…
PM me if they’ll actually tell what those series of actions are.
Thought this was theonion initially, hey it’s something!
Aren’t they just proxy trading everything through India so sanctions do nothing?
Democracy is absolutely powerless against modern, resourceful dictators like Putin and Xi in the social media era. Too few people realize this.
“They have every right to.” /s
WHY are we not at 100% sanctions? There should be no more sanction left to hit with?
