“The Biden administration has agreed to provide controversial cluster munitions to Ukraine that it says could help its forces penetrate Russia's...”

Biden supplying cluster munitions isn't a mystery.  Ukraine is burning through munitions faster than the US can produce them.  Wars aren't fought with commitments.   Ukraine's touted offensive grinds to halt pretty quickly without the means to fight.  If Ukraine's offensive stalls for lack of...

“A desperately overdue update of federal guidelines could dovetail into conspiracy theories about voting machines.”
