  State Senator Nathan Dahm (R-Broken Arrow) has filed an amendment that would declare Oklahoma as a sovereign state.
  
  If the amendment is passed by the legislature, Oklahomans would vote on the measure during the next election.
  
  “For far too long, the federal government has trampled on state sovereignty,” Dahm said. “This proposal is an attempt to restore balance between the state and the feds.”
  
  In theory, a sovereign state is represented by a singular government. The amendment states that “The State of Oklahoma is an inseparable sovereign state, a part of the Federal Union known as the United States of America, and the Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land and any laws to the contrary are null, void, and of no effect in this state.”

  Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky day-tripped to Washington, DC, yesterday for his first foreign visit since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began. Zelensky skipped Georgetown Cupcake, but he did meet with President Biden and addressed Congress, thanking “every American” for their support.
  
  Leaders hyping each other up and handshake photo ops are great, but why was Zelensky really in DC? Well, it’s quite simple: weapons. His trip is part of an effort to convince allies to supply the sophisticated weapons needed to fend off Russia’s intense attacks on Ukraine’s cities and its energy grid.
