partisan divisions — and our education levels — play into the wrangling over
public health policies, and how they guide the parties' political messaging.

of every barrier overturned, police line overrun, and entryway breached within
his proximity" and was twice detained outside the building, U.S. prosecutors
said in a sentencing memorandum to the judge.

Data: Bureau of Labor Statistics; Note: data includes lockouts; Chart: Axios
Visuals

The number of major worker strikes in the U.S. rose to its second highest level
in two decades in 2022, per a government report out Wednesday.

unions drove up the numbers. COVID-era issues, like short-staffing, burnout and
pay that didn't keep up with inflation, also pushed workers to the picket lines.

Former Israeli national security adviser Eyal Hulata, who was deeply involved in
mediation efforts between Kyiv and Moscow last year, recently told Axios he
doesn’t see any chance there will be a deal to end the war in Ukraine anytime
soon.

What he's saying: If both sides think time is on their side, a deal won't be
possible, Hulata said in his first time speaking about Israeli policy toward the
war since leaving the Prime Minister's Office in early January. "It was true in
the beginning of the war, and it is still true today."

MOST WORKERS ARE GETTING RAISES THIS YEAR, SURVEY FINDS


Data: Payscale’s 2023 Compensation Best Practices Report; Chart: Axios Visuals

Looks like a lot of folks may be getting raises this year, according to a
Payscale survey out Wednesday morning.

Why it matters: Who doesn't love a salary increase? These numbers look big, but
more employers are unsure about their plans in 2023 than last year. And with
inflation running at around 6% in the U.S. year over year, some workers are
barely keeping pace.

The war in Ukraine has been defined in part by Russian President Vladimir Putin
and his military's miscalculations on and off the battlefield.

The big picture: A year on, Russia's military appears to have learned some
lessons and made tactical adjustments, but those changes don't address bigger
problems, indicating the Kremlin doesn't appear to fully understand where and
how it went wrong, experts say.
