One of the organizations that I support to aid the Ukrainians who need the help most. I may have a chance to meet some of fellow volunteers during my trip to Ukraine this month.

Does Kuwait have air raid sirens as Ukraine does every day, or do people just ignore the sirens?

Largely boosted by MAGA's bigotry.

If Democrats want to win the hearts and souls from the largest portion (45%) of voters - independents, select people like Talarico. It will be very interesting to see how many Republicans will vote for Talarico.

However, Iran is the imminent thread, not China with nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles and regarding the US as the #1 hostile force.

If you were an anti-regime Iranian, would you answer Trump's call to rise up after learning that Trump was trying to prop up the regime with a new leader under his control as he did in Venezuela?

This confirms once again that Trump always prefers dictators as long as they comply with his demands. His expressed admiration for dictators such as the KGB thug and the Chinese middle school dropout is genuine.

Yes, I am grateful to the dictator wannabe for eliminating a brutal dictator. I will be open to holding his portrait on the street to celebrate if he eliminates the most barbaric dictator, his buddy in the Kremlin.

Though the collapse of the clerical regime is not guaranteed, I would say the chance is high due to the characteristics of a totalitarian regime, which is inherently unstable and maintained by top-down tight control. Even the natural death of a dictator can trigger dramatic changes.

Can any statement richer than this one from Rashists?

The longest polar vortex (about 3 weeks) in New England since I moved here in 1996. They usually last for only a few days.
The bright side of this is that it has allowed me to X-C ski locally almost every day for over a month.

New England today.

Witkoff is a Russian-American working for Mother Russia, exactly as the Kremlin expects from Russians around the world, similar to the CCP expecting people like me to work for the interests of China (I am a traitor in their eyes).
A random Joe from the street would be a fairer mediator than Witkoff.

Kushner is a step in the right direction from Kremlin rep Witkoff, or a lesser of two evils.
For Trump, we need to lower the bar to the bottom.

Four years of war drove me to make four visits to Ukraine to bring requested materials to AFU and show solidarity with the people under full-scale terrorist attacks.
The visits have made me fall in love with the great country and its kind, unbelievably resilient people.

I am going to see if Trump will perform another comedy show. I don't watch late night comedy shows. Trump's night speeches are often highly enjoyable comedies.

The USG under Trump is increasingly like the PRC, from which I escaped to the US. I am starting an open thread to document the large amount of evidence.
The US followed the PRC by abstaining in this UN vote on the 4th anniversary of the Rashist full scale slaughter.

"due to a previous engagement" = "due to schedule conflict" (often used by Trump administration) = "due to family reasons" (popular excuse by politicians)

It will be interesting to watch how Trump will try to prop up bitcoin. His family is in the bitcoin mining business, so bitcoin price impacts his family's wealth directly.

I thought the trade deficit would drop significantly after the liberation in April.

I would assume some grifters have realized the trick - trigger some hatred toward them from MAGAs, then enjoy and take full advantage of the automatic popularity.

It is sad to see Gu, an ultimate opportunist, have her popularity boosted by MAGAs who criticize her.
If MAGAs loathed sh*t, would those people start to love sh*t in response?
