Inside the Oval Office Fight That Upended Ukraine’s Future - The Wall Street Journal

I’m embarrassed for our country. Utterly embarrassed. We have children leading us. If I could apologize to President Zelensky, I would.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

Well said, Mark.

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, said extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich is "the most important economic issue of the day."

I’m posting here for the first time. I like this space more than FB. I like that I’m not seeing 95% ads. I like that it seems common sense is the norm (with a few exceptions, to be expected).

I’ll stay here for a while and see how it goes.
