I served as our Ambassador in Ukraine for 3 years under Putin’s missiles and drones but resigned when Trump kept appeasing Putin. America does not bow to dictators. It’s not who we are.

Here's why this Trump-Putin so-called "peace plan" is a disaster:

Only a profoundly cowardly and weak president could have come up with such a Russia-friendly proposal. Or one profoundly compromised by Russia.

28 Points Later A definitive guide to the Russian zombie diplomacy of Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine — aka what happens when you let the Russians eat your brains

The “deal” deprives Ukraine of everything it has won by withstanding Russian aggression and defending the borders of Europe.

It rewards Russian lawlessness—and makes America complicit in the lawlessness.

It’s the end of post WWII American power.

We have to consider this a possibility - Is Mamdani the Saudi Crown Prince of New York City? Some reporter needs to ask Trump.

Pretty sure Trump still wants to send ICE into NYC - maybe hems looking to set up a cage match with Mamdani as his foil.

Very, very interesting.

Almost bizarre.

What we know about leaked US draft plan to end Russia's Ukraine war There are 28 key points and while several on the face of it could be acceptable to Ukraine, others cross Kyiv's red lines.

Do you think it’s just coincidence Trump foisted this Russia-loving “peace plan” on Ukraine right after the votes to release the Epstein files?

I don’t. Looks like Putin made a threat.

What is up with that grin

I cannot think of a more useless job than being a “reporter” who “covers” Leavitt.

Stupid Apple Maps still calls it “Gulf of America”. Can’t trust Apple any more.

Iran’s fresh water problem has become extreme.

This is correct; there isn’t anyone else in the Trump inner circle (or more broadly in the Republican federal government) that has Trump’s gravitas. JD Vance will try to convince voters he does, but he doesn’t.

I do think the GOP has gotten too comfortable with corruption, though.

This argument requires an expansive definition of “center right” that includes many straight-up liberal policies.

lol - Pretty dismissive of a presidency that actually tried to work for its citizens.

To do this, FDR had to overcome a Supreme Court far more enamored of property and imaginary contract rights than of actual people. If that’s an “Imperial presidency”, we could use more of it.

Surprising it got this far.

Would have been funny if Jeffries had taken the hat and sat on it.

She even kind of smiles a bit as he babbles on, like she enjoys seeing him squirm. 🤣

“I still think environmentalism is basically bad” - that’s because you weren’t alive when corporations were turning the US into an environmental shithole.

Remember on that date in February Trump abused and betrayed a democratic ally while on Nov. 18, he excused a brutal murder, blamed the victim and sucked up to a rich Saudi prince calling him “one of the most respected people in the world.”

He resigned so Trump can replace him. Good strategy.

I stumbled upon this the other night, and it's terrific - well worth a half hour of your time. I'm a tech layman when it comes to film, but this felt spot-on to me and I learned stuff, too! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvwP...

Kristi Noem has told everyone that there are no U.S citizens being detained or deported & that’s a Blatant Lie like most of what comes out of her mouth. This is just a very short list of U.S. citizens that have been detained since January.

Absolutely correct.

We had been hoping that the US military would not obey illegal orders. The boat strikes have now taught us that was wishful thinking. Here's a great post explaining where we are and how we got here www.latimes.com/opinion/stor... #CivMilSky

1/This week has seen a blitz of what looks like corruption sandals: Saudi development deals for US military tech, Pakistani payments to Trump insiders for tariff relief, Swiss gold bars for a trade deal. Far from a payoff, this is a reordering of internat'l system.

1/ The night of the raid, Jonahyker López awoke to the sound of a helicopter over his building and federal agents yelling, “Open the door!” López told me he sat on the edge of his bed, wishing that his own door would become invisible. But the door came down and agents burst in. 🧵

This is bullshit! What are the charges?

📌 Border Patrol arrested two women for allegedly honking their car horn to alert others of the agents’ presence
