Yeah, you are sending the message loud and clear that America does not want free and fair trade. Let's see how that works out for you.

So, it's American policy now that chunks of other people's countries can be "earned on the battlefield"?

Living in rural New Zealand and never having heard of the guy, even I knew he was a dishonest sleaze before he was the candidate for 2016.

Duckling snuggles. First hatchling needs some company before his siblings hatch out.

If Steve Witkoff had worked for Truman we would have dropped the bombs on ourselves and unconditionally surrendered to Japan

They need to wake up and change tack. Europe is sleepwalking into enslavement.

Deluded! How can so many people be deluded like this. Putin will stop when he is stopped. He won't be stopped by Trump, by dishonest Americans or by smooth-talking Europeans. He will be stopped by force. Stop kidding yourselves.

Ukraine's future is decided and will be decided here, in #Ukraine, not in Alaska.

Our lives and our fates are in our hands.

Europe "expresses reservations" about handing over large parts of Ukraine to a lying murderer in exchange for promises. For fucks sake I grow weary of all these cowards.

President Zelenskyy:

"Ukrainians defend what's theirs. Even those who are with Russia know that Russia is doing evil. Of course, we will not reward Russia for what it has perpetrated. The #Ukrainian people deserve peace. But all partners must understand what a dignified peace is.

If only we could also get Netanyahu to that meeting and blow the whole lot up in one go. World peace right there.

What Are My Rights During an ICE Raid? Immigration law can be tricky, but here's what you should know.

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so itโ€™s important to know your rights before youโ€™re face-to-face with ICE agents. While thereโ€™s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, hereโ€™s what they can and canโ€™t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. โฌ‡๏ธ

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain peopleโ€”How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

Trump apologists will move mountains rather than admit what is blindingly obvious to everyone.

The new ducklings get their first swim at about 3 weeks. They take to it like ducks to water though the water temp would still be close to freezing.

Not With a Bang, but With a Truth Social Post The president is rattling a nuclear saber as a distraction.

Perhaps it's appropriate that an apathetic and unserious country be led by such a deeply unserious person.

It's going to be cheaper for American car manufacturers to import brand new Japanese cars, crush them, recycle the metal and use that metal for production of American cars rather than pay the new cost of raw materials.

Seeing Kamala Harris openly say that the system is broken was so powerful.

Just having someone in her position say it so candidly without qualification was beyond powerful.
