BREAKING: Vladimir Putin is pushing to meet Zelensky in Moscow and Zelensky has obviously turned this down.

Why would Zelensky meet Putin in the country that wants him killed?

This is all a big joke to Putin. He has no plans on stopping. He has no plans for peace.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu:

Blue states should counteract Trump's mid-term redistricting cheat.

Billionairesโ€™ Great 401(k) Fib Private equity funds are misrepresenting their risk and possibly saddling their least wealthy clients with their worst-performing investments, new research finds.

๐ŸšจNEWS: As Trump now lets private equity into your 401k, new data show private equity firms have been letting wealthy investors into higher performing funds & funneling lower-income savers into underperforming funds - all while underreporting volatility.

I worked in the industry and am familiar with this territory. Read Katherine Eban's book "Bottle of Lies". She gets it right. She reports that FDA even sidelined a top investigator because he found too many significant problems and his work risked drug shortages.

DC residents question troopsโ€™ focus on low-crime areas amid Trump takeover Many federal agents have been seen standing around in tourist areas, with few spotted addressing violent crime

Reminder that Trump unleashing federal troops across D.C. isn't meant to address any actual concerns about crime.

It's a show of force.

Itโ€™s important to see this and L.A. as trial runs for a possible military occupation elsewhere in the United States.

"President Zelenskyy insists he won't give up territory.
But European allies have suggested there is room to negotiate." ~MSNBC reporter

Europeans would sacrifice Eastern Ukraine because it's not on their borders, but Zelenskyy is holding their feet to the fire.
Way to go, Vlodymyr!

Many people vote their feelings, their 'instincts,' instead of rationally analyzing the voting histories of each party.
While Democrats tell the truth and help the people, many are impressed by GOP demagogues and con artists who manipulate their selfish feelings. But Newsom calls out the BS.

At least NATO sent an adult delegation to maintain some diplomacy over the global embarrassment of meeting with Putin's idiotic puppets. Russia will continue to murder regardless of today's meetings.

Being against vaccines when diseases are rampant (measles, Covid) is like adding chlorine to the gene pool. Darwin is watching.

Trump vows to change how elections are run. The US Constitution doesn't give him that power President Donald Trump is vowing more changes to the way elections are conducted in the U.S., but based on the Constitution there is little to nothing he can do on his own.

"Trumpโ€™s post came after the president told Fox News that Russian President Vladimir Putin, in their Friday meeting in Alaska, echoed his grievances about mail voting and the 2020 election. Trump continued his attack on mail voting and voting machines in the Oval Office"

"Tax credits were the linchpin for countless wind & solar projects in states aiming to get a large portion of their power from renewable energy... the loss of the tax credits could mean that residents pay more... This will likely kill some projects"

Economically, Americans are more "workers" than "owners."
Get 'em back, Democrats! You've always represented their interests better than the GOP.

WTFU People NOW - Get behind this man - like him or not - Democrats LOSE because of the DIVISIONS amongst us with dozens of candidates. The Republicans are COMPLETELY UNITED in Hatred & Greed with an uneducated voter base. No one is going to be 100% perfect. Vote for ONE candidate and ONLY ONE!!

Newsom is correct, and red states also have many other serious flaws (based on my Googling a few years ago):

Gavin Newsom: โ€œEight of the top ten murder states in this country โ€” red states. Itโ€™s acts of authoritarianism. Itโ€™s acts of power. Itโ€™s weak and itโ€™s increasingly desperate. Itโ€™s important that we meet him head on with substantive counteractionsโ€

Opinion | Trump is talking about voting again. Here's what it means. The president wants to change voting laws ahead of the midterms, but he faces some hurdles.

Would Putin give US a good deal on Russian voting machines?

"Trump said Putin talked with him about election integrity. He then posted on Truth Social about plans to change voting machines....
Multiple outside groups have labeled Russian elections as illegitimate."
