Politico, stenographer for Donald Trump. Also, the details of the plan may actually be fluid because there's a fight behind the scenes for influence between Vance and Rubio.

Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly told the White House that most Republicans aren't interested in extending ACA subsidies.
Reminder that 57% of ACA Marketplace enrollees live in congressional districts represented by a Republican.
They're selling out their own voters.

My flight is delayed by ~at least~ an hour because of air traffic congestion. But that’s my fault for not wearing a suit, at least according to Sean Duffy.

Just an absolute joke of a headline..
That plan doesn’t need “refining”..
It needs to be spit on, burnt and the ashes send back to Putin along with the current number of dead Russians fertilizing Ukrainian soil..

the plan would cement the very objectives Putin set out to achieve: the destruction of Ukraine’s identity, faith communities, and future. In short, this plan doesn’t bring peace. It facilitates cultural genocide.

This so-called “peace” plan is nothing of the sort. It rewards aggression, legitimizes theft, and leaves Ukraine’s wounds wide open. Under this proposal, Vladimir Putin would keep the territory he violently seized—along with the tens of thousands of Ukrainian children abducted from their homes. He

The dispute threatens to derail President Trump's push for a peace deal to be achieved this week.

There are more people organizing and pushing back against the regime today than there were in the first term. There are more people in more places (rural towns and big cities across the country). I think it's really strange how resistant some people are to these facts. I wonder what's going on.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

People think tyrants rage because they're strong.
But the truth is they only rage when they know the room will absorb it.
Mamdani didn't absorb it.
So Trump didn't rage.
Fear is the oxygen of authoritarianism.
Take it away, and even a strongman starts to sound like a man.

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.

Mamdani just played Trump without sacrificing immigrants, Muslims, workers, or the LGBTQ.
Trump did his transactional charm offensive, Mamdani countered without compromising.
He won big and this is the man the Democratic Establishment still won't embrace.
