@404media.co , @jasonkoebler.bsky.social do great work tracking public surveillance systems used to track Americans. If you have not seen their reporting, I highly recommend it. I've noticed more and more automated license plate readers every week. So, I wanted to 🔎.

FWIW, RUMINT, but pretty reliable:
1. Vance key to US embrace of Russia plan on Ukraine, Rubio (and even Trump) out of the loop.
2. Vance-Rubio relations “awful.”
3. Rubio told the senators exactly what they said he told them.
4. Hegseth paranoid he’ll be shoved out, Driscoll will replace him.

The opening of Poland's prime minister, Donald Tusk, in reference to the 28 point paper is quite something.
This is trolling on the most professional level politics can give. It is even questionable whether the US side will be understanding this subtlety. Hilarious!

The SecState explanation of the essence & origin of the 28 pt plan presented to Ukraine BY THE US is a strong indicator of the lack of competence of those representing our nation in these efforts.
Russia does these things. It’s well known. Smart negotiators know not to let them happen.

Do I understand correctly that there is now a dispute within the administration about whether this "peace plan" was written by Russians or Americans?

What is Absurdity for 50,000, Alex?
Reuters confirms that President Trump’s son and his special envoy met in private with a sanctioned Kremlin proxy in Miami to help draft the new “peace plan” for Ukraine. This leaves the administration wide open to serious counterintelligence and influence-risk concerns.
