When I worked for Obama, I advised him on how to talk to Russian leaders. I never gave the Kremlin advice on how to talk to Obama (and I talked to Ushakov many times!).

If the President doesn’t want to be called a Russian asset, perhaps he should stop acting like a Russian asset.

Finally, we hear actual legal terms. Thank you @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu

As someone who studied EU Policy, I appreciate this.

My question is though - how stable is any ceasefire if Russia is entitled to keep what they occupied even if the change to actual, legal UA borders isn’t recognized?

Dear USA,

this is a polite request that you keep you disgusting rapist criminal President out of our affairs in Europe. If you don't want to support your allies in their fight against Russian imperialism that's fine, but please now just stay completely out of what is no longer any of your business

There is not one grown woman who doesn’t carry the trauma of sexual assault or coercion in her life. Not in my circle.
We stand with these women steadfast, who suffered so much trauma as children at the hands of entitled men.
Try us MFs - I am woman, hear me roar!
The truth will have its day.

That day is now.

Release all the Epstein files.
