President Macron rebuked the U.S. peace blueprint and urged Europe to act independently on the roughly €140 billion of russian state assets frozen in Euroclear.

Macron: Europeans alone ‘must decide’ on Russian frozen assets
The French president praised Washington for seeking peace, just not this peace.

This claim is inaccurate and misleading. The members of Congress categorically did not tell the military to "defy the president" as implied here. What they said was this: "you can refuse illegal orders." That statement is accurate and consistent with American law—though it does require context.

The Trump administration has not truly sought peace in Ukraine yet.

The fact that it hasn’t pressured Russia, the invader, demonstrates that.

Trump doesn’t want an end to the war; he wants an end that satisfies Russia, no matter how long it takes

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

If, as historian Gordon Wood recently put it, 'to be an American is to believe in something,' then it is urgent and important for us today to reject the nativism and ethnonationalism that has reared its ugly head. lnk.thebulwark.com/4aa3qLd

FYI: “Sedition is trying to overthrow the government with force or violence,” like for example, the January 6th insurrection.

So....the much decorated, much lauded ex Naval officer and NASA Astronaut Captain Mark Kelly is being threatened by the incompetent , booze-soaked, narcissistic space cadet who woke up and found himself appointed as (checks notes....) Chief War Mongerer????!!

I'm with Captain Mark Kelly all the way
Trump and his Administration are targeting me because I said something they didn’t like — but here’s the thing: I won’t be intimidated into silence. I’ve overcome challenges a lot tougher than Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth.

Sen. Mark Kelly: “I’ve had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I’ve been nearly shot down multiple times. I’ve flown a rocket ship into space four times, built by the lowest bidder. I’m not going to be silenced by Donald Trump.”
