A four-byline piece from @politico.com:

“.. There’s a change in mindset. We’ve moved on from seduction to strategy,” one EU diplomat said .. “We’ll take decisions to protect ourselves.”

The diplomat added: “We need to strike a path that works without Washington.”

Leavitt: "In order to make a good deal, both sides have to walk away a little unhappy. And unfortunately, President Zelenskyy has been trying to litigate this peace negotiation in the press. And that's unacceptable to the president ... the president is frustrated. His patience is wearing thin."

So the Republican Party has historically blocked:

-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health

And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The Trump administration is pursuing three chilling strategies: - Sending Americans directly to foreign prisons.--Criminalizing dissent.--Blatantly defying the judiciary.This directly threatens the constitutional rights of every American: free speech, due process, and the rule of law.
