It's decided.

Europe is closing the tap on Russian fossil fuels once and for all.

Energy independence starts now.

O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."

Pope Leo XIV voiced support for Ukraine, expressing concern over renewed strikes on cities. He called for prayers for a just and lasting peace, noting the toll on civilians, especially children, and the destruction of homes as winter sets in. “I stand close to those who suffer so cruelly,” he said.

"Militarily, there is no justification for demanding such sweeping concessions from Ukraine compared to Russia": several thoughts from Danish military expert Anders Puck Nielsen regarding the 28-point plan.

The proposed "peace plan" looks like a genuinely harsh ultimatum.

Effective diplomacy requires both engagement and pressure. The Trump administration has favoured engagement with Moscow, and it hasn’t worked. Only when Ukraine can stop Putin on the battlefield will he have any incentive to negotiate. As I told @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social

How many people especially children will die if Trump attacks Venezuela under the false pretense of drug smuggling? remember Trump just pardoned one f the biggest drug runners of all time, former Honduran president, Juan Orlando Hernandez. I want all of those MAGA and Christian Nationalists .

@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

A draft dodger and coward criticizing American military and intelligence heroes for reminding our military that they do not have to follow illegal orders is deplorable. To our military, question every order and make sure you know it is legal.

The National Guard should have never been deployed in Washington, DC. It was a political ploy by Trump to agitate the country against immigrants. The result is that two wonderful young soldiers have been shot. One died and other is critical. Shame on Trump and those who supported it.

One of the major factors leading to the current crisis in America and the decline of democracy is the right wing media radicalization of Americans. Fox, OAN and the many web and podcast sources have brainwashed half of the US population.

A Sudanese mother holds her child moments before being executed by the Rapid Support Forces militia.

What is happening in Sudan is not just a war… It is a humanitarian wound, a mother’s cry, a nation’s sorrow calling on the world not to remain silent.

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.

He’s scrambling.
