Trump “won’t rule out” sending your sons and daughters to war, all to distract from the mandated release of the Epstein files.
Everything he does is for himself. Americans do not want more endless war.

In a state where nearly 40% of its residents are Black, it is absolutely crucial that their voices are heard.

What is Ukraine, which was violently invaded with thousands slaughtered in direct violation of a treaty, expected to "give?"
US Secretary of State:
We're trying to figure out what can Russia give and what do they expect to get, what can Ukraine give and what can Ukraine expect to get.
In the end, the decision will be up to Ukraine and up to Russia, it will not be up to the United States.

Over no public dissents, #SCOTUS *denies* Trump administration's application for a stay in the immigration judges case (about whether the dispute should be in a district court or before the Merit Systems Protection Board).
It's the Trump administration's first real loss at #SCOTUS since April.
