“This is the record of a journey from London to the Quantock Hills—to Nether Stowey, Kilve, Crowcombe, and West Bagborough, to the high point where the Taunton-Bridgwater road tops the hills and shows all Exmoor behind, all the Mendips before, and upon the left the sea, and Wales very far off.”

Trump & Rubio want to abandon Zelenskyy & cosy up to Russia.

They may blame Europe, too.

Not one bit of pressure on the murderer in the Kremlin.
Ukraine accepted a ceasefire, Russia did not. This is Trump’s response: “if, for some reason, one of the two parties makes it very difficult, we're just going to say, 'You're foolish, you're fools, you're horrible people' & we're going to just take a pass”
Trump says US will 'pass' on Ukraine peace talks if no progress soon
Trump's comments came hours after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that the US could abandon talks.

What a joke: Trump officials claimed the letter sent to Harvard with a list of demands was a "mistake" sent w/o authorization.

Because Harvard defended themselves, the White House announced they were freezing funding and Trump threatened to remove their tax-exempt status anyway.

What a shit show.

Hi All, I sent this post out yesterday. The Russian campaign against Ukrainian cities and civilians is being directly supported by Trump's policy of depriving Ukraine of more Patriot missiles. Its indicative of how the US is changing sides.
Hi All, just sent out this free piece. Trump is actively working with Putin to see Ukrainian civilians killed, some now and more in the future. He is depriving Ukraine of vital anti air defense, which the Ukrainians are willing to buy (helping the US economy) open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

It's a problem that the people caving to Trump, and especially those executing his lawless policies, feel secure that liberalism as a political philosophy is a pushover and that they will not be held accountable when this is over.

People and institutions are collaborating with Trump because they believe that a future Democratic president won’t punish them. That should change.

The possible EU visa-free suspension is already taking over other issues in Georgia. It’s gonna be big.
Suspension of the visa-free regime for Georgia is a bigger issue than you imagine.
Everyone cares about it, everyone benefits from it. I hear even the police might riot if the visa-free is revoked.
The Georgian Dream begins preparing the population for a potential suspension of the EU visa-free regime.

The White House is right. Ábrego Garcia is innocent and has committed no crime. The man in the picture on the left is a 32 times convicted felon who was found liable for sexual assault. They are not the same.

🇺🇸❌ The US voted against the resolution on UN cooperation with the Council of Europe - together with Russia, Belarus and Eritrea.

😵‍💫 The document contained a condemnation of Russian aggression against Ukraine. The US explained that such wording does not contribute to peace.
