America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

White House claims China is negotiating with them. China says, no, that's not true. Trump is planning to unilaterally roll back most of his China tariffs in exchange for nothing. So, in other words, a complete and humiliating failure.
The White House has no comment on Chinese denial that there are any ongoing trade talks with the US. Yesterday, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said talks were happening at the staff level.

Maga is primarily about social hierarchy and fear of losing power over the marginalized. You can’t win those people over with social democracy. Or free college or medicare for all. They want to put their boot on people’s necks. That want social dominance

Trump, Vance & others either have forgotten or never knew that Zelensky signed a ceasefire agreement with Putin in 2019. Three years later, Putin launched his full-scale invasion. So, signing another ceasefire with no security guarantees feels like suicide for Ukrainians.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
Trump has not uttered a critical word about Putin but he and his VP publicly belittled the leader of the nation Putin invaded.

Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Prize for, among other things, being a powerful advocate for human rights worldwide. He was also the last President before the right-wing noise machine fully took over. Reagan did him dirty w/ Iran during an absurdly difficult situation.

It appears Musk came to US on a student visa, did not attend school and worked illegally here.
If he lied in his subsequent immigration applications he committed a felony level crime and could be stripped of his citizenship and security clearances.
Musk's brother: "We were illegal immigrants."

What’s amazing about Musk claiming the reason he’s in America is the H1B visa is that it isn’t true. According to story below, he came here on a student visa, worked illegally and then got an H1B. He should release his immigration records to clear this up.

The best way to understand the NYT is as a chronicle of power, which may explain why there are ** checks notes ** seven reporters on this single story about beefing up executive security
