Once again, if Trump really wanted to sanction Russia, he has an ideal vehicle crying out to be used; the Graham-Blumenthal act. However, he will not even allow Senate Republicans to vote on it. The only conclusion is that he really does not want to hurt Putin

Trump exists in a mental world that has been constructed for him by Vladimir Putin…
Trump says Putin is tired of the war because it has made him look bad to the world and he wants to look good to the world, and he would have conquered all of Ukraine in the first 5 hours of the invasion but his tanks got stuck in the mud.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

This is not good
The fact that the world’s richest man works at the behest of the executive and can buy out the legislature is massively outside the scope of what the framers could have imagined
there’s is simply no constitutional measure that can guard against something like this

Federal judges have ordered the restoration of USAID and the reinstatement of tens of thousands of civil servants.
Trump is losing in court.
The government shutdown would have been such a gift to Trump.
It would have let him fire them all and close down entire agencies.

There is no explicit Constitutional right to write pro-Palestinian posts on Facbook, so it's hard to see why liberals are so upset about all the college students being deported.

I do not think people realize how comprehensive the Trump Administration is being in its attempts to help Putin kill Ukrainians. I have it on an excellent source that Ukrainian UAV operations are 15% less effective because of the US intel cut off.

I think people are missing the reality of the growing US-Russian alliance under Putin and Trump. Its not going to force a ceasefire on Ukraine, it will be to help Russia try to win the war. The US is now an active enemy of freedom.
