FT’s Guy Chazan reports that the Trump admin is slowly realizing that Putin, not Zelensky, “may be the biggest obstacle to peace” in Ukraine. However, it’s still too soon to say whether this is a true epiphany or just a temporary mood swing. www.ft.com/content/9a75...
Inside the Trump administration’s quiet shift on Ukraine
Lack of compromise by Vladimir Putin has led the US to view him as an obstacle to a ceasefire between Moscow and Kyiv

Today, Trump welcomed white South Africans as refugees—and did this.
It’s bad for our national security, shameful & unconscionable.
And especially hypocritical after all the administration and GOP-wide non-stop condemnation of Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

How can I say this gently? Fuck you, Senate Democrats, and fuck your decorum. We are fighting Nazis here. GET IN THE FIGHT.
CNN reporting that Senate Democrats are “disappointed” in House members for violating “decorum” at Trump’s speech last night.
Just utterly clueless. And worth remembering next time those senators wax reverently about John Lewis.

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.

Jokes aside, the point of these confirmation processes are to largely just assess “is this person qualified” even if they don’t hold your politics. What too many people fail to grasp is that “not willing to be party to raging lawlessness” is a qualification standard

“Afrikaner refugees.” What an absolute perversion.
Trump just issued an executive order titled: ADDRESSING EGREGIOUS ACTIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA
It says "the United States shall promote the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation"
