Walking away would be a favor for Ukraine. This shit deal has nothing interesting for Ukraine, just gifts for Putin. It's disgusting that Trump even proposes this and expects Ukraine to accept.
Trump's idolization of Putin and that third-worldish, dump of a broken down country is sickening.

Trump's "final offer" for peace requires Ukraine to accept Russian occupation

The U.S. proposal is expected to be discussed tomorrow in London. Ukrainian officials aren't thrilled.

NEW: The Supreme Court directs the Trump administration to "facilitate" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from a prison in El Salvador, where he was sent due to an "administrative error." It also somewhat narrows the district court's order.

No noted dissents.
www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

The rest of the District Court's order remains in effect but requires clarification on remand. The order properly requires the Government to “facilitate” Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador. The intended scope of the term “effectuate” in the District Court's order is, however, unclear, and may exceed the District Court's authority. The District Court should clarify its directive, with due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs. For its part, the Government should be prepared to share what it can con- cerning the steps it has taken and the prospect of further steps.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.

We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

An adorably round, tiny grey bird perched on a branch, tilting its head with a curious expression. Its plump, fluffy body is covered in soft silver-grey feathers, and it has a small dark beak and bright, inquisitive black eyes. The bird's delicate feet grip the rough bark as it seems to pose perfectly for the camera against a softly blurred green background.

Sometimes, what matters most is not the light or the dark, but the in-between moment.

PHOTO by James Wheeler - A vivid sunset ignites the sky with streaks of lavender, coral, and gold, casting their hues across a blanket of scattered clouds. Below, a perfectly still lake mirrors the dramatic canvas above, creating a seamless reflection of color and light. A narrow strip of land with silhouetted trees and distant mountains separates sky from water, anchoring the surreal scene in quiet solitude.

He just testified all morning about the reasons why the tariff policy was going to make America great. Then he checked his phone and realized everything he just said was canceled on Truth Social.
