Massie (R-KY) is just on fire: "I don't know if that's precedented in this country to have a president call legislators to say that they're engaged in a hostile act, particularly when the so-called hostile act is trying to get justice for people who've been victims of sex crimes." #TrumpEpstein

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

I wish somebody would ask him to specifically list the "seven" or however many wars he claims to have ended and then hand him a map and ask him to show us on it where the wars were.

This paragraph alone should end all Nobel consideration…
Trump: "People go into war, think they're gonna win the war, then they get their asses kicked & they lose their country and lose millions of lives. Nobody goes into a war thinking they're gonna lose. I'm sure Ukraine thought they were gonna win. You're gonna beat somebody that's 15 times your size"

Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who has been released, have been informed by ICE that he could now be subject to deportation to Uganda, and he's been told to report to ICE next week, a source confirms to me.

WTF?
Donald Trump just interrupted his own Press Conference to brag about getting a photo from Vladimir Putin that he will be signing and sending back.
He then says that Putin wants to be at the World Cup in Washington DC, and says he's been very respectful.

Dementia Don strikes again.
Trump claims he solved the conflict between “Aber-baijan and Albania.”

BREAKING: Vladimir Putin is pushing to meet Zelensky in Moscow and Zelensky has obviously turned this down.
Why would Zelensky meet Putin in the country that wants him killed?
This is all a big joke to Putin. He has no plans on stopping. He has no plans for peace.

Reminder that Putin has never said he wants a trilateral meeting, had never said he would respect Ukrainian sovereignty, and has never said he wants to end the war. Not to be a downer, but the discussion of security guarantees is premature.
