Opinion | Trump is wrapping up 100 days of historic failure
America has seen ruinous periods, but never when the president was the one knowingly causing the ruin.

Buy used Tesla’s if you are moving to an EV for the first time. They are now super-cheep, and it won’t benefit Musk. Plus, it get the gas guzzlers off the rode. But, consider adding the ‘apology bumper sticker.’ 🙃

Obama vs Trump in 2028? 🤔
President Trump said on Sunday that he was “not joking” about the possibility of seeking a third presidential term, suggesting that there were “methods” to circumvent the two-term limit enshrined in the Constitution. We explain why the 22nd Amendment exists. nyti.ms/3E4tXvT

Trump pushes for changes that keep opposition off balance, are hard to reverse
The administration’s approach: Overwhelm with action, outrun the usual checks on executive power, and change government and the country so quickly that some impacts could be irreversible.

When Greenlanders indicated they wanted nothing to do with a visit from Usha Vance, JD Vance joined his wife and re-routed the visit to the confines of a US military base located in the far north of Greenland. The distance didn’t stop JD Vance from insulting Greenland and Denmark.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that he would be speaking to US President Donald Trump today, following a call between the White House and Kremlin that failed to agree on a full ceasefire in Ukraine.
Zelenskyy says he has call with Trump after White House’s failed bid to halt Putin
Ukrainian president says the Russian leader’s “words are at odds with reality,” as ceasefire talks go nowhere helpful for Kyiv.
