Walz: If trade is so bad with Canada. He was the guy who signed the deal. I think this is how he ran business.The one thing is his claim that he's the business president. He is the worst possible business executive that I have ever witnessed

This will hurt kids. This will hurt farmers. How do you explain to a hungry child or a family farmer that their president would rather give tax breaks to the billionaires than to support all Americans?

Lemme get this straight…

Donald Trump didn’t get a ceasefire deal between Ukraine and Russia.

He clearly didn’t end the war.

He didn’t get Zelenskyy to sign a minerals deal.

He ended the peace talks and canceled a press conference.

And MAGA thinks he’s a brilliant negotiator?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A US effort to sink a draft UN resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine failed today after European countries and Kyiv marshaled support for strong language against Moscow.

The General Assembly passed the resolution with 93 countries voting in favor. The US & Russia both voted against it.
UN passes resolutions condemning Russian invasion of Ukraine despite US opposition
The defeats show how isolated the U.S. in its push to be more conciliatory toward Russia in brokering a deal deal to end the Russia-Ukraine war.
