NYT reports details of Ukraine’s counterproposal to Trump’s 28-point peace plan. Kyiv's version rejects ceding the rest of Donetsk, seeks U.S. Congress-approved security guarantees (must be more robust than Budapest Memo), and preserves Ukraine’s NATO aspirations — a long-standing Russian red line.

Donald Trump has once again proven that my warnings from long ago were accurate.
In 2011 I said he wanted to be America's dictator and thinks he should run the whole world.
I was mocked for those words.

If Trump’s Truth Social post to air traffic controllers proved anything, it is that we fundamentally lack moral leadership, and the rest of us are going to have to provide it.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Transportation announces it will reduce scheduled airspace capacity by 10% starting Friday morning if the government shutdown has not ended, citing "growing pressure" in the NAS as controllers and other personnel continue to go unpaid. Developing story.

ICE is planning to offer private sector bounty hunters cash bonuses for quickly tracking down the home addresses of immigrants across the US, according to a DHS document I reviewed. ICE encourages potential contractors to use "all technology systems available.” theintercept.com/2025/10/31/i...
