Ukraine wants peace. Lasting, just, sustainable peace, and not a pause before the next bloodbath. I cannot stress this enough.

A top White House aide calls a Senator who disagrees with Trump a traitor.
The Trump administration seizes and tries to deport a green card holder here legally who's been charged with no crime.
The Trump administration ignores laws governing hiring, firing, and spending.
The path to despotism.

US aid to Ukraine since Feb 2022 totals $128 billion, mostly older weapons, not cash.
The crypto industry is seeking a bailout of $100 billion from the US Treasury. That is cash.
Remember that when crypto CEOs accuse anyone else of "grifting."

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Oh Canada! Happy memories of crossing the Blue Water Bridge from Port Huron to Sarnia for dinner, the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel to do a quick shop at a fabulous Italian grocery store - this was long ago -- I'm so sorry.
Canadians: sign this petition. And let's freaking show them that we truly are strong and free!! We don't bow down to sexual predator felons even when they sit in the highest office of their country.

RFK was unable to speak to the distinctions between Medicare A/B/C/D - and how the programs interact. Doesn’t know EMTALA is a CMS responsibility. That Medicaid pays for nursing home care for many seniors (not Medicare). Not qualified.

Listening to the KFF recap of the RFK confirmation hearings (Senate Finance yesterday/Health, Ed, Labor & Pensions today). RFK doesn’t know the scope of the HHS program responsibilities (or didn’t do any prep). Not qualified.

I fear for the safety of these people (Pompeo, Bolton, etc.), with whom I disagreed on a policy (and ethical) level, but whose legal actions on behalf of the United States put them in the crosshairs of adversary governments -- their personal security should not be sacrificed by whim.
Could someone explain to me how leaving people who served in his administration vulnerable to assassination attempts is America First in any way, shape, or form?

The New York Times reports that President Trump has now also pulled the security details of Mike Pompeo and former Trump Iran Special Envoy Brian Hook.

Trump pardoned this man, who was:
- Convicted of domestic violence battery by strangulation
- Convicted of battery on law enforcement officer
- Charged with assaulting police and using an explosive on Jan. 6
And Trump just released hundreds more violent criminals like him into American communities

Yikes! More specific examples of impacts of tariffs
25% tariff on all Canadian imports will devastate gas prices. Shown here are all the cross border imports of Canadian oil. Keep in mind that a lot of US oil cannot be directly used/refined in the U.S.— we actually export U.S. “light” crude and instead import “heavy” crude to use in U.S.

This one will be interesting for sure!
Not sure whether the Elon/Vivek "DOGE" frolic is going to raise more Anti-Deficiency Act issues (by doing stuff) or Federal Advisory Committee Act issues (by proposing stuff).
But it'll sure be a litigation bonanza, either way...
