Leaders of France, Italy, Germany, Poland, the UK, Finland, and the EC stated ahead of Trump-Putin talks that peace negotiations on Ukraine are impossible without Kyiv’s participation and a ceasefire, borders cannot be changed by force, and the current frontline should be the starting point.

"Trump showed the world what an 'America First' foreign policy looks like in practice—attacks on allies, capitulation to dictators, and the abandonment of any remaining pretense that the United States will support and defend democracy around the world."
As Trump Evolves on Ukraine, MAGA Won’t Admit It Was Wrong
The president’s “peace” plan failed, and his former supporters are conspicuously quiet.

I am grateful that so many people found my open letter to Elon Musk moving and want to share it. Some well meaning people are just cutting and pasting it on their social media feeds. I would appreciate it if people would link to the version posted on @democracydocket.com instead.

Thanks.

New, from me: as the Trump administration begins, I try to make sense of what, exactly, DOGE is.

Journalists and policymakers should be skeptical of its claim to be a govt reform commission, and more willing to see it as a form of oligarchic state capture.

"rank and file DOGE staff" = Elon Musk

There is no staff yet. But there is, apparently, only room for one insecure attention-thirsty stunt queen at DOGE.

If Donald Trump hadn’t won the presidential election in November, the Justice Department would have had ample evidence to convict him at trial of trying to obstruct the 2020 election results, special counsel Jack Smith said in a report released Tuesday.

Sometimes there's a day that sums up an era. On Friday, with Trump's sentencing and Biden's job report, it only took a morning. Both made history but only one—the one about the felon-in-chief-elect—made front pages. Welcome to our future. @thebulwark.bsky.social
