Trump calls this a peace summit but it’s just an opportunity to hang out with one of his dictator buddies. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

Trump has stopped sharing intelligence and paused military aid with Ukraine. He claims he’s trying to make peace and end the war, but all he’s really doing is weakening Ukraine and strengthening Putin.
Trump is a Russian asset.

Yes, yes, and yes. Our Democratic leaders need to step the hell up and act like an opposition party should. We must also do our part as individuals, but it's good to see some people who are supposed to be leaders stepping up. Thank you, Senator Murphy.
Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"
