1. An ultimatum
2. Everyone works hard and Ukraine agrees to everything
3. Russia: no
4. 3 months later Ukraine gets another ultimatum
⚡️US 28-point peace plan cut down after talks, new draft includes 'right elements,' Zelensky says.

The revised version is more aligned with Ukraine's position, but negotiating a final agreement is "very difficult," President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Nov. 25.

I’ve been using ChatGPT to help train for a running race. It’s ok. But for being artificial intelligence? It doesn’t know what days of the week are or what day it is. You have to really explain days and dates to it. It thought Thanksgiving was on a Friday.

Zelensky should say this: ‘If you withdraw your help and throw us to the wolves, the butchers? That is a choice you make. Do not pretend it is up to us. It’s your choice.’

Trump has surrendered to Russia
Zelensky: Ukraine stands at one of the most difficult crossroads in its history, between dignity and the risk of losing a key partner.

“Either 28 difficult points, or the harshest winter and growing threats,” he said, adding that “life without freedom, dignity, and justice” is no life at all.

Looks like we’re back to blaming Ukraine again. No pressure on Russia. Never any pressure on Russia.
🇺🇦⚡️🇺🇸 Zelensky said that Trump's plan forces Ukraine to choose between "dignity" and the United States, — Axios

📍Trump confirmed that he insists on handing over Donbas to Putin. According to him, Ukraine will lose it one way or another — either by agreement or on the battlefield.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

One thing about BlueSky is I offer a robust reform to border patrol and I get bluesky ninnies yelling I’m the fascist because I was being reasonable.

Songs that I've screwed up the lyrics my whole life.
'Your Smiling Face' James Taylor sings, 'No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today' and all these years I thought 'No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong, Toodie.' I thought it was a girls name. LOL.

One of the first things we do if we ever regain power is to eliminate the hundred mile rule for warrantless ID checks for border patrol. Bring it down to 25 miles or something. It’s getting abused now.

I hate the new kicking regime in the NFL. Just put the ball on the 20 and make the offense work for it. Except for declared onside kicks. The teams are all starting between the 30 and 40 yard line now it’s just pathetic.

No to fair trials. Suspend habeas. Lock them up. They attacked the United States
I’m thinking the Dems need to run on nothing less than remaking American democracy.

End Citizens United, totally reform the corrupt and broken SCOTUS, a new voting rights act, ban gerrymandering everywhere.

And give Trump figures who broke the law fair trials, and ban them from federal jobs.

Perfect example of political media operating under the post-truth standard that (1) distorts the facts until the parties look approximately equal, and (2) holds “do MAGA voters care?” as a higher standard than “is it true?” or “is it important for the public to know about this?”
Wild to watch playbook run cover for this particular Trump scandal

These people are completely wrong. You can swear her in. Will they say you can’t do that? Of course! So what? It’s not unlawful.

Don’t go to the wrong house people. You make a mistake, you get shot dead, and there’s no legal remedy.
A cleaning woman showed up at the wrong house with her husband. Someone inside shot through the door, striking 32-year-old María Florinda Ríos Pérez de Velásquez in the head, killing her.

The Indianapolis suburb is called Whitestown.

The next Democratic president absolutely should shake down all Texas and Florida universities to do studies on gun violence. @jvl.bsky.social

The way to get new constitutional amendments
1. Get a Dem president
2. Have him say 'I'm pardoning all the terrorists and serial killers in 90 days unless you remove my pardon power.
3. 'All of Congress? New EO You are put on the no fly list. Of course you can pass an amendment no more EO's.'

It is now time for minority leader Jeffries to swear in the new member from Arizona, Grijalva. There is no law against this. Would it work? Probably not. But it would force the house to act to prevent it. It would force THEM to react to US for once.
