Just a periodic reminder.
Wish people would stop saying Trump has done a U-turn on Ukraine. He does this every few weeks. Putin then makes a violent point of ignoring him. Trump's alleged change of heart is just a prelude to his next humiliation by Putin.

Fully agree with my paper's editorial on Trump. Ukraine needs Europe to stop flattering Trump the conman and take a clear stand for its own survival and values. www.ft.com/content/8ccf...
Trump’s world view: cynical, self-interested and money-grabbing
Latest Ukraine peace plan presented by the US would be a capitulation to Moscow

“A politician’s greatest trick is to convince you that he's not one,” Nuzzi writes. “And what is a politician? Any man who wants to be loved more than other men and through his pursuit reveals why he cannot love himself.”

“Are you still talking about Epstein?” Trump keeps asking. Epstein is a “dead issue”, he says. The man stays dead but his issue is very much alive. That is because the system that protected Epstein has still not been held to account." My column. on.ft.com/43p8IhQ

An important piece from @edwardluce.bsky.social. It speaks a truth many both-sidesers in the media have actively obscured. The anti-semitism in America comes from the right and it is getting worse and it has high-level MAGA sponsorship. We need to see it and reject it.
