This is totally unfair. Witkoff and Kushner had extensive help from the Russian foreign ministry, and they are trying to hog all the credit. SMH.
One man -- Marco Rubio -- serves this country as both National Security Adviser and Secretary of State.
And he was nowhere near the drafting of that Ukraine 'peace plan,' which was instead devised by the president's real-estate buddy and his son-in-law.

Only someone this wealthy would so flippantly suggest you uproot your life, sell your house, pull your kids out of school, quit your job, request a transfer — all to save 50 basis points on CPI. 🤡

The Trump surrender of Ukraine descends into utter chaos. But “chaos” is too mellow a word: What we have here is a rich bouillabaisse of incompetence, mendacity, tragedy, farce, and diplomatic blunder. Words have a hard time keeping up with the story. But we’ll try. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

This is beyond embarrassing.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday that the U.S. “authored” a 28-point peace plan to end the war in Ukraine, after a Republican senator asserted that Rubio had distanced himself from the proposal and called it a Russian initiative.
Rubio Insists U.S. Authored the Ukraine Peace Plan
The comment from Secretary of State Marco Rubio came after a group of U.S. lawmakers claimed that he said the plan was a Russian initiative, not a U.S. proposal.

“If Jeanne Shaheen or Angus King, or ideally just Chuck Schumer, went to the mics and said: We have tried everything we can to make Republicans give you back your health care. They refuse to do so. The only way you’re going to get your health care back is to elect Democrats.”
Now that Dems have capitulated, at the very least they should now make every future extension of funding contingent on Trump following the law. Any lawbreaking must be met with: No more votes from us, period.

In September, federal agents swarmed a Hyundai manufacturing site, detaining more than 500 workers, including more than 300 from South Korea.
Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.

It is incredible — the blind spots you develop when you’ve never, ever been poor.
Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Republicans said no.

Not only is it going to be a hunger crisis, it's going to be a farm crisis. All those gallons of milk bought from dairy farmers, all the produce, all the on sale ground beef and packs of chicken that are paid for by SNAP are subsidies to farmers who don't qualify for commodities subsidies.
