Trump's new National Security Doctrine makes one thing clear: Trump is an enemy of democracy, freedom and human rights. His foreign policy is based on the pursuit of profit and support for dictators. Putin, of course, is first among Trump's dictator friends.

This is the cost russia has paid to lose more territory than they claimed in the first days of this war, and it’s approaching 4 years.
They are losers.
No one deserves being handed land of a sovereign people for such losses.

"It's important not to lose track of what is behind the numbers. Sometimes we talk about numbers. Oh, this is an increase in mortality, a percent increase. What is a percent? It's a human. It's a child. It could be your child. It could be my child."

A dramatic drop in mortality for youngsters under age 5 has been one of the great accomplishments in global health. But estimates suggest that in 2025 child deaths will go up.

Fox Business attempts to do a segment on spiking small business bankruptcies, but one host says "is it chapter V or 5? I don't even know" and another one gets mad about the segment itself (because even discussing rising bankruptcies looks bad for Trump)
