He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Putin fears Ukrainian democracy because it shows a different future is possible for the Russian people, too. A free, democratic Ukraine exposes the lie at the heart of his worldview

This language from any public official (or human being) is repugnant and shameful.

Before Witkoff meets with Putin again, I wish he'd stop in Kyiv and meet some mothers who lost their sons & daughters fighting against Putin's invading army on the frontline, or talk with some kids who lost their grandmas in Putin's drone attacks, or meet some warriors without limbs...

We still need to get from a situation where Russia pretends to negotiate to a situation where they need to negotiate.

Effective diplomacy requires both engagement and pressure. The Trump administration has favoured engagement with Moscow, and it hasn’t worked. Only when Ukraine can stop Putin on the battlefield will he have any incentive to negotiate. As I told @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social

anyone who finds rfk jr. sexually appealing should be added to a publicly accessible registry
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.

But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.
The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.
