Please join me in a new campaign to help protect Ukrainians in a very special way. My Ukrainian friends chose to call this campaign Freedom is Action. They are making an important point. One way to find our own courage is to act in support those who are showing it

President Donald Trump’s demand that Ukraine sign a deal by Thanksgiving appears to have softened as he leaves some of the most important details of the peace plan in the hands of his envoys, one of whom was just embroiled in a high-profile phone leak. https://wapo.st/481ZdYG
Trump steps back from Ukraine peace process, sends out envoys
Envoy Steve Witkoff, who in new phone leaks appears to have advised Russia on negotiations, heads to Moscow next week to discuss the peace plan.

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.
And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.

11th Circuit cites Clinton v Jones in ruling that Trump doesn't get extended statute of limitations on lawsuits to sue Hillary just bc he was super busy as President.
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![The Supreme Court rejected a similar request from President Clinton when it refused to excuse him from judicial process
during his term. See Clinton v. Jones, 520 U.S. 681, 703–04 (1997). It
took no issue with a private citizen subjecting the president to judicial process, in the process burdening his “time and energy” and
“impair[ing] the effective performance of his office.” Id. at 702. If a
president can be haled into court, he cannot be excused from suing
to enforce his rights.
Trump unpersuasively argues that two “circumstances”
support his request. First, he points to the workload he faced during his first term. But it is hard to see how his presidential workload
differs from any other modern president, and those concerns did
not arrest the Supreme Court in Clinton. See 520 U.S. at 697–99.
Second, Trump argues that he was unable to seek relief in court
while in office because, if he had filed this lawsuit during the
Mueller or Durham investigations, “it would have looked like [he]
was interfering with law enforcement functions.” But this argument gives away the game. Equitable tolling requires the circumstances “prevent[ing]” Trump from suing to be “beyond [his] control.” Menominee Indian Tribe, 577 U.S. at 255, 257 (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). Trump concedes that he chose not](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreie6dmdzir7emcv4c3esfgfsujmlf55qqywomglwhjaxevyyjzwkxm@jpeg)
