This is just amateurish buffoonery that confirms this Administration’s foreign policy is alternatively Russian-directed and totally directionless. Such an embarrassment. Our enemies delight.

Friendly reminder that striking workers are asking you not to patronize ANY Starbucks store.
If you're traveling this week, your airport definitely has other options. Zero reason to even think about crossing a picket line!

One plan. Six pillars of international law demolished.
Trump's Ukraine plan requires the US to violate 71 international commitments, @EerikNKross has calculated.
It systematically contradicts the legal order America built over 80 years—from the Geneva Conventions to NATO's founding treaty:

We had a solidarity rally with you all in Augusta, Maine, today, and a magnificent bald eagle came to visit and circled over us like a blessing. Didn’t get a good pic, but you can just about see him here to the left of the almost vertical wire.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Mamdani may be the most talented politician I’ve seen in my lifetime. He just waltzed into the White House as a proud and unapologetic pro-Palestinian democratic socialist and slam dunked a literal fascist on live TV with a gotdamn smile. WTF
