This along with promise not to expand should ring all alarmbells in congress
An essential point. One of the major achievements for the Kremlin in "Trump's" peace plan is that it positions the US as an intermediary between the Kremlin and NATO, no longer as NATO's leader. This is completely nuts from a US national security perspective.
Future historians might want to reconstruct when NATO ceased to exist IN ITS TRANSATLANTIC FORM.
Here’s a hint. Look at this passage of the Ukraine „peace plan“. The US will act as a „mediator“ between NATO and Russia.
As if they were no longer the lead nation.

And, as an added bonus, @statenavigate.org is now projecting Dems with 62 seats (out of 100) in the VA House of Delegates (even more amazing when you consider that Dems had only 34 seats heading in to the 2017 elections). Wow, what a night! bluevirginia.us/2025/11/live...

NBC projects all three Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices will keep their seats. Republicans had hoped to oust them and undercut Dems' majority on the court.

so far dems having a really good night
Decision Desk has called both of Georgia's statewide races, for public service commissioner, for Democrats.
If confirmed, this would be a really huge win for Democrats:
It'd be their first statewide win in any non-federal race since 2006!

No big development trough Kramatorsk lately so most likely due to increased air threats. For comparison they stopped the trains to Polvosk 15 months ago
⚡️ Kramatorsk, Ukraine's iconic front-line rail stop, closed for 'indefinite period.'
Trains that ran to Kramatorsk will now have their final destination in the city of Husarivka in Kharkiv Oblast.

on a very general note, flag planting is a very bad indikator on anything
🔥 The Russian flag on the ceiling of "Pokrovsk" was discovered at approximately 9:40 and was destroyed at 10:40.
🏹 The situation in the city remains difficult, as the enemy continues to drag the infantry.

The more change the more thing stays the same.
Therefore, we are making it clear: Ukraine must be in the strongest possible position — before, during, and after any ceasefire. We must increase pressure on the Russian economy and its defense industry until Putin is ready for peace.
