Jared Kushner cannot legally participate in meetings as Trump's envoy unless and until he is confirmed by the Senate and files financial disclosures. We sued to enforce the law last week. So, no, he can't join this meeting with Zelensky today.

Trump is clearly freaking out as both parties have universally condemned his decision to remove Lindsey Graham’s sanctions against Russian oligarchs. He’s now trying to argue it’s about some secret plan he has to end the war in Ukraine. You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe him.

NBC's new poll, 16 days out: 44% of voters say they're worse off than a year ago. Among independents, 53%. Trump's approval on inflation: 31%. The Treasury Secretary's plan is to blame Biden and wait out a war. Turns out you can't spin a grocery receipt.

Trump MUST BE STOPPED from buying diesel - money that will be used to try and destroy Ukraine peoples. Putin is a killer of mankind and Trump is helping to facilitate these killings. Americans despise communism and never will say it’s ok. Just what is trump getting for this deal(?) $$$$$
