Once again Trump appears to have been played by Putin. No ceasefire. No imminent meeting between Putin and Zelensky. No near term prospect of Trump applying threatened sanctions. Putin got a meeting on U.S. soil, Trump got flattered by Putin. Advantage Putin. Shameful.

2/ tariffs. Even for someone not quite as big an egomaniac as Trump that's going to affect you. This looks like Anthony from cornfield Twilight Zone episode started demanding someone be nice to him and that person just smacked him upside the head and gave him a bloody nose. Stops ya cold.

We don't know what happened, if the summit went badly. But we know Trump thinks it went VERY badly. I think to make sense of the body language we have to remember that all year DC has been a universal fluff farm for Trump. Same w a lot of academia, business, foreign leaders wanting to deal with ...

Stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇸🇺🇦

But when Harris an avowed and well-known home cook bought a Le Creuset dish….

Trump struggled to walk in a straight line as he went to greet Putin

❗️Journalists were expelled after they started asking Putin about shelling of peaceful cities and killings of civilians.

Boom

All of the optics from this Alaska meeting put Putin on — at least! — equal standing with the president of the United States. An incredible gift to him at no cost.

Are you a business owner in #Philly? Are President Trump’s costly, unpredictable tariffs affecting you, your business, or your employees? If so, I want to hear from you! Share your story here:

Polluters fund and direct Republicans so completely that they’re outraged when they’re asked to clean up their own mess. Corruption.

Both @seamushughes.bsky.social and I had been thinking that SEC would dismiss the fraud case against Patrick Orlando, the guy who packaged up Truth Social as a SPAC. But SEC just filed an opposition to dismissing the case, w/500 page appendix documenting his alleged fraud.

Thanks for writing in, Katie. SmartBuy Illinois has allowed her and others to be able to afford owning a home here in our state, all while helping pay off their student loan debt. We're bridging the financial gap and lowering costs for thousands of families.

DC Police Chief: "In my nearly three decades in law enforcement, I have never seen a single government action that would cause a greater threat to law and order than this dangerous directive." Smith says feds put the public and officers at grave risk www.courthousenews.com/dc-sues-trum...

Every accusation is a confession with them.

Federal immigration officials intend to triple Colorado’s immigrant detention capacity by opening as many as three new facilities in the state in the coming months, according to recent planning documents obtained by the Washington Post.

This is how everyone should treat this masked thugs!! ‘This is cowboy country and we don’t get down with that bullshit!…You got two options you can get the fuck off my property or we can get down.’ Bravo, sir‼️💥🔥💥

Aren't we more or less at the one-year anniversary of many media reports about the imminent fall of the "strategic city of Pokrovsk"?

😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.

US army rolling the red carpet to murderer’s plane. I will never forget this image.

“He’s been here 25 years cutting the state’s grass, paying his taxes — never even had a ticket… we got a felon in the White House but these are the people they got in there. Without immigrants this country is gonna go down.” 🇺🇸

Today and every day, we honor the Navajo Code Talkers, whose courage was instrumental in securing U.S. victories in WW I and WW II. Their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

It’s about race

DUIs. Attacking a prisoner. Battery on a law enforcement officer. Violating prison rules. Guards on Alabama's execution team have been accused of violence and misconduct but were allowed to carry out executions, our investigation last year found.

It's more than fitting to be hosting the Global Aerospace Summit here in Metro East. This has long been a central hub of the industry. And Illinois will continue to be a place where major innovation will be made possible and where the aerospace industry is on the rise.

“Where do you land in this mayoral race, and in particular on @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ?” @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social STILL won’t endorse Zohran — gives gutless, rambling answer instead. (Related: Per @trackaipac.bsky.social Jeffries has received nearly $2 Million from AIPAC)

Secretary Hegseth is jeopardizing a process that helps our best military officers get promoted. I’m demanding answers. @SecDef has shown us time and time again he’s not qualified to lead. crow.house.gov/media/press-...

The media seems obsessed with whitewashing authoritarianism. No, Vladimir Putin is not meeting with "the leader of the free world." He is meeting with his lapdog and wannabe American dictator Donald Trump.

6/ If this meeting passes with no deal, no tough sanctions and no new major military support for Ukraine, then Trump has essentially made this his war. He has assured it will continue, and likely slowly but methodically go Putin's way. A huge moral and strategic loss for America.

Noem says she moved there because she was “horribly doxxed” by the Daily Mail in April. That was when they were reporting how she and Corey Lewandowski had slyly set up in posh apartments across the street from one another, to facilitate their liaisons. Actually kind of a legit story!

What's especially amazing about Hagerty's attempt to say the quiet part out loud here is that it's brilliantly self-defeating: If the Constitution had to specify (in an odious way) how to count *even enslaved people* in the Census, that's only that much more evidence that *everybody* gets counted.

❗️Ukraine right now

We're in court today challenging a Texas law that requires all public K-12 schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom. Public school is for learning, not evangelizing.

Plastic pollution is not something we should be defending. It’s an environmental and health menace, not something to protect. Shameful.

Disgraceful that the government of the United States of America has taken the side of the polluters. Again.

"Putin is in love with a legend. Historically speaking, this is very familiar: new regimes, such as Putin's, seek compensation in myths of ancient origin."
