Trump envoy Steve Witkoff has been outed as a Russian asset. This is traitorous stuff.
Steve Witkoff helped Russia derail Ukraine’s access to Tomahawk missiles. He tipped off the Kremlin about Zelensky’s U.S. visit, giving Moscow time to arrange a call that convinced Trump to block the deal. Witkoff actively works against Ukraine’s defense, in coordination with Putin’s regime.

Himes: "In combination with the Russia plan and the lethal strikes on drug boats, what the world is seeing is that the Trump administration is purely performative. It doesn't matter what really happens so long as in the moment when you're very mad at Mark Kelly, you threaten to Court-martial him."

While this NYT article pulls punches on Trump's madness, impulsivity, and delusions, it's useful in that it creates space for other articles about Trump's age and clear cognitive and physical decline to follow. Gift link.

To combat bird flu spread, other countries have authorized poultry vaccines. The U.S. hasn’t, amid political and economic pushback.
Without a vaccine, experts say the virus poses an escalating threat: “The minute it transmits to humans, it’s done.”

"Trump and Witkoff are working for the Russians" is such a trivial response. It's a way not to think about the situation. If you want to claim they are working for the Russians, show me a contract. Show me their contacts. It's been years now, and nobody has done this.

It's a tough week for Ukraine as it came under relentless pressure again by a US admin that acts as Moscow's messenger and proxy. Nevertheless, I'm cautiously optimistic that Ukrainian diplomacy will manage again to expose Ru intransigence for all to see.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.
