Fareed Zakaria - "America may soon reside over the first negotiated defeat of a modern democracy at the hands of an aggressive autocracy in the heart of Europe an area that American Presidents have declared as vital to national interest...the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded for peace not surrender."

Sad. Hitler didn't stop with Poland. Putin won't stop with the Ukraine. Neville Chamberlain's approach didn't work in Poland. Giving Putin everything he wants in the Ukraine, won't stop him from invading them or anyone else. This plan rewards Putin for his aggression.

Trying the same thing over and over again, without success, is either the definition of insanity or Russian negotiation tactics, depending on your point of view.

Judge says immigration officers’ use of force in Chicago ‘shocks the conscience’

If the US can provide $40 billion in financial support to Argentina, $20 billion to stabilize the peso and $20 billion in financing from banks & wealth funds, because Pres. Trump loves Pres. Javier Milei, then the US can afford continuing ACA subsidies if MAGA is really about putting America First.

Changes to the White House are supposed to first be approved by Congress. Trump is demanding the Justice Department pay him $230 million. But we can't continue subsidies for the Affordable Care Act resulting in 20 million facing higher premiums. The $20 billion to Argentina would cover the ACA.

Looks to me like Fuhrer Trump is doing the same thing to the White House that he's doing to the country and our Constitution - tearing it apart. The entire GOP are accomplices as they refuse to use their checks and balances.

If you have not yet watched Netflix's Famous Last Words with Dr. Jane Goodall, I beg you to do it. Understanding it would only be aired after her death, Dr. Goodall has a powerful message for the earth. These are dark times, but there is still hope as long as we act to protect what we love.
