Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.
He’s scrambling.

DOGE was a failure if the goal was saving money. It was a huge success if the goal was giving a bunch of techbro adjacent people unfettered access to govt data in ways that, thus far, are evading the Privacy Act.
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Bye bye, “DOGE”.

This is not a “peace deal”. It’s a 28-point surrender plan drafted and leaked to US media by Russia, and Trump treated it like it was his own. Rubio admitted as much to senators.
This is shaping up to be a train wreck.

Cannot overstate how unhinged and insidious what Candace Owens is doing with Charlie Kirk’s assassination. (Short version: a lot of huffing and puffing and “just asking questions” to lead people to believe The Jews Did It)
The final reason is antisemitism. Influencers like Candace Owens are promoting antisemitic conspiracies about Jews and Israel and those ideas are gaining traction with young conservatives.
@zackbeauchamp.bsky.social had a great write-up on this over on Vox.
