I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?

TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

Meanwhile in Russia: Dimitri Simes said that Trump never even read the "peace plan" he wanted Zelensky to sign. Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Andrey Kartapolov said Europeans will have to kneel before Russia if it wins in Ukraine.

I'm co-leading a bipartisan coalition to urge Congress to reject Big Tech’s efforts to prevent states from enforcing AI regulations.

States should be able to enact their own regulations and protect its residents from AI's risk to children, public health, the economy, and more.

Trump's prosecutions of Comey and Letitia James fell apart precisely because he ousted career prosecutors who insisted on following facts and law. His installation of a pliant stooge is what blew up in his face.

The BBC capitulating to Trump. Newsflash: it isn't hyperbole to say that Trump is "the most open corrupt president in American history."
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

A man shot and killed his wife’s two children—a 7-month-old baby and a 7-year-old boy—and the older child’s father, Dustin Willey, 29, before turning the gun on himself last week in Ohio.

Domestic violence murder-suicides occur more than once a day in the US. Easy access to guns fuels this crisis.

And I’ve been ringing the alarm about politicians turning “woke” into a pejorative against Democrats. They’ll lose Black support. It’s opportunist and offensive.

I don’t know why Slotkin thinks this works for her, but this opportunism isn’t a good look.

We don’t need Democrats feeding Republicans talking points or sounding like Republicans, no matter how purple their district is.

What she is saying isn't adding up to the facts about Biden. There is proof what she is saying is off the mark. Also why so many of *us* have issues with Slotkin.
Slotkin: "He's trying to distract us from the big stories of last week, the Epstein files and economy. He's tweeting 'the economy is the best it's ever been' -- amazing considering the public isn't stupid. It reminded me of Joe Biden. Biden tried to tell us for a year that the economy was great."
