The Trump administration has not truly sought peace in Ukraine yet.
The fact that it hasn’t pressured Russia, the invader, demonstrates that.
Trump doesn’t want an end to the war; he wants an end that satisfies Russia, no matter how long it takes

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

We don't need a 28-point "peace plan" to end the war in Ukraine. We need a one-point plan: Putin gets the f*ck out of Ukraine!

The fact that only 3 (by my count) Republican members of Congress have spoken out about the Witkoff situation shows how thoroughly corrupted and compromised the entire party has become from top to bottom. None of this is about just Trump - it is the entire political party.

I'm wondering if Kegseth is hell-bent on going after Mark Kelly because he outranked him. Small men do that kind of thing.

Why are billionaires buying up media outlets?
As a media mogul, you can effectively hedge against democracy by suppressing criticism of yourself and other plutocrats and discouraging any attempt to tax away your wealth.

Our convicted felon president, who pardoned Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy, wants to charge Mark Kelly, a decorated war veteran and astronaut, with seditious conspiracy.
That’s some next-level banana republic shit right there.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Mark Kelly is a diversion. He was quoting the UCMJ. The same I studied while in the Navy.

OpenAI is arguing in court that it wasn't responsible for ChatGPT repeatedly encouraging a teen to die by suicide because he was violating our TOS. I'm not a legal expert but am very curious who courts will think is responsible for an AI's actions.
OpenAI denies allegations that ChatGPT is to blame for a teenager's suicide
Adam Raine's family sued the AI company in August. On Tuesday, OpenAI said in a new court filing that it isn't responsible for the teen's death.
