U.S. officials and lawmakers are worried about a meeting in Miami between Trump representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev, who’s under U.S. sanctions, to draft a plan to end the war in Ukraine.

Trump seems to think that a #military action is just as long as he calls for it. “If I say, ‘Do it,’ they’re going to do it.”

Trump regularly pardoned service members in his first term who were credibly accused or convicted of war crimes.

As someone who is going to be needing *lots* of care from nurses in the very near future, maybe it wasn't the best idea to insult all of them. But Donald is smart like that.

I am begging people. Look up who Mike Davis is. Jenny gives you a head start but dig into some of what he’s done in the past (clerk to Gorsuch, staffer for Graasley). Then look up some of his Steve Bannon hits. The guy is everywhere in MAGAverse. By far one of Trump’s most dangerous attack dogs.

Trump’s so-called peace plan is anything but. It undermines Ukraine, drives a wedge between America and Europe, and sets the stage for an even broader conflict. Meanwhile, anonymous Russian and American investors profit—while the rest of the world pays the price.
