Witkoff is a New York Real Estate thug with no training in diplomacy. He obviously loves Putin as much as trump does. I don’t know why the U.S. is involved with the Ukraine Russia peace talks. They are working for Russia and Russia only. We stand with Ukraine! 🇺🇦

Kremlin says leaked U.S. call is an attempt to disrupt Ukraine peace talks
President Donald Trump, whose envoy Steve Witkoff will visit Moscow next week, said he had no deadline for a deal after earlier pressuring Kyiv to endorse a proposal by Thanksgiving.

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.

To be clear (since NPR isn't), the "joke" is premised on the fact that Trump is kidnapping people w/o due process and shipping them to offshore concentration slave camps in defiance of court orders, human rights accordances, the U.S. constitution, all tenets of common decency, and international law.
President Trump brought grievances to the Thanksgiving pardoning ceremony on Tuesday. He joked about sending the turkeys to a prison in El Salvador, and claimed that last year's turkey pardons were invalid. n.pr/48nUsYx

Kids as young as 3 and 4 years old are being hauled into immigration court in Seattle and read their rights.
They’re being told they have the right to an attorney despite having no capacity to hire one or understand what that means.
As Rep Jayapal says, that’s not due process… it’s a farce.

Steve Witkoff helped Russia derail Ukraine’s access to Tomahawk missiles. He tipped off the Kremlin about Zelensky’s U.S. visit, giving Moscow time to arrange a call that convinced Trump to block the deal. Witkoff actively works against Ukraine’s defense, in coordination with Putin’s regime.

France has arrested "activists" on suspicion of working for Russian special services.
One of those arrested is Anna Novikova – an organizer of rallies against support for Ukraine, "humanitarian convoys" to Donbas, and a participant in Russian propaganda talk shows.

All caveats about polls being assumed... even among 'men', the view of trans people is somewhere between 'positive' to 'don't care' for 69%, which just goes to show the insanity (aside from the cruelty) of targeting trans people for political points.

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.
