As usual, what Trump says about this and what the Russians say about it are completely different. Trump always raises expectations in the US so he can later blame Ukraine when talks fail because of Russian intransigence.

The New York Times has reported—and the president seemed to confirm—that Trump has signed what’s called a “presidential finding,” or a classified directive authorizing covert action, against the regime of Venezuelan ruler Nicolás Maduro. trib.al/yz6Yv4I

Children are dying because Trump gutted USAID and cut lifesaving foreign aid — even though it took up less than 1% of the U.S. budget.

Meanwhile, he's preparing to dole out $40 billion to prop up Argentina's failing economy, all to help out his authoritarian pal.

Priorities.

Classic Trump: He does something that won't last, slathers himself in glory, and then watches as things fall apart.

Lots of promises, little reality.

Gaza has 2.2 million people. In 2 years, 10% of the population has been killed or wounded. Their entire infrastructure has been destroyed.

Instead of giving more military aid to Netanyahu’s extremist government, the US must work with the international community to rebuild Gaza.

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

What prompted this

Colombian President Petro: US gov has committed murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters

Fisherman A. Carranza had no ties to drug trade. Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations

Olga Nesterova @onestpress.onestnetwork.com · 3d

Another leverage for Putin.

I explain.

Trump goes against Maduro - Venezuela ends up singing a 10y cooperation deal with Russia.

Now Colombia, part of BRICS-led New Development Bank, whose president is pro Russia to begin with. It gives Putin a leverage to be the “mediator” who ends up on top.

President Gustavo Petro, of Columbia, is an illegal drug leader strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Columbia. It has become the biggest business in Columbia, by far, and Petro does nothing to stop it, despite large scale payments and subsidies from the USA that are nothing more than a long term rip off of America. AS OF TODAY, THESE PAYMENTS, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT, OR SUBSIDIES, WILL NO LONGER BE MADE TO COLUMBIA. The purpose of this drug production is the sale of massive amounts of product into the United States, causing death, destruction, and havoc. Petro, a low rated and very unpopular leader, with a fresh mouth toward America, better close up these killing fields immediately, or the United States will close them up for him, and it won't be done nicely. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President Donald J. Trump

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970

The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside

We can't lower the cost of healthcare or give children free breakfast/lunch at school, or house the unhoused.
But we CAN afford:
$172M for 2 private jets for Kristi Noem
$250M Ballroom
$2M Patio
$1B to update a "free jet"
$3.3M weekend golf
$6M for Hegseth to berate the military
