Before Witkoff meets with Putin again, I wish he'd stop in Kyiv and meet some mothers who lost their sons & daughters fighting against Putin's invading army on the frontline, or talk with some kids who lost their grandmas in Putin's drone attacks, or meet some warriors without limbs...

We still need to get from a situation where Russia pretends to negotiate to a situation where they need to negotiate.

Effective diplomacy requires both engagement and pressure. The Trump administration has favoured engagement with Moscow, and it hasn’t worked. Only when Ukraine can stop Putin on the battlefield will he have any incentive to negotiate. As I told @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social

anyone who finds rfk jr. sexually appealing should be added to a publicly accessible registry
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.

But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.
The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

Meanwhile in Russia: state media hosts and experts praised Trump's 28-point "peace plan," noting that it's in perfect alignment with Russia's goals and does not take Ukraine's interests into account.

I support the Priess Plan.
I already have a counterproposal:

Russia pulls forces/proxies out of Ukraine—all of it—and removes offensive weapons from regions bordering Ukraine.

Pays for all war damage—and reconstruction.

All Russians engaged in war crimes stand trial.

And Ukraine can join any alliance it damn well pleases.

“So America is to receive kickbacks from Russia for the rebuilding of cities, towns and villages pulverized by Russia, using frozen Russian money; and Europe, which has not been consulted on any of this, is to spend more of its own money on reconstruction.”

I honestly don’t understand what the Times is doing here
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.
