The $12 trillion "deal" Russia pitched to Witkoff is just a carrot which only serves to prevent the US from helping Ukraine. It will never materialize for many reasons but most due to the fact that Russia is a small economy, where this amount would exceed its GDP by 5 to 6 times.

EU regulation is our best protection against foreign interference
Europe’s enemies want it weak and divided.
They hate the EU because a united Europe is a superpower they cannot bully.
EU regulations are the only thing that makes them follow the rules.
It’s their kryptonite

In 2024, Trump stated that only himself and Dan Scavino have access to his Truth Social account.
This contradicts Karoline Leavitt’s implication that some random, unnamed low-level staffer was to blame for posting the now-deleted racist Obama ape video.

The best way to end the war is maximum pressure.
Strike the oil refineries. Seize the shadow fleet. Add new sanctions. Europe also needs to step up with long-term commitments.
You do not wait for the Russian war machine to stop. You break it

Cutting the Kremlin's revenue is the fastest way to starve their war machine and force a real end to the fighting.

3/11 The human cost is massive.
In Mariupol, the death toll in 3 months potentially exceeded the total deaths in Gaza throughout the entire war, despite a much smaller population.
People underestimate this scale and don't see that Russia is committing genocide in Europe

Jagland helped Epstein, who in turn helped Russia blackmail Trump
The real bombshell in the Epstein emails is being ignored.
They suggest Epstein played a role in Russian leverage over Donald Trump, offering guidance to people close to Putin on how to influence a sitting US president.
Trump is compromised.
This needs far wider attention:

I'm repeating this. The whole fascist, corrupt, MAGA enterprise would grind to a halt if literally half a dozen Republicans in the House and Senate would find a backbone.
Remember, the Republicans in the House and Senate could stop this in a minute. Actually it would only take a few of them. But no, they're either all in or cowards.

Exactly right, and therefore important not to give credit for an investigation of an obvious atrocity. Appropriate responses are apologies, resignations, firings, impeachments. The individuals who killed people should be tried before a judge and jury.
Okay, so this is an authoritarian playbook trick, once the evidence is overwhelming say everyone needs to wait for the official investigation then either fix it or attack it when its completed. Same shit Russian pulled with MH17 and chemical attacks in Syria, very predictable.
Reporter: Will Stephen Miller be apologizing to the family of Alex Pretti for calling him an assassin?
Leavitt: This incident remains under investigation.
