With Trump and his Putin loving cronies, Macron is effing spot on:

"“There is a chance that the US will betray Ukraine on territory without clarity on security guarantees,” Macron said according to the English language notes of the call that DER SPIEGEL has obtained."
"We Must Not Leave Ukraine and Volodymyr Alone with These Guys"
DER SPIEGEL has obtained notes from a conference call involving EU leaders - including Germany's Friedrich Merz and France's Emmanuel Macron - showing just how little trust Europe has in Washington.

It’s time for Republicans to pick a side: either Trump’s or the American people.

In other words: they’ll stick with Trump right up until it’s safe to stop pretending. Hypocrites!

PRIMARY HENRY CUELLAR!!!!!!!!!!
Trump pardoned Henry Cuellar, the Texas Democrat who was indicted by the Biden DOJ on charges of bribery and money laundering.

We have policy disagreements with the last anti-abortion Democrat in Congress. But that’s not what this is about.

Cuellar is now compromised by Trump and can’t be trusted.

Rand Paul could have prevented Pete Hegseth from being confirmed as Defense Secretary. Instead, he voted for him — a manifestly unqualified candidate — to run the Defense Department. Now, we're here.
Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released.

“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

John Roberts isn't coming in for enough discredit for the Trump presidency, writes @ryanlcooper.com.
"Roberts turned the presidency into a kingship, and the first president to govern under this ruling has compressed a solid millennium or two of monarchical misrule into a mere ten months."

Public grocery stores run into a monopoly problem: big grocers get better deals from suppliers. That's actually illegal, but the law that bars price discrimination to small grocers is effectively dormant. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social writes that NY is writing its own version of the law:

None of this is surprising. But it is alarming.
European and UN leaders are raising alarms over a new U.S. peace proposal that would force Ukraine to give up eastern territory and accept sweeping concessions. Critics warn the plan sidelines Kyiv and hands Moscow major gains. #Ukraine #Russia #Trump #Putin #EU @france24.com @democrats.senate.gov
