Fun fact: AG Pam Bondi, who approved Trump’s $400M jet gift from Qatar, was a paid lobbyist for Qatar, earning $115K a month.

Russia's estimated losses in Ukraine as of day 1174 of its all-out war, according to the Ukrainian Army's General Staff.

Here is Vance explaining that, yes, Russia is demanding too much to settle its war in Ukraine. But if they refuse to be reasonable, the U.S. is simply going to... walk away!

Not increase military support for Ukraine, not ramp up sanctions on Russia... just ✨️walk away✨️

President @ZelenskyyUa released a video from Kyiv.

As we celebrate the defeat of the Nazi’s in World War 2, at a time when we face similar evils.

One war, two very different approaches.
On the left, meet Ukraine’s modern robotic platform "Donkey".
And on the right — the truly one-of-a-kind Russian donkey in a helmet carrying an electronic warfare station on his back.

BREAKING: European leaders have issued a ceasefire ULTIMATUM to Putin.

Either he negotiates an end to the war, or Europe will unleash “massive” sanctions against Russia and supply Ukraine devastating weapons.

Putin has 36 hours to respond.

[Eva P @Eva_eva_P]

@tweet4Anna_NAFO This is a major turning point. Europe is uniting behind Ukraine like never before - in the most coordinated pressure campaign on Putin since the war began.👍

They informed Trump in a joint call, but didn't seek his approval. Big difference... he's become a bystander.🙄

中国全国人大代表、企业家董明珠因表示她的公司将不会聘用有海外教育背景的求职者，而在社交媒体引发了激烈争论。

身为格力电器董事长的董明珠在一次股东大会上表示，该公司致力于从国内大学培养领导人才，因为担心曾在海外留学的人可能是“间谍”。

70岁的董明珠被誉为中国的“家电女王”。在过去20多年里，她将格力集团打造成为全球最大的家用空调制造商之一，使其成为中国的明星企业家。

她的言论凸显了中国和西方关系紧张的情况下，中国社会在如何看待海外归国人才问题上的日益加深的分歧。

在网络上被广为转发的影片中，董明珠在台上发言说：“我们在人才培养当中，绝不用一个海归派，海归派里面有间谍，我不知道谁是谁不是。”

“在无法甄别是不是间谍的能力下，我只能保守地选择在国内的高校里面，培养我们自己的人才。”她补充称。

她的支持者认为，中国留学生在海外被外国情报机构策反的案例“层出不穷”，董明珠有权保护她的企业利益。还有人强调这只是一次“内部发言”。

但反对者指出，为中国航天与导弹研发做出巨大贡献的钱学森等科学家都曾留学海外，这样的言论会让出国读书的年轻人感到心寒。还有一些人甚至呼吁抵制格力的产品。

官方媒体《新京报》在一篇评论文章中称：“这样的言论从一位有社会影响力的明星企业家口中说出，无疑会进一步加深对相关群体的污名化和刻板印象。”

自1978年改革开放以来，选择赴海外留学的中国人数持续增长。据估计，已有数百万中国人出国深造。中国教育部表示，中国已成为全球最大的留学生来源国。

在中国的最高领导层——中共中央政治局——之中，有近三分之一的官员有海外学习经历。

但据《南华早报》报道，受地缘政治紧张和国家安全关切影响，中国部分政府机构已收紧对拥有海外学历毕业生在关键岗位的招聘要求。

Fox Host: Trump's approval rating on taxes, 38% approve, 53% disapprove. This is Fox News polling. On the economy, 38% approve, 56% disapprove. On inflation, 33% approve, 59% disapprove

@KyivIndependent Given that the front has hardly moved in 3 years with 6 months of blocked military aid in 2024, drip fed weapons deliveries, scant air defense, not getting what they need when they needed it, & RU needing to pull in N Korean & Chinese troops, I beg to differ, @JDVance.

1929: stock market crashes
US government raises tariffs

stock market crashes
Result > Trump makes everyone rich?

No one can crash a stock market like Trump. He’s the absolute best stock market crasher anywhere.
#TrumpTariffs

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

Trump says the crash is “to be expected” because he “inherited a terrible economy”

Reality: The Economist called 🇺🇸’s economy “the envy of the world” as Biden’s term ended 👇🏽

His trade war is to blame

🚨 NEW: Trump crashes the stock market by 1,600 points—then heads straight to Mar-a-Lago for a golf weekend.

Americans are getting crushed by his tariffs. He’s teeing off in luxury.

Most destructive. Most lazy. It’s not even close.

Seth Meyers’ brilliant take on the stock market crash due to Trump's ridiculous tariffs is sad and funny at the same time.

@typesfast Sooo no actual tariff data variable was used in the formula?

https://t.co/LF5bsCDcHA

[Ryan Petersen @typesfast]

Flexport's team was able to reverse engineer the formula the Administration used to generate the "reciprocal tariffs."

It's quite simple, they took the trade deficit the US has with each country and divided it by our imports from that country.

The chart below shows the predictions of this formula plotted against the actual new tariff rates.
