Trying to keep it real.

@ZelenskyyUa If you need a backchannel to the American administration, reach out. I'd be happy to try to straighten out the misunderstanding with Witkoff and Rubio.

[Beat Confusion @BeatConfusion]

@ZelenskyyUa Also, you need to find time with Rubio or Witkoff to explain your position on territorial integrity. Lutnick went on TV on Sunday to say that you won't sign a peace agreement without full restoration of pre-2022 borders. That's not your bottom line. You need to speak up.

@CynicalPublius The stopping fighting [permanently] part sounds excellent.

And, Putin's totally on board with that and with leaving an independent, sovereign Ukraine to build a flourishing independent, democracy and economy, right?

Right?

@SecRubio @POTUS So, punching down is the new standing up?

@JustinTrudeau His objective with Canada was truly Fentanyl after all?

Not likely.

Just wait for the escalating demands during the next 30 days.

@petrogustavo Piense en todos esos cultivadores de flores y silleteras, cuyo sustento y sus negocios dependen de su pragmatismo en este momento difícil.

@petrogustavo Mañana, cuando salga el día, desista de toda esta retórica inútil y de inmediato de la naturaleza de las aeronaves utilizadas para trasladar a los repatriados. Por si acaso, ofrezca suspender el flujo de personas a través del Tapón del Darién.

[Beat Confusion @BeatConfusion]

@petrogustavo Siendo realistas, usted va a querer repensar su posición inicial de que su país sólo recibirá repatriados en un jet ejecutivo. El pragmatismo es lo que su gente necesita.

@petrogustavo Esta es una reacción terriblemente dramática y nada estratégica, Petro. Aquí en Canadá, nos enfrentamos a la misma posición negociadora inicial de los Estados Unidos. Y para nosotros, es mucho más grave que para usted: el 77% de nuestro comercio es con los Estados Unidos.

@fransdeboek @clairlemon @_alice_evans Whether it's socioeconomic power or control over fertility or a melding of these with cultural change, women in their twenties are far less dependent on men. These are basic changes with no easy solutions. But focussing more on sustaining young men on various levels can't hurt.

John McWhorter consistently colours over all the lines. For my money, the most incisive, fearless and iconoclastic columnist at @NYTOpinion.

@ByronYork @AP As we speak, Zelensky is unilaterally accomplishing the disarmament and defanging of the nihilistic Russian suicide cult, and his compatriots are making virtually all of the enormous sacrifices.

What's not to like?

Some things are worth paying good money.

Great presentation. However, everyone still seems to be begging the question as to what is the right reference rate. Core PCE is fine. But should we really be taking a full 12 months, rather than trailing the 3 or 6 months annualized? This is a crucial choice.

Even under generous assumptions that tend to favor a more dovish policy, the policy rate is not yet in a zone that may be considered sufficiently restrictive, Bullard says https://t.co/ObkyhT1vZH
