Zelensky:

Ending this war without Europe's participation would be unfair and, frankly, impossible.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

The U.S. has asked Russia to propose a new security agreement with Europe as part of efforts to end the war in Ukraine.

Washington wants Moscow to outline its security demands alongside steps to reduce tensions and reassure Europe against future attacks.

Russia remains opposed to European involvement, while European governments are skeptical of the proposed agreement.

Trump envoys Witkoff and Kushner will meet Putin in Moscow on Thursday and push for European participation in future peace talks.

Miriam Adelson:

We have two years in this administration to create true change, to face and defeat our true common enemy together.

That is our responsibility as Israelis and Americans.

Democrats are facing internal backlash after 11 of their lawmakers missed a crucial House vote to advance the impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, allowing Republicans to block the effort 211–204.

Some Democrats blamed traffic delays, medical procedures or personal emergencies, while others accused their colleagues of failing to show up for a critical vote.

Several lawmakers also criticized Democratic leadership over the defeat, which came just days after the party’s midterm victories.

NEW: U.S. efforts to pressure Iran’s neighbors into closing their borders have so far failed, with Türkiye, Iraq and Pakistan resisting Washington’s demands.

Türkiye has largely refused to change its border policies, while Iraq has rejected U.S. requests to close all but two crossings.

The resistance has frustrated Washington’s efforts to tighten its economic blockade of Iran, prompting the Trump administration to launch Task Force Iron Gate to target cross-border trade and smuggling.

Joe Biden:

If I had known that I was feeling lousy because I had cancer, I would have resigned.

I would not have gone forward because I don't think an 80-year-old man with cancer should be running.

But that wasn't the case. It was a circumstance where I thought that I had the capacity, I think I did, to bring a wider array of support for the United States and our positions from around the world.

I had very good relationships with all the major leaders in the world. And so I believe that, on an objective basis, I was the best-equipped person to do the job.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp:

President Obama did very well in having a migration policy that people bought into.

We supported him in that context.

Trump on Venezuela:

I called China and Russia and told them, "You gotta leave." They left.

But we didn't leave.

Trump:

To the victor belong the spoils, they used to say. But you can say it again with my leadership.

Trump on Iran:

Hopefully, we won't have to destroy any more of that country.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Trump on Iran War:

We won. We want to make sure we have a total victory, not a 93% victory.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Trump on Iran:

America did not start a war with Iran. Iran has been waging war on America since 1979.

This should have been taken care of a long time ago.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Trump:

He was stepped on by enemy. I mean, he was—the enemy was all over, and he made the mistake.

A mistake that people understood when they were in the battles of jungles.

He stepped on enemy explosives.

David Axelrod, former Obama senior adviser:

Israel certainly had a right to defend itself. How it did it, I think, is a fair discussion to have.

We have to have it because we're going to lose generations of young people.

You're not going to survive if everybody who is supporting the ADL and other Jewish organizations are only people with gray hair.

We can't wait for people to get less stupid. We have to have this discussion.

David Axelrod, former Obama senior adviser:

You look at these DSA candidates who've been elected. With one exception that I can think of, they've been elected from deep-blue, often urban districts.

They are not the dominant voice. I think Hakeem Jeffries has a lot of maneuverability here in making sure that the loudest voices don't become the dominant voices.

I don't think that's where the Democratic Party is going. I don't think a DSA candidate is going to be the nominee of the Democratic Party.

I don't think that we're on the verge of a kind of DSA takeover of the Democratic Party. No.

Trump:

I will never allow anyone to hurt our country with bad, foolish, horrible ideology.

And everyone knows what I mean.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

David Axelrod, former Obama senior adviser:

Nothing's permanent in our politics.

When we won in 2008, people said this will be the coalition that dominates for the next generation.

And then two years later, we lost 63 seats. There's a message in that.

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary, Mohsen Rezaei:

I advise all countries hosting American military bases on their territory not to cooperate with any American military attack against Iran.

We are saying this now so that they will have no excuse tomorrow.

Any location from which American aircraft take off will be considered a threat to us.

This is our natural right under international law and the UN Charter.
