@SpeakerJohnson#NoKings has nothing to do with Schumer and everything to do with saving democracy from a tyrant and a scared GOP Congress. Your lies will never change that. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
Trump threatens Ukraine.
When will Europe understand that the US under Trump is our new enemy?
During a meeting at the White House on Friday, Trump demanded that Zelensky accept Russia's terms for ending the war and warned that Putin intends to "annihilate" all of Ukraine if it does not agree, the Financial Times reports.
The meeting between the US and Ukrainian presidents escalated into a "loud argument" several times, and Trump "babbled constantly," according to people familiar with the events. Although Trump later supported freezing the current front line, the meeting apparently reflects the unpredictability of the US president's stance on the war and his willingness to support Putin's maximalist demands.
During the meeting, Trump adopted many of Putin's arguments word for word, even when they contradicted his own recent statements about Russia's vulnerabilities, according to European officials briefed on the meeting.
According to a European official familiar with the meeting, Trump told Zelensky that Putin had called the war a "special operation, not a war," adding that the Ukrainian leader must make a deal or face annihilation. The official reported that Trump predicted Ukraine's defeat and warned Zelensky, "If [Putin] wants to, he will destroy you."
At one point during the meeting, the US president dismissed maps of Ukraine showing the front line, according to an official familiar with the event. Trump said he was tired of seeing the map of the front line in Ukraine.
💬 That red line—I don't even know where that is. I've never been there," Trump said, according to the official.
Trump also noted that the Russian economy is "doing great," the official added, in stark contrast to his recent public comments urging Putin to negotiate because the Russian economy is "on the verge of collapse."
Today, Trump told Fox News he is confident the conflict will end, adding that Putin "is going to take something; he has taken property."
On Thursday, Putin presented Trump with a new proposal that Ukraine cede parts of eastern Donbas that it still controls in exchange for the rest of the territories of the Kherson and Zaporizhia regions [controlled by Ukraine].
💬 Giving up [Donbas] to Russia without a fight is unacceptable for Ukrainian society, and Putin knows it, said Oleksandr Merezhko, chairman of the Ukrainian parliament's foreign affairs committee. He added that Putin could be pushing this controversial idea "with the aim of causing division in Ukraine and undermining our unity."
Zelenskyy was "very negative" after the meeting, one of the officials said, adding that European leaders were "not optimistic, but pragmatic in planning the next steps."

ICE impersonator incident are on the rise & one was caught in LA with numerous passports for females & Fake Homeland Security documents! They’re pretty sure that he was part of a human trafficking ring looking for immigrants they hoped wouldn’t be missed! There’s been 34 more!
🚨BREAKING: Trump is clearly bothered by the massive No Kings rally and it’s 7 MILLION attendees: “…it looks like it was paid by Soros. It was very small and ineffective.”
No one was paid Donald. We hate you for FREE.
While we're still able to SPEAK OUT, we must SPEAK OUT! Don't be AFRAID to say what's really on your mind! It's like a wedding when they say "speak now or forever hold your peace"! I'm not holding back. You shouldn't, either.
They don’t mind watching Black athletes for entertainment or copying their celebration dances, but when it comes to politics and public policies, “diversity isn’t our strength.”
Hegseth also said he’d stop after being confirmed. 🥴
BREAKING: Prosecutor Maya Song, who told the DOJ there was not enough evidence to indict James Comey, has just been fired by the Trump DOJ.
Honesty gets you fired if you get in the way of Trump. This woman is a hero.
Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that trump had a unique opportunity to appear presidential yesterday, but squandered it by being a divider-in-chief, blaming a tragedy on DEI policies.
He can't help himself.
Donald trump is a fucking racist.
