Quick question for every journalist covering the Ukraine/Berlin talks:
Have you read Section 257 of CAATSA?
It's current US law. Trump signed it himself in 2017. It says the US will NEVER recognize the separation of ANY Ukrainian territory through military force.
Never. That's what it says. Still in effect.
So why is no one asking why the President is demanding Ukraine do exactly what US law says America will never recognize?
This isn't obscure. It passed 419-3 in the House, 98-2 in the Senate.
Do your job.

Michelle and I are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his beloved wife, Michele. Rob’s achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen. But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people—and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action. Together, he and his wife lived lives defined by purpose. They will be remembered for the values they championed and the countless people they inspired. We send our deepest condolences to all who loved them.

Trump is very upset about this 60 Minutes interview with Marjorie Taylor Greene.

So whatever you do… absolutely do not repost it everywhere.

Let him stew.

🚨 SHE JUST DISCOVERED THE DUMBEST PRICING GLITCH IN AMERICA - AND WALMART CAN’T EVEN EXPLAIN IT.

This woman went to Walmart to grab the ink she always buys.
It used to be around $40.
Today? $79. Same box. Same ink.

Then she checks the shelf and sees the entire printer - which comes with that same $79 ink already inside - selling for $64.

So the hardware plus the ink is cheaper than the ink alone.

She shows customer service the $33 online price and asks them to match it.
They tell her:

“We don’t honor online pricing. We want people buying online, not in-store.”

So Walmart won’t match their own website…the ink costs more than the printer…and she’s left trying to make sense of a system that clearly doesn’t.

Does ANY part of this make sense to you?

Putin Meets With Witkoff and Kushner for Nearly Five Hours and the two sides did not reach any specific compromises, an aide to President Vladimir V. Putin said, as the United States pushes a plan to end the war in Ukraine.

Let me translate for you what this means. There was never any intention from Russia to settle this conflict (even when they released their 28 point “peace plan”). This whole thing has been a well executed intelligence operation with two very specific objectives: 1) to derail the devastating oil sanctions that Senator Lindsay Graham has tee’d up and 2) to derail the EU plan to transfer the Russian frozen assets to Ukraine.

As a result of these so called “peace negotiations” both of these serious consequences have been kicked into the long grass. Putin is happy and Trump will say “we can’t impose sanctions on Russia while we’re trying to get peace”. And he will lean heavily on the EU to not confiscate the frozen assets so they don’t “derail these productive negotiations”.

For anyone who understands what Russia cares about, this whole thing is so obvious. It’s a shame we let ourselves get played by Putin.

Most importantly, the Russian terrorism against innocent Ukrainians will continue.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The Russians started the war, and there is no other way to put it. The whole world is a witness. They came with aggression to destroy us. We stopped them. Europe helped, America helped. Russia failed to occupy Ukraine first and foremost because of the strength of the Ukrainian people – warriors and civilians – and, of course, thanks to our partners.

The United States says that a lot of blood has been shed and it’s enough. And we fully support them. But we must end this war in a way that prevents Russia from coming back a year later with a third invasion. They did not achieve their goal of occupying our country. But I am not sure their objectives have changed. They may simply hold up and we need protection for that.

What will happen tomorrow when our warriors come back home? When they once again become teachers, engineers, people of different professions? They will return, and Russia will continue building up its military strength, preparing for yet another invasion. This is why we want clarity. This is what Ukrainians need.

Congressman Eugene Vindman just demanded that Pete Hegseth be investigated for his war crimes and illegal orders. I couldn’t agree more. This is exactly what is needed.

‼️ Reminder: Admiral Alvin Holsey, the commander overseeing the operations in the Caribbean announced his resignation the same day as Hegseth’s illegal “kill them all” strike against survivors.

Russia is pure evil.

And Europe is obsessed with how to protect Russian money in the banks.

For Gods sake take the money already . Take it out of Trumps hands

Trump says every “drug boat” equals 25,000 American lives saved.

@JuanOrlandoH trafficked 400 tons of cocaine — the equivalent of ~200 drug boats.

By Trump’s own formula, he just pardoned a man who “killed” 5 million Americans.
