Kushner's and Witkoff's dealings with the Kremlin are now focused almost entirely on assisting the Kremlin in achieving its highly predatory energy-dependency aspirations vis-a-vis Europe... provided, of course, that there's a big payoff for Trump and his entourage in the bargain. Pure corruption.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Can Senator Jon Ossoff Hold On to His Seat?
He’s the most vulnerable incumbent in the Senate race, and his state is ground zero for the new Jim Crow attacks on voting rights.

The Trump administration is now refusing payouts for US soldiers who died in the US-Israeli war against Iran "because it isn't a war." Libby Klinner, widow of 33-year-old Maj Alex Klinner, says the US Air Force deemed her ineligible for additional benefits following her husband's death because

SOP for ICE is to instantly accuse any motorist of "trying to run them over." They have been told in training that on the basis of this accusation, they can respond with lethal force if they like. And there are now dozens of well documented cases involving exactly the same false claims.

In the European view, the fact that Donald Trump could be elected president twice and still command over 35% popular support after engaging in depraved, reckless and corrupt conduct is stark evidence of long-term institutional disintegration inside the US. The country is no longer a desirable ally.

So, so instructive to compare media response to Afghanistan withdrawal -- months of hysterical garment-rending & catastrophizing, relentless criticism of the admin -- with the response to an unprovoked, unmotivated, illegal war of aggression, ie, "some critics say maybe Trump should have reasons."
