With his proposed plan in California, @governor.ca.gov is bringing a bazooka to the knife fight with Trump & his illegal gerrymandering scheme. But there’s opposition in CA to Newsom’s plan & you’d be surprised to hear who it is & why. youtu.be/YKrZqoXBDbo?...

When they talk about "land swaps" to end the Ukraine war, what is being swapped? Is Putin actually giving any Russian territory in exchange for the Ukrainian territory he has seized by force? Wouldn't a more accurate phrase be territorial concessions?

Putin foe Bill Browder calls out Marco Rubio’s flip on Russia: ‘scared of crossing Donald Trump’
Trump’s friendly stance towards Putin, on full display in the recent meeting of the two leaders, doesn’t reflect popular opinion in the U.S., says Putin foe Bill Browder. He recalls that, when he and Russian opposition leader Vladimir Kara-Murza lobbied for the Magnitsky Act in 2012, Marco Rubio was a close ally of theirs, but now, Rubio and elected Republicans are “completely scared of crossing Donald Trump.” "Putin's biggest victory was the meeting itself," adds Kara-Murza, arguing that Trump is undermining international pressure on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

The Alaska summit was more than a failed negotiation; it was a public abdication of American leadership. By rolling out a red-carpet welcome for Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump offered legitimacy to an indicted war criminal and shattered the international consensus of his diplomatic isolation.
