If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

1. Trump’s new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, says she is a lawyer. She has claimed to be a lawyer repeatedly on national TV, on podcasts, and on social media. But there is no evidence that Zacharia has ever been licensed to practice law.

I'm sure the Kremlin was delighted we voted to leave the EU, but I also think it's passing the buck to blame it on Russian interference. Russia's role in Brexit was tiny compared to that of unscrupulous hedgies, ambitious politicians and decades of lies from right wing newspapers.

Trump and Hegseth’s barbaric plan to livestream an execution made me think about past incidents in U.S. history, including the 1916 elephant hanging. A circus elephant named Mary went on a rampage in Erwin, TN, killing a man. Angry townspeople hanged the elephant as a crowd of thousands watched.

"a mischievous youth stands behind Van Buren thumbing his nose" loc.harpweek.com/LCPoliticalC...

"A HARD ROAD TO HOE! Or, the White House Turnpike, macadamized by the North Benders."

Printed image satirizing Martin Van Buren and his run for re-election as president in 1840. Description from the website:

"A crude satire on the obstacles facing Van Buren's reelection effort in 1840. Weighed down by a large bundle labeled "Sub Treasury," Van Buren follows the lead of Andrew Jackson toward the White House. His way is blocked by barrels of "Hard Cider" and log cabins, symbolizing the popular appeal of Harrison's candidacy. In the right distance the Capitol is visible, and in the left distance Van Buren's home at Kinderhook. A mischievous youth stands behind Van Buren thumbing his nose."
