Wait till the White House starts directing the Marshals Service not to protect judges who rule against the Administration. I’d bet good money that’ll happen at some point.

French President Macron says in a primetime address to his nation that Europe must be prepared to go it alone in defending Ukraine, without further assistance from the U.S. under the Trump administration.

The idea is that Ukraine should trust Russia enough to make peace but the same people who push Ukraine to trust Russia are not willing to deploy troops to Ukraine to protect the peace, because they don't trust Russia.

"All they've done is give concessions to Vladimir Putin." @mcfaulmike.bsky.social on Trump and Vance bullying Zelensky. "The evidence so far suggests that all he wants to do is have a new relationship with Putin and whether there is peace in Ukraine or not is a secondary matter..."

Remember: the televised punishment & humiliation meted out to Zelensky just now could be done to any NATO ally facing similar aggression. The sense of sneering hostility & contempt by Trump & Vance isn’t specific to Ukraine.

An absolutely disgraceful moment from Trump and Vance. Angrily attacking Zelenskyy, a US ally and wartime leader defending his country, as if he’s the aggressor while publicly siding with Russia, who was unilaterally responsible for this deadly invasion.

There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt says the White House will now decide who’s in the press pool that travels with Trump. That duty has long been decided by the press itself as a rotation. This means details of Trump’s interactions w people — especially embarrassing ones — are likely to be sanitized.
