I welcome the US-Ukraine talks in Jeddah, notably regarding a ceasefire and resumption of US intelligence and security assistance to Ukraine, but also in humanitarian field. The ball, as always, is in Russia's court. The EU will do its full part to achieve a just and durable peace.

Trump is using the White House to make a commercial for the richest man in the world while Americans’ 401ks are plummeting.

The Grifter-In-Chief is using the White House as a backdrop for a Tesla commercial to help boost Elon’s failing company. This is corruption in broad daylight.

They absolutely could not possibly be clearer that they are going to try to cut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.

First impressions on the US-Ukraine deal are that Ukraine has shown that its always best not to grovel, apologize or become desperate with Trump. He cut their aid, helped kill their people, and they kept fighting with their head held high. They made him look cruel and he blinked

Trump says Elon Musk's Tesla sales could "double" as a result of his work for him, citing the precedent of Goya beans. He lies that the Tesla protests are the work of "paid agitators."

The United States must convince Russia to do this [30-day ceasefire]. That is, we agree, and if the Russians agree, the ceasefire will start at that very moment - President Zelenskyy.

Wait, what? If someone has a green card or is visiting this country on a visa, they can be expelled from the United States for...being critical of US foreign policy and/or national security interests? (Which puts all sane visitors and permanent residents at risk.)

Protesters call for release of activist Mahmoud Khalil www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Trump calls Tesla boycott ‘illegal’ and says he’s buying one to support Musk

Uh oh, Canada, Trump's latest Truth Social screed - "The only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State.", "The artificial line of separation drawn many years ago will finally disappear, and we will have the safest and most beautiful Nation anywhere in the World"

Elon lying about Ukraine? Look at my astonished face.

New — Rashida Tlaib, Mark Pocan, Nydia Velázquez, Delia Ramirez, Ilhan Omar, Jasmine Crockett, Summer Lee, Ayanna Pressley, Lateefah Simon, Al Green, Gwen Moore, André Carson, Nikema Williams, and James McGovern call on the Trump administration to release Mahmoud Khalil:

The Trump administration is trying to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a permanent legal resident of the U.S. who recently graduated from Columbia University, where he helped lead pro-Palestinian protests on campus against Israel’s war efforts in Gaza. Here’s what to know. nyti.ms/3Fhv7of

Ugly, ugly stuff from Mike Johnson. Mahmoud Khalil is an activist, a Columbia University graduate and a green card holder. Not a young terrorist. Not someone simply on a student via, either.

A lot of you don't remember Baghdad Bob, Saddam's info minister, who lied in ridiculous and over-the-top fashion about the progress of the 2003 US invasion up until it was just meters from his studio

Dow is down another 600 points so far today. Dropped 900 yesterday. S&P has shed 9 percent since February.

the Dow, down more than 600 points again today, has lost 3 percent of its value this week

Fox talking head Katie Pavlich: "This is a period of I would say a hangout from the Biden administration ... hangovers are tough for a lot of people, but ultimately you come out." (Note how even the Fox host doesn't really buy it.)

The UN values and principles we adhered to eighty years ago remain the same. Our geopolitical context is changing, but you can count on the EU as the UN’s most reliable partner. Extract from my address at the United Nations Security Council ↓

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION: My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then, "Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

Friends, What are your thoughts on this and how can events develop in the future?

Doug Ford: "It's not even the Republicans I speak to. Behind closed doors, all of them are saying, 'This is crazy, what's he doing.' CEOs of the largest Fortune 500 companies are telling him, 'This does not work. Protectionism doesn't work.'"

Doug Ford: "We will never become the 51st state. Canada is not for sale ... he's taking more money out of Americans' pockets, and for what reason? We're still trying to figure this out."

Given Speaker Johnson’s history of legal work, which he mentions here, I am struck by this response: it’s a lengthy diatribe, but none of it attributes a single crime to Khalil.

Trump announces more tariffs on Canada and says, "The only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State."

Arrest of Palestinian student activist raises alarm about free speech – US politics live

Dear Americans, dear Ukrainians, don’t waste this chance. The whole world is watching you in Jeddah today. Good luck!

Checkmate.

DOJ official says she was fired after opposing the restoration of Mel Gibson’s gun rights www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Hegseth says Pentagon 'does not do climate change crap,' doubling down on ignorance www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Es wird stündlich absurder.

The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. Nonetheless, holy shit. What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.

JUST IN: A federal judge has temporarily blocked Trump administration efforts to deport a Palestinian activist who helped lead protests at Columbia University.

Tusk calls for respect between allies after US-Poland spat over Starlink satellites

True leadership means respect for partners and allies. Even for the smaller and weaker ones. Never arrogance. Dear friends, think about it.

⚡️Ukraine, German arms maker seek to triple IRIS-T air defense supply. Ukraine has signed a memorandum with German defense manufacturer Diehl Defense to triple the supply of IRIS-T air defense systems and missiles, Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said.

The White House, not even DHS, the White House itself apparently, is directly deciding which permanent residents should be detained and deported based on their political speech. If this doesn’t scare you about the state of our democracy and liberties, I don’t know what will.

Armed government agents went to the home of a lawful resident of the United States without a warrant and arrested him over the content of his speech. This is a five-alarm fire for civil liberties.

PiS atakując Sikorskiego, który spokojnie wykłada politykom innego państwa polską rację stanu, traci właśnie resztki narodowej godności. Polityczni i moralni bankruci.

🧵 This is a perfect example of what I've be describing as disordered discourse, and it's threat to democracy. Politicians are afraid to speak openly about key issues. Why? Because disordered discourse has captured the system itself—forcing obedience, punishing dissent, and making truth irrelevant.
