Tusk may be understandably surprised to learn that the US and Russia have cooked up a text which specifically says European fighter jets will be based in Poland, without actually consulting Poland.

All the decisions concerning Poland will be taken by Poles. Nothing about us without us. When it comes to peace, all the negotiations should include Ukraine. Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.

President Trump’s plan to force Ukraine to give up more territory, to cut its Army by more than half, to never join NATO nor let foreign troops in its territory is an abomination. Freedom loving Americans must tell the President that we reject the worst appeasement seen since

@D1Wheeler Better yet, your point comes on the 162nd anniversary of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. A continuation of living up to the values that liberty IS for all. Men died on the battlefields of the Civil War exemplifying these values. Its not ā€œwoke,ā€ its what Americans should strive for!

Trump: My pollsters said, 'sir, if George Washington and Abraham Lincoln came back from the dead and they aligned and they went for the president, vice president as a combination, you'd be beating them by 25 points.'

This is to me, a great story. It's a story that calls on each of us to live up to the values we proclaim & to fight for the dignity and liberty of everyone! Much better than "the founders fought for liberty and now everyone is free and happy, and everything is perfect!"

I will never understand this attitude. The story of America is one of a transformative idea that came with a great contradiction, a contradiction that subsequent generations would fight to correct. Our revolution is continuous as we strive to live up to our founding creed!

The 2nd episode was awful. Every good thing said about George Washington was essentially followed up with "but… he still owned slaves". Maybe 1/3 of the entire episode was focused on racial issues, even while covering major events like Bunker Hill, the Battle of Quebec and

The ā€œdon’t tread on me crowdā€ now wants you to carry your papers at all times and be prepared to be stopped and questioned for no reason but the color of your skin. They’ve never been against overreach. They just want it to overreach against the people they’re bigoted toward.

New: Charlotte NC The immigration inspection is actually very simple. When a federal agent approaches you and ask you if you’re an American citizen just answer yes or no and be prepared to show proof. Very simple.

Nobody ever moves for any reason other than their job made them move or to be closer to family when they have kids. People don’t even move when their houses are going to be underwater. Let’s stop ā€˜I’m going to move if this election goes this way’ as a genre of complaining

There are a lot of MAGA people online admitting that Trump is betraying them and if you dunk on these people you are very likely terrible at politics. Politics is about addition, not subtraction.

The New Yorker story is chilling: shutting down USAID has already killed 600,000 people, most of them children. For no reason other than Elon Musk’s ego, Marco Rubio’s complicity, & Republican Members of Congress’ cult-like loyalty to Trump. Devastating. https://t.co/09PYFSEuHV

People absolutely HATE this, but it's true! It's just way better and more important for society for a young couple to be able to buy a larger house and start a family than it is to prioritize older owners hanging on to huge homes they no longer need, memories be damned.

A retired, empty-nester couple feeling pressure to downsize because their property tax keeps rising as their home appreciates—is exactly how the system SHOULD work.

I have a hot take on Friendsgiving. If you’ve been invited to a Friendsgiving, you can’t also host one. You’re one and done. Past couple of years I have been to several Friendsgivings where the core group was the same +/- the margins. This is deeply unserious behavior

Tim Dillon: Things are too expensive. People feel that they're not getting ahead. And the Republican Party, they've lost their goddamn mind. The Democratic Party, which swept New Jersey, swept New York, swept Virginia, they're concentrating on things that matter.

I’m glad Al-Sharaa is turning the page to a new era for Syria & whatever happened with him in the past is in the past but gotta be real with y’all… If a Democrat was hosting him at the White House, it’d be treated like the end of the world.

To the US government’s credit, they do a good job of living up to the founding ā€œno taxation without representationā€. With the exception of DC. DC needs to stop getting taxed or it needs to become a state. Current status quo is inappropriate for the United States.
