Trump's White House gutted the Institute of Peace, fired its staff and called it a "bloated, useless entity." Now Trump has renamed the institute he tried to destroy after himself. @aishvaryakavi

Workers installed the president’s name on the Washington institute, thrusting it back into the spotlight as it is set to host the signing of a peace deal between Rwanda and Congo.

1. Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal. You cannot accept millions from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct diplomacy for the U.S. It's right in the Constitution. https://t.co/bNHGVi9ZxU

"All she had to do..." GTFO. She should not have "had" to do anything because we don't live in a freaking police state. Why are there so many people who want the government boot on their neck all the time?

@David_J_Bier So Grok said she refused to provide identification to the police. So she was removed from her vehicle while they searched for any form of ID and then she was released. All she had to do was show her DL when when was pulled over and she refused.

We now have a Population Control Police statement claiming: “She refused to cooperate and identify herself with all levels of law enforcement there." She shouldn't have to! We don't live in a police state. We desperately need to give these people new employment.

A US citizen woman screams: "I'm a US citizen. Please help me. Why are you doing this?" Population Control Police manhandled her, brought her to the ground, handcuffed, loaded her into a vehicle. Later released her. Kavanaugh stop or something worse? -12/3/25

J.D. Vance’s man in the Pentagon is a rare Trump appointee who commands bipartisan respect and affection. Naturally, this doesn’t sit well with his boss, Pete Hegseth, who doesn’t.

How does the Kremlin see Steve Witkoff? “Witkoff sometimes works like a broken telephone,” the source close to the Kremlin said. “He doesn’t like being precise, doesn’t like anyone writing anything down. He gets upset when people try to write down what he says.” My latest.
