- ❌ No Ukraine-Russia meeting scheduled for now, says Turkish foreign ministry
- This points to Putin using peace talks as a ploy, as reports he's building up his military forces in Ukraine for a last ditch push to topple the nation. Trump is looking the Kremlin dupe more clearly everyday in believing Putin. Rumors of a quid pro quo are looking more evident.
- 🗿 US warns of looming Russian offensive in Ukraine – CNN
- It is imperative Trump let Ukraine continue to receive military aid to withstand this last ditch effort of Putin's. The war in Russia creating discord after all these years, and not supporting Ukraine only helps Putin. The world sees Trump abandonment, and America, only hatred in democracy's fall.

- Rich, Qatar is giving America foreign aid? So why is he giving it to Donald Trump. We don't give foreign aid to the head of the country assisting, but to the people. The nation's leaders doesn't then put it in his library to use as he pleases.
- TODAY: The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral argument in three lawsuits challenging the nationwide injunctions that blocked President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship from taking effect. Background: www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
- Trump rewriting the Constitution and what words mean. No different from George Orwell in the novel, 1984, called Newspeak. Trump's saying persons born here now a divisible class, and not as the Founding Fathers and courts long intended. If you don't like it, pass an amendment, don't lie about it.
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visibly lost his temper during a Senate hearing as Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) confronted him with promises he made to respect public health and not interfere in vaccine approval during his confirmation hearing, only to change his tune the second he got into office.
- What did Murphy expect, he's one of Trump's boys now, consistency is not a given. Behind the words are his true intent, the way Trump uses them we saw on the 2024 campaign trail. The world is in an uproar over Trump, and here, but it just rolls off his back.

- Yes, money does make him glow. I'm sure he's feeling particularly healthy today as he does quid pro quo understandings in person. Sure Eric and Don Jr. have them all lined up, and he's feeling good closing them going from country to country.
- Trump wants to weaken protections against forever chemicals in drinking water
- Trump doesn't give a damn about any of this. It's all about which industrial lobbyists got to him with quid pro quo. Everything he's reversing from health regulations to coal mine safety are part of payoffs. He's going to end up with sh*t load of Boeing 747 planes in his hanger down at Mar-a-Largo.
- U.S. House panel passes GOP plan that cuts Medicaid by $625B, adds work requirement minnesotareformer.com/2025/05/14/r...
- So Republicans are fine letting people die and suffer because they can't find work, reason for most in the situation. When are found on the street, States spend more money nursing their recovery. The GOP is taking us back to days of life in The Great Depression. All to give tax cuts for the rich.

- Damn right Trump's grifting backfiring on the GOP. He never passes up to screw the people to get a buck back. We get to refurbish the used Qatar plane, spend reportedly a billion dollars, and he gets to own it when leaves office, all because he found loopholes. If something is shady, Trump is there
- The Kyiv Independent spoke with five foreign volunteers who came to fight for Ukraine about their motivation, battlefield experiences, and plans for the future.
- How is what's happening here not similar to the Spanish Civil War? Volunteers from other nations joined the fight with Hitler and Franco on one side, and Republicans backed by communists and national volunteers. It had the same feel as Ukraine does today.
