Trump just blamed Ukraine outright for Russia’s invasion. ‘You shoulda never started it,’ he said. What a lie, a Russian lie—from the President of the US.

When civil society institutions — big law firms, Ivy League institutions — cave to Trump rather than fight what appear to be illegal demands, do they expect him to be satisfied and stop? Do they believe others should step in and fight where they have not?

Didn't take long to get to this...

Trump is strikingly unpopular at both ends of the economic spectrum (via @wsj)

Some nutty stuff in @maggieNYT @jonathanvswan book on Trump's failed effort to end Ukraine war, including Witkoff returning from Kremlin w/signed Putin doodle memorializing the "3+2" land for peace deal they wanted to force on Kyiv. Witkoff, touting "personal chemistry" with Putin, framed it.
