Trump’s Plan to Sell Out Ukraine to RussiaDonald Trump said on the campaign trail that he would make peace between Ukraine and Russia in a day. Three months later, he’s behind schedule, and his plan now is to end the fighting quickly by selling out Ukraine and its people to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The proposal that Trump, Vice President J. D. Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are pushing is not a framework for peace, but a rich and bloody reward to Moscow for three years of aggression and war crimes.The Russians might do some performative caviling, but the Americans are offering Putin a dream of a deal. If Trump has his way, Washington will lift sanctions against Russia; both sides will accept a cease-fire in place (leaving Russian troops on newly conquered Ukrainian territory), and the United States will agree to recognize Crimea as part of Russia…

AOC claims ‘We are one’ in campaign-style video despite years of invoking race, gender i…Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., posted a campaign-style video on social media this week that sparked rumors about her political future. But conservatives quickly struck up a different conversation when she claimed, “We are one,” after years of criticism for playing identity politics. “Don’t let them trick us into thinking we are enemies. Don’t let them trick us into thinking we can be separated into rural and urban, Black and white and Latina. We are one,” Cortez said in the video that’s amassed over 7 million views. While Ocasio-Cortez seems to imply Republicans are seeking to divide America based on race, the four-term New York congresswoman has a long track record of invoking race in politics. The words highlighted in Ocasio-Cortez’s video this week spotlight a fixture of her developing stump speech to record-setting crowds alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.,…

Trump Stuns Time Magazine With Outlandish Claim When They Confront Him on Zero Trade DealsPresident Donald Trump drew a double-take from his Time Magazine interviewers with an outlandish claim when they challenged him for not having announced a single trade deal since his tariff rollout. The magazine published a profile of Trump pegged to the 100th day of his second term in office, which included an interview conducted by Time Senior Political Correspondent Eric Cortellessa and Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs that contained many newsworthy exchanges. One extended passage about trade began with a reference to Peter Navarro’s claim, in a Meet the Press interview, that the U.S. could make  “90 deals in 90 days” during Trump’s pause on tariffs. When confronted with the fact that there are “zero deals so far,” Trump claimed “I’ve made 200 deals”: TIME: Your trade adviser, Peter Navarro, says 90 deals in 90 days is possible….
