Today, we had important talks with our American partners and with our other partners from Europe. Steve Witkoff was also here with us in Oslo, and Jared Kushner joined us online.
Ukraine immediately supported American proposal for an energy ceasefire. But Russia responded by continuing its attacks. We offered different options. We are ready not to hit sensitive parts of Russia’s energy sector if Russia stops hitting ours. Putin said no. But we’re working to find a solution.
We have some clear ideas on how to get to peace. And we are united with our European partners in this effort, and we want the Americans to take these ideas to the Russians. One of the important ideas is to move to a potential trilateral meeting of the leaders to address the issues that only the leaders can do.
Steve is going to Russia tomorrow. Let’s see what Putin has to say.
Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine and stands for peace.
From a joint press conference with Jonas Gahr Støre and Alex Stubb.

BREAKING: We’re demanding all communications between DHS and Meta that may relate to the removal, suspension, and restriction of the No Kings account.
The public deserves transparency.
We're opening an investigation into this censorship.

A former UN official just said what the world needed to hear.
Alice Jill Edwards served as the UN's Independent Expert on torture from 2022 to 2026. She spent her career defending Palestinian refugees, led proceedings before Europe's highest court to protect them.
And yet, in a bombshell opinion piece in Britain's Daily Telegraph, she accuses two of her most prominent UN colleagues - Francesca Albanese, the UN rapporteur on Palestinian territories, and Reem Alsalem, the UN rapporteur on violence against women - of deliberately ignoring Hamas's sexual violence on October 7, 2023, calling their conduct one-sided, politically motivated, and a betrayal of the victims.
"They never formally documented these horrors, despite the growing body of evidence which to most of us is indisputable, but which they dispute."
She also takes direct aim at UN Secretary-General António Guterres, saying he has "failed to carry out the original mandate of the UN" and adopted a "fatalistic posture" while wars rage around the world.
When Edwards published her own report on October 7, only one other UN special rapporteur agreed to sign it. Others refused. Some tried to have material removed entirely. This is not coming from Israel. This is coming from inside the UN itself.
No, no, NO!! Not Zuckerberg! Not Mark Zuckerberg!! He wouldn't even THINK of taking advantage of his countless customers. No, he wouldn't have anything 2 do with those wanting 2 take advantage of his customers, either.
Yeah, well, maybe he HAS done something that is taking advantage of his countless customers.

$600+ million for a ballroom while families decide between heating and groceries. Trump can't lower your bills because he's put hundreds of millions into his vanity project.

UNBELIEVABLE! #trump is aiding #Russia 2 defeat & destroy #Ukraine, and, apparently, our illustrious #Republican controlled #Congress is letting him do so. WHOSE SIDE IS #trump ON? Whose side is our #Congress on? Oh, yeah, "OUR" #Republican controlled #Congress is on the side of #trump (their controller).
Do U want #Russia 2 bring #Ukraine 2 its knees? Our President DOES!! We KNOW whose side #trump is on, but Whose side R WE on?
#Ukraine's side -I hope.
Within the past two weeks, President Trump took a slew of actions that favor Russia and disadvantage Ukraine, raising alarm among some of America’s allies and lawmakers that his latest bid to broker peace between the two will benefit a longtime U.S. adversary. nbcnews.com/politics/white-h…

If it's something which #trump wants 2 do, it is probably something we [most of us] don't want him 2 do. I often find myself wondering "When does that man have the time 2 do the business of "#America" when he is so busy doing the business of #trump?"
IS IT TRUE (?) I wonder, that a person who (4 his own personal [selfish??] reasons), does in any way, shape, or form, hinder, intentionally, a struggling democracy [such as, 4 example, #Ukraine] from defending itself against an, obviously, unprovoked aggressor nation [such as #Russia (4 example)] is on the side of the aggressor nation? It must B nice 2 B a (the) single person on the face of our planet able 2 make decisions that determine the fate of this whole entire world and along with every single person living on this, OUR [WELL, IT USED 2 B "OUR"] planet.
[If I suddenly disappear from X [formerly (and better) known as Twitter]] it is this very post of mine that likely is the very straw that breaks the tolerance back of the power (the person) who B. Look 4 me on SubStack should that happen.

#Ramaswamy Takes Responsibility [b/c he was caught doing it] 4 airing a DISGUTING video ad featuring Amy Acton’s MOTHER accusing Amy of lying when, as a 12 year old, she claimed that she had been raped by her stepfather -her MOTHER'S OWN husband [sadly, Amy's mother is not the 1st wife of a daughter's stepfather who could not/would not admit 2 such a ghastly wrong doing by her own husband]. And, so, #Ramaswamy is using that DISGUSTING MISINFORMATION AD [Amy's stepfather WAS FOUND GUILTY!!! OF RAPING Amy!!!] 2 discredit Amy. DON'T fall 4 #Ramaswamy's lies. U R BETTER THAN THAT.
I believe that voters should look at it this way: Do U REALLY WANT 2 ELECT A MAN 2 represent U in public office WHO INTENTIONALLY USES MISINFORMATION 2 WIN YOUR VOTE?
A MAN [we R talking of #Ramaswamy here] WHO LIES 2 U in order 2 get in2 a PUBLIC OFFICE will lie 2 U while he (#Ramaswamy) is IN that public office.
A vote 4 #Ramaswamy is, simply and undoubtedly, a vote 4 a VERY CROOKED PERSON, and crooked IS as crooked DOES. U vote 4 him, he laughs at U.

Across multiple states, the GOP has sought to weaken institutions limiting its power.
In N.C., legislators stripped authority from Dem. governors.
In Wisconsin, Republicans threatened to impeach a Supreme Court justice to protect gerrymandered maps.
