On October 16, 2019, I told Donald Trump, “With you, Mr. President, all roads lead to Putin.”
On October 16, 2026, Trump signed an executive order waiving new sanctions on Russia passed by bipartisan majorities in Congress and signed into law just last month.
This decision insults America’s commitment to democracy and our brave men and women in uniform, as Russia helps Iran target American forces.
I join Republican senators in condemning this unconscionable capitulation to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians.
As I have asked for years: What does Putin have on Trump that he would sell out America’s values?
This is good news

White House issued its gushing take on the Xi visit. Lots of photos of pomp, nada on substance. "Very productive," yet no specifics. Farmers will be "happy," yet they haven't seen sales Trump claimed in May when he went to Beijing. Nada on trade, currency or China's aid to Iran.

Trump in 2011: "We have the president of China come a few months ago to Washington and we gave him a state dinner. Now, when people are screwing you, you don't give them state dinners, you don't do it.”

Chris Murphy: "On April 30 -- a Thursday -- Reynolds, one of the biggest tobacco countries in the country, makes an $8 million donation to the president. Two days later on Saturday, they have lunch with the president and tell him they want a change in FDA rules, especially regarding flavored vapes. The presidents calls the FDA commissioner and secretary of HHS, and three days later, on Tuesday, new guidance is issued that paves the way to the sale of flavored vapes. That is not a coincidence."

And so here we are. This statement from Trump blows my mind. That a sitting president would not let any renovations to a public building go on unless he gets to first put his name in the said building… What a sad state of affairs. What a tragedy. Actually, how small minded, how narcissistic. Actually
great men, devoted to public service and the public good do not act like this.
It seems that this man will not rest until his name is permanently connected to the name of a great president, whose memory this building was dedicated to. Imagine spending your time and your days focused on this, as everyday Americans struggle with healthcare, gas prices, rent, and food. Imagine spending your days focused on this, while a war rages under your leadership.
Enough said. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Some ground isn’t for building on.
Arlington National Cemetery is the final resting place of more than 400,000 service members and their families. A 250-foot arch, with a tourist observation deck, would go up at its entrance, changing that ground forever.
Families bury their dead there every weekday. Construction could run three years, 20 hours a day, close to those services.
Veterans are in federal court right now trying to stop it. Before the commission votes, you can help:
→ File a public comment with the commission
→ Call your representative and your senators

This isn’t about politics. It’s about letting a burial ground stay a burial ground. @OfTheBraveUSA

Column: Sadly, 25 years after 9/11, Trump has the US mired again in a Mideast war against a nation—Iran—that was the real winner of the prior needless war in Iraq, Iran's old rival. This after he's purged the US counterterrorism defenses built since 9/11.

Not to add to the discourse, but…
It’s ‘toe the line,’ not ‘tow the line.’
It’s ‘free rein,’ and not ‘free reign.’
It’s ‘eke out,’ not ‘eek out.’
It’s ‘sleight of hand,’ not ‘slight of hand.’
It's ‘Anchors aweigh,’ and not ‘Anchor's away!’
