JD picks up the Trump mantle and stakes it all on MAGA. I love it for him.
JD Vance just held an outrageous news conference in which he defended Ramaswamy's vile attacks on Amy Acton, agreed with Steve Witkoff's assessment of Putin as a "humanitarian," and had the gall to claim "there is no person who hates the idea of people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the government than Donald J Trump"
Here's a supercut:

In what world is Putin a "humanitarian?” He's assassinated political rivals and journalists, bombed hospitals, and started a war that has intentionally killed tens of thousands of innocent people, including women and children. He's a war criminal.

Can we arrest @SteveWitkoff
Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff just told Putin he is a humanitarian.
This is completely fucking insane.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The ICC issued an arrest warrant against Putin for crimes against children in 2023.

UNBELIEVABLE: Russian state-run media is now broadcasting footage of Trump administration official Steve Witkoff calling Vladimir Putin a “HUMANITARIAN.”
Yes, a HUMANITARIAN.
Let’s review who Witkoff is praising:
- Invaded Ukraine, unleashing a devastating war that has killed thousands of civilians and displaced millions.
- Oversaw the unlawful deportation of Ukrainian children, resulting in an International Criminal Court arrest warrant against him.
- Presided over a military responsible for massacres of civilians, including atrocities in Bucha.
- Devastated Mariupol, where Russian forces bombed a theater sheltering civilians, including children.
- Ordered widespread attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, leaving millions without electricity and heat during freezing winters.
- Oversaw a regime responsible for systematic torture, rape, and other war crimes in occupied Ukrainian territory.
Imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who subsequently died in a Russian prison.
- Backed brutal bombing campaigns in Syria, where Russian and Syrian forces repeatedly attacked hospitals and civilian areas.
- Crushed political dissent, imprisoning critics, independent journalists, and antiwar protesters.
And now, because Putin released an American imprisoned in Russia for more than four years, Trump’s envoy is praising him as a humanitarian.
There’s a reason Russian propaganda outlets are broadcasting this footage.
When the Kremlin can use the words of an American official to rehabilitate the image of an accused war criminal, something has gone terribly wrong.
Putin isn’t a humanitarian. He’s a dictator wanted by the International Criminal Court. And the Trump administration just handed him a propaganda victory.

My take: Putin gave up nothing by releasing a 74-year-old American held as a pawn for this type of moment. Putin is not a humanitarian, despite how Mr Witkoff addressed him. And whereas President Trump says he gave up nothing for Stephen Hubbard's release, you will hear all the experts correctly say that he did: busting his own sanctions for a diesel deal with Putin that could put $4 billion into his war chest; inviting Putin to the G20; and dumping Putin's victim, Ukraine, face down in the mud, as it tries to defend its sovereignty and its freedom. You’ve heard the historians call all this appeasement, going against America's own democratic values.

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

U.S. Senator Chris Murphy: "Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia."
At what point can we call Donald Trump a Traitor to the United States?

Trump: “russia, frankly, has treated Ukraine pretty well. They haven’t really done much.”
What an absolute piece of shit.

Vladimir Putin appears to have concluded that he cannot win the war in Ukraine on the battlefield. His strategy now is to grind Ukraine down. How scandalous that Donald Trump has become his best weapon economist.com/leaders/2026/1…

Trump has always been in Putin's pocket. @realDonaldTrump is a traitor.
Seems like a perfect time to re-up this. Celebs reading direct excerpts from The Mueller Report (and a few regular folks) that we aired on local TV in key battleground states in 2019-2020.

A reminder that Republicans are enabling what Trump cozying up to Putin, and abandoning Ukraine, including the death of Ukrainian civilians because of blockage of Starshield..
At the drop of a hat, Speaker Johnson and Majority Leader Thune could reconvene our Congress and block him. Republicans are complicit in this!
Fortunately, we have an election in 15 days. Clearly, Republicans are not fit to lead, and they should all be thrown out.

In fact, Russian attacks have been killing Ukrainian civilians daily - and attacks have accelerated since Trump took office.
Donald Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much."

Same day a Russian drone killed six civilians, including children, in a Kharkiv region park. Overnight strikes cut power to 550,000 households. Ukrainian civilian casualties up 85% y/y in September.

It's been a good week for Putin. In recent days, Trump has:
* Struck a diesel deal lifting some sanctions
* Restricted Starshield for Ukraine
* Cut intel warnings of Russian missile launches against Ukraine for several days
* Canceled Lindsey Graham sanctions
* Demanded Ukraine dump Zelensky
* Absolved Russia for helping Iran fight the US
* Pushed Europe to resume buying Russian gas
