Putin has made it clear he doesn’t see Ukrainians as an independent nation. Until that belief changes, tragically, this war is likely to continue. His negotiators have given little indication that they’re prepared to engage seriously in peace talks

No matter how this war ends, Trump will claim victory. But most Americans still don’t know why we went to war or what the objectives are. Without clear goals, how can we measure success? We "obliterated" their nuclear program last year, so what threat justified war now?

Putin has lied his entire career. Yet Witkoff says we can take Russia “at their word” that they’re not sharing intelligence with Iran. Taking the Kremlin at face value while U.S. intelligence reportedly says otherwise is utterly incomprehensible and mind-boggling naive.

NATO is for mutual defense, not a blank check for fighting other people’s wars. Its essence is prevention, not intervention. The alliance was designed to deter conflict, not to seek it out.

The Cold War wasn’t just an arms race, it was a race of ideas. We invested in international development agencies & soft power tools to compete. Dismantling them as China expands its Belt and Road Initiative, and Russia expands its own global influence operations, is unilateral disarmament.

In 2018, after the Trump-Putin summit in Helsinki, I learned Russia wanted to interrogate me (and others) in exchange for US investigators questioning 12 Russian intelligence officers over electoral interference in 2016. The White House took nearly a day to reject the proposal.

Trump is out of step with most Americans on Greenland. For any politician thinking of backing his crazy idea, that should matter. Voters don't want this.

Trump isn’t unique in opposing an Iranian nuclear weapon. Obama worked with China, Russia, and our allies on a deal with real limits and inspections—and a decade later, Iran still didn’t have a nuclear bomb. Now Trump is taking a military approach. Will it work better?

Three decades ago, democracy looked unstoppable. Today, Russia and China are rewriting the rules. My latest book, Autocrats vs. Democrats: China, Russia, America and the New Global Disorder lays out how we got here—and how the U.S. should respond. www.amazon.com/Autocrats-vs...

So far, this trip feels heavy on pageantry and light on substance. Plenty of cordial exchanges, but few tangible deliverables. Maybe that changes tomorrow. But at the moment, Trump seems to view a good meeting with Xi as the goal itself.

When we think about our next governor, we need someone with the lived experience of growing up working class, legislative experience and experience overseeing a state department. I’m that person.

Trump's tariffs cost the average family $1,700 last year, with higher prices on everything from groceries to electronics, clothes, and shipping. Now, the corporations that passed on higher costs from tariffs to consumers are set to get the refunds, leaving consumers empty-handed.

It's unacceptable that there haven't been prosecutions, and that former AG Pam Bondi continues to engage in this cover-up. Oversight Dems demand she come in, testify under oath, and that her filmed testimony is released to the public. The survivors deserve nothing less.

Russia proudly announced that "exhaustive security measures" had been taken ahead of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum. Just hours later, the security measures had indeed been exhausted for St. Petersburg.

I urged all members to reject the removal of the Digital Services Tax. Letting US big tech off the hook means walking away from $7.2B that could fund public services and infrastructure. We should not be abandoning Canadian policy simply because of pressure from Donald Trump.
