Trump Repeats Disputed Putin Claim That He Has Ukrainian Troops 'COMPLETELY SURROUNDED': 'This Would Be a Horrible Massacre'

...“We had very good and productive discussions with President Vladimir Putin of Russia yesterday, and there is a very good chance that this horrible, bloody war can finally come to an end — BUT, AT THIS VERY MOMENT, THOUSANDS OF UKRAINIAN TROOPS ARE COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY THE RUSSIAN MILITARY, AND IN A VERY BAD AND VULNERABLE POSITION,” wrote Trump on Truth Social. “I have strongly requested to President Putin that their lives be spared. This would be a horrible massacre, one not seen since World War II. God bless them all!!!”

Today we mark the Ukrainian Military Volunteer Day—the day of thousands of Ukrainians who have carried our state and independence on their shoulders.

The very desire to defend Ukraine, the motivation to be a warrior and defender, the strength of our army, and the results achieved in the battles for Ukraine—all of this is the most important security guarantee for Ukraine, the strongest pillar of our statehood.

I am proud of all Ukrainian warriors. I thank everyone who defends Ukraine. We must always honor, and will continue to honor, all Ukrainian heroes from different times who fought for Ukraine. - Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Dear God. There Are No Words...

Tesla billionaire Elon Musk shared a post on his platform X this week that declared Hitler “didn’t murder millions of people,” but that public employees did.

Musk shared the post Thursday from an account named “TheAliceSmith” without comment, but was clearly trying to hype his work at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, which has fired thousands of federal employees.

The celebrity doctor’s confirmation hearing is underway as he has been appointed the leader of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. He wants to reduce soaring health care costs and high obesity rates throughout the country.

SEN. RON WYDEN: Do you believe in a nursing home there should be a registered nurse available around the clock?

DR OZ: As you know, that's a complicated question

WYDEN: No it's not. We need a nurse in a nursing home. Not too complicated.

Costa Rica is dealing with a noticeable drop in tourism, a vital economic driver, as visitor numbers decline in 2025. The Costa Rica Tourism Board (ICT) reports a 1.5% decrease in arrivals in January 2025 compared to January 2024, with North American and European visitors leading the downturn despite a rise in South American travelers...Tourism Minister William Rodriguez attributes the slump to a reduction in airline seats from Europe and the United States...Data backs his claim: seat availability at Juan Santamaría International Airport fell by 8% on average, while Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport in Liberia saw a steeper 19% decline.

Tens of thousands of fired federal workers must be reinstated immediately, judge rules

Tens of thousands of fired federal workers must be reinstated immediately, judge rules

A federal judge on Thursday ordered federal agencies to reinstate tens of thousands of probationary employees who were fired amid President Donald Trump’s turbulent effort to drastically shrink the federal bureaucracy.

U.S. District Judge William Alsup described the mass firings as a “sham” strategy by the government’s central human resources office to sidestep legal requirements for reducing the federal workforce.

Nero fiddled as Rome burned. Trump sold Teslas.

Musk's AI "Grok" calculates Trump is 75-85% likely a Putin/Russian asset:

"Trump’s ego and debts make him unwittingly pliable… Adjusting for uncertainty and alternative explanations (e.g., ideological alignment or naivety), I estimate a 75-85% likelihood Trump is a Putin-compromised asset, leaning toward the higher end due to the consistency of his behavior and the depth of historical ties."

"Russia cannot be trusted."

Apple Inc. is planning a new AirPods feature that allows the earbuds to live-translate an in-person conversation into another language, according to people with knowledge of the matter...the move promises to bring a Star Trek-like experience to AirPods users. The capability will work like this: If an English speaker is hearing someone talk in Spanish, the iPhone will translate the speech and relay it to the user’s AirPods in English. The English speaker’s words, meanwhile, will be translated into Spanish and played back by the iPhone.

Trump Admin to Remaining USAID Staff: Start Shredding Docs

Trump Admin to Remaining USAID Staff: Start Shredding Docs

U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) employees and outside groups are fighting an order from the agency’s leadership to shred and burn its classified documents as well as personnel records.

An email obtained by The Hill sent by USAID’s acting executive secretary instructs remaining employees at the dismantled agencies to “shred as many documents as possible first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break.”

Gee, I wonder what they are trying to hide.

USAID staff apparently spent yesterday shredding classified documents, which appears to violate federal recordkeeping laws. We sent a letter to the National Archives and State Department IG calling on them to act to ensure USAID complies with the law.- Citizens For Ethics

The Vulgarians

President Donald Trump turned the South Lawn of the White House into a temporary Tesla showroom Tuesday in a conspicuous favor to his adviser Elon Musk, the car company’s billionaire CEO.

Tesla delivered five of its vehicles to the White House and parked them on a driveway for Trump to personally inspect, hours after he said on Truth Social that he planned to buy a Tesla to demonstrate his support for Musk and for the slumping company.

I Believe This Is Called Pay for Play

White House adviser Elon Musk has reportedly signaled he wants to give $100 million to entities that are controlled by President Donald Trump’s political operation, according to a New York Times report published Tuesday night.

The report came just hours after Trump and the Tesla CEO appeared outside the White House so the president could promote Tesla vehicles while announcing he was buying at least two of them.

Musk spent nearly $300 million in the last election cycle to return Trump to the White House.
