White House envoy Witkoff meets with Putin as deadline looms for Russia to end war




White House envoy Witkoff meets with Putin as deadline looms for Russia to end war
White House envoy Steve Witkoff met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Wednesday, part of a last-ditch effort by the Trump administration to convince the Kremlin leader to make peace in Ukraine ahead of a U.S.-imposed deadline Friday, or face new economic penalties.


Meeting was ‘constructive,’ Kremlin says. Bad News for all others? - Standup4Peace

Texas Messes With Illinois
Texas state House Democrats who left their state to prevent Republicans from passing a new congressional district map were forced to evacuate their hotel after a bomb threat, but officials say everyone is safe,,,.Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) said he’s “aware” of the threats and instructed the Illinois State Police to ensure that public safety is maintained. 
“Threats of violence will be investigated and those responsible will be held accountable,” he said in a post on the social platform X. 









I feel like Trump should pay E. Jean Carroll the $83 MILLION he owes her before buying his ugly-ass gold ballroom.

Ghislaine Maxwell Moves to Block Trump DOJ’s Request to Unseal Grand Jury Transcripts





Ghislaine Maxwell Moves to Block Trump DOJ’s Request to Unseal Grand Jury Transcripts
Ghislaine Maxwell’s defense team is opposing efforts to unseal grand jury transcripts from her trial, arguing it could jeopardize her appeal to the Supreme Court.
“Jeffrey Epstein is dead. Ghislaine Maxwell is not,” Maxwell’s attorney wrote on Tuesday. “Whatever interest the public may have in Epstein, that interest cannot justify a broad intrusion into grand jury secrecy in a case where the defendant is alive, her legal options are viable, and her due process rights remain.”

Trump's Only Tariff Strategy: Under His Thumb.
An array of trade crosscurrents continued Tuesday afternoon. There has been a push for last-minute deals, continued fuzziness on previously announced trade commitments, and an indication from President Trump that a deal to delay tariffs on goods from China is "close."










If you're having a rough day, take solace in the fact that you've never worn a stupid red hat, flown a flag with another man's name on it, or used a maxi pad as an ear warmer.
