This is absolutely vile. Calling Putin a humanitarian is an insult to every Ukrainian who has suffered and died because of his war of aggression.
Witkoff to Putin: “You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian — you are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that.”

The President is emboldening Putin, lengthening the war between Russia and Ukraine and is weakening our alliances in Europe. Bad for America and freedom.

Elon blames the Pentagon, and folks in the Administration blame Elon. We’d like to know truth.
Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military version of Starlink that Ukraine relies on, according to U.S. officials and people familiar with the matter who spoke to The Wall Street Journal. Musk wrote on X after it became public that “any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS.” Trump told reporters Monday he didn’t know who was responsible, “but I would like to find out.”
The Journal reports Musk and Trump spoke by phone soon after the slowdown became public, according to two people, and one said they also discussed it before. Some U.S. officials told the Journal Musk acted unilaterally and Trump did not order retribution against Ukraine.
That conflicts with earlier reports. Reuters reported the order came from inside the White House, and The Telegraph reported Musk proposed it to Trump. A senior U.S. official told Reuters the president made no such request.

I agree. We should reject Lawfare from the right and the left. It is bad for the Constitutional Republic.
Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin says she wants to deter young people from working for Donald Trump. Down this road lies more bitterness and political dysfunction. wsj.com/opinion/elissa-slotk… via @WSJopinion

One Rhino here is friendly. The other RINO is 9-0 and defending Reagan Conservatism values. No apologies. We defend freedom, stand up to bullies like Putin, and embrace the free markets.

Ukraine is getting no warning when Russian ballistic missiles are launched and expected Patriot missiles have been put on hold. Republicans and Democrats on yesterday's call with President Zelensky were livid. We want answers. I thank @jaketapper @TheLeadCNN for having me on.

Russia has been the opposite of fine on Ukraine
Trump again spends the day praising Putin.
"Russia has been frankly fine on Ukraine"
Community note
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.

Trump habitually conflates America’s interests and his own preferences, even when they are patently different — and that’s narcissism, not confusion. | @AndrewCMcCarthy

UNMC is a national leader in infectious disease response & military medical training. From C-STARS to the planned Infectious Disease Air Transport Training Facility, it's been great working together. A win-win that's been great for our community & country.

I'm a conservative. I believe in tradition. I believe in institutions. I believe it's easier to destroy than to create.
The GOP is in a sad state now, but it's worth fighting for, it must be fought for. America needs a liberty loving right of center party.

The reality is Ukraine hitting Russian refineries has not increased the price of diesel in the US. Deregulating, issuing waivers at home, etc will add more oil to the global market. Same with allies.
Ultimately, energy prices will be most helped by unleashing America's domestic production - something President Trump has made great strides in doing.
Russian diesel likely won't make much of an impact - but unfortunately, it will help Putin.

What a dumb take. NATO expansion is not responsible Putin’s aggression and everyone wants the war to end except Putin.
Trump is correct is rejecting the Nato view of the Ukrainian war. I haven't said anything nice about him in a while, since 2/28. But without Nato expansion, there would have been no Ukraine war. Every serious American foreign policy analyst knew this. Settling the war would save lives, the Ukraine hawks simply want it continue, to no good end.

Do people know that this is what Republicans sounded like just a few years ago? Do people calling Trump critics "RINOs" understand that Trump, a Democrat most of his life, long opposed Republican foreign policy?
Trump is VERY WEAK on Putin. And VERY WEAK on Ukraine and democracy. Americans want better. Americans stand for Freedom. We oppose the dictator and hate the war criminal.
