Trump’s chief negotiator with Russia is just another Putin appeaser like his boss. He cannot tell the difference between humanitarian and an indicted war criminal for kidnapping Ukrainian children. Witkoff should be removed immediately.

The U.S. envoy’s remarks in Russia sparked fury among Ukraine’s supporters, but they follow President Trump’s strategy for ending the Ukraine war.

Trump continues his quest to bulldoze Big Bend—turning to the Supreme Court after a Bush-appointed judge halted his wrecking ball. Big Bend is a natural border wall and Texas treasure.

Trump told Americans this war would last four to five weeks. Then he said we could be out in two or three weeks. Seven months later, it’s still going.

Now Saudi Aramco’s CEO warns that depleted global oil inventories could take up to two years to rebuild—meaning higher gas prices could outlast the war by years.

Despite the lack of evidence of Russian inference or other foreign involvement in the U.S. election, Trump and his GOP enablers continue to spread baseless claims of voter fraud while simultaneously dismantling the infrastructure that keeps our elections secure.

As we recognize Month, I think of my dear friend Susan Dawson, a local education leader who recently lost her long struggle with this dreaded disease. Like Susan, 1 in 8 women receive a breast cancer diagnosis. As we remember lost loved ones, this is a time to recommit to making breast cancer a preventable disease, not just treatable.

Protecting our climate will protect our wallets. A recent UN report found that reducing emissions and pollution will boost the global economy as people spend less in healthcare costs and are healthier to work and be active in their communities.

Republicans refusal to combat emissions makes everyone worse off. We must act now to prevent dirty air and a growing climate crisis.

Combined action could lift global growth by 2.8% by 2035, report estimates
