Trump Blindsides Staff and Congress
President Donald Trump surprised some of his own staff Wednesday when he endorsed a House budget that would gut Medicaid, hours after pledging that the safety net program ‘isn’t going to be touched.’
The comments sent aides scrambling to figure out what Trump meant and which Medicaid cuts he would be willing to accept, according to three people granted anonymity to discuss the action happening behind closed doors. The potential Medicaid reductions — an option to help pay for Trump’s wide-ranging tax, energy and border agenda — are triggering a backlash from Republican lawmakers whose constituents rely on the program.

What to Make of Trump’s Total Capitulation to Putin
Back in December, during his transition to the White House, I wrote, “Donald Trump probably isn’t a Russian agent, but he wouldn’t be behaving much differently if he were.” I was sneering a bit when I typed that out two months ago. Now I’m scowling. Things have become very serious.
Trump’s obeisance to Vladimir Putin’s views has raised suspicions on many occasions over the past decade, but his outright kowtowing remarks at a news conference Tuesday were enough to set off sirens.
In less than a minute’s time, Trump blamed Ukraine for starting the war, claimed Ukraine could have made a deal to stop the war soon after it began, and accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of being an illegitimate leader who didn’t deserve a seat at the table in Riyadh, where U.S. and Russian diplomats asserted the exclusive rights to negotiate a peace.
Not only were all these statements false, they parroted Kremlin propaganda, which Trump likely heard from Putin himself.

Republicans Are Mum After Trump Turns on Ukraine
As President Trump makes an abrupt pivot toward Russia, upending generations of American foreign policy, he is also defying members of his own party in Congress, many of whom have spent their careers arguing for a hawkish stance against Moscow and strong backing for allies in Europe facing its most immediate threats.
But the response from Republicans on Capitol Hill has been muted, in some cases to the point of silence. There has been little G.O.P. pushback on Mr. Trump’s efforts to draw closer to President Vladimir Putin of Russia or blame Ukraine as he seeks to bring a quick end to the war that began when Russia invaded the country.

Senate Republican Acknowledges That This Might All Be Very Illegal
President Trump’s latest rhetoric on the Ukraine war isn’t just aligned with Vladimir Putin—it’s a direct echo.
In a stunning reversal of U.S. policy, Trump is now blaming Ukraine for Russia’s invasion, calling its democratically elected president a dictator, and praising a Russian leader who silences, jails, and even has his political opponents thrown out of windows or poisoned.

As long as Eric Adams refuses to resign, New Yorkers must contemplate other options, including—but not limited to—intervention by the state’s governor.
Trump DOJ Tries To Bully Its Way To End Of Eric Adams Prosecution
I last saw attorney Emil Bove one month ago, when he was representing his client, then-President-elect Donald Trump, at his New York state court sentencing in early January.
On Wednesday, Bove was down the street at the federal courthouse, and had a new, bigger title. He’s the acting Deputy Attorney General. But after watching Bove argue before a federal judge that the DOJ should be allowed to proceed with dropping its prosecution of New York City mayor Eric Adams, it was entirely clear: he is still Trump’s lawyer.
Trump Orders the VA to Scrub Veteran Medical Record Note Templates
The Trump administration is changing the way medical professionals at the Department of Veterans Affairs can chart in Veterans electronic health record by removing prohibited language.
There was a time, not too long ago, when America stood as the beacon of freedom, the defender of democracy, and the steadfast ally of those who resisted oppression. We weren’t perfect—far from it—but we tried to stand for something bigger than ourselves.
Yet today, as I watch the behavior of our political leaders, the comments of an ever-increasingly unhinged Trump, and the growing indifference of many Americans toward our role in the world, I have to ask a painful question: Are we now the bad guys?
