    Putin is happy to talk peace so long as Trump agrees to Russia’s 2022 demands. Otherwise, Trump has nothing to scare Putin with. Don’t get me wrong, it’s hardly a bad thing that Trump wants to talk.

    Should be interesting to see who if anyone runs against her in the 2026 Republican primary when the seat will be filled through an election for the remaining two years of Senator Rubio's term. Adding the caveat that I'm not that familiar with Florida Republican politics it's not beyond the realm of possibility that Moody could be a placeholder and could end up running for the governorship in 2026 with Ron DeSantis running for the Senate seat.

    Interesting possibility. I'm in your boat, don't have a good feel on Florida politics.

    There is a thought in Fl that Moody will switch with DeS. in 2026.

    If he could have voted for himself, it would have been a 100-0 vote.

    State Department Reverses Near-Full Stop of Foreign Aid

    The Trump administration pulled back from its order to pause nearly all foreign aid, and will now exempt “core life saving programs” that involve medicine, medical services, food and shelter, according to a Tuesday memo from Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

    A Jan. 24 State Department directive had called for a broad suspension of foreign assistance while the agency carried out a three-month review of aid programs.
    ..........................
    While aid experts welcomed Tuesday’s memo, they noted that the State Department directive still pauses other programs unless specific waivers are granted.

    “This waiver demonstrates the vital importance of continuing humanitarian assistance programs,” said Robert Nichols, an attorney for contractors and nongovernmental organizations. “But it should go further to exempt global de-mining, anti-terrorism cooperation, democracy building and other programs.”

    He’s a spineless jellyfish funded by gambling money.

    I think he likes money and does and says exactly what he thinks is best for him to keep himself in play. Unfortunately that’s probably as good as it gets in the GOP.

    Marco Rubio confused journalist Germán Dam for an actual dam

    Rubio tweeted about the news over the weekend — claiming in a now-deleted tweet that the blackout was caused by “another transformer explosion at the German Dam in Bolivar State.” But the tweet got a big thing wrong: This was not due to problems at Venezuela’s “German Dam.” Germán Dam, instead, is the name of a journalist who reported the story about the power outages.
