🕊️ Trump and Putin Talk Peace — But Kremlin Rejects Ceasefire Request On May 19, 2025, former President Donald Trump held a two-hour phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin in an effort to negotiate an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine. While Trump called the conversation “excellent” and proposed Vatican-hosted peace talks, the Kremlin flatly refused to pause its military operations. Putin insisted that Ukraine’s NATO ambitions and continued Western military support must be addressed before any ceasefire is possible. This hardline stance dampened hopes of progress — even as Ukraine expressed openness to unconditional peace. Meanwhile, Trump signaled that if negotiations stall, the U.S. may withdraw from its mediator role — a move that has sparked concern among European allies and Kyiv alike. Summary: – Trump proposes peace via Vatican-hosted talks – Putin says “not yet” on ceasefire – Kremlin demands include NATO withdrawal and territorial concessions – Ukraine says Russia is stalling to buy time – U.S. threatens to step back from mediation if progress stalls Hashtags: #UkraineWar #TrumpPutinCall #CeasefireNow #PeaceTalks #Geopolitics #RussiaUkraine #JSA2026 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/19/trump-and-putin-hold-phone-call-but-kremlin-refuses-ukraine-ceasefire

⚖️ Nadine Menendez Found Guilty in 'Gold Bar' Bribery Scandal Nadine Menendez, wife of embattled former U.S. Senator Bob Menendez, has been convicted in a sweeping federal bribery scheme that stunned Washington. The case involved gold bars, envelopes stuffed with cash, and luxury gifts allegedly exchanged for political favors and influence. Prosecutors say Nadine played a central role in brokering deals between her husband and foreign-linked businessmen, using her personal connections to funnel bribes in exchange for access and favors. Nicknamed the "Gold Bar Case," the scandal has rocked the Democratic Party and raised new questions about corruption, foreign influence, and the limits of spousal immunity. #NadineMenendez #BobMenendez #GoldBarScandal #BriberyConviction #Corruption #FederalTrial #PoliticalCorruption #BETTRNews #DCDrama 🔗 Full story: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/nadine-menendez-wife-bob-menendez-convicted-bribery-scheme-2025 https://nypost.com/2025/04/21/us-news/nadine-menendez-wife-of-ex-sen-gold-bar-bob-menendez-convicted-of-sprawling-bribery-scheme/

🧵 BETTR Campaign Post | April 21, 2025 Title: From Naïveté to Realization: The Intentionality Behind Progressive Policies There was a time when I believed that many Democratic policies, though misguided, were the result of ignorance or a lack of foresight. I thought perhaps they were simply turning a blind eye to the unintended consequences of their decisions. However, as we observe the current political landscape, it's becoming increasingly evident that these policies are not just ill-conceived—they are intentionally designed, with outcomes that are both alarming and detrimental to our society. The Tragedy of Rachel Morin: A Case Ignored Consider the heartbreaking case of Rachel Morin, a mother of five from Maryland. In 2023, Rachel was brutally raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, a known MS-13 gang member. Despite the gravity of this crime, the mainstream media provided minimal coverage. Even more concerning, Senator Chris Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador to meet with the deported individual, while Rachel's grieving family received little acknowledgment from their elected officials. meanwhile they prop up and fight to bring a MS13 gang member that courts and his wife deed extremely violent. Mocking Disability: A New Low in Political Discourse In another disturbing incident, Rep. Jasmine Crockett referred to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who uses a wheelchair, as "Governor Hot Wheels" during a public event. While she later claimed the comment targeted his policies, the remark was widely perceived as mocking his disability. Such rhetoric not only disrespects individuals with disabilities but also degrades the quality of our political discourse. Targeting Innovation: The Assault on Tesla Tesla, once hailed as a pioneer in electric vehicle innovation, has become a target for vandalism and arson. In recent months, multiple Tesla dealerships across the country have been attacked, with vehicles set ablaze and properties defaced with hateful symbols. These acts coincide with Tesla CEO Elon Musk's collaboration with the White House's Department of Government Efficiency, suggesting a politically motivated backlash against progress and innovation. Meanwhile not one democrat calls for a stop to this illegal action. A Pattern of Prioritizing Criminals Over Victims These incidents are not isolated. They reflect a broader pattern where certain political figures and institutions appear to prioritize the rights of criminals over the safety and dignity of law-abiding citizens. Whether it's the leniency shown towards violent offenders or the silence surrounding victims of heinous crimes, the message is clear: the current trajectory of progressive policies is not only misguided but dangerously intentional. The Decline in Quality of Life in Democrat-Run Territories In recent years, several Democrat-led cities have experienced significant challenges affecting residents' quality of life:​ Homelessness: As of January 2024, the United States saw a record high of 771,480 individuals experiencing homelessness, with urban areas in Democrat-led states like California contributing significantly to this surge. ​ Houston Chronicle Crime Rates: Between 2020 and 2024, Albuquerque, New Mexico, experienced a 20% increase in homicides, highlighting concerns over escalating crime rates in certain Democrat-led cities. Axios ​ Housing Affordability: Democrat-run cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York are among the least affordable for homebuyers, exacerbating economic disparities and housing crises. Fox Business ​ A Call to Action As a Republican and a concerned citizen, I urge all Americans to recognize these patterns and demand accountability. We must advocate for policies that prioritize public safety, respect for all individuals, and the rule of law. It's time to move beyond partisan politics and focus on the well-being of our communities. #BETTR #TurnNYRed #JusticeForRachel #RespectAll #ProtectInnovation 📅 April 21, 2025 https://jsa2026.com

​🚨 Senator Van Hollen Travels to El Salvador to Advocate for Wrongfully Deported Maryland Resident Kilmar Ábrego García​ Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) has embarked on a mission to El Salvador to address the case of Kilmar Ábrego García, a Maryland resident who was mistakenly deported and is currently detained in El Salvador's high-security Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT). This action follows the Trump administration's refusal to comply with a U.S. Supreme Court order mandating Ábrego García's return.​ 🛂 Background on the Deportation Ábrego García, a 29-year-old father of three and a legal U.S. resident, was apprehended by ICE in March 2025, despite a 2019 immigration judge's ruling that protected him from deportation due to credible threats from Salvadoran gangs.​ The Trump administration has labeled him as a member of MS-13, a claim based on a single informant's testimony, which his attorneys contest.​ Despite acknowledging the deportation as an "administrative error," the administration has not taken steps to facilitate his return, leading to legal challenges and public outcry.​ 🇺🇸 Senator Van Hollen's Advocacy Senator Van Hollen has expressed deep concern over the administration's disregard for judicial orders and due process, stating, "If the Trump administration continues to thumb its nose at the federal courts in this case, we're clearly in constitutional crisis territory." ​ He has requested meetings with Salvadoran officials, including President Nayib Bukele, to discuss Ábrego García's situation and advocate for his release. ​ Van Hollen emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring that U.S. residents are not subjected to unlawful deportations.​ 🏛️ Legal and Political Implications U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis has criticized the administration for its inaction, stating that officials "have done nothing at all" to comply with the Supreme Court's directive. ​ The case has sparked broader discussions about the administration's immigration policies and the potential erosion of judicial authority.​ Democratic lawmakers are considering additional measures to hold the administration accountable and prevent similar incidents in the future.​ 📢 Public and International Response Human rights organizations have condemned the conditions at CECOT and called for Ábrego García's immediate release.​ The case has drawn international attention, with critics highlighting the potential violations of international law and human rights standards.​ Public demonstrations and advocacy efforts are ongoing, emphasizing the need for transparency and justice in immigration enforcement.​ #ImmigrationJustice #DueProcess #RuleOfLaw #HumanRights #VanHollen #ElSalvador #KilmarAbregoGarcia #CECOT #USPolitics #ConstitutionalCrisis https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/15/chris-van-hollen-el-salvador-kilmar-abrego-garcia
