The Week: Ukraine Gets Shut Out from Peace Talks and Slammed by U.S. | National Review

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Trump, influenced also by the pro-natalism of supporters such as Musk, pledged to expand access to it.
54% : The president signed an executive order that finally brings the so-called "independent" agencies into the fold of the executive branch for purposes of regulatory review and administrative oversight.
54% : It's a step that seems mundane, but is vital for the sake of reining in the administrative state.
46% : If the Trump administration wants a legacy of increasing efficiency and cutting government spending, Duffy should strive to be the last secretary of transportation to oversee the current, outdated, government-run ATC system and transition to a private, nonprofit, utility-style ATC system modeled on what has worked in Canada for the past three decades.
40% : To carry out the directive's mandate, Bondi has convened a "weaponization working group," which will prominently feature Trump's personal defense lawyers, whom he has appointed to top DOJ posts (Todd Blanche and Emil Bove), as well as Ed Martin, formerly a lawyer and fundraiser for Capitol-riot defendants, whom Trump has installed as interim U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C. Bondi says the "working group" will provide regular reports to the White House regarding its progress.
40% : How's that for getting the politics out of law enforcement? * Bove, the acting deputy attorney general, directed Danielle Sassoon, the interim U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York -- a solid conservative lawyer and former clerk for Justice Antonin Scalia -- to dismiss the corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who has been personally lobbying Trump for clemency.
27% : When Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky pushed back, Trump called him a "Dictator without Elections" (Ukraine is under martial law) who "probably wants to keep the 'gravy train' going."
22% : Bove further maintains that Trump needs Adams's cooperation on immigration enforcement -- a contention redolent of a corrupt quid pro quo, especially given that the department is retaining the ability to reinstate charges later (i.e., if Adams fails to produce to Trump's satisfaction).
21% : President Trump is now urging the Fed to cut rates further.
20% : President Trump lambasted Ukraine for its frustration, saying Ukraine "should have never started" the conflict that began when Russia invaded and should have "made a deal" to end it.
16% : Her guidance on combating the political "weaponization" of law enforcement is largely political messaging -- mainly a revisionist history of the Capitol riot, Trump's role in fomenting it, and the misconduct that led to criminal and civil probes of Trump.
