From the NY Times:

After three hours of talks, President Trump and President Vladimir Putin of Russia told reporters that they had made progress on unspecified issues, but they gave no details, took no questions, and most importantly failed to announce a cease-fire of any kind.

The meeting broke up several hours before scheduled, and far short of the six or seven hours of discussions that Mr. Putin’s aides said they expected for the talks. The fact that they took no questions made it clear they did not want to be pressed on details.

Sounds really productive

Under pressure from a federal judge, the Justice Department clarified that Washington’s police chief will, for now, retain control of the city’s police force. The revision came after Judge Ana C. Reyes encouraged the Justice Department and D.C. to reach an agreement or she would intervene and block the federal government.

Yeah, they were pretty monstrous and hateful to Chelsea. Of course it's only ever Republicans who do this, because it's the party of terrible human beings.

That's cool. You should add Trump's denials in there where you have direct photographic evidence to the contrary, like how he claimed he didn't really know Maxwell.

He's special because there aren't many politicians like him in America, the country we're talking about.

Maybe it works according to fairness in Candyland, but in the real world the possibility of confrontation between nuclear powers is one that every world power wants to avoid (even Russia, I believe). That means avoiding provocations where possible.

We need proportional representation, but ranked choice is much better than what most of us have now.
