President Trump tried everything he could to end the war in Ukraine. "A Korean War-style ceasefire/armistice is probably the best we can get," @James_Robbins said. "The facts on the ground are that Russia controls the ground." "There was an opening, and he took it, and we may be seeing the fruits of that."

"One of their polls influenced the Michigan Democratic Senate primary... El-Sayed used it to prove he was electable." @TomBevanRCP, @CarlCannon, @SeanTrende
