Trump says he has spoken to Putin about ending the Ukraine war, NY Post reports
MOSCOW (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said he has spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin by phone about ending the war in Ukraine, the New York Post reported, the first officially acknowledged conversation between Putin and a U.S president since early 2022. Trump, who has promised to end the war but not yet set out in public how he would do so, said last week that the United States was talking to both the Russians and Ukrainians about resolving the conflict, but he gave no additional details. In an interview from Air Force One on Friday, Trump told the New York Post that he had "better not say" how many times he and Putin had spoken.

Virtually Everybody Who's Ever Bought Trump's Meme Coin Has Lost Money On It
In the short history of crypto cons and scams, it's fair to say none have gained the notoriety of Donald Trump's spectacularly shady TRUMP coin. Soon after Trump launched his memecoin just days before his inauguration, its value plummeted from its all-time-high of $78 to a staggering $27 as hyped-up crypto bros raced to cash out. It currently sits at a pathetic $17 — a shell of a grift that once saw nearly $72 billion worth of market cap at its peak. In the wake of this stunning collapse, new an

Afraid to Cut Anything From the Military Budget, Elon Is Now Sending a DOGE Boy to Make Cuts at Veterans Affairs
Amid his quest to trim $2 trillion from the federal budget, Elon Musk has set his sights on the Department of Veterans Affairs — but not, of course, the military that necessitates such post-service care. In a statement to Military.com, a VA spokesperson confirmed that one of the children working for Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been sent to do IT there, thus granting them access to the office's computer systems. "The DOGE employee will be solely focused on improving VA p

Trump chops away at the government and the fallout is felt in the Virginia governor's race
The Trump administration’s aggressive push to cut government jobs is reverberating in the early stages of this year's race for governor in Virginia. The fast-moving effort by Republican President Donald Trump to overhaul the federal workforce could have a sweeping impact in the state, home to some 145,000 federal employees and many more government contractors. Virginia, which along with New Jersey is picking a new governor in 2025, is already regarded as something of an early indicator of voter attitudes between presidential elections and seems certain to attract closer attention as the contest takes shape.
