To paraphrase President Ronald Reagan, I think its time to ask: do you honestly feel better off today than you were at the beginning of the year? In the past few weeks, President Donald Trump cheated at golf in Scotland on the taxpayer dime, announced a $200 million White House ballroom to host his rich donors, finalized a Qatari grift for his new Air Force One, waddled around the White House roof like a lost old man, and talked about how his old pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein "stole" a 16-year-old spa worker from Mar-a-Lago.How much of that time did he spend actually focusing on the economy?DNC REVAMPS MESSAGING, SAYS TRUMP IS 'KILLING THE AMERICAN DREAM' THROUGH PRICE HIKES, 'BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL'On jobs? On bringing prices down, like he promised to do on day one? Look, for years, the Trump Industrial Complex has been ruthlessly effective at painting Democrats every which way. Ill admit, we didnt do nearly enough to define ourselves before allowing them to define us. In fact, we did some research the other month and found the number one word associated with the Democratic Party was "weak." DEMOCRATS NEED THEIR OWN TRUMP, PODCASTER URGES IN NY TIMESNow, I know thats not the case. Were the party of the working class, the small business, the farmer. Before leading the DNC, I headed up the Minnesota DFL and you know what DFL stands for? Democratic-Farmer-Labor. Were the party that says, we don't want to dismantle the VA or fire vets from their jobs, we want the men and women who put their lives on the line for our freedom to be able to find an affordable home or get care after they've served. Were the party that promises, if youre going to work your butt off for decades, then you shouldnt have to worry about some snake oil salesman blowing up your Social Security. And now it seems were the only party that still believes the Constitution matters. But it doesnt matter what I know. It matters what people think. Between now and the midterm elections, our job my job is to make the case why your life would be better with Democrats in charge. Now, you know what else Trump Republicans in D.C. are ruthlessly effective at? DEMOCRATS FORGE STRANGE BEDFELLOWS AS PARTY FLOUNDERS IN TRUMP'S 2ND TERMRuining the country. Trump thinks the best way to show leadership is through bumper-sticker politics. But while you read his catchy slogans, he drives the car into oncoming traffic. When he wants to appear tough, he sends the military into U.S. cities. When he wants to make the economy seem better than it is, he fires economists and pumps fake trade deals. BIDEN COVER-UP SCANDAL COULD USHER IN NEW ERA OF REPUBLICAN DOMINANCEWhen he wants to avoid his friendship with the most notorious sex criminal in modern history, he whips up BS scandals about Democrats. Meanwhile, the latest labor report shows the past three months as the weakest stretch for jobs since COVID-19. Americas small business backbone is being ground into dust. Farmers are shutting down operations. Families are paying more, getting less, and sitting up at night wondering if their job will be there for them next week. It's almost as though, since coming into power, Trump and his allies in Congress have done everything possible to stop America from being great. They caused unnecessary economic tariff chaos and then, with their debt-ballooning budget, followed it up by ripping healthcare and food from those who need basic lifelines to make it through tough times. All to give lucrative tax windfalls to the most extreme elites. The richest of the richest of the rich. DEMOCRATS' MAJOR MESSAGING CRISIS: THE PARTY OF OPPOSITION WITHOUT SOLUTIONSThey attacked construction jobs, rural hospitals and nursing homes. Theyre raising energy prices, grocery prices, clothing prices, car prices the list goes on. And Trump said foreign countries would eat the tariff costs. Nope. Youre eating the costs. No press conference or talking point or billionaire-controlled AI bot can convince your bank account of something thats not true. The thing is, we all want America to be great. But Democrats measure greatness by how many people have healthcare, how many families can find childcare that doesnt break the bank, how many young couples can get keys to their first home, how many people with amazing ideas can turn those ideas into businesses.WHITE HOUSE FIRES BACK AS TRUMP'S USE OF DC POLICE FOR CRIME CRACKDOWN IS PLACED IN THE CROSSHAIRS BY DEMSLets not forget, the Republican Party some of us still remember did big things. We didnt always agree, and we fought bitterly at times, but at least they tried. They actually invested in stuff that matters to people, like building the interstate highway system, creating NASA, and knocking out polio. Hell, even President Richard Nixon created the EPA to make sure air is clean and water is safe. Now, the Trump administration is greenlighting forever chemicals in your water. These are the people who ran on "Make America Healthy Again." Nobody should feel like they have to cover for Trump anymore. You deserve better. Plus,he already has a cartoon villain squad covering up for him every day with the Epstein files.If youre disillusioned by politics, think that this government is captured by the ultra-elites, or believe the system is broken and screwing you over youre right. If youre sick of the status quo, looking to break from the establishment, and end rigged games that protect powerful people, then Im going to break it to you you should vote Democrat. DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR DECLARES STATE OF EMERGENCY IN CRIME-RIDDEN COUNTYAs Democrats, our job isnt to help Jeff Bezos pay for his $50 million European wedding. Its to make sure the economy allows you to afford your own wedding, or raise a kid, or get care for aging relatives, or pay the summer A/C bill. Dont you wish Republicans in Washington cared about those things too?Look, its a damn shame that some people don't feel like Democrats fight for them anymore.Heres my admission: we cant say to voters that we're going to fight for them, fight for their families, fight for working people, and then when given the power, do nothing with it.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThat has to change. It is changing. I like to say you dont need a miracle to grow a spine. You just need a willingness to do whats right. I know politics these days feels like a sport. Good guys and bad guys. Winners and losers. But whether or not families can make it in this country isnt a sport. Its the most serious thing in the world. Trump doesnt take that responsibility seriously. I promise, Democrats do. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE BY KEN MARTIN

"Cashless bail" is one of the most misleading phrases in modern politics. Reform advocates coined it, the media amplified it, and it stuck. The reality? What we provide is secured bail a constitutionally protected, privately funded system that ensures defendants appear in court and protects the public, all without costing taxpayers a dime.Ironically, the term "cashless" could make us sound like the good guys. We accept all forms of payment. We take the financial risk. We are legally liable for producing defendants in court. We operate 24/7 making payroll, paying taxes, freeing the accused in an accountable way, and, when necessary, tracking fugitives so victims are protected and prosecutions move forward. Courts and judges who still have secured bail know it works, because we have skin in the game.In 2016, New Jersey passed the Bail Reform Act, removing the accused's right to bail and replacing private secured bail with a taxpayer-funded pretrial release bureaucracy. Heres what happened:CINCINNATI ASSAULT: POLICE CHIEFS RIP LEADERS OVER BAIL LAWS, GAPS IN THE JUDICIAL PROCESSThe results were predictable. Ed Forchion, a Marine veteran and self-described "peaceful political pothead," was held for 447 days on a witness tampering charge tied to a Facebook post not a violent crime without the possibility of bail. I offered the prosecutor a $2 million secured bond to secure his release. They couldnt take it. Why? Because New Jersey no longer recognizes the right to bail.TRUMP DEMANDS END TO CASHLESS BAIL, SAYS 'COMPLETE DISASTER' DRIVING CRIME IN CITIES, ENDANGERING POLICEThe costs are staggering. In 2016, the New Jersey Association of Counties sued the state because there was no funding in county budgets for this massive new mandate. Today, residents continue to pay millions each year for a system that is less accountable and less effective than what it replaced.Tennessee is now on track to follow New Jerseys path and other states are considering similar changes. Once the suggested right to bail is stripped away, its nearly impossible to restore. The shift is always the same: from private accountability to public expense, from a proven, self-funded system to a costly government program.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONEvery politician who has signed onto "bail reform" gets paid whether they work or not. They dont understand what we do because theyre chasing a funded narrative. If tomorrows narrative was "funeral home reform," theyd be after multi-generation, family-owned funeral homes with the same zeal.MURDER VICTIM'S MOTHER SOUNDS OFF ON GOV. PRITZKER'S NO-CASH BAIL: 'THIS IS WHAT HE WANTED'The truth is simple: "cashless bail" isnt about making the system fairer. Its about replacing private industry with government bureaucracy funded by you, the taxpayer.President Donald Trump demonstrated leadership on post-conviction reform. Now is the time to address pretrial justice reform. The Eighth Amendment suggests that the accused have the right to bail, and its time to defend it nationally.A balanced approach is possible one that maintains judicial discretion, protects public safety, and ensures defendants appear in court without shifting the financial burden to taxpayers. Secured bail achieves all of this.Congress should act now to protect the bail before more states follow New Jerseys failed example. Without action, the cost to taxpayers will climb, accountability will drop, and victims will be left waiting for justice.We in the private bail industry are ready to work with leaders who understand the vital role of private enterprise in the criminal justice system. We are, as I like to say, the "Coal Miners of Criminal Justice" doing the hard, unglamorous work that keeps the system running, even when the lights are off.

The Department of Education said it plans to pull federal funding from five Northern Virginia school districts after they rejected the Trump administrations request to rescind their transgender bathroom policies.The five school systems Prince William, Fairfax, Alexandria, Arlington, and Loudoun counties announced this week that they will continue allowing students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that match their gender identity, despite a Friday deadline from the Education Department.The districts were urged to change these policies after an investigation by the Education Department's Office of Civil Rights (OCR) found the schools to be in violation of Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in education. The OCR issued a proposed resolution agreement, asking the districts to rescind these policies voluntarily or "risk imminent enforcement action, including referral to the U.S. Department of Justice."Education Department spokesperson Madi Biedermann said that the department would begin the process of suspending or terminating federal financial assistance to the five districts, in a statement shared with Fox News Digital on Friday.VIRGINIA SCHOOL DISTRICT VOTES TO KEEP GENDER BATHROOM POLICY, DEFYING DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION DIRECTIVE"The U.S. Department of Education generously granted an extension for five Northern Virginia School Districts to come into compliance with Title IX and follow federal law unfortunately, the additional time did not result in a fruitful outcome," Biedermann said. "The Agency will commence administrative proceedings to effect the suspension or termination of federal financial assistance to these divisions. The Virginia districts will have to defend their embrace of radical gender ideology over ensuring the safety of their students."Loudoun County was the first district to announce it was keeping its gender policy. At a closed-session meeting on Tuesday, the board voted 6-3 to keep its Policy 8040, which allows students to use the locker rooms and restrooms that correspond with their gender identity.A Loudoun County school spokesperson said that the federal interpretation of Title IX conflicts with current state and federal law protecting transgender students."After consultation with legal counsel, the Board voted 6-3 not to comply with this request due to the tension between the OCR position and current law. We will continue to monitor developments closely to ensure continued legal compliance and the protection of all students," the county said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital on Wednesday.VIRGINIA SCHOOL DISTRICTS SUPPORT FOR TRANSGENDER STUDENTS' RIGHTS IN GOVERNOR'S RACE SPOTLIGHTThe other four school districts released similar statements on Friday.Fairfax County, currently at risk of losing up to $160 million in federal funding, Arlington County, Alexandria and Prince William requested the department delay pulling federal funding while the issue is being clarified by the courts."In responding to the U.S. Department of Education, we have noted that the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments this year and make a decision whether Title IX restricts or protects access to facilities based on gender identity. Until then, we will comply with current laws with respect to Title IX, including the Virginia Values Act," Arlington Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Francisco Duran and Board Chair Bethany Zecher Sutton wrote.VIRGINIA SCHOOL DISTRICT ACCUSED OF RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION IN TRANSGENDER LOCKER ROOM CASEAlexandria Public Schools similarly rejected the Education Department's request and called the proposed resolution agreement an "attempt to define transgender students out of existence" in a letter sent by the schools' lawyer to the Office for Civil Rights.TheBiden administrationfinalizedTitle IX regulationsin 2024 to expand protections for LGBTQ+ students, interpreting the laws prohibition on sex discrimination to include gender identity and sexual orientation.Following President Donald Trump's return to office in 2025, his administration has moved swiftly to reverse Biden-era education policies, including transgender protections under Title IX.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

President Donald Trump fired off insults toward Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., in a Sunday post on Truth Social in response to the senator's criticism of his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.The president described Murphy as "very unattractive (both inside and out)," "stupid," and "a lightweight," after the senator claimed "Putin got everything he wanted" during an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press."Murphy also described the meeting, which was held in Alaska on Friday to broker peace between Ukraine and Russia, as "a disaster," "an embarrassment for the United States" and "a failure."OUR POSITION IS CLEAR: ZELENSKYY AND EU DISMISS CEDING UKRAINIAN LAND TO RUSSIAMurphy shared a clip of his appearance on his X account, captioning the video with more criticism of Trump's meeting with Putin."The Putin-Trump meeting was a disaster, as predicted. Putin got everything he wanted: a photo op legitimizing his war crimes, no ceasefire, and no sanctions or new weapons for Ukraine. Trump's goal was to keep Putin happy. He succeeded," Murphy wrote.Trump pushed back, asserting in his Truth Social post, "The very unattractive (both inside and out!) Senator from Connecticut, Chris Murphy, said Putin got everything that he wanted. Actually, nobody got anything, too soon, but getting close. Murphy is a lightweight who thinks it made the Russian President look good in coming to America."Actually, it was very hard for President Putin to do so. This war can be ended, NOW, but stupid people like Chris Murphy, John Bolton, and others, make it much harder to do so," he added.ZELENSKYY ARRIVES IN WASHINGTON, DC FOR TRUMP MEETING, URGES LASTING PEACE WITH RUSSIAUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and seven European leaders will meet with Trump in Washington, D.C. on Monday to continue seeking an end to the Russia-Ukraine war."Big day at the White House tomorrow.

No getting back Obama given Crimea (12 years ago, without a shot being fired!), and NO GOING INTO NATO BY UKRAINE. Some things never change!!!"

A researcher may have uncovered the oldest-ever written references to Moses, dating back 3,800 years and hidden in an Egyptian desert.The two etchings were found at Serabit el-Khadim, an ancient turquoise mining site in the Sinai desert where Semitic laborers once worked during the Middle Bronze Age.The Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions date back between 1800 and 1600 B.C.RARE BIBLICAL SEAL WITH ANCIENT FINGERPRINT FOUND IN DEBRIS FROM JERUSALEM'S TEMPLE MOUNTThey were etched centuries before the earliest parts of the Bible were written between the 10th and 7th centuries B.C.The two inscriptions, among many at the site, were first discovered in the early 1900s but they're now being reanalyzed by an American-Israeli epigraphist named Michael S. Bar-Ron. The expert, who's also a graduate student at Ariel University, spoke with Fox News Digital about the discovery.Bar-Ron posits that the inscriptions read "Zot MMoshe" and "Neum Moshe."The phrases may mean "This is from Moses" and "Declaration of Moses," respectively.If verified, the inscriptions are the earliest written mention of Moses outside the Bible.The inscriptions also reference El, a deity associated with the Abrahamic God, while censuring the ancient pagan goddess Ba`alat.Speaking to Fox News Digital, Bar-Ron noted that the Serabit el-Khadim site once housed a temple to Ba`alat.Some of the etchings, Bar-Ron says, seem to reflect resistance to the goddess's worship from Semitic workers."[Ra]ather than lauding Ba`alat [the] readings curse out theBa`alatcult, with words of warning and rebuke to itsfollowers,"Bar-Ron said.He added, "They include the terms 'B' for shame or this is shameful' andnimosh, [which means] let us leave [or] remove ourselves."RARE 1,600-YEAR-OLD MOSAIC FROM CHRISTIAN MONASTERY UNVEILED AFTER CENTURIES OF OBSCURITYThe Herculean task of translating the ancient etchings took nearly a decade, Bar-Ron said."I spent eight years actively involved in the painstaking, oft-frustrating reconstruction of some 23 wordy Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions," the epigraphist noted."That is, based on the principles of the foremost greats in the field, and informed by the work of my distinguished colleagues in the field."He also believes the "Moses" inscriptions may have a common author, pointing to certain "stylistic points" such as word usage.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERBar-Ron's larger graduate thesis explores "a Mosaic-type leadership" in the region at the time.He described the latest revelations about the inscriptions as "non-essential icing on the cake.""The finding Zot M'Moshe and Ne'um Moshe were really last-minute discoveries and non-essential to that subpoint (possible Mosaic authorship), within a much more serious thesis," he said.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyleBar-Ron also noted that his findings will be peer-reviewed in the future; his research has already been edited over 100 times."If we were drawing such conclusions on the basis of one or two inscriptions, it would be weak," he observed. "Rather, they are based on what is understood across the full set found at Serabit el-Khadim.""I cannot emphasize enough how important it is for educated readers to actually read the proto-thesis itself."Excavators have long searched for archaeological evidence of Moses, mostly without success.Last summer, an ancient sword from the era of the Book of Exodus was uncovered in Egypt.More recently, a French expert identified ancient "propaganda" praising Ramesses II, the Egyptian leader who may have challenged Moses.

Prince Andrew's reputation continues to come into question as claims made in a new book paint him in a very unflattering light.British author Andrew Lownie released an unauthorized biography called "Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York." In the book, and in a candid conversation with Fox News Digital, he described "countless stories" of Prince Andrew "humiliating people" and being a "bully."In one example that took place in July 2005, Lownie wrote that Andrew approached David Anderson, who was head of the household at Hillsborough Castle at the time, about damage from a storm.PRINCE ANDREW'S RUDENESS TO KATE MIDDLETON CAUSED ONGOING FEUD WITH PRINCE WILLIAM: BOOKAnderson told him that a tree that had been planted by Queen Elizabeth had been damaged but he referred to her as "the Queen Mother," which was apparently something Andrew took issue with.Lownie wrote, "Andrew turned to face his head of household, and with eyes like George III said: By who? "Queen Mother" is for the public etc, "Queen Elizabeth" or full QETQM used "in-house". Do you mean by my grandmother?"He wrote that Anderson apologized, but Andrew began "mocking" him. He asked the man when he'd begun working for the royal family, and when Anderson told him that he'd been employed in service of the family since 1984, Andrew allegedly responded, "And you still dont know the proper way to refer to my grandmother? You f---ing imbecile. Get out."The Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II's mother, died in 2002 at age 101.WATCH: PRINCE ANDREW WAS CRUEL TO STAFF, TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HIS POSITION, ROYAL AUTHOR CLAIMS"There are countless stories of him humiliating people," Lownie told Fox News Digital.He shared some examples from the Duke of York's younger days, accusing him of, "for example, pulling their dresses, trying to pull their zips on their dresses down at important events, teasing people by saying, Smell the pate here, and pushing their faces into the pate when they lean forward."He continued, "He was cruel to staff. He would humiliate them if they didn't use the right titles for Her Majesty The Queen Mother. He would summon maids from four floors down in order to just to open a curtain."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSHe told another story of a diplomat visiting, and when he stepped away for a moment, "Andrew then removed his place setting and chair, everything, because he knew his position of power, and they couldn't really respond."Lownie claimed that Andrew " used this position and took advantage."In "Entitled," Lownie wrote that Andrew's alleged bullying was such an issue that the royal family "held a summit" in 2021 to discuss his behavior. There, they reportedly agreed that "there was no way back for him" to find his place in the monarchy."A former aide had been reduced to tears after being bawled at in a phone call before dawn because Andrew was unhappy with a story in The Sun newspaper," Lownie wrote. "One member of staff was moved to other duties because Andrew disliked a mole on the mans face,' another because the man was wearing a nylon tie.'"A new report from The Sun appears to back up the claims of Andrew's rude behavior.According to a source who spoke to the outlet, Andrew was upset when he saw that workers were putting in speed bumps at the Windsor Great Park estate including one that would force him to slow down when leaving his home.As he was riding his horse, he allegedly barked at one of the workers, "What the f--- are you doing now?""Andrew likes to drive his car out of Royal Lodge quite fast and is obviously a bit peeved as one of the speed humps is right by the gate out of the park," the source claimed.As Lownie writes in his book, these types of accusations have followed Andrew for much of his life.PRINCE ANDREW GETS ANGRY IF TEDDY BEAR COLLECTION ISN'T IN PERFECT PYRAMID SHAPE ON HIS BED: AUTHOROne of his former classmates remembered the prince as "a very slimy so-and-so, arrogant, pleased with himself, a bully."She said, "He thinks hes funny, handsome and clever and he isnt Nobody cared for him though some sixth-form girls hung around him He swaggered around, but all the cool boys of his age thought he was a wally and tosser."Lownie told Fox News Digital, "Well, there are countless stories of him as a bully, right from as a very young child with other young children. But actually, last night I saw a friend of mine from university who'd been at school with him, and she was a few years younger. She was camping at the Duke of Edinburgh scheme at Balmoral, and he just wandered down. They were camping by the river, and just casually pulled the fly sheet off the tent, threw it in the river, and they had to carry this wet fly sheet as they marched for the next 10 days. They got rained on that night and got wet."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERHe added, "And that's an 18-year-old with a 14-year-old girl. And I thought that was a pretty mean thing to do."When Fox News Digital reached out to Buckingham Palace about the claims made against Andrew, 65, a spokesperson explained that they dont speak for the prince as hes no longer a working royal."Prince Andrew is becoming the Titanic of the royal family, with him hitting the scandal iceberg, which could sink the whole royal ship," royal expert Ian Pelham Turner previously told Fox News Digital. "Unruly, rude, arrogant and thats, according to the book, some of his better qualities.""This is a book that will secure the final nail in Prince Andrew's coffin," British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy heads into a high-stakes White House meeting with President Donald Trump on Monday, as Washington considers security guarantees for Kyiv and debate intensifies over whether land concessions to Russia could end the war.Zelenskyy will be flanked by key European allies at the White House, a diplomatic overture that signals Europes determination to rally behind Ukraine.Over the weekend, the Ukrainian leader acknowledged his last White House visit cut short by a shouting match between Trump and Vice President JD Vance and told reporters in Brussels he hopes Mondays meeting "will be productive" rather than a repeat of Februarys encounter.EUROPEAN LEADERS WILL JOIN TRUMP-ZELENSKYY MEETING, SIGNALING SOLIDARITY WITH UKRAINEThe upcoming meeting comes on the heels of Trump's summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Anchorage on Friday, where the U.S. leader shifted from demanding a ceasefire to calling for a final peace deal.Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff told CNN that Putin agreed to allow the U.S. to provide Ukraine "robust security guarantees.""We got to an agreement that the United States and other European nations could effectively offer Article 5-like language to cover a security guarantee," in reference to the critical NATO provision," Witkoff said, referencing the military alliance's mutual defense clause, known as Article 5.NATOs Article 5 the cornerstone of the alliance stipulates that an attack on one member is an assault on all, obligating allies to come to each others defense. The proposed security guarantees for Ukraine would not come through NATO, but rather from select European allies in the event of a Russia-Ukraine peace deal.Zelenskyy welcomed the revelation during a Sunday press conference alongside European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen."It's important that America agrees to work with Europe to provide security guarantees for Ukraine, and we are very thankful to the United States under the president for such a signal," Zelenskyy said.TRUMP: WE'RE GOING STRAIGHT TO RUSSIA-UKRAINE PEACE DEAL, 'NOT A MERE CEASEFIRE'"This is a significant change, but there are no details about how it will work and what America's role will be, what Europe's role will be and what the EU can do," he added.Over the weekend, Zelenskyy reiterated that his war-weary nation will not surrender any territory to Russia as the Kremlin's three-and-a-half-year conflict grinds on."The constitution of Ukraine makes it impossible to give up territory or trade land," Zelenskyy said during a press conference at the EU Commission on Sunday.RUBIO DOWNPLAYS REPORTS TRUMP BACKING PUTINS PLAN FOR RUSSIA TO CONTROL UKRAINES DONBAS REGIONHe added that Russia has repeatedly tried and failed to seize the entirety of the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine for a period of 12 years.The area, which includes Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, is an industrial hub where coal mining and steel production remain central to Ukraines economy. In short, control of Donbass mines and factories would hand Moscow powerful leverage over Kyivs financial survival."Since the territorial issue is so important, it should be discussed only by the leaders of Ukraine and Russia at the trilateral Ukraine, United States, Russia," Zelenskyy said.The Ukrainian leader, who spoke alongside von der Leyen, said that so far the Kremlin has "given no sign that the trilateral will happen.""With regards to any territorial questions in Ukraine, our position is clear: international borders cannot be changed by force. These are decisions to be made by Ukraine and Ukraine alone, and these decisions cannot be taken without Ukraine at the table," von der Leyen said.Following the meeting with the Russian leader, Trump signaled that Zelenskyy should take Putin's deal to end the war because "Russia is a very big power" and Ukraine is not. Still, Secretary of State Marco Rubio sought to play down speculation that Trump could push Zelenskyy to give up Ukrainian land to Russia as part of a deal to end the war."The president has said that in terms of territories, these are things that Zelenskyy is going to have to decide on," Rubio told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures.""All the president is trying to do here is narrow down the open issues," Rubio said, adding that Trump is focused on ending the Kremlin's full-throttle assault on Ukraine.

Actress Gal Gadot said the live-action Snow White remake floundered at the box office due to pressure in Hollywood to criticize Israel, during a recent interview on Israels Channel Keshet 12 program "The A Talks.""I was sure that this movie was going to be a huge success, and then October 7 happened and what's happening in all kinds of industries, and also in Hollywood is that there's a lot of pressure on celebrities to speak out against Israel," Gadot said.The Israeli actress spoke out about the movies failure during a wide-ranging interview with journalists who are all on the autism spectrum.'WONDER WOMAN' ACTRESS GAL GADOT PRAISES 'STRENGTH' OF FREED HAMAS HOSTAGES DURING EMOTIONAL VISIT"Snow White" grossed $205 million worldwide, falling short of its reported $270 million budget. Gadot played the Evil Queen, while Rachel Zegler starred as Snow White. The film was mired in controversy, largely stemming from Zeglers inflammatory social media posts.In November 2024, after President Donald Trump was re-elected, Zegler posted, "May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace," and "Fk Donald Trump."
