Putin will visit Beijing on May 20, per the South China Morning Post, which would be days after President Xi Jinping’s summit in the Chinese capital with President Donald Trump.

President Trump says the White House ballroom will open around September 2028.

“It's ‘ZDS’ that is the most troubling thing to me, Zionist Derangement Syndrome and the Democrats,” says Matty, a 2WAY community member in Los Angeles. “That seems to be the litmus test, and the hill they’re willing to die on. And all the extremism seems to go back to that. And it seems that Trump’s alliance with Bibi only hurts the Jews here at home, like myself.” @MarkHalperin @LarryOConnor @KevinPWalling @2waytvapp

“People should not rule out that because of the redistricting, the math makes it possible for the Republicans to keep the majority,” says @MarkHalperin. Says @LarryOConnor, “I’m looking at it as 50/50 right now. The climate is bad right now for Republicans, as it always is historically. But the terrain has gotten so much better.” #midterms @KevinPWalling @2waytvapp

American staff took everything Chinese officials handed out - credentials, burner phones from WH staff, pins for delegation - collected them before we got on AF1 and threw them in a bin at bottom at stairs. Nothing from China allowed on the plane. We’re taking off shortly for America

SIMPLE ANSWER: Because nobody in the newsroom wants to touch it. Those I’ve spoken to there say there’s an absence of anything concrete in the Kristof piece to build off for purposes of real reporting, so they’d be starting from scratch.

See you at 9p tonight on @NewsNation with @LelandVittert! @MarkHalperin @KevinPWalling @2waytvapp

President Trump is projecting confidence on the world stage, while back in the U.S., redistricting battles and the economic consequences of the Iran conflict are testing the political mood — even as markets continue to show resilience.
