I remember seeing the photos. It was really stunning.

Wow. Wait, so does that mean that after all this time, after Trump pledging to end the war, after Trump trying to bring these two sides to the table, does that mean that the U.S. is out? Like, does that mean that Trump is saying, like, I give up?

What would it mean for Ukraine, though, if the United States did just say, OK, we're done with this? Like, I'm unclear. Are we still giving them weapons? Like, are we still supporting them in some way?

How should we think about the way that Trump relates to other superpower rivals at this stage in his second term, like how he both tries to make deals with them, but also how he tries to pressure them?

I just sort of wonder if this whole saga so far, Trump going from optimism to anger to maybe apathy with some other motions in between, with no change in outcome, Putin has remained the same in what he wants this entire time. And so I just sort of wonder if this whole evolution has just showed us that Trump is learning that he cannot – pressure or sweet talk or make a deal out of this problem?

On Tuesday, a federal judge in Boston said that the Trump administration apparently had violated an order he issued by flying a Burmese immigrant to South Sudan without first giving him enough time to challenge his removal. Judge Brian Murphy ordered a government lawyer to find out exactly where the plane was and whether it could be turned around mid-flight.

Judge Brian Murphy ordered a government lawyer to find out exactly where the plane was and whether it could be turned around mid-flight.

He also warned that everyone involved in the flight could face criminal contempt sanctions. Lawyers for the Burmese migrant said that a man from Vietnam was also deported on the same plane, a claim that the Justice Department lawyers would not confirm. And it was not clear how many other migrants were on the plane or what their home countries were.

The judge's original ruling from April ordered the administration not to deport migrants to countries other than their own without first giving them 15 days notice to raise concerns. And Canada, Britain and France have sharply condemned Israel for its proposed plans to escalate the war in Gaza, calling them, quote, disproportionate and egregious.
