Previewed @GlobalSitRoom's new Reputation Risk Index on Bloomberg with @flacqua this morning, One issue it raises is the trust factor as a major oversight by most companies who are adopting AI too quickly... "There are efficiencies to be gained, but also customers to be lost."


Remember all those questions about whether Hegseth had adequate experience to run the Pentagon? We have our answer.

“There is a complete meltdown in the building, and this is really reflecting on the secretary’s leadership. Pete Hegseth has surrounded himself with some people who don’t have his interests at heart" politico.com/news/2025/04/1… @dlippman @JackDetsch @politico



“European diplomats said Rubio didn't speak about increasing the pressure on Russia during the Paris meetings…” Rubio pushing Kyiv to surrender This is a recipe for more Russian aggression Unless & until Trump applies real pressure on Putin, Moscow will keep marching West…


Most foreign leaders make fun of Trump behind his back. That’s not American leadership… It’s because he is an American loser.

Meloni seems to have really enjoyed meeting with Trump :))

Can’t help but think how unwelcome foreigners feel in our country today…

In other words: Surrender

Per Bloomberg, the Rubio/Witkoff plan is to let the Russians keep what they control, get sanctions lifted, and then maybe sorta figure out security guarantees for Ukraine. Smiley is suspicious, Percy. archive.ph/aIOtO#selectio…

Cluster bombs against civilians… But, Trump tells us Putin is ready for peace.

Russia is continuing its attack on Ukrainian civilian areas, hitting Kharkiv’s residential district with new types of cluster-filled ballistic missiles in the early hours of this morning. ow.ly/rpUw50VCXsY



Rewarding conquerors only leads to more conquests

The US has proposed a plan to its allies aimed at ending Russia’s war against Ukraine, reportedly including provisions to ease sanctions on Moscow and allow Russian-occupied territories to remain under Putin’s control — Bloomberg

Not a smart diplomatic move for Bukele. Democrats likely to control part or all of Congress in less than 2 years…

But, but, but… This was all supposed to be so easy Trump would have a deal done in a day.

🚨 BREAKING: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that the Trump administration is ready to walk away from Ukraine ceasefire talks in the coming days if it becomes clear that a deal is impossible. Full story: ow.ly/SeY550VCQbA



Americans care about due process - it’s kinda fundamental to the whole constitution thing

Imagine if Democrat Senators cared about Americans as much as they do foreign gang members who spent a few years in the U.S.



I worked at the US Embassy in Caracas. This was always a ridiculous claim to anyone who knows anything about Venezuela.

“The U.S. government’s most comprehensive assessment to date undercutting Trump’s rationale for deporting suspected gang members without due process.” Important scoop from ⁦@John_Hudson⁩ and ⁦@wstrobel⁩. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…



"The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order..."

Pretty sharp rebuke of Trump’s approach to Russia from the former U.K. Defense Secretary @grantshapps on our global affairs podcast One Decision with @KateEMcCann this week theguardian.com/world/2025/apr…


I stood up first effort against Russian disinformation on the National Security Council Dismantling our defenses against it is extremely dangerous Allows them to more easily manipulate not only our politics, but our economy, health care & children How will you protect them?

The American people don’t need an obscure agency to “protect” them from speech by silencing, censoring or banning them. Today, we are putting that to an end. The State Department will no longer be spending taxpayer dollars to censor Americans.



The callousness & cruelty of these cuts is truly shocking
