"David Kraning has watched his profits diminish and expenses go up at Video Stop, the last video rental store in Pocatello, Idaho.

Recently, he knew he had to close. But he faced a dilemma: What would he do about his most loyal customer?

What's #Putin Got on Trump (pee tapes?)

Under Trump, America’s New Friends: #Russia, #NorthKorea and #Belarus

When it comes to the war in Ukraine, President Trump finds common cause with the world’s outlier states and stands against traditional U.S. allies like #Britain, #France, #Germany, #Canada, #Japan and #Italy.

"If the old saying is true, that you are known by who your friends are, then President #Trump may be telling the world something about who he plans to be in this second term.”

See how your Senator voted and call or email to express your fury.

The New York Times · How Each Senator Voted on Trump’s Cabinet and Administration NomineesBy Jasmine C. Lee
