    1. Zelenskyy's Disastrous Meeting with Trump:   - We describe a highly contentious meeting between Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and then-U.S. President Donald Trump.    - Zelenskyy was expected to secure a deal involving rare earth minerals and express gratitude for U.S. financial support. Instead, the meeting turned confrontational, with Zelenskyy allegedly insulting Trump, Vice President, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and the American people.   - The fallout included Trump asking Zelenskyy to leave the White House and a halt to U.S. funding for Ukraine's war effort. This led Zelenskyy to seek financial support from European nations, who began to step up their contributions. 2. Senate Republicans' Tax Cut Proposal:   - The document details efforts by Senate Republicans, led by Majority Leader John Thune, to make the 2017 tax cuts permanent.   - The proposed tax cuts aim to provide long-term economic benefits, including job creation and increased GDP. Specific benefits mentioned include the creation of 1.2 million jobs annually and significant economic growth in various sectors.   - The strategy involves using a "current policy baseline" to make the tax cuts appear cost-free, bypassing standard budget deficit limitations. The document emphasizes the positive impact of these tax cuts on American families and businesses, while also warning of potential negative media coverage.
