the JD Vance effect: "Prime Minister Viktor Orbán conceded that he had lost Hungary’s election on Sunday, as early results showed a stunning defeat for the politician who has ruled the country for 16 years and been an ally of President Trump."
In France, legislation came into effect recently for all car parks that have over 80 spaces to be covered with solar panels. Estimated to add around 11GW of renewable energy capacity to the national grid. Why not do likewise in Scotland? Braehead, Silverburn, Glasgow Fort etc.
JD Vance is on a historic roll:
He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose.
Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses.
Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably.
Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.

Drove 7 hours and one state away to pick up to this lil rescue pup last Sunday. Meet Simon Lebone. Raised in a shalterand rather shy. I don't think he'd ever been in a pet store before. ❤️

We were explaining the Strait of Hormuz news to our 8 yo
Her dad: We won't be able to get oil
8 yo: Oh! We can just use the scooter

Her dad: That's a great idea
8 yo: Someone needs to tell this to the president
Very true...
Orban is out!!
New: Trump's tariffs were in court today. No, not those tariffs. The other ones.

Trump’s latest comments on Iran make clear he’s still trying to bullshit his way through it
Trump's Cognition is "Hot." And I don't have to read the thread to know that 1) the 25th Ammendment and/or 2) Impeachment should happen immediately followed by 3) investigations/indictments/convictions for every fckn law he's raped since SCOTUS made his Caligula-PedoPhilius above the law. #TCND

I know it’s crazy, but as an alternative, White House staffers could simply choose not to commit any crimes.

Take a moment to reflect on the anniversary of when traitors to the Union surrendered yet faced minimal accountability for their treachery.
Let it be a reminder that this corrupt, anti-American administration must not escape accountability. I am committed to ensuring justice is pursued.
Can it really be considered an exclusive when I’ve been telling people this for months?
Asking for a friend.
ME TO CAT: You get fed every day at 6
CAT: Cool, cool cool, I'll start howling at you about it at 3:45 so you don't forget.
ME: I've literally never forgotten.
CAT: So the reminders are working...
The hungry red panda at the Prospect Park Zoo? Adorable.
The HungryPanda delivery app scamming small businesses? Not adorable. So they will be paying $580,000 back.
We'll keep pursuing companies that take advantage of New Yorkers, and we'll keep asking if we can pet a red panda just for a second.
Netanyahu’s lawyer claimed Friday the leader can’t testify due to “classified security and diplomatic reasons” connected to the Iran War.

I think we can safely remove the title of “leader of the free world” from the US Presidency now
As primaries are approaching we need a candidate who will fight and end this Supreme Court as we know it and give us back a real functioning court. Without this we will be going nowhere.
Canada is also saying that Lebanon has to be included in any peace framework
This is huge
Because when Canada says it, it really means 100 other countries are saying it, but they don’t have the clout to say it and they need Canada to say it for them
HHS guidelines for vaccine approval now contains language about the primacy of avoiding "vaccine harm" over the efficacy of the vaccine in saving lives.
