The person negotiating in the Middle East on behalf of the United States does not technically work for the United States.

Blocking the Strait of Hormuz to unblock the Strait of Hormuz is peak Trump foreign policy.

Trump: "You want to see a stock market go down? Let a couple nuclear bombs be dropped on us, then you'll see a stock market go down. So the stock market has not gone very much at all. It's gone down a little bit. Much less than I thought. And frankly the gas hasn't gone up as much as I thought."

Péter Magyar casts his vote in Hungary today.

Get Viktor Orbán outta there!

Go Magyar!

Army survivors of deadly attack in Kuwait dispute Pentagon's account, say unit "was unprepared" to defend itself Survivors of an Iranian attack that killed six U.S. service members have disputed the Pentagon's description of events and said their unit in Kuwait was left dangerously exposed.

BREAKING CBS:

Survivors of the deadliest Iranian attack on U.S. forces have disputed the Pentagon's description of events and said their unit in Kuwait was left dangerously exposed when six service members were killed and over 20 wounded.

The members disputed the description from Pete Hegseth.

Trump threatened the Vatican with military force.

I've said that out loud to myself five or six times now, and I still can't quite process it.

JD Vance: "You know what? My wife has the right to skydive, but she doesn't jump out of an airplane because she and I have an agreement she's not gonna do that, because I don't want my wife jumping out of an airplane."

We could be looking at one of the worst humanitarian crises in history tonight.

“He didn’t literally mean he would wipe out an entire civilization”

Then he shouldn’t have fucking said it.

He’s the President of the United States. He has sole launch authority over the world’s most sophisticated nuclear arsenal, and words mean things.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

The time to do something is now, and we must act.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not resolving anything.”

After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.

Spoke with President Trump. He told me the conflict should be over in days, not weeks but if no deal is made he’s blowing up the whole country with “very little” off the table. "If happens, it happens. And if it doesn't, we're blowing up the whole country,” he said. I asked if there’s anything off limits. “Very little,” he said.

Again, I don’t see how you can read this as anything other than Trump trying to normalize the idea of using nuclear weapons

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Orbán Will Lose Hungary’s Election in Two Weeks—If It’s Clean Péter Magyar is a seemingly unstoppable force—but don’t expect the embattled Orbán to give up without a fight.

"Even an elaborate cheating scheme won’t be enough to deliver Orbán victory if the polls are correct." This is a big deal, and it should give opponents of American authoritarianism hope.

Looks like Iran’s response to Trump’s threat to unleash Hell was launching massive attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain energy facilities. 19 hours until futures open and it’s looking dicey.

Savage.

Company backed by Trump sons looks to sell drone interceptors to Gulf states being attacked by Iran The sales drive by Florida-based Powerus – which announced a deal last month to bring aboard Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. – positions the company to potentially benefit from a war that their father...

The President starts a war with Iran.

Now, his family looks to profit from it.

The corruption is enough to make you sick.

it speaks to the criminal nature of Trump 2.0 that nobody close to him is ever actually fired because it's too risky for them to be fully on the outside. Instead, they get reassigned to cushy fake jobs to keep them onside.

We told you.

This heartbreaking footage of Ukrainian tennis player Marta Kostyuk preparing for tournaments amid air raid sirens and missile attacks is a stark reminder that russians shouldn't be allowed to participate in international sporting events until they stop their genocidal war and are brought to justice

Bank of America would not have paid out $72.5 million dollars to the Epstein survivors, if the Epstein files were just a "Democratic hoax."

Revenge is a dish best (soft) served cold.

I just don’t think you need to love war crimes to be a real man.

I want to thank our Allies for telling Trump to go fuck himself over the Iran war.

You have to punch a bully in the face.

Raskin: "It doesn't give me a lot of comfort that Todd Blanche is now the acting AG. This is the guy who transferred Ghislaine Maxwell from the higher security prison to the low security prison camp in Texas."

Pam bondi ignoring Epstein survivors

may this define her for the rest of her life.

she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired.

girl, bye.

Just the idea of that pile of rancid orange pork participating in, let alone coaching, any sport is laughable.
