If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.

It is an insane dereliction of duty for any president or Secretary of State-even Trump and Marco Rubio-that they’re at a UFC fight instead of monitoring inept liar JD Vance, untrained real estate developer Steve Witkoff and serial grifter Jared Kushner as they tried-and failed-to negotiate with Iran

Trump And Rubio Ignored Iran As Curly And Moe Flubbed Diplomacy

May Victor Orbán simply be the first in a string of countries engaging in overdue housecleaning by kicking their authoritarian leaders to the curb.

Trump at a UFC event last night told fighter Paulo Costa he’s too good-looking to fight.

“You’re a beautiful guy. You could be a model, you look so good.”

This was what Trump was doing as negotiations with Iran imploded.

On the train back home from Warsaw right now, and two Ukrainian women across the carriage from me are absolutely delighted about the Hungarian election result. One is in tears and the other is laughing. This is what it means to get rid of the cynical, kleptocratic prick.

I’ll never get tired of watching people in Budapest celebrating getting rid of Viktor Orbán.

I’m dancing along with the people of Hungary!

💃

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

Let today in Hungary be a warmup for what we can do, for what we can have.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Anyone who has ever negotiated a union contract or a tough piece of legislation knows full well that 21 hours of “negotiations” is merely a start. Walking away after less than two weeks of negotiations reveals a total lack of good faith. This was a poor performance by amateurs representing the USA.

Repost. My response is the same. They're going to have to put limits on numbers of executive orders and pardons too.

So, Donald Trump tore apart Obama’s Iran deal in his first term because it unfroze billions of dollars in Iranian assets

only to then unfreeze billions of dollars in Iranian assets in his 2nd term in a desperate attempt to end the war he started.

Are we great yet?

The amazing, letter-perfect performance of NASA this week is a ferocious rebuke to the right-wing fools who constantly tell us that for-profit businesses always do a job better than the government.

Preemptively announcing you are going to pardon your staff isn’t just rewarding criminals for their crimes—it’s encouraging them to commit new ones.

In addition, Judge Kaplan said: “The jury’s finding of sexual abuse therefore necessarily implies that it found that Mr. Trump forcibly penetrated her vagina... in other words, that he raped her."

BREAKING: Donald Trump has reportedly been calling Republicans this weekend demanding that "under no circumstances" are they allowed to subpoena Melania to testify about her Epstein connections because he doesn't trust her not to throw him under the bus.

The leaves whisper stories of forgotten times, their veins carry the wisdom of centuries, and I gently stroke their surface as if I could touch the past.

Love the the Artemis crew.

Four extraordinary humans: brilliant, disciplined, and deeply mission-driven.

What stands out even more than their intelligence is their character.

Kindness. Positivity. Humility. Empathy.

The future of space exploration shouldn’t just be bold, it should be human.
