"Suez Moment" references a comparison between the 2026 conflict with Iran and the 1956 Suez Crisis.
In geopolitical terms, a "Suez Moment" refers to a sudden, visible event that exposes a once-dominant superpower's inability to enforce its will, marking a definitive shift toward imperial decline.
Devin Nunes was not an obvious choice to run a fledgling social media network, but after $1.1 billion in losses, the former dairy farmer and congressman is out as the head of Truth Social. 🫠

"It was Kevin Warsh’s chance to prove his commitment to independence, and he failed."

LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America
SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours
Support for the GOP is plummeting across the USA. So how come support for RefUK is so high in the UK?
Do people really think the libertarian experiment is going to work in their favour in the UK when it's so obviously failed across the pond? That's extremely close to the definition of insanity.
COONS: Why is it a good idea to relieve sanctions on Iranian and Russian oil?
BESSENT: The $14 billion number is a DNC talking point
COONS: I am not the DNC. I'm the senator from Delaware
BALDWIN: Do you think NIH should fund less cancer research?
RFK Jr: No, they should fund more, & one of the few agencies that got a raise in the budget was NCI
B: That increase is less than $1m for an institute with a $7b budget. That's a .01% increase. It wouldn't even cover one additional grant
As a math teacher, it would be so hard for me not to snap back, "Math doesn't work like that. If you use a different method of calculating and get an answer that makes no sense, that means you screwed up at some point and have a wrong answer."
The Texas legislature rammed through a gerrymandering bill at the request of Trump.
Virginia actually voted in favor of redistricting to counterbalance what Texas and other Republican-controlled states have done.
Yet only one is considered a "power grab."
Oligarch-owned media in a nutshell.
Epstein on tape advising former Israeli PM Barak to approach Palantir founder Peter Thiel.
And there you have it 😲🤬🤬🤬
Maybe it's just me but I don't think Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be the ones to decide if Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be prosecuted.
📌In 2010, Virginia Republicans gerrymandered congressional & state legislative maps, packing Black voters into districts to secure an 8-3 Republican U.S. House advantage.
There was no vote, just old-school racism.
Their indignant behavior over yesterday's VOTE is laughable, appalling and pathetic.
total evil

IKR ... 👇
The most accurate indicator that something bad is about to happen.
I've seen a lot of references online to a "J. Edgar Boozer" and although I'm not saying anyone in particular deserves that appellation, I do think it would be the perfect name for someone serving as head of the Federal Bureau of Intoxication, if there were such a thing, which I'm not saying there is
From World Population Review:
JD Vance showing up in Islamabad for the next round of talks.
“In a conflict like Sudan where women’s bodies are the battleground (GBV, lack of SRHR, acute malnutrition), how are we supposed to work when ‘gender’ has been erased from our vocabulary.” Powerful remarks by MSF at @humconberlin.bsky.social SRHR session.
Don’t let the door hit ya, pedo!
Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”
Well, at least the BBC is covering this.
This is fun
