Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

Trump agreed to include Lebanon, Netanyahu overruled him. Who is in charge, exactly?

I don't normally share Tucker Carlson, but if I saw a talking warthog, warning us about fascism, I would share that too. Same principle: Carlson himself helped elect trump, but is sounding the alarm for White House staff and military to ignore any illegal orders from trump. Help spread the word.

Zelenskyy complains that Trump is not interested in the evidence that Russia is helping Iran (kill Americans). The problem is there's no leverage for shame. JD has literally been palling with the enemy in recent days, and it's not being covered. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

All caps, melting down after his Iran humiliation, lashing out at allies, and once again pivoting to Greenland. Poor little baby.

Right! Its almost like Trump was owned by Russia for the last 40 years or something.
