The details about the Tate brothers in this incredible @newyorker.com profile of them are as sick as anything you will ever read. They are rapists, pornographers, traffickers - and are also protected by the "conservative" MAGA movement www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

The US is hosting the World Cup and just turned away Africa’s top referee at the airport 3 days before kickoff because of where he was born. Omar Artan had a valid visa. He had a historic assignment. They didn’t care. Disgraceful. #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/211508/...

It’s not enough that Trump raped E Jean Carrol? He has to sic his Dept of Injustice on her because he needs to inflict more damage? There’s a place in hell reserved for Todd Blanche, Trump and so many more of these depraved abusers.

Oh wow, such a wonderful Deco/Chinoiserie image.

Treatment. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Netanyahu: "The way that Minister Ben Gvir dealt with the flotilla activists is not in line with Israel's values and norms." Really?

A rotten banana republic.

The rotten banana republic.

Incredible

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

US tax authorities will be barred from pursuing claims against the president, his eldest sons and the Trump Organization under a deal to halt a $10bn lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service. ft.trib.al/xdM3VVZ

Hahaha, unbelievable.

That's the way they do things in banana republics.

This is very funny. toosimple.substack.com/p/state-glee...

Trump campaigned on bringing down the cost of living "starting on day one," and then: started a trade war; deported much of the farm workforce, bombed Iran, allowed healthcare subsidies to expire, cut food assistance, ran an interest-rate boosting deficit, and attacked fed independence.

“History shows that political excess is not a natural feature of the country’s DNA and there remain grounds for confidence that the populist threat can be kept at bay by brave and judicious leadership.”

Two days after China and Zambia sign an economic agreement, Zambia abruptly cancels a huge human rights conference it was supposed to host this week, per organizers, who now say they were told the cancellation was due to Chinese diplomatic pressure: www.rightscon.org/rc26-stateme...

You mean the tax dodging trusts? No? You mean the lack of a wealth tax? No? No you mean the NDIS FFS

It is not a surprise that so many senior trumpies are disturbed individuals.

This should have more impact on his acting career.

Senile delusions (at best).

So Trump is back to threatening war crimes by destroying Iran’s civilian infrastructure? This reckless moron needs to be removed from office. #25th

Head of federal law enforcement stages authoritarian crackdown on political enemies in attempt to appease Trump because he's afraid the journalistic exposé of his uncontrolled alcoholism is putting his job in jeopardy

This is why Russia is still fighting, why the war continues and why people are dying: Because Trump and Vance encouraged Putin to believe he could win

Shitposter doesn't know when to stop.

Fantastic thread showing a government agency trying to assess AI claims in real time. Kudos to them.

It's kind of unbelievable that this debate ever needed to be revived.

Advancage Hungary.

The very definition of a lickspittle.

Corporate power in America is quite extraordinary. And obviously not in a good way.

Honestly, how much more nonsense are we going to have to go through before the people around Trump grasp that he is mentally sick, a danger to America and the world--and he needs to be removed from office?

Credit where credit is due! As Secretary of State, Clinton put more pressure on Orbán than anyone else (including the EU). This was one of the main reasons for Orbán’s early embrace of Trump. He hated Clinton.

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

They wouldn’t want a military commander lying about victory when the smell of defeat is heavy." open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Kitsch imperialism.

I lol'd at this.😆

Flagstaff House in HK Park is the oldest western building in HK built in 1848 as Headquarters House it was the residence of the commander of British forces till 1978. The 2-storey Greek Revival structure is in good condition due to renovations. The entrance is impressive & the fireplaces survived.

I'd much rather they promise to perform much better.

Mark Jacob on how the press ignores the biggest Trump story: “The president of the United States is clearly mentally unfit for office."

Delusions of grandeur is the kindest way of describing his mental state.
