Watching from Italy. I went out, watered the garden, fed the cats, spoke to the neighbour came back in and he is still at it. Incoherent ranting. Sad for America.

Can anyone watch Trump’s speech at the G-7 and not conclude that he is either insane or demented? Those boot-lickers standing behind him should be focused on one thing: the 25th Amendment.

Trump's body makes some sort of horrible sound while he rants about the "rigged election"

Yes, please share more classified military intelligence

This is so bad it might as well be the formal abdication notice for the USA vacating the position of leader of the free world.

An 80-year-old man with a nuclear arsenal strolled late into the G7's final session Wednesday in France, announced "I'm the boss" to assembled world leaders, and was met with the specifically uncomfortable laughter reserved for someone's embarrassing relative. www.thedailybeast.com/world-leader...

En zó gaat de heksenjacht dus de mist in🤬

It was the biglyist wibblyist, wobblly nobbly, dibbly dribbly, knock knock knocky, cuckoo, cuckoo, going down in the annals of history nonsense rhubarb on a stick, mummy mish-mash-mishy, make-it-uppy-as-u-go-along load of flim-flam the world has ever seen. No one can believe it. Apart from everyone

This whole press conference is absolutely bonkers. He has completely lost his mind.

The Art of the Concept of the Idea of the Theory of the Notion of the Deal

MSNBC just described him as "a ranting and incoherent president of the United States attempting to take a victory lap..."

More significantly, Trump can barely breathe during this ramble. He’s gasping for air.

This is unbelievable. This is our President making it clear how far his dementia has progressed, while gasping for air. MSN just cut him off calling it “insane rambling”.

Rubio is squirming and in pain. Well-deserved.

Secret Service has put up the bulletproof wings on the lectern. French stage designers collectively mon dieu-ing.

Mamdani: "Solidarity with a government that is committing genocide is a very different thing than a question of solidarity with people of a specific faith. I'm proud to be a mayor of the city with the largest Jewish population in this country."

3/3 Before he changes what's left of his mind. www.axios.com/2026/06/17/i...

Happy Wednesday. 1/ Tarp's still up (#KennedyCenter). Pool's still green. (2) Deal's not signed. (3) Soooooo much winning. www.forbes.com/sites/conorm...

Y’all…

Research by Chenoweth and Marks is unambiguous: When women participate in large numbers, movements often prevail and build more durable democracies. Regimes know this. That's why they come for us first.

9/9 Zoals Simon Carmiggelt schreef: “Mijn liefde voor het openbaar vervoer wordt, geloof ik, niet beantwoord.” En hij had nog nooit moeten horen dat de NS niks beters wist te doen dan het aanbieden van een kopje koffie.

The question inside Trump's White House wasn't whether suspending habeas corpus was a good idea. It was how much the administration could get away with before the courts stopped them. That's a warning worth paying attention to. Read here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-questi...

I suspect that this will unravel before the Friday deadline. I hope I’m wrong but not having the buy-in from Netanyahu is very suspicious. It presupposes that Israel will stop its war of aggression against its neighbors and that is a bridge too far I’m afraid.

Pope stressed that he stands in solidarity with the wounded and those who mourn their loved ones, as well as those who "in the midst of violence continue to serve life courageously."

I want you to imagine a time, perhaps 10 years from now, when perhaps the rest of us have come to believe this moment is an aberration, a blip in American history, not who we really are, and remember this boy. He will never forget who we really are.

🇻🇦🇺🇦 Pope makes statement after attack on Lavra "Painful news is coming in about Russia’s war in Ukraine, which continues to expand. Many innocent victims, rescuers killed, churches and cultural heritage sites destroyed by fire," he said.

Vance is really out here trying to establish the MOU Extended Cinematic Universe all on his own.

NEW: In another push to force a vote on the SAVE America Act, Trump said he'd delay the Senate hearing to confirm Jay Clayton as the next director of national intelligence. Despite the president's demand, Senate Intel Chair Tom Cotton (R) said the panel will proceed with the hearing as scheduled.

Damn Colbert is a treasure. He very knowingly and intentionally played Linus and Lucy on the air, and the copyright holder joyfully got a fine out of CBS for it and then donated it to World Central kitchen. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

nog tot morgen te wachten. Buiten Rotterdam kan niet want geen auto en door de huidge bijwerkingen van zonder meds zitten geen mogelijkheid tot verder reizen.

As tech companies rush to build big A.I. data centers, some residents who live near them say a constant low-frequency vibration that can also be physically felt is ruining their health and homes.

Passend.

A mob of Israeli settlers, backed by Israel’s military, invaded a Palestinian town in the West Bank to burn down its mosque. Dozens of worshippers were inside during the attack, including a 92-year old Palestinian American man who narrowly avoided being burned alive.

We have a deal. It’s very strong. But you don’t know it. I met it at summer camp. It goes to a different school.

SPACEX SHARES TURN NEGATIVE, ERASE GAIN OF AS MUCH AS 6%

Ah so LLMs operate like senior male academics. Who could have envisioned that technology trained on existing texts could operate in a fundamentally conservative nature

Donald Trump converted the White House into a money-making operation for himself, his family, and his closest advisors and biggest campaign donors. It's endless corrupt self-enrichment from a president who says he doesn't "think about Americans' financial situation.” No kidding.

But the buck stops in the Oval Office. Staging a circus where the South Lawn used to be or fouling up the Reflecting Pool should be ranked below resolving an expensive war that's crippling the world economy. Interesting that they want Vance to take the hit on this.

So glad that Haberman and Swan are going to make millions more publishing a book based on things they discovered doing their actual job but withheld reporting until now so they could personally enrich themselves from the fascism.

Fatal shooting of Russian anti-Putin artist likely politically motivated, Polish PM says

Paris is an expensive city, but the city authorities are good at providing cool free stuff to do, especially in the summer. Here are some of my favourites

This is absolutely true. A psychopathic fascist with wealth beyond most countries' GDP cannot be stopped by the occasional monetary slap on the wrist, only by global mobilisation against him.

De Oekraïense strijdkrachten hebben in de Zwarte Zee een olietanker aangevallen (de Fina A) die door Rusland werd gebruikt om sancties te omzeilen, meldt de 🇺🇦 generale staf. Het schip is gesanctioneerd door o.a. de EU en het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Over de omvang van de schade is nog niets bekend.

Senator Raphael Warnock speaks on the hate and bigotry toward Michelle Obama and women in general. #Pinks

Albanië heeft hiermee een duidelijk bericht gestuurd aan internationale miljardairs en ontwikkelaars die proberen milieuwetten te omzeilen. Een historische overwinning van het burgeractivisme op de rooftocht van de superrijken in een soeverein land. 6/6
