“‘Historic’: Canadian warehouse workers sign first-ever union deal with Walmart” It’s a race against time now to get as many Walmart stores unionized as fast as possible before they can shut any down. via @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Thanks to the heroic action of Mike Lee in the middle of the night, Trump might be about to overrule Hegseth and decree that Mormons are Christians. Another crisis averted.

“His is a special kind of loathsomeness: a blend of historical deafness, grotesque stupidity, and comically ludicrous self-importance. As if the little people’s rage against immigration somehow is superior to the war with the Third Reich and entitles this comic-book nobody to lecture actual heroes.”

I agree 100%!!!

Not even close to the absolute worst thing. Just a typical day for King Donald.

The truth will always out.

Just been listening to talk sport on radio. Lots of Scottish fans complaining their ESTAs have been denied. Had to pay to go down to US embassy to try and sort. They couldn’t give them an explanation why they were denied. A few had flights booked for Thursday. It’s an absolute shambles.

A former attorney for the Southern District of NY, Blanche oozed into Trump’s orbit in 2019 when he began to defend his campaign flak Paul Manafort from NYS charges. By 2023, he was defending Trump himself in his hush money payment trial, and eventually in all of the high profile cases against him.

Serbia's prosecutor for organized crime charged gov minister, 3 others w/abuse of office,falsifying docs related to real estate project w/ Kushner. Investigation is ongoing, and charges stem from actions taken to facilitate redevelopment of a military complex in Belgrade. Suspect same in Albania.

Trump told me this a couple of hours before Bibi struck Iran. He has turned himself into a prisoner of other people's decisions.

Trump Doesn’t Care

Congratulations to Tony Award winner Caissie Levy for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical! Fun fact: As Mother in Ragtime, Caissie Levy dedicated her performance to her own mom. #TonyAwards

Bari Weiss was exactly like this on a smaller stage, as my editor when I wrote book reviews for the WSJ over a decade ago, constantly trying trying to inject her politics into my pieces, even post copy editing.

lol

Read this whole piece.

Congratulations to Tony Award winner Lesley Manville for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play! Fun fact: While Lesley Manville is known for her dramatic roles, she is a trained soprano.

He named Bari Weiss directly. He said she was brought in to neutralize independent journalism inside the network. He told 60 Minutes’ new leadership she was “murdering the show.” Pelley spent 24 years at CBS News. He just put his name on the record against the institution that built his career.

This is a dangerous geopolitical gamble for Trump. Iran has seen that he wants a deal so badly that he’s unwilling to defend the gulf states. The next logical step was to see if he was also unwilling to defend Israel. Now he’s clearly negotiating from a place of desperation.

Trump jealousy incoming.

Mike Lee demands that Pete Hegseth immediately reverse the new Pentagon policy that excludes Mormons from DOD’s list of recognized Christian denominations. He says it is “offensive” and “repugnant.”

How can anyone expect Trump to stand up to Iran when he runs and hides from a female reporter?

😂❄️🤡

This is a tremendous rebuke of Trump by Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump claimed Netanyahu had promised him he would not launch new attacks or escalate the conflict, only for Netanyahu to proceed with a new round of full-scale military strikes in the region. The war is now as active as it has ever been.

Saw The Birdcage in theaters today for as part of screenings for its 30th anniversary. What a wonderful movie.

Congratulations to Tony Award Winner John Lithgow for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play! #TonyAwards

I have been warning for years that right wing extremist will slowly whittle down the list of “Christian” denominations that are acceptable to them. Soon we will be back to the times when the KKK railed against the Catholic Church.

Congratulations to Tony Award winner Laurie Metcalf for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Play! Fun fact: Laurie Metcalf is such a dedicated knitter that she has spun her own wool 🧶

there’s the boy who cried wolf and then there’s the deranged president who’s been saying “we’re close to a deal” for three months

Shocker - A Group That Wants to Execute Women is an Official Sponsor of the 2026 GOP Texas State Convention. They want the death penalty for abortion, IVF, & pregnant minors. Texas GOP made them an official convention sponsor & posted a thank you. This is fascism. open.substack.com/pub/letsaddr...

How awful for our troops. They're worried about being ordered to commit war crimes, and they're worried for a good reason.

Republicans knew this and played the long game. They didn’t just focus on winning elections. They focused on winning state legislatures. Once they got those supermajorities, they drew gerrymandered maps, locked in political advantages, and protected their power for years. 3.

Pro-Europe Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan has declared victory in the election. That’s a defeat for Putin.
