This is Trump's America.

Hoe lang gaan we door met het verdacht maken van vredelievende en hoopvolle mensen? Tot dat er alleen nog maar cynici en schreeuwers over zijn? Hoe gaat dit ons ooit helpen? Wat kweken we anders dan haat jegens elkaar? Mogen ajb de welwillende mensen een podium krijgen? Het is al moeilijk genoeg.

But but but Hunter Biden sold some paintings!!!!!!!!

Laat de BBB maar verdwijnen uit het parlement, ze voegen met hun huidige programma niks waardevols toe om de echte problemen aan te pakken.

The Prime Minister of Albania came up to Macron and Azerbaijani President Aliyev and joked about how Trump had resolved the conflict between Albania and Azerbaijan.

This is the administration that just fired a bunch of FBI agents for kneeling at a BLM protest five years ago.

🇺🇦🇭🇺 Ukraine’s FM Andrii Sybiha reacted to Orban’s statement on Hungarian drones crossing into Ukraine: “The good news is that the PM admitted some drones did enter Ukrainian airspace from Hungary. Minister Szijjarto, how’s your tweet about ‘fake’? Aged poorly?”

Another way of looking at it

💥"The Hungarian leader said it doesn't matter if a few Hungarian drones flew over Ukraine, since he doesn't consider Ukraine an independent, sovereign country."

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

@derk.cda.nl @lisawesterveld.bsky.social Dit is een draadje over de Hoge Raad. Ik ben nieuwsgierig naar de reden waarom u niet aanwezig was.

If you voted for him, you've done this.

Oversight Democrats just released new documents revealing that Steve Bannon, Peter Thiel, and Elon Musk are in the Epstein files. Looks like Musk visited the island 👀

We are so humiliatingly deep into tinpot dictatorship territory. The government has just brokered the coerced sale of a major media platform to an ally of the president, who is openly boasting about converting it into (even more of) a partisan propaganda outlet.

goddamn this is good

Cancel een optreden of eet een stukje watermeloen, en je bent volgens de VVD een jodenhater. Strek je arm recht vooruit in de lucht en roep ‘sieg heil’, en de VVD wil er liever niet over oordelen.

Rep. Stansbury: It's impossible to listen to Trump appearing on the international stage and not think this man is literally unhinged, irresponsible, bizarre, bonkers, ludicrous. I don't even know why his staff are allowing him to stand in front of a mic.

This speech is such an extraordinary combination of lies, delusions, narcissism, hatefulness, ignorance and lunacy that it could have been given by no other person than the president of the United States. It could well be the low point of US public diplomacy in our history.

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

Angela de Jong is de ideale bondgenoot voor elke racist en een fascist. Ze is het toonbeeld van de kleinburgerlijke enablers van dit nieuwe fascisme waar @schimmelpenninck.bsky.social het vandaag over heeft in zijn column. De Jong is een ontluisterend inkijkje in de ziel der brute onverschilligheid.

The clear implication is that the clips in the montage are of “our warriors” but there are several foreign militaries in it. -Italian Army Ariete C1 tank -Swedish Gripen fighter -Spanish Air and Space Force A400M Grizzly transport. Sloppy and incompetent, so about what you would expect.

Threatens Denmark with Greenland annexation. Threatens Australian journalist. Threatens own media. DOJ threatens the opposition. On the other hand, lifts sanctions from Belarus and rolls out the red carpet for Putin. I don’t think this is the end, and the damage done will be very difficult to undo.

No notes

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Ukraine answered our call for help after the 9/11 attacks and deployed 5,000 soldiers despite not being in NATO. 18 Ukrainian soldiers perished. Russia paid bounties to the Taliban for every US soldier they killed. Let's not ever mistake who our friends and enemies are.

Fokke & Sukke haalden een paar Russische drones neer

Right now: Israel launched airstrikes on Qatar's capital, Doha. Reportedly at least 10 explosions were heard.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

US foreign policy update: friends alienated, enemies united, armed forces spreading mulch in DC. MAGA

No public appearance from Trump today according to his schedule. His last televised appearance was six days ago.

🇷🇺 Let's not forget Orbán’s latest snub—not for its practical impact, since it’s purely symbolic, but precisely because it would have cost him nothing. It’s a clear display of where he and his government stand morally—and with whom they choose to stand.
