Trump described Spain as a "terrible partner" and a "wasted cause" over its refusal to meet NATO's 5% defense spending target and its refusal to support the U.S. in the Iran war. How cool would it be if this all-time loser must hand the World Cup to the Spanish men's team if they win the final.

Shove there but no call against England.

Flop.

After 16 years of Viktor Orbán's rule, Hungary's state television has suspended its news broadcasts for restructuring. The main state TV channel, M1, displayed a black screen with the following message: "Public media must not lie. We apologize for doing so for many years."

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

The idea that this just happened to the Broadview 6 — forcing grand juries to indict by cajoling them in an elevator, vouching to the grand jury, and telling "no" votes to leave if they don't want to indict — is nuts. It's probably happening everywhere. And it means the law as we know it is dead.

Love how my shithole country can't do basic stuff that authoritarian regimes and impoverished nations do without any trouble at all, we're just too committed to showing off that we're a stupid and racist shithole.

Happy Liberation day. When I stood in the immense cemeteries of Normandy I learned the price paid to stop the fascist gangsters. Canada sacrificed the best of a generation to free people from tyranny We carry the Juno Beach gene in our hearts. Never again tyrant. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii79...

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

Dear media, You don't have to say "E Jean Carroll accused Trump of defamation and rape." You can say "Trump defamed and raped E Jean Carroll." It's been adjudicated. Thank you

The reason I’m leery of AI is the people promoting it

Lemme explain a bit more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZVJ...

Can reporters stop using the word deal? It’s an agreement, a settlement, a treaty, an understanding, an MOU etc. Using the word deal is accepting his simple-minded TV game-show framing and contributes to the bogus drama he is trying to create.

Kurt Loder turns 81 today. We are old as fuck.

The single most defining thing Elon Musk has ever done is killing untold numbers of people by having DOGE illegally raid and disband USAID. Not rickets, not cars, not even the CSAMbot on X. It’s this, and so many media pundits just choose to unsee it.

There is a reason Watergate was broken by Woodward & Bernstein on the metro desk AND NOT by the White House press corps. Izzy Stone was mocking White House reporters as useless back in the 1950s

There is no McTry.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

This press release sure seems like the Marines warning undocumented family members of their latest class of recruits to avoid the graduation ceremony in order to keep themselves safe from immigration enforcement.

2021 Republicans: How dare tech companies talk to government about moderating speech!!! We’ll create a whole false narrative about it and take it all the way to the Supreme Court! 2025 Republicans: We run things now so

BBC NewsHour just had a thrilling report on this case of sperm whales collectively assisting a birth — a scene like nothing observed before in species other than human — behavior most nearly described 175 yrs ago by Melville in The Grand Armada chapter of Moby Dick. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

the same number of troops have died in this war that died in the evacuation of afghanistan fyi, weird how the media has decided that isn’t a point to drive home this time

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

Holy shit. Crude oil futures going nuts tonight.

“In less than a year, DHS has attacked the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 14th amendments to the US Constitution, the writ of habeas corpus, the independent judiciary, and much more,” states David Bier before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee. Read full testimony: https://ow.ly/z2aT50Yfcri

Update: Allen is taking a brief leave from radio after apologizing that his on-air remark about paid protesters was "a misguided attempt at humor" that "was never meant with any ill-intent or political affront ..."

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN: "I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind." and "The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back." Read storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Trump regime is smearing this man - Alex Pretti - as a “domestic terrorist.” We can’t let them get away with it. Alex Pretti was a patriotic American - far more so than the ICE agent who murdered him on the streets of Minneapolis today. Far more so than Trump, Stephen Miller, or any of them.

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line. If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.
