Mel Brooks is a greater piece of American heritage than the Confederacy.

FYI, our story today includes this chart. Great deal of work involved in building it. Trump & Lutnick families have financial ties to at least 14 companies/executives pursuing federal financial assistance for mining projects or permits from Trump administration. Seeking $8.9 billion in total. (!)

Happy 100TH BIRTHDAY to the king Mel Brooks, who wore a fake extra finger to his handprint ceremony🥳🎂🥳

Trump readies his newest DC spending plan... From White House pool report by Gerren Keith Gaynor. At about 9:04 a.m., POTUS motorcade began to slowly ride pass the East Potomac Golf Links... POTUS is notably making renovations to the golf course, which is on federal land.

The average life expectancy of a new Russian recruit—from arrival at a training ground to death in a combat zone—lies somewhere between 10 days and three weeks. Once sent onto the battlefield, they survive an average of 20 to 35 minutes. @peterfrankopan.bsky.social foreignpolicy.com/2026/06/25/r...

Large chunks of the Mall are now effectively an armed encampment surrounded by tall fencing. In some areas, crowds are herded through security lines to get to features that used to be easily accessible in previous years.

This is the one true recipe for a Reflecting Pool: 2oz rum, 4oz pineapple juice, 1oz blue curacao, one Blue Razzberry Fruit Roll-Up

“Who’s the U-Boat commander?”

New from me: Bari Weiss's Free Press has been amplifying the lie that "Biden's open borders policy" pushed thousands of kids into sex slavery -- and that Trump is now rushing to rescue them. What Trump is actually doing: separating kids from their families, jailing them, and deporting them.

Just learned a friend of the family was grabbed by ICE on Tuesday in central VA, and already shipped to Mississippi. Enraged.

I’ll repeat: if you wear pajamas in public, you should be flogged.

US-Turkey ref doesn’t realize this 13 trillion Turkish lira is like $9.75

Oh please.

9 years ago, NBC gave this woman $20 million a year to host a morning talk show and be one of the top faces of its news division.

I’m not sure Pulisic, made of the finest Lladró porcelain, should run with these Turkish fellas

The offsides calls are absurd. It’s a dynamic game. Idiotic.

I dare say a Weiss-Barbaro podcast would create a super cyclone of self-regard so massive, that the tri-state area would be spun intergalactic into the Crab Nebula.

Just once - once - can the bad shit stop.

"After Gaza, the Israeli government is obstructing the work of foreign journalists in the West Bank." Collective op-ed published by journalists. This is what happens when our gov stay silent. We are complicit.

If the NYT op-ed columnists are going to interview prominent figures about a subject as complex as the JCPOA, they should at least research the details so they can see they’re being bullshitted.

Treaty of Versailles you say. What, Munich wasn’t available?

How TF was that not a red card?!?!

"How pervasive the SPLC's control was in the tech industry": right, it's a level of hidden power on par with the unseen influence of the Bolshoi ballet troupe on the taco industry. These people are nuts.

I know we’ve grown used to this garbage, but this is just an astounding thing for a U.S. president to say at a summit with the leaders of the world’s most powerful countries.
