The New York Times reports that German Chancellor Merz found out about the U.S. “peace plan” from newspapers — the Americans hadn’t told him anything and he was shocked to read it.

On today's Tucker Carlson show, he makes clear that he believes that the US fought on the wrong side in World War II. In particular he says that the UK was mistaken to declare war on Germany just because it invaded Poland. And he has lots of sympathy for Herr Hitler throughout.

Remarkable how the gambling industry and its allied MPs always yell that if you tax gambling you’re out of touch with the ordinary, salt-of-the-earth working class chap who loves a flutter. Actual ordinary, salt-of-the-earth working class chap: Tax it! Tax it more! Keep on taxing it, you bastards!

FYI: the “disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan” was negotiated and begun by…. Donald Trump

Some on the right, including Elon Musk, are misinterpreting the game Dungeons & Dragons—and the intention behind its original story—to further a racist agenda, @adamserwer.bsky.social argues: theatln.tc/YRKYtIjQ

your 14yr old nephew is addicted to at least 4 different gambling apps on his phone where he's actively betting daily on the outcome of individual skirmishes in a real life war happening on the other side of the globe

THEY TRADED US MICAH PARSONS LMAO

Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.

someone’s having a nice safe thanksgiving in his military housing while the service members who he dragged to DC are getting shot for his fascist bullshit

During the evacuation of animals in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region, volunteers of the Animal Rescue Kharkiv organization became a 'taxi service' for Ukrainian Defenders. One of the soldiers jokingly said he'll be an air defense, and that's what actually happened -

We're up to at least 18 politicians convicted of corruption charges now pardoned by Trump.

Swiss euphoria at securing lower US trade tariffs has given way to a backlash over “oligarch diplomacy” and the role executives played from companies including Rolex and Richemont. on.ft.com/48i4mL4

Moldovans dragged a downed Russian "Geran" drone to the Foreign Ministry building in Chișinău and summoned the Russian ambassador to deliver an official protest.

Every time a MAGA troll tells you that you have “TDS”, don’t forget to reply to them with a link to an article about this guy.

On top of everything else, Nuzzi revealed a source??? This is all just absolutely batshit, and if they don’t retract all her articles and bar her from the industry, I don’t want to hear anymore theories from these people on why people don’t trust the media anymore — it’s pretty fucking obvious to me

Alright Google we need to have a chat. I search for "National Guard members shot DC" and the 3rd search result is from Investing .com Nigeria These companies need to be broken up into bite sized pieces. This is out of control

Artificial intelligence poses an increasingly real threat to children’s literature—and children’s learning.

What the fuuu………!

Uh oh— the Trump Administration granted this shooter ASYLUM THIS YEAR!

This investigation of serious election fraud became a travesty right through to the bitter end as almost everyone involved got something fundamentally wrong, starting with Merrick Garland and his enablers who refused to investigate it in time.

What a whiner. No one’s forcing him to be Speaker. You never heard Nancy Pelosi talk like this.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

the requirement is, of course, “be white” amp.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Considering Eric Adams deliberately, as one of his last acts, left a huge $5 billion hole in the budget to screw over Mamdani, feel like Zohran's justified in purging all Adams staffer actually

If I was this woman's lawyer i would advise her not to stop suing until she owned Glenn Beck's house www.cbsnews.com/news/jan-6-p...

Oh boy I can't wait for my employer to promise to surveil me to make sure that I teach dred scott as good law

Are We There Yet? After nearly 50 years in space, NASA’s Voyager 1 is about to reach 25.9 billion km away from Earth, meaning a radio signal will take a full 24 hours, a full light-day, to reach it.

South Korea launched its largest satellite yet on its nationally developed space rocket early Thursday, the fourth of six planned launches through 2027.

Scientists have detected what they believe to be lightning on Mars by eavesdropping on the whirling wind recorded by NASA's Perseverance rover.

Masked ICE agents trespassing in NJ, caught on a doorbell cam while harassing a homeowner who was out of town for a funeral. No suspect lived there, they had no warrant, and they even looked through her mailbox... which is a federal crime. 6abc.com/post/viral-v...

An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention. Profoundly, profoundly anti-American shit.

Hey, congratulations to all of Olivia Nuzzi’s horny media critic defenders. Heckuva job!

So the editor of New York Magazine said there was no bias or ethical problems with Olivia's articles? Does he still think that? They should retract all of her stories

these people are all scumbags and you should feel bad for defending them

Ah, another court order to add to the long list of court orders being purposefully violated despite the constitution and all that and fuck fascism. Leaving aside whether this is a reasonable & useful response given alternatives (probably not so much). www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Previous Prime Minister Boris Johnson was born in the United States. I'd love for her to tell me that's different and then try to explain why without being racist.

Two photos, but some 85 years apart. In 1940, Londoners huddled in the Underground while Nazi bombs rained down overhead. Today, Ukrainians take shelter from russian missiles and drones in the 🇺🇦Kyiv Metro. Photo1: London Transport Museum Photo2: Yan Dobronosov

“With a single phone call,” one insider told Politico last month, “Putin appears to have changed President Trump’s mind on Ukraine once again.” This was Witkoff’s achievement.

I still can't believe these goddamn fools are trying to get into a patriotism dick measuring contest with a guy who was a combat pilot and an astronaut and space flight commander.

This is wrong, this is stupid, this is 💯 political, this is illegal, and there’s ZERO reason for this. National Guard troops have lives, jobs & families. This is an absolute waste of their time. Trump is using them to try to score political points. Just terrible.👇

I love that the only remotely creative part of AI prompts is too hard so they want a "make thing I want" button

National Guard members were not getting shot in DC under Joe Biden.

OF COURSE the leaked transcript was an attempt to disrupt damaging US-Russian peace talks, which are extremely dangerous for Europe and Ukraine www.nbcnews.com/world/russia...

imagine what we could be doing if the federal government wasn't actively trying to throttle the growth of this industry

In 2022, Donald Trump sued me and others associated with the Clinton campaign for RICO. We did not cave. We fought. First, we won in a Florida trial court. Today, we won in the 11th Circuit. To the law firms, media corps and billionaires who bow down: Learn a lesson. Have some dignity and fight.

Over 200 men were sent by Kristi Noem-in violation of a court order-to the CECOT prison for terrorists She claimed they were criminals. In reality, most had no criminal records, and many had valid claims for asylum They were tortured. Beaten. Sexually abused. Even shot. THERE MUST BE JUSTICE

Awful. Trump admin is deporting a 23-year-old NC woman who came here at the age of 14 as an unaccompanied minor. Her father was murdered and mother died of cancer. All she has are two traffic citations, per this report from Charlotte Observer's Dan Kane: www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
