A former exec at Trump's Atlantic City casino told CNN that Epstein & Trump brought three under-21 girls to the gambling floor. Of course, Trump's White House calls it fabricated. Lying liars lie.

"Hungary is a reminder it's critical to contest power forcefully while you still can."

In the end, Hungarians showed us not only how to beat a thuggish nationalist, but also how to defeat our own stubborn cynicism. Set some Google news alerts. Get a little invested. The future can still be ours. Nothing is inevitable.

But here is something small and significant: Follow the global democracy movement like you follow your favorite sport. Or like you follow movies. Or pop culture. Or celebrity gossip. Or the stock market. Be like Jonah – for the era of the autocrat.

India is using AI to disenfranchise (mostly) Muslim voters.

The soft on crime Pope will simply hear the allegations and move the President to another parish

I hope "vanced out" will enter the popular lexicon!

Wow, J.D. really vanced the hell out of the Hungarian presidential election

Exactly. The Pakistan "negotiations" were a clown show. “Twenty-one hours was 20 hours too many if the goal was to reiterate a demand Iran had already rejected. It was many hours too few if the goal was to negotiate.”

Pete Hegseth is running an illegal war and putting American lives at risk. He has no business leading the Pentagon. Demand Congress impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth today.

pope leo is weak on crime lmao. sometimes priests wear a cape type situation but he’s not batman, dude.

Trump isn’t beating the antichrist allegations with these attacks on the pope

Here's an article wit can appreciate about unker language. Of course, git can as well.

Trump worries about "volatile, difficult, unpredictable people" having access to nuclear weapons.

A blockade of the strait is clearly a violation of international law. Countries that participate will be recognized as lawless.

The BBC is reporting that most people don't trust #AI (LLMs, that is) and spend as much time fact checking its answers as using them in their work. Contrary to their reporting, that's good news! LLMs are teaching people the value of critical thinking. They need to fact check human sources as well.

Explosive Media music videos are pro-Iranian propaganda. They might go over better in the US if they were simply anti-Trump. In any case, they are fun to watch and hear...

🧵 Thread of European leaders reacting to Péter Magyar's victory and Viktor Orbán's defeat. Ursula von der Leyen: "Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger."

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of Hungary has accepted defeat in his country’s election after 16 years in power, with the opposition on course for a landslide win 
Péter Magyar is set to be the country's new PM Hungary will turn away now from Russia’s President Putin & boost relations with rest of EU

🚨🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Opposition leader Péter Magyar WINS the election for prime minister of Hungary, defeating Putin and Trump’s ally Viktor Orbán. 🇭🇺

BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution

During crucial negotiations with Iran that will affect economies worldwide, our “President” and “Secretary of State” are at a cheesy fake wrestling match. We are no longer a country that should be taken seriously.

"We need to imagine a ... more generous country, ... rather than [one] is driven by the moral poverty of billionaires."

The welfare of Americans doesn't interest Trump. Killing people does.

Having endangered the oil trade by illegally attacking Iran, Trump now wants to make his failure complete by blockading Hormuz. So much winning!

Democrats should seriously consider a national ad campaign with clips of Republicans refusing to do their jobs, demanding they repay their congressional salaries.

Trump's need to inflate his ego and distract from Epstein trumped all of his advisors, of course. He ignored his own advisers on: the feasibility of regime change, the likelihood that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz, and the time required to achieve strategic objectives.

A fresh start is always a good thing.

Dumber and Dumbest out on the town while the world waits on important matters. This fucking guy.

A couple weeks ago, Nicholas Keung at the Toronto Star reported on how generative AI is being used to assess immigration applications in Canada...and how it's led to refusals because of stuff the AI tool added in, that humans (clearly) failed to check. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

Pete Hegseth is overseeing reckless war crimes and endangering U.S. troops. He must be removed. Tell Congress: impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth immediately.

Trump says his supporters are free to commit federal crimes for the next three years.

After extensive practice in Gaza, Israel brings genocide to Lebanon.

Vance fails to negotiate peace with in Iran after spending an astonishing 21 whole hours negotiating He’s headed home for new eyeliner I guess

Tbh not really sure why people who adamantly opposed any action being taken against Israel up until Jan 2025 are now suddenly writing fan fiction about what they hope a Dem does to Israel in 2029

Kushner looks like even he can’t believe he’s getting away with being a lead negotiator when he’s the son in law of the president and their family has billions of dollars worth of deals in the region

There seem to be plenty of lying, vindictive scum in Louisiana's state government.

While reading the news from Budapest, take a moment to look at this photo of Hungarian-American Bela Lugosi at an antifascist rally in Los Angeles during the war.

I never thought we’d be here so soon again after COVID. Facing the real risk that our two Foodbanks that thousands of refugee families rely on each month for their survival, could run out of fuel. But that’s what the fuel crisis is placing at risk. Donate here: donate.asrc.org.au/urgent-food-...

🚨Major wake-up call from Europe. Dutch Chief of Defense Gen. Onno Eichelsheim says the continent is ramping up its own military capabilities — fast. Drones, unmanned systems, and “cheap advanced tech” are key as Europe pushes to reduce reliance on the US. “Freedom is no longer a given,” he warns.

Anthropic's Mythos AI can spot flaws in almost every computer on earth. Uh-oh.

I understand why people are using the the term "Gazafication of Lebanon," but there is a long history to Israel's current tactics that long predates 2023. It used to be the "Dahiyeh Doctrine," a term that references the 2006 July War. That said, Israel's 1982 Lebanon invasion is a key precedent 1/4

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.
