Think only soldiers go to war? Peace Makers, Peter Ricketts’ fascinating story of UK diplomats facing off against the enemy during WWII, will change your mind with tales of grit, ingenuity, and dedication. Some of those diplomats never came home. They also served. True today as it was then.

Trump’s henchmen will destroy the World Cup. Bet on it.

He is truly delusional.

There’s a question?

Look in the mirror,Ted, look in the mirror.

I love New York. Best damn city in the world.

Guess it wasn’t!

Schrödinger’s War.

It’s the best Sunday of the year! Tony Awards Sunday is finally here. Excuse me while I replay the wonderful“Ragtime” cast album. Again.

Too much snark today. Even from me. I’m out.

The most corrupt Administration in American history. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/06/u...

I do get emotional at this speech every time I read it

The CBS that protected and promoted Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather will now be the CBS that protects Donald Trump. zurl.co/S6SC7

We do remember.

The criticism of Trump, Kennedy, and Bhattacharya that was so subversive that the ADA had to eject the Editor-in-Chief of their flagship journal from their annual meeting for sharing it? Prior today it had fewer than 1000 views. Do your thing.

Yes. Musical theater sings our stories.

Remember the current NIH director going on about protecting researchers from government censorship? Today his people called the police in to forcibly remove my colleagues from their own society meeting for sharing an editorial published in their flagship journal that was critical of him. Gift link

You knew the Trump administration was going to screw this up. Bigly.

Because if you don’t like what the intelligence agency tells you, you just kill it. Yeah, sure, that makes a lot of sense. The stable genius strikes again.

The ones that are getting visas to play in the U.S., you mean to say.

This a a cat check point. Relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone. #ProofofCat

Too late.

Heroes are still among us.

America, the beautiful 🧵

The GOP War on Women continues.

Trump just all but admitted he wants his DNI (who wields the enormous powers of the national security state) to help him steal the midterms. Seems like that should be a big deal.

Of course CBS is paying the less qualified, less experienced male more than they paid his female predecessor. I never expected it would be otherwise with these guys.

“I have already experienced torture in my home country of Cameroon and I never thought I would experience such severely violent treatment by guards here in the United States of America.” We are shamed. And rightly so.

Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi. The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges. America must secure her release NOW.

During my career, I worked for 11 different secretaries of state. Some, frankly, were better than others. However, I never worked for a secretary of state who lied so consistently, blatantly, and deliberately as Marco Rubio. It’s shameful and embarrassing. And an insult to the American people.

These are the kinds of changes that will be harder to reverse

Intelligence skills and capabilities, military effectiveness and reach, and diplomatic presence and engagement are critical components of national security, both complementary and reinforcing. So, Trump and Rubio are hollowing out the State Department. Apparently, we no longer need diplomats.

Juan Ciscomani just voted to keep sending our sons and daughters to war with no plan and no strategy. I've heard from devastated parents whose kids are deploying or already there. We cannot send another generation into harm's way without a plan to bring them home. Southern Arizona deserves better.

MAJOR BREAKING: The House, led by Democrats, just voted to stop Trump’s ability to continue the Iran War without congressional approval. It just passed 215 to 208!

The Civil Service works for you. Trump and his henchmen are destroying it. Deliberately. Remember that when FEMA no longer shows up, your Social Security check is screwed up, the national park near you is trashed, your veterans’ hospital closes. The government IS people. You will miss them.

For thousands of children in 🇺🇦, milestones from birthdays to graduations have become bittersweet. Instead of gathering in homes or restaurants, many spend these occasions at cemeteries beside the graves of parents who gave their lives defending Ukraine. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Lots of bots here today…blocking away!

- story leaks - White House calls it fake news - Trump confirms the initial story - White House pretends they never denied it - repeat

We do need to get this straight. Mandelson was dealing with Epstein, Bannon and their coterie and securing introductions to their buddy Nigel Farage, who was, of course, positively delighted with the appointment of Mandelson as ambassador in DC... it meant a reunion of the whole Epstein class!

AAD member Amb. Ryan Crocker, with Michael Baumgartner, notes the importance of diplomacy for U.S. interests in the Near East. Troubled by current U.S. diplomatic infrastructure, he highlights the Foreign Service Act’s proposed Diplomatic Reserve Corps. www.newsweek.com/the-us-cant-...

“I’m Kid Rock.” “I’m Naomi Wolf.” “I’m Kanye West.” “I’m Matt Taibbi.” “I’m Catturd. Those stories, plus Rob Schneider, tonight on 60 Minutes.”

Not good.

CBS is now like Tass, Pravda and RT. State run media in an authoritarian country.

Tucsonans decorated their bikes with custom spoke cards — some with roses, some with butterflies, some reading "No ICE" — before rolling out together Friday evening in a community solidarity ride for Karla Toledo.

“Unusual scrutiny”? Interesting term for using race and sex to block or destroy the careers of military officers, Wall Street Journal.

Rubio lies.

The Brits do it better. Puffins! None of this sucking up to power $250 banknote BS that our Treasury Secretary has proposed.

Trump's Iran War has already killed thousands and sent oil prices skyrocketing. His response to negotiations collapsing? "I don't care if they're over [...] I thought they started to get very boring." The entire world is suffering because of Trump — and he just doesn't care.
