Donald Trump has lost touch with reality for a very long time now. Donald Trump is more unpopular than Richard Nixon was when he resigned after the Watergate Scandal, and he resigned. Will he resign though? Very unlikely. The Founders knew this day would come... Article V Constitutional Convention.

The regime’s response to Ebola is what you'd expect from the man who had the worst COVID response on earth—except DeSantis, who was installed by a man whose passion is plotting the mass deaths of Black and brown people. They don't see public health as a duty; they see it as an opportunity to cull.

Not The Onion

I never imagined I'd be in total agreement with a Pope, but he's absolutely bang on about AI and the people who evangelise it.

Don't forget this.... happened before. www.bbc.com/news/world-u...

Zelensky tells Face the Nation, that the main bottleneck with Patriot missiles today is in production — "it is not the topic of money today." He suggests that Ukraine could build them itself, if it got the manufacturing licenses. www.cbsnews.com/news/volodym...

"When Trump warned Iran that 'a whole civilization will die' foreign diplomats turned to the State Department. Was it real or bluster? Officials there gave an unsettling response: They had no idea. The episode points to a historic breakdown in American diplomacy." www.reuters.com/investigatio...

If DHS is denying that it's putting migrants into unsafe conditions and not providing medical care; and their own inspectors are saying the opposite, then the PR people at DHS and ICE need to go. A PR's job is not to flat lie.

2/3 Friday night, 30 May, a WNBC crew was forced out of a news vehicle where they were editing, sitting out tear gas and crazed lines of state cops in riot gear. Checkey Beckford describes how NJ State Police rousted her and her crew. And, she gives an excellent description of how Friday went down.

The countries with successful universal healthcare have ALSO figured out how to pay for medical education. Canada is an interesting example where they have universal healthcare, but the system is troubled because they have a doctor shortage because they DON'T pay for medical education.

Sons wife slotting in as a "reporter" in government controlled news lofts softballs to demented dictator wannabe. No end of shame!

"Fourth No Kings event will feature a concert with Bette Midler, Patti Smith and Rufus Wainwright streaming nationwide" Awesome, I hope it turns out to be even bigger than the last one 🤞

The reason Republicans demonize California and San Francisco is because *genuinely* if people from other places in America spent any decent amount of time here they’d realize that it’s better educated, richer and a nicer place to live than places run by Republicans.

It’s telling how many of the large news organizations who are flush with money aren’t sending journalists to cover ICE (and now state trooper) violence overnight outside Delaney Hall and the independent outlets with far less financial and insurance coverage are braving it.

At least six Proud Boys in colors are OTG at Delaney Hall for an advertised demonstration for ICE supporters. Screenshots via Mercado Media and Status Coup.

Talarico, amid Paxton’s claims that he’s a vegan, responded: “I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment.”

I'm old enough to remember when Republicans called to impeach Obama for ordering two marines to hold umbrellas when it started pouring during a WH presser with Erdoğan www.cnn.com/videos/besto...

Putin’s cabal must be brought to trial for crimes in Ukraine. With this plan, the world can do that.

NEW: Guards beat and pepper sprayed detainees at Delaney Hall in retaliation for hunger striking, according to relatives we spoke to. Meanwhile, outside, ICE keeps beating and macing solidarity protesters theintercept.com/2026/05/29/i...

The Kennedy Center this evening. An energized crowd sings happy birthday to JFK. Earlier in the day a federal judge ordered Trump’s name removed. A lovely birthday gift to real America. #handsoff #handsoffthearts

Whoever planned this never watched a horror movie in the 1980s.

Eggs are so passé

Bolloré must face severe consequences for using his media empire to spread state propaganda for Russia. Moscow openly claims to be at war with France, so this goes far beyond a valid opinion or freedom of speech. It is a direct act of treason that requires accountability

When I say I won’t read your Substack this is what I mean:

For the U.S. “regime change” always was about changing an “anti-U.S.” regime into a “pro-U.S.” regime, not an authoritarian regime into a democratic regime.

My pub-based anecdata is that many who are aware think that unis are bloated with ‘mickey mouse’ subjects and people conned into going to uni. They only seem worried when I tell them the ‘cheap’ non-STEM degrees subsidise the expensive STEM ones, and STEM subjects are being cut all over the place.

I’m a donor too. Please do so if you are

My joke about the invasion of Ukraine was that after the pandemic, everybody felt they didn't want to put off things that might make them happy: go on a nice holiday, a career change, And in the case of Vladimir Putin a little invasion. But I think it's not ENTIRELY fanciful.

The United States is taking a Fortress America approach to the current #Ebola outbreak, seemingly more concerned about keeping Ebola out than in helping to contain the outbreak at source — even if that means forcing infected Americans to be treated abroad. www.statnews.com/2026/05/28/t...

Everything we are hearing about a possible agreement between the US and Iran confirms what I wrote on Tuesday for The New Republic. newrepublic.com/article/2109... via @newrepublic.com

Genuinely, I think Republican reporters and commentators like this should be strongly encouraged to move to red states. Maybe a few years in rural Tennessee would make them appreciate all the wonderful “blue cities” of America.

*narrator voice* They will in fact just cancel a lot of those flights.

The Justice Dept is suing four Democratic states (WA, OR, MA, ME) for refusing to issue undercover license plates to Homeland Security and ICE agents. The states say ICE tactics have been unacceptable and they'll stand up for their state's citizen safety. apnews.com/article/just...

The President of the United States owes a woman $83 million after two juries found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation. 🧵

Scoop: Central Command is getting reports that military personnel are being targeted using commercially available location data. Few details available, but it’s a sign that the tech industry’s advertising-surveillance complex is having consequences on the battlefield. www.reuters.com/business/med...

Correct framing:

Unbelievable

Déjà vu all over again. Axios reports a US-Iran deal has been reached with Trump still to sign off. -Iran pledges not to pursue nuclear weapons -US to consider sanctions relief and reconstruction pay -Free passage through the Strait of Hormuz with no tolls -60 day period to talk about nukes

It's that time of the year

Netanyahu orders Israeli army to seize ‘70% of Gaza Strip’, violating ceasefire deal

"Novaya Gazeta reported that military hospitals are unable to cope with the influx of wounded soldiers. This has led to the repurposing of civilian hospitals and delays in treating non-military patients." Read more in the latest #BearMarketBrief before the next one comes out.

Q: How close are you to figuring out who's funding antifa? BESSENT: We've made substantial process. I think in the weeks and months ahead, we're gonna have a lot to report. We're going to demand that nonprofits know their grant recipients.

The problem is that they really, really believe that things have never been better.
