Trump losing credibility with the democratic world in
a way that will damage the US for decades

Extraordinary that an American President should prefer dictators

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were filmed trespassing in a fenced-in yard, with their gun drawn, without a warrant, in Joliet, Illinois.

In the video, a person inside the house starts recording after noticing ICE agents were walking around their property.

One agent can be seen with their hand on their gun.

Then, a second agent walks into view with their gun fully drawn… and briefly points it toward the person filming inside the house, before moving out of frame as the person filming yells, “what are you doing?”

A fenced-in yard is not public property.

Under the 4th Amendment, the area immediately surrounding a home, including fenced yards, is considered part of the home itself for constitutional protections. Courts call this the “curtilage” of the home.

Which means federal agents are not supposed to just roam around inside it without a warrant, consent, or an actual emergency circumstance that legally justifies it.

Then there’s the gun…

Because this wasn’t someone charging at officers.

This was a person INSIDE their own home… holding a phone… recording what armed federal agents were doing on their property.

So, what exactly justified drawing a firearm and briefly aiming it toward the person filming?

What immediate threat existed?

This is the kind of behavior that should terrify people regardless of politics… because once armed federal agents start treating constitutional protections like suggestions, no one is safe.

Rights either apply to everyone… or eventually they stop meaning anything at all.

We already have a process for determining whether accusers are credible. It’s called a trial. And a jury already decided they believed E Jean Carroll. THIS is weaponization.

Elon Musk: If Kamala wins she'll hide the Epstein files, & be a threat to democracy.
If Trump wins he'll release the Epstein files, & focus on the people.

This idiot has NEVER been right about anything. 👇

🇳🇱Hybrid war in Europe: a concert pianist ran 800 servers for Russian hackers. Dutch police raided two data centres last week.

They arrested a 39-year-old Russian citizen living in the Netherlands. The pianist’s company allegedly hosted attacks on 🇪🇺European governments and banks.

Who said that culture and politics do not mix?

Russian artillery shelling of Kherson killed a man. His wife and two daughters, aged six and three, were injured - they suffered blast injuries and shrapnel wounds.

The family was at a children's playground at the moment of the attack.

Horrible.

Russians are installing anti-aircraft missile complexes directly from helicopters on the roofs of high-rise buildings in Moscow

It's great that this was filmed, because now high-rises are legitimate military targets. Let the Russians not cry about it later

I recommend that the residents of these buildings dismantle these air defense systems themselves, as the authorities are putting them in danger by installing them on civilian structures

Francis Fukuyama on the U.S. as a declining power:

American decline is a direct product of Trump's rise since 2016.

It is as if Trump had decided to do everything in his power to weaken the United States vis-à-vis China.

He has polarized an already polarized country, cut funding for basic scientific research, and attacked American universities which are the best in the world.

He and his colleagues have openly stated that their domestic opponents — the Democrats — are a far greater threat to the future of the United States than either China or Russia.

There is agreement among America's friends and rivals that the United States has become something of a rogue state that is contributing to global instability and disorder — as well as something of a laughingstock.

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Lets make this viral again 👇

This is Officer
Caroline Edwards.
She was attacked by the insurrectionists on January 6th. They cracked her heac open, resulting in a permanent brain injury.
For all those who support Trump's pardons and say you
"back the blue". You don't. You support fascism.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukraine just turned weather into a weapon.

A weather balloon drifts 26 miles into Russian airspace, reaches 5 miles altitude, then releases an American Hornet kamikaze drone with 95% of its battery still intact and a strike range extended to roughly 75 miles.

No radar signature, no engine noise, just the wind quietly doing all the work.

The part that stings most for Russia: they can't copy it. The prevailing winds in the region blow toward Russia, not away from it.

Ukraine's geographic position turns a basic meteorological fact into a permanent tactical advantage.

Physics picked a side.

When I retired from chess to help launch the pro-democracy movement against Putin in 2005, I was told that politics isn’t like chess, it’s all gray area. But in some things, like the fight between good and evil in Ukraine, it’s black and white. My speech at the Tryzub Gala:

A child who only knew war. A life taken before it could begin.

This is Daria Sapun, 31, and her daughter Anna — just 2 years old.

Anna Sapun was killed in Odessa during a massive russian attack on the night of April 6, 2026. Her mother, Daria, was killed alongside her. They never made it to the shelter.

Anna was a long-awaited child, born on June 23, 2023. She had just started kindergarten. She loved drawing and puzzles.

“Annie was our sunshine — bright, kind, smiling, and very active. She wanted to know everything,” her father Pavel said.

A life stolen by russian terror.
Remember them.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

I’m struck by how often Trump referred to Xi as his “friend” and a “great leader.”

Xi Jinping, chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, is a dictator. He also offered no such reciprocal praise for Trump.

That asymmetry makes Trump appear in a visibly weaker position.

[Yaroslav Trofimov @yarotrof]

Ukraine allows Putin’s May 9 parade to go ahead after Trump’s intervention and a promise to exchange 1,000 Ukrainian POWs. No prisoners have been freed, and Putin after his parade unleashed one of the biggest missile and drone barrages of the war. Here is a Kyiv high-rise where dozens were killed and injured last night, including children, and many more still remain under the rubble.
