Trump is now all but the most unpopular second-term president at this stage of their tenure in the history of polling. The only exception: Nixon had even less public support at this stage but at that point he was just days away from resigning. https://t.co/YKxTl6e9Z3

#BREAKING: Dana Bash: “And you’re 100% sure that what happened with the liner was vandalism, you can prove it?”

Sec Burgum: “Oh you absolutely can, and as we drain it, we’ve got all the photographs. We can see we can see I mean there’s there’s no possible way…”

Dana: “…the photographs of a person or people cutting a 300 or 350 foot gash in the bottom of the reflecting pool?” 

Sec Burgum: “Dana, I’m not sure why you and others in the media think that you want to keep trying to question…”🤦‍♀️

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

This is really Mad King stuff.

Trump demands that people be arrested for destroying his reflecting pool. Judge Jeanine, the TV host he hired to be District Attorney, finally drops the case and says that the pool was damaged because the renovation was botched.

Trump goes to Truth Social and declares that she is wrong, and he still thinks it was vandalism.

The man is so insane but can't even find people corrupt enough to do what he wants.

Nearly every figure Trump appoints ends up being more principled and honest than Trump, even though he selects them for loyalty.

I guess maybe JD Vance and Stephen Miller are exceptions.

It's amazing what a terrible human being he is. Everyone is better than this man.

What does this say about the Republican voter?

BREAKING: President Trump says he has cancelled the US attack on Iran and that the “perimeters of a deal” have been agreed to.

Trump says this deal will include “a total reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.”

[The Hormuz Report @HormuzReport]

BREAKING: The U.S. has reportedly requested another round of talks with Iran through Qatar at the last minute. Tehran is reportedly reviewing the proposal, but Iranian officials have repeatedly signaled the current terms are unacceptable, making rejection the most likely outcome, according to Iranian media.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran directly warns that any US or Israeli attack on Iran's energy infrastructure will send the entire Middle East "back to the Stone Age," dismissing the US's new bombing plans as "a delusion Netanyahu has whispered in Trump's ear."

"They think that in the two days the market is closed they can deliver a decisive and rapid blow to us and force Iran to surrender, it is a delusion that Netanyahu has whispered into Trump’s ear," said spokesman for the Iranian Parliament's National Security Committee Rezaei.

"If a strike is made on Iran, we will return the entire region and its facilities to the Stone Age. It is in your best interest not to act foolishly."

[Jesse Livermore @Jesse_Livermore]

Hard to even process -- a president selling market-moving information to banks and wealthy investors in advance of everyone else, and personally pocketing hundreds of millions of dollars from it. This alone is more worthy of impeachment than 100 Watergate cover-ups.

Show this to your MAGA friends who try to paint a picture of a collapsing Europe.

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

The Russians fired 35 missiles at Ukraine last night, 27 of them ballistic. Only a single ballistic missile was shot down—simply because there are no missiles left for the Patriot system, according to Zelenskyy.
In Kyiv alone: ​​9 dead and at least 23 injured as a result of the Russian attack.

And no, Trump will not supply Patriots to Ukraine, and no, Trump will likely not allow Ukraine to produce Patriots itself.

And yes, Trump is doing everything he can to help Putin destroy Ukraine.

[Carl Bildt @carlbildt]

Worth noting how both the MAGA circles in the 🇺🇸 and the entire 🇷🇺 propaganda machine went overdrive over the Ceuta 🇪🇸 crisis. Facts didn’t count - FoxNews and VP JD Vance thought Ceuta was in Northern Spain when it factually is in Africa.

The strange story of Ceuta: 50,000 people suddenly converge on the Spanish enclave - only to return to Morocco 24 hours later 1/4

This isn’t a family photo.

It’s a throne room still from a mid-budget soap opera about a casino owner who accidentally became emperor.

The room looks like Versailles fucked a Dubai lobby and the baby never stopped doing gold leaf.

Matching sequin tuxes and gowns so dense the camera is photographing a disco ball convention.

Everyone smiling like the entire point of America was to end up right here, covered in sparkles, on gold chairs, under gold chandeliers.

This isn’t luxury.

This is what happens when someone discovers the color gold and decides restraint is for poor people.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

From Donald Trump's ballroom to the gilded statues to the arc de Trump, Washington DC is being remade, Mar-a-Lago-style.

The President says it's about making the city beautiful again, but with lawsuit after lawsuit being filed by conservation groups, critics are asking whether Trump's motive is less about preserving the nation's capital and more about preserving his own legacy.

The warehouses that fuel russia's war machine are burning.

The war russia exported is coming home.

Daughter of a BJP politician, Yashaswinee Raje Singh, tells Al Jazeera why she supports India’s student-led protests and how the Cockroach Janta Party galvanised Gen Z.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

India’s Education Minister has resigned after 36 days of continuous demonstrations by Cockroach Janta Party-led youth protesters.

The movement, which began as satire, grew into nationwide protests following scandals over exam papers.
