French President Emmanuel Macron pulls off what could be the greatest diplomatic troll of all time by getting Trump to sign the "$300 Billion US Surrender to Iran" deal in... Versailles. The ignoramus Trump will have been clueless as to the historical significance of the location

[JerryRigEverything @ZacksJerryRig]

The lady with the funny laugh was going to give Americans buying their first homes $25,000 each... and it would cost 100 billion over 10 years.

Trump just gave 3X that amount to Iran. 👍

INSANITY

[Jamie Walters, CAIA @JWalters314]

The European mind understands it perfectly. This is what imperial decadence looks like: public institutions converted into branded spectacle, civic memory replaced by adrenaline theater, and the People’s House turned into a content backdrop for regime propaganda.

The joke is not that Europe cannot comprehend it. The joke is that America no longer recognizes what it is becoming.

The biggest threat to Western liberal market democracy is not Russia, China or Iran, it is Elon Musk promoting race hate. https://t.co/LkEMVCEoFf

I I’ll never forgive people who voted for Trump. This is on them. The Lincoln Memorial is hallowed ground. Where our greatest president, who gave his life to end slavery, is commentated. Where the Gettysburg Address is written. We live as graffiti now.

[Anarc-y princess @SatireAP]

This is from a MAGA livestream today.
The Reflecting Pool is VERY green and VERY disgusting 🤮🤮
Even on the worst days, I never saw it look this bad before.

I told you they were coming for the Roadless Rule.

Yesterday, Republicans made their move — and they hid it inside a wildfire bill.

Here's what makes this so enraging:

59 million acres of America's wildest national forests are now on the table.

The 2001 Roadless Rule has protected nearly 60 million acres across 39 states for 25 years. No logging. No road construction. No drilling. No mining.

Built after 1.6 million Americans showed up — at 430 public hearings nationwide — to demand it.

What lives here: bald eagles, elk, black bears, Cerulean warblers, marbled murrelets. Species that need large, intact, unfragmented habitat to survive. For many of them, roadless forests aren't just home — they're the last places left.

What the amendment does: guts the rule. Opens the backcountry to logging and road construction under the cover of "fire prevention."

The administration is pursuing repeal through the executive branch at the same time. And unlike the original rule — they aren't holding a single public hearing.

1.6 million people showed up to protect these forests.
The administration isn't asking anyone this time.

What do you call a wildfire bill that opens forests instead of protecting them?

It’s absolutely wild that you can be photographed on Epstein Island, evade hearings about your ties to a convicted child predator, and still show your face at an NBA finals game because you're rich and connected.

If that isn’t a broken system, what is?

'A new proposed rule puts OMB atop science, despite not being a science agency staffed by scientists. Actually, it’s worse than that.'

A trillion-dollar military budget.

A president talking about “saving America” while asking for even more money, even more power, and even fewer questions.

The warning signs never arrive wearing a warning label. They arrive wrapped in flags, promises, and applause.

And every empire convinced it was building an “arsenal of freedom” eventually learned what it was really building.
