What this means is that the jury verdict that determined that @realDonaldTrump had sexually abused my friend E. Jean Carroll by penetrating her vagina with his fingers, and therefore had defamed her by denying that he had done so, will stand as a final and conclusive judgment.

The highly respected district judge who tried the case, the Hon. Lewis A. Kaplan, correctly stated multiple times that the jury's finding of sexual abuse under New York law meant that, in common parlance and under the law of most jurisdictions, Donald Trump was found to have raped E. Jean.

So henceforth and forever more, it will be completely accurate—and utterly inactionable under the common and constitutional law of defamation—to state the following fact:

DONALD J. TRUMP IS AN ADJUDICATED RAPIST.

The Lessons I Learned from My Dad

I am not the man my father is.
I am trying. Some days closer. Some days farther.
He never sat me down and explained these lessons. He lived them. I’m still learning them.

Show up.
The kitchen table. The hospital room. The funeral. The picket line. The call from the son who won’t answer.
Show up.
Most days that’s the whole job.
My whole life I watched him do it. Not for cameras. Not for headlines. Not because there was something in it for him. He showed up because someone needed him.

I learned that grief doesn’t make you special.
My father buried a wife and daughter. He buried a son. Yet he never treated grief as a claim on other people’s sympathy. Instead, it made him notice theirs.
A mother who lost a child. A father sitting beside a hospital bed. A kid scared about what comes next. A son who lost his mother, his sister, his brother.
He always noticed.

I learned that power is not the point.
The people who chase power eventually confuse the office with themselves.
My father never did.
Whether he was a county councilman, a senator, vice president, or president, he was the same man.
The title changed.
He didn’t.

I learned that family comes first.
The train from Wilmington wasn’t symbolism.
It was every night.
He read to us. Showed up to games. Sat through hospital rooms. Waited up for children who were lost.
And when the day came that the country and the family could not both have him at full strength, he chose family. He relinquished the last chapter of how he wanted to be remembered. And he never complained about it.

Most of all, I learned that love is not soft.
Love is discipline.
Love is showing up at one in the morning when nobody is watching.
Love is answering the phone.
Love is staying.
Love is getting back up after life knocks you down and doing it all again tomorrow.
That love saved my life.
I’ve failed at many of these lessons, sometimes in very public ways.
He loved me anyway.

That’s the last lesson.
I am not trying to become my father.
I am trying to carry what he gave me.
And if I can do that, even imperfectly, that will be enough.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you.

President @realDonaldTrump is the greatest blessing to European unity we could have ever asked for.

Thank you Mr President!

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

Every country should follow Meloni’s lead and cancel all their official visits to Trump’s America. He’s a shitstain on humanity and deserves ZERO international respect. Plus he’s a child-raping pedophile and smells like shit.

На жаль, Президент Польщі Кароль Навроцький вдався до недружнього акту щодо нашого народу, позбавивши Президента України раніше врученого йому ордена Білого Орла.

Безумовно, це подарунок для московського агресора, який той обов’язково використає проти обох наших країн.

Наші народи мають давні взаємини й різні сторінки історії – як героїчні, так і трагічні. Однак це має бути приводом для глибокого осмислення, а не грубих політичних спекуляцій. Україна не вказує жодному іншому народові, як вчити його історію. Тож і ми залишаємо за собою справедливе право на власну національну пам'ять та гідність.

Переконаний, що цей жест Президента Польщі не про справедливість абощо. Адже про яку справедливість може бути мова, якщо ордена Білого Орла, наприклад, досі не позбавлено італійського фашистського диктатора й пособника Гітлера Беніто Муссоліні?

Україна, без сумніву, дасть оцінку цій події. Та попри все ми й далі міцно стоятимемо на засадах відкритого партнерства з усіма нашими союзниками. Однак партнерства рівноправного, заснованого на принципах взаємоповаги.

Україна продовжить битися в авангарді захисту всієї Європи, зокрема Польщі, сплачуючи найдорожчу ціну.

Та як і будь-який українець, я не можу лишатися осторонь і просто спостерігати за тим, як проти наших громадян безпідставно й штучно розкручується маховик ненависті.

З огляду на це я відмовляюся від Золотого офіцерського хреста ордена «За заслуги перед Польщею», яким мене нагородив минулого року Президент Польщі.

Впевнений, що українське суспільство – і військові, і цивільні – відчувають такі ж емоції та підтримають цей крок.

Слава Україні!

Kansas just renamed itself Iran to unlock $300 billion in federal funding

While Anthropic is fighting with the US government, Europe quietly built the most powerful AI in the world

Mistral, the best EU model, completely dominated competition in the most crucial benchmark

We must now ban access to Mistral for all Americans

It's just too powerful. It's a matter of national EU security

Did you notice how Trump tried to surrender to Iran about 40 times before he realized that bribing them was the only way to reopen the Strait of Hormuz?
