‼️ WHAT JUST HAPPENED?! EMMANUEL MACRON'S NINE YEARS IN POWER

In 2017, Emmanuel Macron was presented as a new kind of French leader who could revive France and strengthen Europe. Nine years later, his record is far more complicated.

@PaddyNey looks back at Macron's biggest successes and setbacks, from the Yellow Vest protests to pension reform, his decision to dissolve parliament in 2024, and what Macron's presidency could leave behind as France approaches its next presidential election.

‼️ WHAT JUST HAPPENED?! THE CIA CHIEF'S SECRET FLIGHT TO MOSCOW

On August 25, CIA Director John Ratcliffe secretly flew into Moscow aboard a U.S. military transport plane, met with Russian intelligence officials for around eight hours and left without meeting Putin. Nobody has explained exactly what Ratcliffe was there to say.

@PaddyNey looks at the long history of secret missions where one person carried a message into an enemy's territory, from Robert Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis to Henry Kissinger's secret trip to China. He also asks what Ratcliffe's mission might mean, and whether one conversation can still change the course of a war.

🇺🇸 Trump announced plans to convert a long-planned Triumphal Arch near the Arlington Memorial Bridge into a military complex, citing a request from the U.S. Military for national security purposes.

The facility would house drones and snipers on both the roof and plaza, along with large stockpiles of sniper ammunition.

Trump claimed Washington, DC was the only major world capital without a Triumphal Arch, promising this one would be "by far, the greatest of them all."

All Things Left - Is The RNC Really A Trump Cult?

@MacyGunnell says critics focused on Trump’s remarks and empty seats while ignoring the bigger picture. The same behavior gets described differently depending on the party. Just look at the 2024 DNC, where Hollywood actors, musicians, and celebrities played a major role in Harris’s campaign.

ALL THINGS LEFT: 9/11, CHARLIE KIRK, AND THE RNC CONVENTION

5 liberal headlines, 5 arguments, and one recurring question: what happens when we follow the media's logic? From 9/11 coverage and the assassination of Charlie Kirk to Trump's RNC midterm convention, each argument gets a closer look.

And at the heart of it all, @MacyGunnell looks at how context changes the story, from how political violence is covered to how Trump's words and the Republican convention are portrayed.

🇧🇷 @FlavioBolsonaro accused Lula's government of privilege and hypocrisy, claiming officials were "drinking Macallan whiskey, smoking expensive cigars, and laughing at the people's suffering" while ordinary Brazilians struggle.

The jab comes after a leaked photo showed Brazil’s AG Paulo Gonet drinking Macallan whiskey and smoking expensive cigars with jailed ex-banker Daniel Vorcaro at London’s George Club.

🇫🇷 Video shows French military chaplain Father Romain Ghandour addressing paratroopers of the Marine Infantry.

He mocked "lefties" and warned that French culture and values risk being displaced if soldiers lose their courage of conviction.

Ghandour contrasted France's historic builders of basilicas and cathedrals with what he calls today's incompetent people and ideologues, warning that "others will take our place" if the nation loses its resolve.

🇮🇱 Israeli PM Netanyahu vowed that security forces are actively pursuing the terrorist responsible for a deadly attack in Binyamin, West Bank.

He warned that "no terrorist is immune, nor are those who assist them," and promised retaliation in Gaza, Lebanon, and Judea and Samaria.

Netanyahu also confirmed troops separately eliminated a terrorist attempting a similar attack in Samaria.

All Things Left - Is Trump’s GOP Convention Really About Trump?

The AP frames Trump dominating the GOP’s Dallas convention as a potential midterm problem. @MacyGunnell questions whether a party rallying around its sitting president is really “self-indulgence” or simply what political parties do.

🇺🇸🇾🇪 @RepJoeWilson posted "FREE YEMEN FROM IRAN," echoing his newly introduced "Free Yemen from Iran Act."

The bill proposes $300 million in aid for Yemeni security forces and civil society.

It would impose sanctions on Houthi financing and weapons networks, designate the Houthis as a transnational criminal organization, and require regular assessments of Iranian, Russian, and Chinese activity in Yemen.

All Things Left - Who Gets The Sympathy After Charlie Kirk’s Death?

The Hill focuses on Hunter Kozak, who faced harassment after being the last person to question Kirk. @MacyGunnell says the threats were wrong, but asks why the focus isn’t on Kirk’s family and the assassination itself.

🇮🇹 Vigilante-style citizen patrols erupted after residents grew frustrated with drug dealing in their neighborhood, in Rozzano, Italy.

The unrest turned violent, with at least 2 North African men beaten over consecutive nights.

Rozzano's mayor, Mattia Ferretti, publicly distanced the town from the vigilante violence and pointed instead to Friday's separate, "peaceful intercultural walk" involving "actual local residents" as the "true" representation of the community.

All Things Left - Did Charlie Kirk Become A Meme?

@MacyGunnell looks at The Intercept’s claim that the right tried to turn Charlie Kirk into a martyr, while blaming the backlash on how seriously his death was treated. The article never explains how that justifies mocking a political murder.

🇺🇸 Ed Sheeran addressed the Macklemore controversy at Saturday's show, calling what's happening in Gaza "catastrophic and unjustifiable" and admitting "I'm making mistakes, and I'm so so sorry."

He's calling the suffering a "human tragedy," while explaining he's generally tried to keep his concerts focused on "unity, joy, escapism, love" rather than personal politics.
