BREAKING: Several reporters have printed out copies of Donald Trump's memorandum of understanding with Iran so that, when they find Mike Johnson and he inevitably claims he hasn't seen it, they can give him a dozen copies.

BREAKING: In direct response to Donald Trump's threats to our elections and democracy, Governor Gavin Newsom just signed legislation that will protect Californians from election intimidation and interference. This is huge.

JD Vance: “If you’re born in this country and your parents were not U.S. citizens then you should be deported.”

Grok: “There is no evidence that Usha Vance’s parents were U.S. citizens when she was born in San Diego in 1986.”

Look how quickly the far-right has turned on the Sikh community.

If Donald Trump didn’t want to answer questions from the press why did he become President? Oh right to stay out of prison.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

MAJOR BREAKING: Trump just put Bill Pulte, who has NO background in national security, and weaponized government to go after Trump Critics Letitia James, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Cook, in as the Acting Director of National Intelligence.

If you thought politicizing mortgages was bad, wait until they politicize intelligence.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Republican Congresswoman Kat Cammack just went onto Fox News and ripped apart Donald Trump's anti-weaponization slush fund for January 6th Insurrectionists. When Republicans are going on Fox to do this, you know Trump is in trouble.

BREAKING: A beer was thrown at President Trump during a press conference this morning in Washington. Trump was unharmed. Since the beer was a draft,... he was able to dodge it.

Fortunately, Britain has a Bermuda-registered mass circulation newspaper owned by a French-domiciled billionaire, a television station owned by a Dubai hedge fund and a political party backed by a Thailand-based crypto tycoon to remind us of the importance of patriotism

Why would the AI billionaire-funded Tony Blair Institute urge Labour to adopt policies that are clearly in the interests of AI billionaires? Let me hear your best guesses.

BREAKING: China is reportedly planning to lift its ban on American media during Trump’s White House UFC fight so the Chinese people can see how cringey and undignified the US government has gotten.

Turns out Trump only had a two year window to file a lawsuit over his tax return release. That window closed long before Trump made a deal with the DOJ. The people of the United States owe Trump nothing for a payout. Andrew Weissman says this 1.776 billion dollar slush fund is flat out theft and is not part of his official acts. Trump has no immunity for theft. He said anyone involved in putting together this theft is also open to prosecution.

HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran:

- Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98%

- Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade)

- Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds

- Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz)

- Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility

- Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium

- Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium
Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains

- Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules

- Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years

- Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years

Ooops, sorry!

That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

BREAKING: This is MASSIVE 🔥

🇪🇸 Spain, under Pedro Sánchez, calls for EU sanctions against Israel.

🇮🇹 Italy, under Meloni calls for EU sanctions against Israel.

What a courageous leadership Spain and Italy has got 🔥🫡

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

No nation, no society, and no international order can call itself just and humane if it measures its success solely by power or prosperity while neglecting those who live at the margins. Indeed, Christ’s love for the least and the forgotten compels us to reject every form of selfishness that leaves the poor and the vulnerable invisible.

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

Trump says he wants to 'take' Cuba because he objects to one family using the state as a vehicle for personal enrichment. Let's just leave it there, shall we.
