Reports that Jared Kusher and Steve Witkoff will be joining the Vice President for peace talks with Iran being hosted by Pakistan on Saturday

If that is the case then it’s 50/50 that the United States will end up at war with Pakistan by Sunday

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

It amuses me that MAGA think their attack line on AOC going forward can be 'she's just a bartender' or she's 'dumb' when I can't think of a single MAGA congressman who could speak like this, for two minutes, on this topic, at an international forum like Munich. Not one.

You can’t have an economy with the rich doing everything they can to avoid paying tax and moving to tax havens.

I mean, places like Jersey and the Cayman Islands and Monaco have been colonised by these millionaires and billionaires.

🚨 BREAKING: In response to Trump saying he couldn’t understand Bad Bunny’s halftime show because it was in Spanish, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fired back:

“I barely know what Trump is saying half the time, so… I feel him.”

Lmao 😭😂

Ironic that Starmer faces being forced from office over the Epstein files, despite not being in them, while Trump’s name is in them 38,000 times but he gets to keep posting racist nonsense and falling asleep in meetings while facing neither impeachment nor calls to resign

[Liam OConnor @SocialistLiam]

Starmer should stay on, if for no other reason than we need to return to stability with a prime minister completing a full parliament, rather than continuing our slow transformation into a Northern European version of Italy, albeit with inferior food and much better TV

[Liam OConnor @SocialistLiam]

To be fair to Laura it is tough to find people on TV who look like her because not that many people look like a melting wax work of themselves

[Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer]

Illegal aliens and Latin hookers twerking at the SuperBowl.

Not a single white person or English translation at the Super Bowl.

This isn’t White enough for me.

Cant even watch a Super Bowl anymore because immigrants have literally ruined everything.

This is hilarious on so many levels:

1. He shows he has no attention span
2. He proves he is as stupid as he looks
3. He further embarrasses the pathetic people who look up to him
4. The only book plot he could think of was clearly a kid’s book with a pirate

Andrew Tate says his brain is too advanced to read books.

[Alex & Books 📚 @AlexAndBooks_]

Andrew Tate explaining why he doesn't read books is the funniest video I've watched all week 🤣

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

They care for aging parents, work in small and large companies, and harvest the food on our tables. On weekends, they walk in our parks and play on the local amateur soccer team.

For me, the choice is clear.

Here is my article for @nytimes:

[Rebecca Ballhaus @rebeccaballhaus]

Four days before Trump’s inauguration, lieutenants to an Abu Dhabi royal secretly signed a deal w/the Trump family to buy a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial for $500M, according to documents & people familiar.

The buyer paid half up front, steering $187M to Trump family entities and $31M to Witkoff entities.

The investment was backed by the UAE national security adviser, Tahnoon bin Zayed. The deal put two executives at his company, G42, on the board of WLF, alongside Eric Trump and Zach Witkoff.

The invidious position that Trump and his cronies find themselves in is that we can all watch the videos and look at the photographs of their crimes.

They can lie and slander as much as they like, but they ultimately cannot fool anyone who takes a moment to look at the evidence.

[Liam OConnor @SocialistLiam]

Democrats should be publicly saying;

- We will block funding for DHS

- We will introduce legislation preventing ICE from being deployed over state and local objections

- We will note the names of those who order and carry out murder so they can be later put on trial

[Liam OConnor @SocialistLiam]

You know the Board of Peace is legit because two of its members - Putin and Netanyahu - couldn’t attend the signing ceremony because they are both wanted war criminals with outstanding arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court

[Simon Schama @simon_schama]

excellent realism from @alexstubb

[Liam OConnor @SocialistLiam]

It’s far too premature to call time on America and its hegemony, but in the future we may look back at this period as something of an inflection point in America’s role in the world, and how Trump accelerated its decline

[Liam OConnor @SocialistLiam]

The “end of empire” rhetoric can get overblown and over used in the context of the USA

[Liam OConnor @SocialistLiam]

While at the same time it not only alienates its allies but watches them court other major powers like China
