Un café avec... David Frum | Trump, Carney et l’œil du cyclope https://t.co/jf5ZzCaWRN

[Emily Schrader - אמילי שריידר امیلی شریدر @emilykschrader]

For years, Israel was accused of “targeting journalists” in Gaza. Now Al Jazeera has fired 24 Gaza-based staff amid a US lawsuit alleging ties and support by the Qatari network to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad

"U.S. benchmark steel prices have risen nearly 30% this year to $1,237 a ton as of Thursday. Steel prices have risen 49% over the past 12 months." https://t.co/WfPMj9iieI

The United States of America now pays more to borrow for 10 years than Canada or Germany ... more than once-bankrupt Greece or under-the-Russian-gun Estonia. What's going on? Watch or listen to the weekend edition of the David Frum show. https://t.co/VV3H7jeayV

After creating the biggest split between Europe and the U.S. in decades with his claim on 🇬🇱 Greenland, Trump agrees a deal that keeps things pretty much as they are — with a garnish of pledges that things that were never going to happen, like Chinese and Russian military bases on the island, won’t happen. https://t.co/XA7Vj5ZTKE

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

So, after eighteen months of lying on the supermarket floor screaming at Denmark, Donald Trump has been handed the 1951 defence agreement, which already gave America bases and the run of Greenland for as long as NATO exists, and which it was using so enthusiastically that it closed sixteen of its seventeen installations there. The grown-ups have simply wrapped the toy he already owned in shiny new paper, told him it was the biggest present anyone has ever had, and he is now running round the garden showing it to everyone. He will certainly make the history books, although I fear not in the chapter he was hoping for.

[Pew Research Center @pewresearch]

There is growing evidence that Republicans have become somewhat less likely than Democrats to participate in polls, particularly in the past three presidential elections.

In 2020 and 2024, weighting our post election polls by party improved accuracy by about 1-2 percentage points per candidate.

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

Motaz Azaiza is forcing a reckoning the “pro‑Palestine” movement never anticipated. Because he’s celebrated by activists, politicians, and journalists and can’t be smeared as a “Zionist shill,” his admission carries weight: Gaza’s journalism space functioned under Hamas’s control, and any reporter who deviated from the group’s narrative risked “disappearing behind the sun.” That single truth reshapes how we understand the stories pushed out of Gaza since October 7 and explains why dissent against Hamas’s rule never surfaced publicly. Western journalists and outsiders, unaware of this coercive ecosystem, ended up amplifying Hamas’s information warfare rather than scrutinizing it.

[The Free Press @TheFP]

"Antisemitism is a lie that people use to gain or maintain power. And the lie is always the same: Jews are destroying what you value most."

@DaraHorn joined @coldxman at the 92nd Street Y to discuss her new book, ‘The Final Solution to the Jewish Question,’ and why she thinks Jew-hatred has less to do with hate than with power.

“Warren Buffett has truly been, and will remain, one of a kind,” Seth A. Klarman wrote in 2025. He explores what made Buffet an American role model: https://t.co/Dg3TuCRxmA

Trump marvels that he “could have banned fishing” and driven the CEO of Bass Pro Shops “right the hell out of business” if he wanted to.

“The power of this office is crazy!”

“I think I'm going to do that. .. Just for a day or two, till he calls me and he says, ‘Please, president, please.’”

[Rick Garnett @RickGarnett]

Should be required reading / listening for American college kids (and Macklemore).

In a now deleted tweet on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Abdul el-Sayed expressed the same the blame-America view voiced also by Hasan Piker. Putting a bag over Piker's big mouth may temporarily quiet the candidate's problem, but won't change it.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

I suppose we're all lucky that Trump cares more about musical theater than defending the Union, or else it would be the Lincoln Memorial rather than the Kennedy Center that would now face demolition

[ProPublica @propublica]

“The secretive, close relationship between the son of a sitting U.S. President and a member of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s inner circle raises serious national security and public corruption concerns,” Rep. Robert Garcia wrote.
