This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.

"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive.

A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.

You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.

Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.

Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.

And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging, insurrectionist, running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again.

And you're calling Greenland poorly run?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.

'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.

Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.

And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.

So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth."

JUST IN: A Trump judicial nominee was asked point blank: is Trump eligible to run for a third term?

Their answer: “I would have to review the actual wording…”

Sen. Chris Coons then asked every nominee in the room to confirm the Constitution bars a third term.

Silence.

Every single one of them refused to say it.

Trump is appointing judges who won’t affirm the 22nd Amendment to his face.

Never stop connecting the dots.

Anne Applebaum:

„Steve Witkoff nie ma żadnego doświadczenia z Rosją ani dyplomacją. Obawiam się, że wyobraża sobie pakt USA-Rosja, w którym on, jego syn, rodzina Trumpa lub ich krąg odnoszą osobiste korzyści.

To niepokojące, że amerykańska polityka zagraniczna jest prowadzona nie dla dobra USA, sojuszników czy pokoju na świecie, lecz dla prywatnych interesów.

Putin wie, że Trump jest podatny na takie umowy... dlatego ciągle je proponuje.

Witkoff i otoczenie Trumpa zachowują się jak Rosjanie: przejmują państwo i wykorzystują je do osobistego wzbogacenia.”...

Трамп рассылал спонсорам письма, в которых предлагал им доступ к секретным отчётам нацбезопасности за деньги.

Сенатор Марк Келли тычёт в такое письмо носом директора ЦРУ, а тот говорит что ничего о них не знал 😁

Here again, Jon Ossoff manages to explain Don Jr's sudden personal wealth through complex corporate juggling in simple language to a mass audience. His talent is a reputational nightmare for the Trump circle.

🚨🇺🇸 RYAN GRIM DELIVERS A BRUTAL VERDICT ON WHY REPUBLICANS LOST THE MIDTERMS

“If you run a child sex trafficking ring, you then cover it up by waging a war after promising not to wage a war.

And that war drives up prices and breaks the global economy.

And you spend the time getting rich and pushing money towards AI and data centers, you won't do well in the elections.

That's my takeaway.”

Grim's explosive accusations go far beyond the usual explanations for the GOP's defeat. But how much of his argument explains what happened at the ballot box?

It’s official: @rephaleystevens is a 100% traitor and she wants to sabotage the campaign of @abdulelsayed. And she is pimping Black folks by saying that @mikerogersformi will support Black businesses. SHE IS A LIAR. What he will do is support to right wing Supreme Court justices that will continue the GOP War On Black America!

This Forbes investigation is a must-read.

Donald Trump pulled in roughly $1.4 billion from crypto in 2025, plus more than $200 million from real estate, and faced a projected tax bill north of $500 million. So his company donated the "development rights" to his Jupiter, Florida golf course to a land trust, argued the course was a natural habitat worth protecting, and kept right on running the club. Forbes estimates the write-off could land around $825 million.

He has done this at least five times since 2005. New York's attorney general alleged two of those appraisals were inflated. In Doral, he claimed a deduction of up to $323 million, more than double what he paid for the entire resort.

A month after the Jupiter deal, he sued the IRS. The settlement his own Justice Department signed bars claims against him over matters that "could be pending," language that appears broad enough to cover this year's taxes. A federal judge found the case was brought to manipulate the judicial process. And the man now running the IRS, who took the job as this deal was being assembled, has a home backing onto those same Jupiter fairways.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Nobody should be able to use the presidency to write his own tax bill.
