This reads like an assassination/murder by disclosure. Ahmadinejad is going to face consequences for all this blabber which makes work with Israeli or US intelligence by any self-preserving person much less likely 🙄
EXCLUSIVE: Our investigation into Israel's secret operation to cultivate Ahmadinejad and turn him into an asset. His trips to Budapest were a front to meet Israelis, including Mossad chief David Barnea. Gift link w/ @MarkMazzettiNYT@julianbarnes@ronenbergman

Liberals who voted for Obama, Hillary, Biden, and Harris AND who also called out #Project2025, Gabbard, Fetterman, and Platner, etc. have been right about everything.
We told you! And the past 10-11 years show it.
Biden passed the largest climate bill in U.S. history. The Inflation Reduction Act directed $370 billion toward renewable energy. It was supported unanimously by Congressional Democrats.
Republicans are literal climate deniers. Why are you attacking Democrats instead of them?
Starting in early 2025, Elon Musk and the Trump administration began terminating USAID's programs and firing its staff — with Musk himself boasting about "feeding it into the woodchipper." One year ago today, USAID was officially dissolved, its remaining programs haphazardly folded into the State Department. Amid all the lies and misinformation that have followed, some facts about what has actually been lost:
• USAID saved more than 3 million lives a year at a cost of less than $10/month per American. That is what was destroyed. On purpose.
• According to Boston University's Global Impact Counter — which tracked deaths attributable to the cuts until it stopped operations in February 2026 — an estimated 781,000 people died preventable deaths in the first year, including 518,000 children.
• Global child mortality (the number of children who die before their fifth birthday) rose in 2025 for the first time in 35+ years — by 200,000 additional deaths.
• USAID's 50-country disease surveillance network — the system that cut outbreak response times from 2 weeks to 48 hours — is gone. We are now watching an unprecedented Ebola outbreak unfold in real time — with the highest first-month caseload and death rate in modern history.
• Programs reaching 93 million women and children were cut 92%. TB programs cut 56%. Water and sanitation cut 86%. Over 2,000 health facilities permanently closed.
• 25 million fewer people received humanitarian assistance in 2025. The overall humanitarian budget was slashed 74% — from $14.1 billion to $3.7 billion.
• 363 million people face acute hunger in 2026. The famine early-warning system that would have seen it coming went dark for five months.
• $1.7 billion in democracy and governance funding (election monitoring, anti-corruption work, support for independent media and civil society) was terminated.
• 360+ independent media outlets lost funding. Hundreds of legal clinics closed.
• Far from saving money, the Trump administration itself has already said the dismantlement will cost taxpayers at least $19.2 billion in cancellation fees, severance, and penalties. That's more than half of USAID's annual budget — spent on destruction and closeout, not support for vulnerable people.
• American farmers, universities, and businesses are among the casualties too. USAID partnered with more than 3,500 U.S. companies and maintained 17 university-based research labs. Its work with U.S.-based contractors and the private sector generated hundreds of thousands of American jobs and multiplied the return on every dollar spent. Those markets and partnerships are gone.
The Dem establishment and Dem centrists can wring their hands and complain about the results in Colorado.
Or they can learn a lesson: Their repudiation was in large part about their perceived unwillingness to stand up firmly and unhesitatingly to Trump.
So start doing so!
Not a single Democrat or self-proclaimed moderate should vote to confirm anybody to the Supreme Court over the next two years. And if you have a problem with that, blame Mitch McConnell.

What Joyce Carol Oates wrote to Elon Musk on Twitter. I am told it rattled him. I love it.
“So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates – scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’”
It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7
You've got to be kidding me with this shit...You could've built a relationship with Iranian government officials by TALKING WITH THEM and not bombing the shit out of their country! They fucking hate you! This has to be Steve Witkoff. No one else sounds this dumb so consistently.
The story is even more alarming when you read the whole thing. A normal American president would be rallying the G7 today to confront the Russians on this and all the incidents Putin has been efforting to destabilize the West. Alas…
CNN's resident fact-checker Daniel Dale hasn't conducted an on-air fact check of Trump in more than three months, a stretch that coincidentally began around the same time Paramount announced its merger with WBD

If you think California is taking a while to count votes, wait until you hear how long the Trump Administration is taking to release the Epstein files…

Ah yes, tell me more about how the mainstream media is “far left.”
