Trump told me this a couple of hours before Bibi struck Iran. He has turned himself into a prisoner of other people's decisions.

🚨🇮🇱🇮🇷 BREAKING

The Israeli Air Force has reportedly begun retaliatory strikes on Iran. Multiple explosions reported in Tehran's western suburbs.

Unconfirmed. But this is the strike Netanyahu told Trump he was planning. The one Trump tried to stop

I just got goosebumps during this Tony Award speech omg

"Ballroom welcomes everyone. To the 12-year-old kid who doesn't fit in who might be watching this on a television in their bedroom with the volume turned low, come find your home at the Jellicle Ball. Ballroom is about chosen family. "

[Epstein File Search @epsteinsearchin]

House Oversight says the Epstein probe is expanding. New subpoenas.

In February 2025, this same committee sent FBI Director Patel a letter demanding every Epstein document in the bureau's possession.

Sixteen months later. Still demanding the same files.

Anthony Scaramucci: “My name is President Hillary Clinton. I’ve blown up the country by getting into a forever war, I campaigned on affordability and jacked the prices to the moon, but I’m focused on interior decorating and remaking the ballroom. I want to ask you, what do you think Fox News would be doing?”

Don Lemon: “Excoriating, they’d be running her out of DC, they would want to impeach her, they would say she’s inept and why is she focusing on such frivolous things”

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Our support for Ukraine is ironclad.

We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes. Ukraine’s security is Europe’s security.

Slava Ukraini.

Gaza is taking its last breaths, and the situation we have reached is extremely dangerous.

Temperatures are rising to suffocating levels, and the tents where hundreds of thousands live have turned into ovens made of fabric and plastic. There is no electricity, no air conditioning, no fans, no cold water. People try to sleep, but heat, hunger, and fear make sleep seem like an impossible dream.

Clean water is scarce, cleaning supplies are almost nonexistent, and essential medicines are unavailable. Skin diseases are spreading in a terrifying way among children and adults, while garbage piles up and sewage mixes with displacement areas, spreading even more suffering.

Long lines form for food, yet many return empty handed. Aid is decreasing, and most relief centers have stopped or are no longer able to meet even the minimum needs.

At night, rats, insects, snakes, and scorpions crawl into the tents, while during the day people face unbearable heat and endless hunger. There is no safety, no privacy, and nowhere to go. Meanwhile, killings and destruction continue daily, while Gaza’s space shrinks day by day, forcing people into smaller and more overcrowded areas.

This is not life. This is not displacement. This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity.

What more is the world waiting for? How many children must go hungry? How many patients must die before the world acts? Do not stay silent. Speak about Gaza. Share what is happening.

I don't think pro teams and athletes should be forced to celebrate Pride. It should be voluntary. I appreciate knowing which teams and athletes refuse. I appreciate knowing where LGBTQ people aren't welcome. It makes it easy to avoid those athletes and not support those teams.

[Terry Moran 🇺🇸 @TerryMoran]

Asked for actual evidence of his claims, Trump throws a tantrum and runs away.

Notice—he never offered a shred or scintilla of evidence.

He just yelled at her and ran away.

Lab meat should be labeled and regulated for safety. But it shouldn't be banned.

Texas' ban on lab meat is a stupid, pointless restriction on consumer freedom and Talarico was right to vote against it.

Jeff Leach postures himself as an advocate for victims for personal gain as a lawyer and politician. He praises @prestonwood pastor @jackngraham as like a “second father.” Jack believes that SBC abuse victims are lying and perpetuating a hoax. @leachfortexas

My god. Sickeningly unethical.

Email directive from Bari Weiss to 60 Minutes executive producer Tanya Simon:

“Can we make the protesters look more violent? […]

The other thing was, Renee Good’s car. You need to describe her as driving toward the officer.”
