Trump: Recently I changed the name of a lake. I did it very lightly and the damn thing got changed. That's power, right? When you sort of do it halfheartedly and it gets changed. It's called the Lake of America. Now we need a river. And we need an ocean. So I was thinking of the Hudson River, then I thought of the Mississippi. I only like two oceans, the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. I'm not gonna put either Trump or America on any other ocean but these two

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. https://t.co/8AyV60gg1X

Every day we are fighting to prevent French stats from looking like this.

I know it hurts to hear, but the truth is that your father is a bumbling idiot who is helping Putin slaughter civilians in Ukraine. If I need a Miami cocaine hookup, I’ll call you! But until then, you should shut the fuck up and enjoy your corrupt crypto grift while it lasts.

My take: Putin gave up nothing by releasing a 74-year-old American held as a pawn for this type of moment. Putin is not a humanitarian, despite how Mr Witkoff addressed him. And whereas President Trump says he gave up nothing for Stephen Hubbard's release, you will hear all the experts correctly say that he did: busting his own sanctions for a diesel deal with Putin that could put $4 billion into his war chest; inviting Putin to the G20; and dumping Putin's victim, Ukraine, face down in the mud, as it tries to defend its sovereignty and its freedom. You’ve heard the historians call all this appeasement, going against America's own democratic values.

Tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, of Ukrainian children have been forced into Russia and this boot-licking spiv rolls out the tongue once more for “humanitarian” Putin. Infamy

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

YIKES -- Trump loses his shit at a reporter for the third time during this Q&A -- "Wait wait -- Quiet. Quiet!!!! What's wrong with you? Are you a SICK person?"

[Séamus Malekafzali @Seamus_Malek]

Netanyahu would like to inform the American public that a vote for the Republicans in the midterms is a vote for even more war with Iran. A popular sell!

[Simon Kuper @KuperSimon]

This is gruesome but people need to look. This is Putin's war

I am late to this post from Trump, but my goodness.

🚨 BREAKING:

Witkoff: "There's only one thing I wish for. That the Nobel Committee finally realizes that you're the greatest candidate ever since the idea of the Nobel Prize was conceived, and that you deserve to receive this award."

[Monica Marks @MonicaLMarks]

Good for these young Israelis. People booing them are part of the problem. The darkness is so vast & any chinks of light are so precious.

The shirt they’re holding reads “Rabin was right.” He was assassinated by a Jewish far-right extremist in ‘95 moments after singing this song

Vance: The president has a lot of authority because, the reality is, who's gonna stop him?

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

On October 16, 2019, I told Donald Trump, “With you, Mr. President, all roads lead to Putin.”

On October 16, 2026, Trump signed an executive order waiving new sanctions on Russia passed by bipartisan majorities in Congress and signed into law just last month.

This decision insults America’s commitment to democracy and our brave men and women in uniform, as Russia helps Iran target American forces.

I join Republican senators in condemning this unconscionable capitulation to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians.

As I have asked for years: What does Putin have on Trump that he would sell out America’s values?

I doubt that this is widely known by American voters.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

PS I’ve met Putin many times and listened in on calls with him as well. I also speak Russian. Yes he is soft spoken, deliberate, and measured. So what? He’s still a killer. He still launched a barbaric invasion of Ukraine, that has produced tragic loss of life not seen on this scale in Europe since WWII.
