🚨HOLY SHIT: Trump STOPS delivering Lindsey Graham’s eulogy because he doesn’t like its only about Graham.
"Virtually everyone liked Lindsey. Well, not everybody. But it sounds good. I have to be honest. I have to veer from this for a second." Yikes.
A sitting member of Congress brutally beat his wife. He threw boiling water at her. He burned her.
In front of their young daughter.
The House of Representatives needs to immediately expel Rep @MaxMillerOH (R-OH).
No man who throws boiling water on his wife in front of their daughter is fit for office.

This is what a khaen sounds like 🎶
It’s a traditional Lao/Isan free-reed mouth organ made of bamboo pipes, usually heard in folk ensembles, but Jerem.khaen takes it to the streets and makes it hit completely differently.
BREAKING: RED-HANDED! Bari Weiss's CBS News is forced to retract a BLATANT lie about Mayor Zohran Mamdani after they were caught spreading a stunningly offensive story about him.
These MAGA hacks are absolutely shameless...
CBS News — which has completely destroyed its credibility since Weiss was installed as editor-in-chief by Trump ally David Ellison — ran a story covering a petition demanding that Mamdani stay away from the 25th remembrance ceremony for the 9/11 attacks.
The petition was started by Giovanni Galante, who lost his husband on 9/11, and is a transparently Islamophobic attempt to smear the mayor simply because he's a Muslim. Mamdani has never said anything disrespectful about the victims, but he has brown skin and prays in a mosque, so he's an easy target for bigots.
The petition had accumulated 24,000 signatures as of Tuesday morning because there are a lot of racists on the internet, but CBS News falsely reported that "thousands of 9/11 victims' families are asking New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani not to attend this year's solemn remembrance ceremony."
In reality, thousands of 9/11 victims' families are doing no such thing. The CBS News report was based on a story by the Rupert Murdoch-owned New York Post, which also cited "thousands of families" on its magazine cover. But the Post story itself revealed the lie because in it, the writers stated that "at least 300 victims’ families" have signed the petition. In fact, the Post quoted just three such family members.
And even that number is inflated.
Journalist Judd Legum dug deeper into the story by reaching out to Galante, who admitted that there is no actual list of families who have signed the petition.
“We don’t have a list,” Galante bluntly said. Instead, the 300 figure was conjured out of thin air based on vibes, assumptions, and wishful thinking.
“We all know each other, so…think about it. If you know 10 people and they give it to 10 more people they know that lost. That’s how we got the 300 number. I don’t go through the list and look at the names," Galante said, deploying the tried and true just-trust-me-bro method.
“[https://t.co/a1BeefD28x] doesn’t give you much information as far as who they are, where they came from," he said.
During his conversation with Legum, Galante unleashed an avalanche of hateful lies about Mamdani, claiming that he "has thoughts to get rid of all Jewish people, and to agree with 9/11" and “believes 9/11 should have happened to us.” Not surprisingly, Galante is a Republican who has donated to Donald Trump.
In reality, Mamdani called the suggestion that America deserved the attacks "objectionable and reprehensible.”
Legum reached out to CBS News about their lie and the outlet retracted the line about thousands of families. The revised article states that the petition has "purportedly drawn thousands of signatures, including some victims' families.’"
Before Weiss took over, it would have been unthinkable for CBS News to so unquestioningly report a fake number based on nothing but reporting from The New York Post. The network should have reached out to Galante to investigate the figure but they were so eager to run a piece attacking Mamdani that they just credulously, breathlessly published a lie.
Thankfully, Mayor Mamdani is not bowing to this disgraceful smear campaign. When he was asked about the petition, he said that he will still be attending the ceremony.
“I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first responders, forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing alongside them at this year’s 9/11 commemoration, reaffirming that we will never forget the solemn day felt by all of us who call this city home and, frankly, by all of us who call this country home,” Mamdani stated.

Macy’s had an agreement to buy the corner plot, but an agent acting on behalf of a rival department store scored the plot instead. The store was built around the plot, and in 1903 the rival department store put up the five-story building there today.
Classic NYC shade.
Alain Delon 🇫🇷 (1935-2024) en una entrevista que concedió a la revista francesa Paris Match en 2018, expresó un profundo desencanto con la sociedad contemporánea y la época actual:
"Voy a dejar este mundo sin sentirme triste. La vida ya no me atrae. He visto y experimentado todo. Odio la era actual, estoy harto de ella. Veo todo el tiempo criaturas realmente detestables. Todo es falso, todo es reemplazado. Todos se ríen del otro sin mirarse a sí mismos. Ni siquiera hay respeto por la palabra dada. Sólo el dinero es importante. Escuchamos sobre crímenes todo el día. Sé que dejaré este mundo sin sentirme triste por ello."
Trump Appears Completely Passed Out at Lindsey Graham’s Funeral
The president kept his eyes shut for an extended stretch as the service continued around him.
This did not look like a quick blink or moment of reflection, he appeared fully asleep.
Argentine player Valentín Barco opened up about the fight with England midfielder Jude Bellingham after Argentina’s World Cup semi-final victory over England.
Barco claimed the incident began with what he insisted was nothing more than a joke.
“I jokingly called him a black monkey. It was a clear joke that was supposed to be funny, But he took the bait and slapped me. He took it as racism, but I was clearly joking about it. I was just winding him up after we won. That’s football. People get heated.”

This is huge: Gov. Andy Beshear is demanding in a new letter that Mitch McConnell “directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign.” If McConnell cannot serve, he has no business in the Senate.
SPECTACULAR job by @isaiahrmartin, clapping back hard on that MAGA fool for trying to say "what Black voters" care about, because we sure as HELL didn't approve the gutting of the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act.
Yeah, excuse YOU, bitch.
Hunter Biden: “What’s the one thing in the past 250 years that stands out a little bit? Maybe it’s the guy that paved over the Rose Garden and put a fucking Nazi eagle on the front of the fucking White House. Maybe it’s the guy who just took a fucking jet from the Qataris, the largest gift ever given to a president by a factor of a thousand which is completely illegal”
What the FUCK.

These people are all sick lunatics.
Because of its graphic depictions of violence, police brutality, and racial injustice, the "Prison Version" of "They Don't Care About Us" received limited television airplay, while the version filmed in Brazil became the definitive release seen by most audiences. It was the first time Michael Jackson released two official music videos for the same song, with both directed by Spike Lee.
