Take 82 seconds out of your day to watch this and pass it on, because it'll blow your mind: Memos show John Roberts tried to warn us about...John Roberts.

In 2024, Neil Gorsuch gave Donald Trump near-total immunity from all laws, and then defended that when hawking a book.

19 months later, Gorsuch is casting himself as a brave defender of limits on Trump’s power.

The spectacle reminds us that the Supreme Court is not some apolitical institution run by high-minded empiricists - it is just as venal an institution as every other branch of government, and its justices are politicians, just like everyone else in power.

An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise, and its sailors paraded on land before the president.

The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo.

Breaking with all norms of civilization and warfare, we then refused to rescue the drowning survivors. The Sri Lanka Navy was left to pull the dead bodies from the water.

I am hard pressed to think of any other nation throughout history that would do something so cowardly and despicable. We are genuinely in a league of our own, and American media — mostly shrugging off the bombing of a girls school and acting as if carpet bombing Tehran is a normal military tactic — is deeply complicit.

@davidsirota Yeah, I think the dollar is in trouble and that is part of the reason our country has been lashing out at the world lately.

BREAKING: 🚨 🇺🇲 🇮🇱 A photo has emerged of Erika Kirk with Benjamin Netanyahu's son, Yair Netyanahu, in 2019 in Israel.

Now she’s talking Hebrew on daytime TV, attacking Candace Owens and defending TPUSA who have been caught lying.

She’s in on it. She was Charlie’s handler.
