"It wasn't Hitler or Himmler who kidnapped me, beat me, & shot my family.

It was the shoemaker, the milkman, and the neighbour who were given uniforms & then believed they were the master race."

So basically Trump’s argument is that he only bothered talking about how much he supposedly wanted peace and performed substance-free publicity stunts to win a prize, but since that didn’t fool anyone he’s not going to bother with that charade anymore and will just invade Europe.

The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that the president “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues.

Machado handed her Nobel medal to tRump.
Okay, fine (she's not stupid and she knew what she was doing).

The fact that he accepted this "gift" (unauthorised - not actually allowed) tells you everything you need to know about tRump.

Embarrassing and disgraceful.

This how HMRC deals with rich tax evaders, if it bothers to at all.

Nadhim Zahawi agreed to pay the £3,700,000 tax bill he lied about and hid from HMRC.

He should have been sent to jail for fraud.

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

Europe had €210 billion in frozen Russian money and chose not to use it.

EU leaders agreed to borrow €90 billion from their own budgets instead — Putin's assets stay untouched.

"History will remember how Belgium decided Russia's blood-stained money was more important than Ukraine's security,"

Kimbal Musk has publicly admitted that he and his brother Elon were in the country illegally for years before applying for citizenship—so unless they admitted this on their immigration forms, they must be deported immediately.

Every journalist should be buzzing about this.

The only principled stance is to punish Russia into retreat: militarily, economically, diplomatically. Let the future imperialists see what becomes of invaders.
