I don’t think I ever believed I’d see a newspaper paragraph like this: President Trump ‘said he would welcome immigrants from Denmark but not from Norway “because ‌I didn’t get the Nobel Prize, so I don’t want anybody from Norway”.’

Josh Shapiro slams Vivek Ramaswamy: I've prosecuted dozens of people for sexual abuse. A parent abusing their own child—those cases kept me up at night. The idea that a guy running for governor would weaponize that? That the vice president of the United States, who does this phony preacher nonsense about morality, would double down on it? It speaks to how profoundly and pathetically weak JD Vance is. It speaks to the character of Vivek Ramaswamy to attack a victim like that. It's disgusting.

“There is not in Europe any such thing as a pure race. Russians have an admixture of Tartar blood, Germans are largely Slavonic, France is a mixture of Celts, Germans, and people of Mediterranean race, Italy the same with the addition of the descendants of slaves from every corner of the Empire imported by the Romans. The English are perhaps the most mixed of all. There is no evidence that there is any advantage in belonging to a pure race. The purest races now in existence are the Pygmies, the Hottentots, and the Australian aborigines; the Tasmanians, thanks to the British, who were probably even purer are now extinct. There is a special absurdity in applying racial theories to the various populations of Europe.” — Bertrand Russell, Unpopular Essays, Ch. VII: An Outline of Intellectual Rubbish

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump and his family have lost surprise elections, thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

El-Sayed: In my Neurology unit, I would have to give that MOCA exam, that cognitive test he's so proud of… The only people you give that test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you’re taking one of those tests, something is wrong.  And you know the doctor who gave it to him was like, I just want to see how smart you are, sir. And he's like, me too. He brags about having taken it. He's like I remembered the rhinoceros. You're like Habibi, everybody remember the rhinoceros. And the funny thing about it is, you know, he's taken it multiple times. So he's not even bragging about the first time he took it. He's like, I took it the 1st time and then I took it the 2nd time. So with Donald Trump, you can't blame him for this, he's just dumb. But for Mike Rogers, can you imagine how small of a human being you have to be to know that he has real deficits and to just nod your head approvingly at the most ridiculous shit that the man proposes?

There are some sinister things happening around Ukraine right now. First, Russians have started a rumor that Ukrainians have somehow "hacked" Starlink/Starshield which is why it was throttled. The goal is to make the White House or Elon to throttle the service in Ukraine again. There is no evidence that this "hacking" happened whatsoever. Second, MAGA media is heading to Olehsky as we speak with an intetion to promote Melania Trump and her "achievement" with the ceasefire, but also defame Ukraine and make it look bad somehow. Both incidents only help Russia.

There is a massive corruption scandal unfolding in the US, with top American executives abandoning a $25 billion gas project over allegations of secret Russian investment and control. ​All of this is happening just as the US administration moves to ease sanctions on Russia. ​It is exactly what it looks like: blatant corruption. An attempt to sell out Ukraine in exchange for lucrative deals out of pure greed. Meanwhile, it is Ukraine that continues to endure constant, baseless accusations supported by nothing. Madness.

Last year, Trump invited Conor McGregor to the White House… after the MMA wrestler raped a woman so brutally that her tampon had to be surgically removed. A forensic examiner testified this in court, and McGregor was found GUILTY of rape by a 12-person jury. Oh, AND a paramedic who examined her testified that she "had not seen a patient as bruised as her in a long time." SOMEHOW, THIS QUALIFIED HIM FOR A TRUMP WHITE HOUSE VISIT. Birds of a feather 🪶

Meta's "accidental" suspension of the No Kings Instagram account — at a time when the org was posting updates from ongoing marches — was not an anomaly. I found dozens of similar instances of Meta "mistakenly" targeting left-leaning activist accounts, often during crucial election windows. My latest.

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

MAGA says Ilhan Omar isn't using her real name. Melania Trump was born Melanija Knavs. Ted Cruz was born Rafael Edward Cruz. JD Vance was born James Donald Bowman. Nikki Haley was born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa. Mike Johnson's real first name is James. Rand Paul is Randal Paul. Newt Gingrich was born Newton Leroy McPherson. But suddenly MAGA wants a congressional investigation into names?

This is more evidence for Congress, which can easily determine if Ukraine violated any terms of service. It also constitutes a tacit admission by Musk that he played a part — if not the central role — in throttling Starlink.

There it is. Elon Musk admits it. “That loophole was closed last week.” In a deranged post on X, Musk openly acknowledges that SpaceX recently restricted Ukraine’s ability to use Starlink. He then declares that Ukraine’s front line would “collapse immediately” if Starlink were turned off, insists that’s “NOT a threat,” and tells his critics to “burn in hell.”
