This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive.
A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging, insurrectionist, running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.
Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth."

🚨NEW: The Kennedy Family, led by Former Rep. Joe Kennedy (D-MA), is suing to block Trump’s triumphal arch, claiming it would cast a shadow over JFK’s grave.
RETWEET if you stand with @JoeKennedy against Donald Trump!

When you compare the mostly petty corruption of the first Trump term with the outrageousness of the second, the fact that Trump is 80 years old and term-limited feels like a central fact. | @baseballcrank

The real question is what the senators, whether Republican or Democrat, will do with the mandate that voters confide in them.

- Sanna Marin:
Former PM of Finland
"I believe it is necessary to ensure that Russia pays an extraordinarily high economic price for this war.
Frozen Russian assets must be used in Ukraine. I would have used them during the war so that Ukraine could defend itself, and afterwards for recovery and building a better future. That money should be the source.
If we send any signal that they [the Russians] might get away with what they started, it will lead to further aggression..."
..........
I agree with her...absolutely

Americans, get rid of this fake president..!
He only makes huge amounts of money for himself and his clan by criminal insider trading.
He does not care one bit for the people.

Of course, I am referring to the fact that Elon Musk—and, incidentally, Donald Trump—have had their business interests damaged or curtailed. After all, they are associates of Putin, with stakes in numerous business ventures, including some involving Russia.

Zniszczenie rosyjskich centrów informatycznych jest też dewastującą stratą dla Elona Muska, gdy tysiące trolli rosyjskich i jego najbardziej oddanych obrońców online nagle znika z X-a w tym samym czasie.
Dziwi kogoś troska Donalda Trumpa i Elona Muska?

"If only we could guarantee Americans healthcare from cradle to grave, the security of knowing whatever happens in your life you can see a doctor without a bill that'll put you into medical debt - $225 billion in the US" @AbdulElSayed
We too easily forget we have this all over Europe, where literally no one goes into massive debt for health care. Even if our systems are far from perfect (I speak as someone who lives in a "désert médical" so I get it) - but knowing that if something major happens, our state systems have our back is something Americans can only dream of

🇺🇸 Abdul El-Sayed on the belief that Democrats are now tasked with fixing a broken America:
"The question of whether or not cabinet members are doing their job well is a secondary question to how do we address the crisis in folks' lives.
Right now, people are really struggling to be able to afford a tank of gas.
They're really struggling at the grocery store.
They're struggling to see a doctor.
A lot of that goes back to policies that have been perpetrated by folks like Pete Hegseth or RFK Jr.
But if everything we're doing does not actually address the problem in people's lives, I think we're missing the mandate.
So it's really important for us as we investigate to make sure that every investigation that we pursue actually ties back to the goal of making somebody's life a little bit easier."
