Canada vs. America

Put them all on that spaceship and send them off.

If you watch closely, you'll see they're doing this opposite an actual funeral procession.

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

President Macron:
“We were very naive to leave our public space to social media networks controlled by US or Chinese companies that don’t share our interests and not interested in survival of our democracies.”

I have been very critical of @schumer.senate.gov, but credit where credit is due. Hopeful evidence that pushing our leaders to follow the will of the people can work in certain instances.

A screenshot of an X post by Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkow ..., 11h ago) stating: "This is pretty unbelievable. Qatar giving Trump that jet is really paying off for them in a big way." The post includes a quoted X post by Barak Ravid (@BarakRavid ) with an auto-translated Grok Show original message: "As part of the initiative to end the war in Gaza and as compensation to Qatar for the Israeli attack in Doha, President Trump signed on Monday a presidential order that dramatically upgrades the U.S. commitment to Qatar's security. This is an unprecedented security agreement between the U.S. and an Arab country. According to the presidential order, published today, 'The United States will regard any armed attack on the territory, sovereignty, or vital infrastructure of the State of Qatar as a threat to the peace and security of the United States.' The order further states: 'In the event of such an attack, the United States will take all appropriate and lawful measures – including diplomatic, economic, and if necessary, military measures – in order to defend the interests of the United States and the State of Qatar and to restore peace and stability.'"

So Qatar gets NATO Article 5 level protection, but Ukraine does not? This is raw corruption in action.

That speech was simply appalling. Glad veterans in Congress are speaking out.

Despite challenges, Ukraine has every chance to prevail, writes historian Yuval Noah Harari in the Financial Times.

Jane Goodall avec un petit chimpanzé

RIP Jane Goodall.
Tu as été une brillante scientifique, qui a pu montrer que les sciences c'était aussi pour les femmes!

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is a bailout, no matter what he calls it.

'We as a nation are not going to tolerate people who are trying to stop fascism' is definitely something

Which means that unless the courts accept some kind of wild (and I can't imagine precedented) tolling argument, Halligan, Pam Bondi, and Donald Trump won't be able to fix this even if they had a single working brain among the three of them. SAD!

More pointedly, the pope said, "Someone who says, I'm against abortion, but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says, I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

Hegseth to Geneva Conventions: drop dead

Young’s opinion, which rules that the Trump admin illegally targeted pro-Palestinian students for deportation, is absolutely scathing.

“In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police…ICE brings indelible obloquy to this administration and everyone who works in it.”

There it is. Trump just confirmed he'll be cutting benefits for hardworking Americans after he shuts down the government.

The ruling itself is remarkable, but it closes with something I've never seen: a 12-page assessment of Trump himself as an ignorant bully, braggart and threat to free speech and the republic writ-large. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

180. The Roberts Court Turns 20 The Supreme Court is much less popular and much more divisive today than it was when John Roberts was sworn in as the 17th Chief Justice on September 29, 2005. And at least much of that is his fault.

“Is it that the Chief Justice doesn’t accept that the Court is losing credibility on a daily basis; that he thinks the Court doesn’t need that credibility in order to fulfill its intended role in our constitutional system; or that he doesn’t care?”

Me on John Roberts as his Court turns 20 today:

Putin has signed a decree on the autumn draft, running from October 1 to December 31.

During this period, the Russian authorities plan to call up 135,000 people for compulsory military service.

Russia promises not to send them to the frontlines.
