Two side-by-side photos showing former President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy seated and conversing inside St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican. They are sitting closely together on red and gold chairs, facing each other with heads bowed slightly as they talk. The grand marble floor beneath them features intricate geometric patterns with yellow, black, white, and burgundy inlays. Towering marble columns and richly detailed religious artwork, including a large framed painting of a biblical scene, form the backdrop. The atmosphere is solemn and intimate within the vast, ornate basilica.

What a moment at St. Peter’s Basilica.

Anti-Israel commentator tapped as a deputy director of national intelligence Daniel Davis, a senior fellow at the Koch-backed Defense Priorities think tank, said that U.S. support for Israel’s war in Gaza was a strategic and moral mistake

Anti-Israel commentator tapped to be deputy director of DNI. Feel free to share with people who voted for Trump because they thought he was better for Israel. They should know what they voted for.

To President Zelensky, From an Embarrassed American Dear President Zelensky,

Dear President Zelensky,

As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here.

I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧡

Kings College London is accused of 'defending hatred' An investigation by King's College London found that the lecturer who told students to read materials produced by the Hamas media office had committed 'no wrongdoing'.

🚨Genuinely shocked by this story. @KingsCollegeLon dismissed a complaint against a professor who distributed Hamas propaganda in her seminar. They then pressured a Jewish student multiple times to delete his audio recording of the class. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
