The Gospel of Professional Christian Mike Johnson:

Trump hosted a lavish "Gatsby-esque" party at his private club in Florida, partying with his wealthy friends, while millions of Americans are losing food assistance.

Also, the world's first simple-minded fascist white supremacist troll trillionaire who hates his children. Let's not forget that.

‘Free food for starving American soldiers’ was not in my bingo card for 2025…

After US sanctions, Lukoil quickly announced a full sale to Gunvor Group, founded by a Putin ally.

They say they won't sell the assets back to Lukoil. Oh, and they need a 6 month extension on sanctions.🙄

If you believe it won't go back to Russia, I've got a bridge to sell you.

Why would Bill Gates all of a sudden say climate change isn’t bad?

Because he’s in the Epstein files.

Caligula's unorthodox style raises eyebrows among some liberal Romans.

While parents are asked to consent to these surveillance programs, the school’s handbook says that there is “no expectation of privacy” on campus. If parents want to restrict recordings of their children outside of the school, they have to manually opt out of the “anywhere” option—as Jessica Lopez learned midway through her older daughter’s second year at Alpha. The girl says she remembers sitting on her bed one night working on schoolwork when she received a notification that she’d been flagged for an anti-pattern. She says Alpha’s system sent a video of her in her pajamas, taken from the computer’s webcam, that showed her talking to her younger sister.

A school called Alpha that relies on AI to teach its students is also surveilling them at home, videotaping young girls in their bedrooms.

This is some seriously sick shit.

Trump has a 'Sputnik moment' but China is wiping the floor with America To remind the US president: China is both communist and working passably well, something he and the United States generally are being forced reluctantly to confront.

Brilliant editorial on Trump, America and idiocy.

Trump: “It won’t touch it”

It’s the Epstein Ballroom. Trump will let it touch whatever it wants.

News Outlets Won't Describe Trump's AI Video For What It Is: The President Pooping on America Major outlets said the President dumped "brown liquid" that "appeared to be feces" in an AI-generated video. They refused to call a spade a spade, or poop, poop.

“AI continues to be the aesthetic of fascism: fast, easy, ugly. When we lose the ability to say what it is, we’re losing a lot more than the chance to pun on poop.”

Trump needs new orders from his handler

True, but it is still incoherent: an isolated exceptional country and an imperial model. Never suspected that crowd of being smart, but this slides into a schizophrenic mindset.
