Kash Patel says he now has a lead that Savannah Guthrie's mom is being held at either the NCAA Final Four or the Masters golf tournament, plans to personally investigate.

The amount of shit going down on this planet right now because of Donald Trump is truly unfathomable.

Greenland has zero need for this. Maybe it’s a Trojan horse full of weapons to take Greenland by surprise. I can see the demented one doing that.

US says it struck vessel in the eastern Pacific, killing three men The U.S. military in a post on X on Friday said it struck a vessel in the eastern Pacific, killing three men, in the latest such incident.

Oh and they’re still indiscriminately executing random people at sea with no evidence, warrants, trials, or verdicts. And absolutely no one is doing anything about it, I guess.

This. Today's ruling is primarily a multidimensional failure of the judicial branch, not really its robustness in the face of authoritarianism. This should never have been a SCOTUS case in the first place, & it shouldn't have taken over a year to get here.

The EU and UK wasted much of last year, and paid painfully, for tariff deals that are now worthless.

But if SCOTUS had ruled *in favour* of Trump, those deals would also be worthless. He’d treat that as license to throw them away.

Avoiding any deals in 2025 was the strategically wise move

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve?

If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days?

If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built?

It's a tax. That's all it is.

Trump has never said anything as critical about Vladimir Putin or any Russian war criminal as he did today about the majority on the US Supreme Court.

The sundowning of the American empire

Incredible how poorly the US is ruled.
In April 2025, Trump imposed obviously illegal tariffs on the whole world, alienating everybody.
He extracted $175 bn from US enterprises & people.
Only now, SCOTUS clarifies this was illegal (obvious).
US public finances = a mess.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Each day brings a new assault against Europe by the Trump regime, and this week's news that the US government is building a website that will allow Europeans to view illegal content is no exception.

The US has joined with Russia to promote far right parties & ideas and spread propaganda against EU.

We know that Trump is going to repeat the “I’ve been exonerated on Epstein” line every single day forever because that’s what he does.

Would it be totally outrageous for someone then to simply ask him who it was that exonerated him so we can get some clarification on that?

When you look at what is going on in the United States, it is much easier to now understand how regimes of Saddam Hussein and the Assads in Syria were able to survive for so long: too many people were willing to attach themselves to the figurehead in order to derive their own corrupt power.

American not only becoming a cult of personality but becoming the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the human species is a lot to process

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

the current U.S. president has a head full of mashed potatoes, operates at a third-grade reading level, and genuinely has no idea how anything works, but you'll notice that's not a consistent narrative in NYT reporting

AOC says "um" and it's an entire fucking newscycle

the intent ain't subtle

UK: Prince Andrew arrested.

South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.

Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.

USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

In a country not unstrung by John Roberts and his sick rogue scotus even members of an actual royal family remain beholden to the law

U.S. Gathers the Most Air Power in the Mideast Since the 2003 Iraq Invasion President Trump is being briefed on military options for striking Iran, even as aides hold talks with its regime.

An attack on Iran would be a flagrant violation of international law, lacks congressional authorization, lacks clear objectives and lacks any effort by the administration to justify military action to the American public.

War on the whims of one man.

It’s like if George Bush has launched the Iraq War but didn’t bother to even lie about why he was doing it, didn’t even try to claim what the goal was, and didn’t even ask Congress to authorize it.

That’s what Trump is doing now, and everyone is just acting like it’s normal.

This is not normal.

Do Americans really accept that Trump has so obviously made the US the most corrupt country in the world in terms of how much the president and his family gain?
Have republicans lost all American values?
Are republicans so committed against the rule of law?

Journalists Arrested in Cameroon While Reporting on Trump’s Secretive Deportation Program

"An Associated Press reporter was beaten by the police and detained along with three other journalists on Tuesday in Cameroon while reporting on a secretive Trump administration program to deport migrants to the Central African country, according to two of the people detained." (gift link)

Every Trump official is fundamentally a thug

I don’t think someone who was Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend for a decade should be allowed in polite society let alone the White House.

RFK Jr. made promises to get his job as health secretary. He's broken many of them In his confirmation hearings, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told U.S. senators that he would not cut funding for vaccine research or change the nation's official vaccine recommendations. He did both.

Seems to me that the United States is a nation who’s success is almost entirely based on the intelligence and talent of ONE part of the country, that’s currently being controlled by the OTHER part of the country that hates the first part.

What could possibly go wrong?

Shock Poll: Americans Miss Joe Biden’s Economy Here’s what they’re worried about.

Jonathan V Last: "In 2023, the economy added 3 million jobs. In 2024, still under Biden, it added 2.2 million jobs. In 2025, under Trump, it added just 181,000 jobs. This is a story about an economy getting throttled by one man's capricious, destructive governance."

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.
