We're back from our honeymoon, and I'm sorting the photos to show to family and friends. Here's a sample.

So Putin gets a red carpet welcome, a ride in the presidential limo, speaks first at the presser, frames the meeting as a successful talk among equals, while making absolutely no concession on the conduct or outcome of the war.

FOX REPORTER: β€œThe way it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say, got his photo next to the president, then left.”

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like β€œmy stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

Fox hosts, parroting DHS, claimed Sen. Padilla "ran at,” "lunged at," and tried to β€œbum-rush” Kristi Noem. Video disproves their claims, showing Padilla standing calmly across the room asking his question as security grabs him.

It’s especially galling that AG Pam Bondi personally wrote the memo approving the gift of the Qatari airplane. Her last job was as a lobbyist for Qatar! efile.fara.gov/docs/6415-Ex...

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.

β€œOnly very sick kids should die from measles.”

No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.

Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

Trump is lying. India and Pakistan both say the United States wasn’t involved in negotiating the ceasefire.
