Dozens of dildos filled the driveway of the ICE facility in Portland, Oregon. 🤭

Former interim President of Israel Avrum Burg admits the truth. Trump's stupidity has resulted in Iran being the winner and Israel and the US the losers. It has also boosted China beyond what most people thought was possible. The damage Trump has done to the US is immeasurable.

A teenage girl’s reunion with her family after escaping Russian occupation at the Ukrainian-Belarusian border. She did not see her mother for four years. When speaking about giving away occupied territories, think about these people. A story will follow.

I’ve been following this for weeks, and I think something fundamental shifted last week. Europe is quietly drafting a fallback plan to run NATO’s military structures without the United States. Air defense, logistics, Baltic reinforcement corridors. The full package. The Wall Street Journal has the details, but I’ve believed for months this moment was coming. Germany dropping its opposition was the turning point. When Berlin moves, Europe moves. I think that’s the single most important development in European defense this year. Rutte came back from Washington calling the alliance “more European-led.” He didn’t say much else about how the meeting went. Nobody did. Word is Trump was furious, complained throughout, and the whole thing went out the window before it started. My read: the U.S. is heading for the exit with its tail between its legs. Trump called NATO a “paper tiger” and threatened withdrawal over Europe’s refusal to back U.S.-Israeli operations against Iran. A 2023 law requires a Senate supermajority to actually pull out. But I don’t think the Europeans are waiting to find out. They’re not asking Washington anymore. They’re planning around it. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Did you hear Zelensky's Easter message, recorded from Kyiv's Saint Sofia, a church older than Moscow? He began by quoting the words of the 11th-century Oranta inscription behind him: “God is in the midst of the city; it shall not be moved.” The Oranta, a depiction of the Virgin Mary with arms extended in prayer over the city of Kyiv, is one of Ukraine's most sacred symbols. "Christ is risen," Zelensky, and the First Lady responded, "He is risen indeed." Zelensky called for a day when "winter and all evil will retreat from our land."

CNN Diplomatic Editor Nic Robertson confirms the Trump administration's total diplomatic collapse. They are now relying on Pakistan's Field Marshal Asim Munir to fly to Tehran and act as a desperate middleman to beg Iran for peace. Washington has completely lost control.

JD Vance got ditched by Erika Kirk at yesterday's poorly attended TPUSA event. I break down Vance and MAGA’s most recent failures as Trump’s regime spirals out of control. youtu.be/ZcXJLSe8XIw

Let me get this straight. Musk was paid $5 billion through the DOGE endeavor and the only thing DOGE did was dismantle the entities that were investigating him for fraud. Wow

Lots of good sense here. Notable that as so often Sen. Chris Murphy is an elected official willing to speak hard truths. publicnotice.co/p/trump-loses-…

Sup. Com. of Sweden, Claesson: Russia is not 10ft tall. It’s their favorite tool to make us believe that they are. If Russia would make a true military assessment, they know they would lose [to NATO]. That leads to a hybrid warfare to exploit vulnerabilities in our societies. 1/

Donald Trump did not post himself as a "Red Cross" worker.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Former U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton: "It is shocking that Trump said no one informed him that Iran could close the Strait of Hormuz. I find it unbelievable that one of the fundamental pillars of geopolitical strategy in the Middle East was ignored. That was the first thing we assumed Iran would do. It is their main tool of global leverage. We are now seeing the consequences of a foreign policy driven by impulse rather than strategy.

@OlgaPatl Olga, t-Rump’s family has a history of “early onset dementia “, Altsheimer”. His father had it & his brother died from it. t-Rump posts constantly & late at night & “babbles “/writes incoherently. Also, has deteriorated physically.

Please decode what he wrote, because I’m falling behind in this parallel reality, everything here is changing so fast.

Remember last year’s Oval Office meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump? Remember Trump’s disgraceful behavior and his attack on Zelenskyy? There was one moment in particular that escalated the entire conversation. Zelensky said: “You have a nice ocean and don’t feel it now, but you will feel it in the future.” That’s when Trump snapped: “Don’t tell us what we’re going to feel.” And from that point on, the meeting unraveled. At the time, many brushed it off as just another political clash. Some even criticized Zelensky. But Zelensky wasn’t being provocative. He was simply stating the truth. Zelenskyy was right. Fast forward to today. The United States is now directly entangled in a confrontation with Iran. And suddenly, the idea of a “distant war” feels very different. Because Americans are feeling it. Not through bombs falling on their cities, but through higher gas prices, economic uncertainty, and growing instability. Exactly the kind of consequences Zelensky was warning about. And here is the deeper irony. Full articles is on my Substack account: open.substack.com/pub/romanshere…

The politics in Hungary may have changed, but the politics in the US are the same. Todd Blanche is telling us we should be happy that Trump is directing DOJ to go after his political opponents. We cannot give up but we must fight for democracy every day. If we do we can win!
