UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Pope Leo XIV shelved plans to visit the United States later this year.
Many in the Vatican saw the Pentagon’s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.

NEW: A stunning new report claims that the Pentagon summoned Pope Leo XIV’s top American diplomat and threatened him after the U.S.-born pontiff gave his January state-of-the-world address. Leo used the address to denounce a world ruled by “a diplomacy based on force” and “zeal for war.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-pentagon…

There is a certain 'we don't give a fuck' element to this that is just astounding. They spent weeks insisting this was going to be used for deportations and now they're gonna just hand it to Melania?

Every time I think I've seen the most ridiculous tariff thing, they totally top themselves.
It's impressive, really.

Is Victor Orban, with his corruption, authoritarian rule, and deference to tyrant Vladimir Putin, the best poster child for Western civilization?

.@VP in Hungary: "What the United States and Hungary together represent under @PM_ViktorOrban and @POTUS' leadership is the defense of Western civilization...the defense of the idea that we are founded on a certain Christian civilization and Christian values..."

Trump's war on Iran has reminded me of Putin's war on Ukraine in so many ways, not least of which is this one: a cadre of advisors being too scared to tell the President what they really think, only to be horrified when he unleashes what they should've stopped him from doing.

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

Too many Americans (especially those formerly in politics and who should know better) keep talking about NATO like it’s only about subsidising allies’ defence and not also about enabling US to forward project closer to its hegemonic rivals.
Ari Fleischer@AriFleischer
Sorry Jonah. I actually sat in the room for the first half of the movie. For 24 polite years, Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama diplomatically asked NATO members to increase defense spending. For 24 years, it was one excuse after another, all focused in Western Europe on how they wish they could spend more, but their social welfare spending priorities wouldn’t let them. In other words, you the US will spend on defense and protect us. Along comes rude Donald Trump. Finally, someone made clear that if Europe kept freeloading the US was done. It took a bill in the China shop to move Europe. Diplomacy failed. Trump prevailed. That’s reality whether you or I like it. NATO self-withered after 75 years. If Spain, England, Italy and France won’t spend what’s necessary to have a real military, it’s time for something new.

It’s… let’s say “disturbing” when the President of the United States sounds more messianic in his foreign policy threats than Iran’s mullahs.

TWO STATEMENTS BY TRUMP 7 MINUTES APART:
Trump at 9:00: "Regime change was not our goal. We don't want that"
Trump at 9:07: "Regime change is what we want. It is needed"
These statements were made 7 minutes apart in the same speech

"Since Mr Trump took charge, most of the comments from manufacturers that ISM has published along with its surveys have mentioned tariffs. Not one has been positive. Many of the unpublished ones are more forceful still." economist.com/united-states/…

There’s a lot discussion today of a particular @nytimes headline in the print edition. But this online one could become a classic.

Firing senior officers for cause is one thing. Firing them repeatedly on this scale and with no explanation is unprecedented in our nation's history.

Introducing two reciprocals which immediately cancel to make a formula look more complicated will simply never be topped in economic policy. Ever.
