What do Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford have in common? 50 years later they’re still leading the rebellion while the people that are supposed to be helping us act like they are here to put on a show.

David Letterman closes his final appearance on The Late Show: "I have something to say to CBS. In the words of the great Edward Murrow, 'Good night and good luck, motherf*ckers!'"

Epstein survivor Courtney Wild was 14 years old when she was first abused by Jeffrey Epstein, and it lasted until she was 17. In a shaky, tearful voice, she gave her testimony at the House Oversight field hearing in Palm Beach. What happened to her was terrible, but she explained that what our own government did afterward changed her life just as much. She came to ask for one simple thing: to make sure this never happens again. The government secretly made a non-prosecution agreement with Epstein behind closed doors and never told her or any of the victims. Instead, they sent letters telling her to be patient even though the case was already over. With lawyer Brad Edwards, she fought under the Crime Victims Rights Act for over a decade all the way to the 11th Circuit. The emails showed the government was trying to make Epstein happy instead of protecting the 40 victims who were children when they were abused.

APPLEBAUM: Russia's war in Ukraine is sometimes described, including recently by American Vice President, as if it were nothing more than territorial dispute, kind of scuffle over lines on map. But when Russia denies that Ukraine is a real nation, builds concentration camps on Ukrainian territory, bans Ukrainian language and systematically arrests mayors, teachers, journalists, and priests, then Russia is also attacking Europe that was built after 1945, Europe whose borders are not supposed to be changed by force. Russia invaded Ukraine not only to destroy Ukraine but also to prove that treaties are meaningless, alliances are weak, and brute force still decides fate of nations. By waging imperial war of conquest, Russia seeks to undermine Europe's post-imperial order.

BREAKING: Former FBI Director James Comey just TORCHED Kash Patel for his disrespectful Pearl Harbor snorkel vacation — and gave him a lesson on how to behave on the job. Today, the Associated Press revealed that FBI Director Kash Patel happily snorkeled over the graves of 900 American sailors. That's not a metaphor. Patel (alias “J. Edgar Boozer”) — a man who has spent the past year jetting around the world on a government Gulfstream, partying in Olympic locker rooms, and handing out branded bourbon bottles — quietly arranged a "VIP snorkel" around the sunken USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor, where the remains of more than 900 sailors and Marines still rest on the ocean floor. The excursion was coordinated by military officials, kept out of FBI press releases, and revealed only through government emails obtained by the Associated Press. Patel had already visited Hawaii once on that trip. He came back for two more days — and nobody at the FBI will say what else he did there. The government jet then flew on to Las Vegas, Patel's adopted hometown. When CNN's Kasie Hunt asked former FBI Director James Comey whether he would have done any of this, the response was quietly devastating. "I visited the Pearl Harbor Memorial with the admiral in charge of the Pacific Command on a Navy boat," Comey said. "Never got in the water." Comey then explained what Patel apparently never learned: "When you're FBI director, you have a responsibility to represent not just yourself, but 38,000 people and an idea, an American idea that's respected around the world. You're always on duty, you're always being watched." On Patel's drinking? "You can't be [intoxicated] because you're always on. You don't get vacation because you're considered on the job 24-7 all the time. You can be asked to approve a FISA, to be involved in an operational decision." Marine veteran Hack Albertson, who dives the Arizona annually to monitor the wreck's condition, didn't mince words about Patel's snorkel tour: "It's like having a bachelor party at a church. It's hallowed ground. It needs to be treated with the solemnity it deserves." Meanwhile, family members of Pearl Harbor survivors — who have never been permitted to snorkel at the site themselves — learned their loved ones' tomb was used for a VIP recreational outing by a man who also gave New Zealand officials illegal 3D-printed guns and chugged beer on camera at the Olympics. How far the FBI has fallen under Patel and the Trump administration! We’re lucky to have James Comey’s institutional memory to remind us how things are supposed to work.

🇺🇸 Trump YESTERDAY: "Xi Jinping is a horrible leader. He’s sending weapons to Iran. I’m placing permanent sanctions on China." 🇺🇸 Trump TODAY: "You are a great leader. I tell everybody that. Some people don’t like me saying it, but I say it because it’s true. I only tell the truth."🤣 He went from "horrible leader" to bootlicking China. He’s a pure businessman. His tone shifts when he sees business.😂

Amnesty war einst eine anerkannte und wichtige Organisation, die sich der Einhaltung von Menschenrechten verschrieben hat. Jetzt ist das ein Haufen Leute, die sich in geistiger Geiselhaft einer Pro-Pali-Geschäftsführerin befinden.

Trapped by Mobs on Jerusalem Day: Far-right Jewish Rage Didn't Spare Journalists haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

trump calls the White House a “shithouse.” Calls a reporter a “bitch.” Screams at Iran: “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards.” And not a peep from the media. Do not become numb to this. None of this is acceptable. How far we have fallen as a nation.

Thirty senior American psychiatrists and mental health experts have signed a statement declaring President Donald Trump mentally unfit to serve, warning that his sole authority over U.S. nuclear weapons poses a danger to the entire world. According to the doctors, Trump’s behavior over the past year has shown “objectively observable signs of serious medical concern.” They cited: — a significant decline in cognitive functioning, — episodes of apparent drowsiness during critical public appearances, — severely impaired judgment and impulse control, — loss of self-control, — and grandiose or delusional beliefs, including claims of infallibility and imagery portraying himself as a figure with a “divine mission.” The physicians argue that Trump now represents a “clear and present danger” and called for urgent action to remove him from office. “It is our expert opinion that Donald J. Trump is mentally unfit to be president of the United States,” the statement reads. The letter invokes the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which allows the vice president and cabinet to declare a president incapable of performing the duties of office. One of the signatories, Dr. Henry David Abraham of Tufts University School of Medicine, warned about “the buildup of psychiatric symptoms in a person who has sole authority to launch nuclear weapons.” He pointed to Trump’s April 7, 2026 Truth Social post regarding Iran, in which Trump wrote: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” According to the doctors, the warning signs include: — grandiosity without restraint, — paranoia, — impulsivity, — vindictiveness, — uncontrolled rage, — and a sense of omnipotence in a man with unchecked control over nuclear weapons. Psychiatrist Bandy Lee, another signatory, said the issue now “transcends politics and concerns the survival of humanity itself.” The statement was submitted to the U.S. Congressional Record by Democratic Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed. The doctors emphasized that their declaration is “medical, not political,” and includes professionals with both conservative and liberal views. Source: The BMJ

“I think it accomplished a great deal, but it’s not over,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells 60 Minutes about the war in Iran. Netanyahu says highly enriched uranium must be removed from Iran and believes “it can be done physically.”

The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpowe…
