An actual king understands democracy better than Trump.

“The Death Star is under attack. Where is Vader?” “He’s in the ballroom, sir.”

Trump canceled most federal cancer research funding,... ... and now demands taxpayers pay for his $400 million ballroom at the White House.

even Kim Jong Un has refrained from putting himself on North Korea's passport

BREAKING: New reporting reveals the Trump Administration is moving to accelerate deportations of young unaccompanied children in custody, making it even more difficult for attorneys to obtain relief and due process for immigrant kids.

@RpsAgainstTrump @Mona_Westen LOL 😂… Germany co-negotiated and co-signed the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran to *prevent* them getting the bomb. Trump ripped it up—and is now counting on MAGA ignorance.

Trump is now attacking Germany. Notice how he keeps going after U.S. allies for not supporting a war he started without even consulting them, but never criticizes Russia for helping Iran target U.S. troops.

After 37 nerve-wracking days, a humpback whale that lost its way and got stuck in the shallow Baltic Sea off Germany is finally on its way back toward the North Sea—thanks to the persistence and ingenuity of private rescuers. Not crying at all. 🐳

Here are the two main ways this Atlantic story happened: 1. JD Vance or his staff leaked the story to Atlantic reporters, or 2. An Atlantic reporter was accidentally invited to a JD Vance Signal chat.

⚡ BREAKING: Ukraine says grain stolen by Russia has been shipped not only to Israel, but also to Turkey, Egypt, and Algeria. The Foreign Ministry says several vessels are currently transporting looted Ukrainian grain.

20,000 teddy bears on the National Mall representing the 20,000 Ukrainian children taken from their families by Putin’s brutal invasion. We must stand with Ukraine. We are here. 🇺🇸 🇺🇦

@RickPetree “Close enough.” White House staff, probably

LMAO.

The European Union has warned Israel that it is ready to impose sanctions on those aiding and abetting the trade of Ukrainian grain stolen by Russia in the occupied territories, after a new ship loaded with the cereal arrived in the port of Haifa. l.euronews.com/safl

The German Armed Forces to seek alternatives to Palantir. The German military will not award contracts to U.S. data analytics and defense software company Palantir for ‌now, according to comments in the Handelsblatt newspaper by the officer in charge of cyber defense. Thomas Daum said the German Armed Forces did not want to share their data with Palantir.

"detained" the word is kidnapped. that little baby girl was kidnapped.

In any normal country, purchasing stolen goods is an act that entails legal liability. This applies, in particular, to grain stolen by Russia. Another vessel carrying such grain has arrived at a port in Israel and is preparing to unload. This is not – and cannot be – legitimate business. The Israeli authorities cannot be unaware of which ships are arriving at the country’s ports and what cargo they are carrying. Russia is systematically seizing grain on temporarily occupied Ukrainian land and organizing its export through individuals linked to the occupiers. Such schemes violate the laws of the State of Israel itself. Ukraine has taken all necessary steps through diplomatic channels to prevent such incidents. However, we see that yet another such vessel has not been stopped. I have instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to inform all partners of our state about the situation. Based on information from our intelligence services, Ukraine is preparing a relevant sanctions package that will cover both those directly transporting this grain and the individuals and legal entities attempting to profit from this criminal scheme. We will also coordinate with European partners to ensure that the relevant individuals are included in European sanctions regimes. Ukraine counts on partnership and mutual respect with every state. We are genuinely working to enhance security, particularly in the Middle East region. We expect that the Israeli authorities will respect Ukraine and refrain from actions that undermine our bilateral relations.

I feel like everyone should know about Goldcrests. They weigh just about 1/100th of a pound and look really grumpy all the time.

Wild story by the great Canadian Broadcasting Company: A network of about 20 YouTube channels pushing Alberta separatism was actually run by a small group in the Netherlands. They used hired actors and “faceless” videos to make it look real. And these weren’t small and meaningless channels, they got millions of views in total. So what seemed like an organic grassroots movement was in reality cheap, mass-produced content farm to earn money, and push a political agenda on the side. It's worth noting that both the US and Russia have been active in the Alberta separatist movement, and the key figures of the organization even met with Trump officials recently.

You are looking at one of the most detailed 3D reconstructions of a humancell (eukaryotic cell) ever made. Every molecule. Every structure. Mapped in extreme precision. This isn't just a pretty picture. It's a microscopic universe finally brought into focus.
