A Piece of Broccoli and One Other Thing

Speaking of members of Congress who engage in disgusting and unacceptable behavior

🚨 BREAKING: Thomas Massie says the DOJ deleted key Epstein Files before it could expose Israel and Mossad. This needs to go viral. We need answers.

NEGOTIATORS HIT STALEMATE OVER STRAIT OF HORMUZ

Just a reminder that Trump raped a 13-year old child. It’s on record.

Let me get this straight. A close personal friend of the president allegedly contacted a senior ICE official to have the mother of his child detained and deported during a private custody battle.  She was ultimately detained and deported.  The Department of Homeland Security denies the two events are connected. You can decide what you believe. But here is what is not in dispute. A man with direct access to the White House called a senior immigration official about his ex-girlfriend at the exact moment it would benefit him in a custody dispute. That official then called ICE’s Miami field office to make sure she was picked up before she was released from jail, emphasizing that the case mattered to someone close to the White House. This is the real face of the immigration crackdown. Not dangerous criminals. Not threats to public safety. A mother caught in a custody dispute, deported because her ex knows Trump. people.com/paolo-zampolli…

Orban’s security have tried to stop people filming his massive country estate. The police showed up when I was reporting in his village. That’s because he lives like a corrupt oligarch whilst claiming to be a man of the people.

This is what it sounds like to live next to a data center

After this administration's bullshit DEI erasure and not "trusting" a Black pilot to fly, it's a Black man who piloted Artemis II and executed a perfect re-entry and splashdown.

Guys, calm down. Yes Trump bombed Iran and destabilized the global economy and yes he threatened to genocide an entire civilization and yes he also is hosting a White House Grindr event and I don’t remember where I was going with this

I was thirty-something years old when Iranian students dragged me into a room and told me I wasn't going anywhere. Four hundred and forty-four days later, I walked out. I've spent the decades since trying to make sense of what happened — and what keeps happening — between our two countries. So don't talk to me about Iran like it's an abstraction. I lived inside that confrontation. I felt it. Which is why I'm not ready to write off this ceasefire, even though everything about it is maddening. Negotiations in Pakistan may produce nothing. The talks could collapse before they get started. I've seen American diplomacy with Iran fail more times than I can count, and usually for the same reasons — too much pride, too little patience, and Israel holding a match in the corner of the room. But here's what I know in my bones: another war won't break Iran. We just tried. It didn't work. Iran doesn't break — it absorbs, it adapts, and it waits. I watched that stubbornness up close for 444 days. What bothers me most isn't that Iran is winning this moment — it's that we handed it to them. Tehran's framework is running these negotiations. Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz. Still collecting tolls. Trump looked at their proposal and called it workable. I never thought I'd see the day, but here we are. Iran wants everything on the table — sanctions, enrichment rights, American troops out, and a deal that covers what's happening in Lebanon and Gaza too. That's a lot to swallow. And Israel, which wasn't invited to this conversation, is already making clear it has no intention of being constrained by it. That's the part that worries me the most. Because if Israel keeps bombing and Washington can't or won't stop it, none of this holds. And yet — and I say this as someone who has every reason to distrust Tehran — I don't think we go back to all-out war. Not because anyone has suddenly gotten wise, but because the math doesn't work. A second round ends the same way. Iran still controls the Strait. The global economy still flinches when Tehran flexes. What we're heading toward isn't peace. It's something smaller and more precarious — two countries silently agreeing not to destroy each other today, with no paperwork and no guarantees. I know what it's like to survive on something that fragile. For 444 days, that's all I had.

@WhiteHouse @rjcrock2003 This is the tackiest shit I’ve ever seen

“I am pleased to announce that TODAY my Administration officially filed the presentation and plans to the highly respected Commission of Fine Arts for what will be the GREATEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL Triumphal Arch, anywhere in the World. This will be a wonderful addition to the Washington D.C. area for all Americans to enjoy for many decades to come!” - President DONALD J. TRUMP

No American president has so directly and personally endorsed a foreign leader’s reelection, in real time, in such explicit terms.

Candace Owens to Trump: It seems like you can't put together a serious thought. People will not fight behind, beside, or for someone who is fundamentally disloyal. MAGA is no longer commanded by you. You belong to the Epstein class

The convicted felon in the White House is promising to pardon his own staff for their actions while in office. Why should we be surprised?

Just a reminder—as we’re all reacting to the First Lady’s statement on the Epstein files yesterday. This guy is still serving in the administration.

**SHARE THESE PICS BEFORE THEY DISAPPEAR **

Trump is publicly promoting the business of a donor, complete with its stock ticker. This comes as Palantir stock has strugged of late.

What an odd way to admit that your staff are committing crimes, and to let them know they won’t get in trouble when they commit more.

TRUMP PROMISES MASS PARDONS TO STAFF BEFORE LEAVING OFFICE

NEW: President Trump has told aides he plans sweeping pardons for staff before leaving office and said he would “pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet” of the Oval Office, the Wall Street Journal reports.
