Well past “peacetime “.

NEWLY RESURFACED VIDEO: 36-year-old interview where Barbara Walters brutally questions Trump about not seeing @DonaldJTrumpJr for months, being on the verge of bankruptcy and owning Hitler books. Must watch.

Trump’s special envoy has arrived in Greenland - the dipshit Governor of Louisiana. The clown show buffoonery continues all over the world.

Well said!

Look, the only correct take about watching Paul McCartney at 83 in 2026, on SNL no less, is that it’s a privilege to still witness him do this Has anyone shaped music quite like him?

If you logged on today just to point out that Paul McCartney doesn’t sing like he did decades ago, maybe take a moment to rethink how you’re spending your energy. The man is nearly 84, a living Beatle, and still out there bringing joy to millions. That alone is worth celebrating.

Poland, Ukraine, Taiwan, Denmark. Be loyal democratic partners of the United States. Get screwed. It is to our eternal shame.

Applebaum: Putin’s real fear is a Maidan-style street revolution — people against corruption, demanding democracy and Europe. Liberal-democratic language is explosive inside Russia. That is why he needed to crush Ukraine’s democracy movement. 1/

I wish Trump could praise leaders of our democratic allies just half as much as he fawns over autocratic leaders like Xi and Putin.

Trump clearly sold out Taiwan. When asked on Air Force One on the way back from China whether the U.S. would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion, Trump replied: “I don’t want to say. That question was asked to me today by President Xi. I said, ‘I don’t talk about it.’” Trump also said, “On Taiwan, President Xi feels very strongly about it.” It’s clear China got the green light to move ahead, especially now that the U.S. is bogged down in the Iran war. Under Trump, our allies can’t trust us, and our adversaries don’t fear us.

As a reporter, I'm so disappointed by the men of the White House press corps. They let Trump constantly bully women reporters. In sports, we stood up 4 each other. I once got into a brawl w/ a U Miami ass't coach over the sexist way he treated a female writer. Grow a pair!

Trump will never have what Obama has or had: A stable marriage and loving wife A Nobel Peace Prize An Iran nuclear agreement 8 years of positive job growth Respect around the world from other leaders Giving health insurance to millions Empathy and compassion

#BREAKING: Holder: “People need to understand…authoritarianism rose in Europe in the early part of the 20th century not because authoritarianism was strong, but because the defense of democracy was weak, and we CANNOT repeat that mistake. The risks are entirely too high.”🤔

APPLEBAUM: Ukraine has drone technology that other people want. EU now able to guarantee funding for Ukraine. Ukraine has become a player in world politics and is valuable to other countries. I think that’s really flipped the narrative. Suddenly, it looks like Ukraine has cards.

This is what America and Canada's relationship should look like.

I used to make fun of this kind of thing when reporting in North Korea.

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…

NEW -- Just 14 months ago, Trump scolded Zelenskyy for getting invaded and told him he had "no cards." Today, Ukraine hits deep into Russia, cuts defense deals with Europe, sells interceptors to Gulf States, scares Putin... Maybe he has cards after all. huffpost.com/entry/donald-t…

Rubio declares that U.S. efforts to negotiate between Russia and Ukraine "has not led to a fruitful outcome for a variety of reasons" and have now "stagnated." ​Really? Maybe they stagnated because the strategy of pressuring the victim to surrender to an aggressor, who would almost certainly murder us under occupation, was stillborn from the start. Perhaps, instead, you could try putting pressure on Russia and arming Ukraine to make this war unbearable for the ones actually choosing to wage it every day?

Great to see PM @MarkJCarney appointing Louise Arbour, a global human rights leader and distinguished former judge, to be the new Governor General of Canada. It's a public reminder that Canada still holds high the banner of human rights. nytimes.com/2026/05/05/wor…
