The resemblance is way too damn close. 😂

APPLEBAUM: Ukrainians have been continually pressured by Trump administration to give up territory to Russia. They keep asking, “What will we get in return? How do we know the war will end?” The answer is: they don’t know. No one has given them anything. Territory they’re being asked to give up is heavily fortified. These are fortress towns that Ukrainians have been defending and fighting over for years, places where Ukrainians actually live. So you’re not just giving up territory, you’re giving up a protective zone. If you gave it up, you would then enable Russians to move further.

Could MattGPT face scrutiny under the UK’s ‘proceeds of crime’ law? The British right is awash with money from Orban thinktanks…which Hungary’s new PM says was stolen. Brilliant deep dive into Orban’s vast UK network by @McCoolingtons for @thenerve_news. 👏

BREAKING: Trump's nemesis Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney scores a massive election victory and secures a majority government — proving that the world is starving for sane leadership. This is going to drive Trump up the wall... “Mark Carney entered the political arena about 15 months ago, but he is proving himself to be an astute politician,” said Daniel Béland, a political-science professor at McGill University. “He remains popular nearly a year after leading his party to victory in late April 2025 and, with the help of a series of floor-crossings, he is now at the helm of a majority government that provides more stability and greater capacity to move forward with his economic and policy agenda.” The candidates running from Carney's Liberal Party won big during a round of special election last night, winning two parliamentary districts with a third projected win in sight. Thanks to these results, Carney will be able to remain in power until at least 2029, outlasting Trump's presidency. Carney was able to get elected over his conservative opponent originally in part because of backlash against the Trump presidency. Canadians were infuriated about the calls to make their country the "51st state" and voted accordingly. Since becoming prime minister, Carney has boldly held the line against Trump. He has condemned his illegal Iran War as a "failure of the international order" and urged immediate deescalation, strong words from the leader of America's closest ally. In January, Carney made waves around the world — and ruffled MAGA feathers — by declaring at the World Economic Forum that American global dominance is ending because "this bargain no longer works." He outlined how the destabilizing effects of the Trump presidency are rewriting the global power structure. Canada will now look to other nations to build their prosperity, relying less on the United States which is always just one bad election away from another Trump. Clearly, Carney's vision of the future has struck a chord with Canadians. While he's leading them towards prosperity and a new era within the global community, Trump is dragging our country into a new dark age. Please ❤️ and share to congratulate Mark Carney!

I’m tired of staying quiet, make some noise! We need to vote out Trump or impeach him. He’s a threat to Canada, our sovereignty and our economy, a danger to Americans and a menace to the world. Comment yes if you want him and his administration gone! Retweet, take a stand! 📣

Danielle Martin on Mark Carney: "I heard it loud and clear, support for this Prime Minister was overwhelming ... he is the person for this moment and I feel that very strongly. I feel very proud to be joining his team."

ICE pepper sprayed and body-slammed 80-year-old Santa Barbara attorney Doug Hayes for confronting masked federal thugs in public. An old man spoke up. They answered with chemical spray and brute force. We asked PAXIS.app for its thoughts: Strip away the badge and acronym and what’s left is simple: cowards hurting an elderly man because they could. That is not law enforcement. That is state-sponsored bullying by armed men too weak to show their faces. FIGHT TRUMP, FIGHT ICE, FIGHT FASCISM: gofundme.com/f/PAXIS

Not only has he read it, he lives it!

“Russian propaganda is no longer focused on how to win, but on how not to lose .... which is impossible.. Russia’s defeat is already a settled matter, and they know it very well themselves... Everyone is waiting for the tower of the Kremlin... to admit that It's a dead end." - Kyrylo Budanov 🇺🇦 Wow🫡

🚨Trump just attacked Giorgia Meloni. His closest European ally. The far-right leader he held up as a model for years. Her offense: defending the Pope. His response: she’s unacceptable and doesn’t care if Iran nukes Italy. Meloni rebuked him over the Pope this morning. Italy suspended its defense agreement with Israel by the afternoon. And by evening Trump is calling her unacceptable.

Absolute respect for them both. We are very fortunate to have these two leaders when the world order is so challenged.

Speaker Mike Johnson on Trump post depicting himself as Jesus: “I talked to the president and told him I don’t think it was being received in the same way he intended it, and he agreed… I don’t think he thought it was sacrilegious at all.”

After being plundered by Orban for decades, Hungary may not have money or weapons to send to Ukraine, but incoming Prime Minister Peter Magyar is the rising hero of Europe who will undoubtedly do everything in his power to help Ukraine defeat the Russian fascists.

@Eman5695 Beautiful story! Dogs are so special! Here are my two. The black one Digby will be 12 this year, so…. Remy is only 5!

After 12 years, the dog no one chose crossed the rainbow bridge… She came into my life 12 years ago in a very unexpected way. A waitress I barely knew was being evicted and needed someone to take her six months old puppy. No one else helped. I said yes, thinking it would only be for a month. At first, I wasn’t very attached. I left all her things downstairs. She was so scared that she hid behind my dryer for three days. But when I finally picked her up and took her upstairs, everything changed. She relaxed in my arms and curled into my lap, like she had been waiting all her life to be loved. Like she just wanted someone to choose her. Over the next 12 years, she stayed with me as my life changed. We slept next to each other every night. Then my life grew. First, a wife. Then one son. Then another. Soon, she wasn’t just my dog, she was part of our family. We all loved her so much. My kids were always gentle with her. She had a backyard to run and play, to lie in the sun, and enjoy peaceful days. I truly believed we had at least one more summer together. Then one morning, everything changed. She got very sick with pancreatitis. We rushed her to the vet and tried everything. But deep down, I knew. Still, she kept fighting. We brought her home, and for one full day, she was herself again. She sat outside, quietly watching my kids play in the driveway. She looked calm and at peace. It was her “last good day.” The next morning, she wouldn’t eat or drink. And slowly… she began to fade. We took her back to the vet. This time, she didn’t come home. It’s been a month now. I still find myself looking for her. I still look at her spot, expecting her to be there. At night, I look at her photos. I don’t cry as much now, but it still hurts. I don’t know what happens after this life. But I hope she’s somewhere waiting. Somewhere she’s young again. Running toward me. Jumping on the bed before me like she always did. Maybe this time… we get forever. Warm days, quiet nights, and endless summers. Thank you for letting me share her story. She was here. She was loved. She had a family who truly cared for her. Rest peacefully, Luna.

ROSENBERG: Orban's loss is very bad news for Putin. Let me use the kind of language Donald Trump uses about cards. For years Orbán had been a super-strong card in Putin’s hand. A sort of trump card. He was pro-Russia, pro-Putin leader of EU country and NATO member state, who opposed further sanctions against Russia, further assistance for Ukraine, and the idea of Ukraine becoming member of EU. This is why he was so useful to Kremlin, which saw him as destabilizing force within the European Union. And now he's gone.

Hahaha! "Hungary has never really mattered to us," "We should forget about Europe," "We’ve always been at war with Hungary," "Hungarians are Ukrainians!" - Russian propagandist Solovyev rolled out a new propaganda script.

… AND NO MORE WINDMILLS! I love how he hates wind energy because he’s too stupid to understand it.

Hodges: Momentum has shifted in Ukraine’s favor in a way that may be permanent. You no longer hear that Russian victory is inevitable. You hear about Russian casualties and refineries on fire. If Ukraine keeps taking 50k Russians off the table each month, that's hard to sustain.
