Totalmente oficial: Tras la entrevista de 60 Minutes a Trump, la esposa del Gobernador de California, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, lo llama de perturbador y manda comunicado. "Mi familia y yo vimos la entrevista de 60 Minutes con Donald Trump y Norah O’Donnell anoche, y quedamos impactados. Ver a un presidente hablarle a una periodista mujer con ese nivel de desprecio —y una clara aversión a los hechos— es perturbador, aunque en este punto no es inesperado dada su pauta de comportamiento." "Pero ese es el problema. Porque cuando ese nivel de falta de respeto desde el cargo más alto del país se repite, comienza a filtrarse en nuestra cultura y a definir cómo se ve el poder, moldeando la forma en que los niños y muchos hombres ven a las mujeres y las niñas y lo que llegan a aceptar como comportamiento normal."

Bayer is a German chemical company. They make Roundup. Roundup gives people non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Bayer has paid over $11 billion in cancer lawsuits. This week, Congress is going to vote on a bill that gives Bayer permanent immunity from being sued by Americans who get cancer from their product. Here is how it happened. 🧵

@ValentinaForUSA You sound so ignorant and stupid. Wow

I’ve never heard ANYONE say they want to go to Pakistan for vacation. All love to my Christian Pakis. Jesus is King.

Hace casi ya 10 años que Rafael Uribe Noguera secuestró, abusó sexualmente y torturó hasta la muerte a la menor Yuliana Samboní, de 7 años, y la familia Uribe Noguera no ha reparado a la familia de la menor por su asesinato, como lo dictó un juez. ¡¿Por qué nadie habla de esto?!

RETWEET if you stand with Pope Leo against Donald Trump!

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us. Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

In the speech that enraged Pete Hegseth and top Pentagon officials, Pope Leo XIV said: “A diplomacy that promotes dialogue and seeks consensus among all parties is being replaced by a diplomacy based on force.” “War is back in vogue, and a zeal for war is spreading. “The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined.”

1/ YES!! A NY Times reporter just REFUSED to be bullied by Trump, and corners him into admitting war crimes. THIS is how you do it! Zolan Kanno-Youngs just gave a master class on pushing past Trump's bullying and lying, and getting him on record, admitting the TRUTH.

SAVAGE TAKEDOWN — AGED LIKE FINE WINE: One of the most brutal political takedowns in American history. Watch Jamie Raskin absolutely demolish Byron "The GOP Butler" Donalds — exposing his constitutional illiteracy and pathetic Trump bootlicking in real time. Raskin went full savage mode, and Butler Donalds couldn't even finish his shift at the table. This is your candidate for governor, Florida? The man who confuses the Constitution with a Trump rally flyer? Dems hit harder… MAGA comes with rehearsed talking points and a fragile ego. Watch the Butler get schooled on camera.

Robert Mueller died last night. He was 81 years old. He had a wife who loved him for sixty years. He had two daughters, one of whom he met for the first time in Hawaii, in 1969, on a few hours of military leave, before he got back on the plane and returned to Vietnam. He had grandchildren. He had a faith he practiced quietly, without performance. He had, in the way of men who have seen real things and survived them, a quality that is increasingly rare and increasingly mocked in the country he spent his life serving. He had integrity. And tonight the President of the United States said good! I have been sitting with that word for hours now. Good. One syllable. The thing you say when the coffee is hot or the traffic is moving. The thing a man who has never had to bury anyone, never had to sit in the specific silence of a room where someone is newly absent, reaches for when he wants the world to know he is satisfied. Good. The daughters are crying and the wife is alone in the house and good. I want to speak directly to the Americans reading this. Not the political Americans. Just the human ones. The ones who have lost a father. The ones who know what it is to be in that first hour, when you keep forgetting and then remembering again, when ordinary objects become unbearable, when the world outside the window seems obscene in its indifference. I want to ask you, simply, to hold that feeling for a moment, and then to understand that the man you elected looked at it and typed a single word. Good. This is not a country having a bad day. I need you to understand that. Countries have bad days. Elections go wrong. Leaders disappoint. Institutions bend. But there is a different thing, a rarer and more terrible thing, that happens when the moral center of a place simply gives way. Not dramatically. Not with a single catastrophic event. But quietly, in increments, until one evening a president celebrates the death of an old man whose family is still warm with grief, and enough people find it acceptable that it becomes the weather. Just the weather. That is what is happening. That is what has happened. The world knows. From Tokyo to Oslo, from London to Buenos Aires, people are not angry at America tonight. Anger would mean there was still something to fight for, some remaining faith to be betrayed. What I see, in the reactions from everywhere that is not here, is something older and sadder than anger. It is the look people get when they have waited a long time for someone they love to find their way back, and have finally understood that they are not coming. America is being grieved. Past tense, almost. The idea of it. The thing it represented to people who had nothing else to believe in, who came here with everything they owned in a single bag because they had heard, somehow, across an ocean, that this was the place where decency was written into the walls. That idea is not resting. It is not suspended. It is being buried, in real time, with 7,450 likes before dinner. And the church said nothing. Seventy million people have decided that this man, this specific man who has cheated everyone he has ever made a promise to, who has mocked the disabled and the dead and the grieving, who celebrated tonight while a family wept, is an instrument of God. The pastors who made that bargain did not just trade away their credibility. They traded away the thing that made them worth listening to in the first place. The cross they carry now is a costume. The faith they preach is a loyalty oath with scripture attached. When the history of American Christianity is written, this will be the chapter they skip at seminary. Now I want to talk about the men who stand next to him. Because this is the part that actually breaks my heart. JD Vance is not a bad man. I have to say that, because it is true, and because the truth matters even now, especially now. Marco Rubio is not a bad man. Lindsey Graham is not a bad man. They are idiots, but not bad, as in BAD! These are men with mothers who raised them and children who love them and friends who remember who they were before all of this. They are not monsters. Monsters are simple. Monsters do not cost you anything emotionally because there is nothing in them to mourn. These men are something more painful than monsters. They are men who knew better, and know better still, and will get up tomorrow and do it again. Every small compromise they made had a reason. Every moment they looked the other way had a justification that sounded, at the time, almost reasonable. And now they have arrived here, at a place where a president celebrates the death of an old man and they will find a way, on television, to say nothing that means anything, and they will go home to houses where children who carry their name are waiting, and they will say goodnight, and they will say nothing. Their oldest friends are watching. The ones who knew Rubio when he still believed in something. Who knew Graham when he said, out loud, on the record, that this exact man would destroy the Republican Party and deserve it. Who sat next to Vance and thought here is someone worth knowing. Those friends are not angry tonight. They moved through anger a long time ago. What they feel now is the quiet, irrecoverable sadness of watching someone disappear while still being present. Of watching a person they loved choose, again and again, to become less. That is what cowardice costs. Not the coward. The people who loved him. And in the comments tonight, the followers celebrate. People who ten years ago brought casseroles to grieving neighbours. Who stood in the rain at gravesides and meant the words they said. Who told their children that we do not speak ill of the dead because the dead were someone's beloved. Those people are tonight typing gleeful things about a man whose daughters are not yet done crying. And they feel clean doing it. Righteous. Because somewhere along the way the thing they were given in exchange for their decency was the feeling of belonging to something, and that feeling is very hard to give up even when you can no longer remember what you gave for it. When Trump is gone, they will still be here. Standing in the silence where the noise used to be. Without the permission the crowd gave them. Without the pastor who told them their cruelty was holy. They will be alone with what they said and what they cheered and what they chose to become, and there will be no one left to tell them it was righteous. That morning is coming. Robert Mueller flew across the Pacific on military leave to hold his newborn daughter for a few hours before returning to the war. He came home. He buried his dead with honour. He served presidents of both parties because he understood that the institution was larger than any one man. He told his grandchildren that a lie is the worst thing a person can do, that a reputation once lost cannot be recovered, and he lived that, every day, in the quiet and unglamorous way of people who actually believe what they say. He was the kind of American the world used to point to when it needed to believe the story was true. He died last night. His wife is alone in their house in Georgetown. His daughters are learning what the world is without him in it. And somewhere in the particular hush that falls over a family in the first hours of loss, the most powerful man and the biggest loser on earth sent a message to say he was glad. The world that loved what America was supposed to be is grieving tonight. Not for Robert Mueller only. For the country that produced him and then became this. For the distance between what was promised and what was delivered. For the suspicion, growing quieter and more certain with each passing month, that the America people believed in was always partly a story, and the story is over now, and there is nothing yet to replace it. That is all it needed to be. A man died. His family is broken open with grief. That is all it needed to be. Instead the President said good. And the country that once stood for something looked away 🇺🇸 Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

.@realDonaldTrump you are a vile disgusting man. Petty and pathetic, you are a hypocrite who reeks of weakness and insecurities with no moral core. Regardless of the politics, the American people should be embarrassed and ashamed for ever having entrusted you with leadership. God rest Robert Mueller.

De Niro: It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent—no one, no one voted for new wars. No one voted for higher prices at the pump. No one voted for higher prices in grocery stores. No one voted for higher prices in the housing market. No one voted for deporting our good neighbors, and no one voted for government-masked thugs shooting down our citizens in the streets.

He took the greatest military force in world history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, and demanded that the media lie about this and everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone can mistake this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength. His weakness is something negative, gravitational, so deep that it can draw in a whole country. But only if we fail to see it. Only if we let it.

My goodness, Hillary Clinton took Republicans to the woodshed in her deposition, no WONDER they didn't want these Epstein hearings to be public. WHEW!

@sbrad @El_professorX @HustleBitch_ Yup. Every hour almost

@El_professorX @HustleBitch_ I've never been to Colombia but I'm willing to bet there are flights from Medellin to Bogota all the time.

🚨 TOM HANKS’ SON TRAPPED IN COLOMBIA — “FREE ME!” Chet Hanks just jumped on camera claiming he’s stuck in Medellín after trying to fly home using his Greek passport. The rapper says his American passport is about to expire, so he traveled on his Greek one, but when he tried to return to the U.S., airline staff allegedly told him that without a green card, he can’t re-enter on a foreign passport. There’s just one problem. He’s an American citizen. Son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. And he didn’t bring his U.S. passport. Now he says the only embassy that can fix it is in Bogotá, and he doesn’t want to go. “Free me!” he tells the camera. How do you travel internationally without the one document that guarantees you get back home? Travel fail of the year… or is there more to this story?

It’s important that you understand what happened last night. Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue. In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired. CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.” In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump. But censorship always backfires. Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

@SInow 20

Thoughts??

@TheModerateCase Please tell me how can you NOT enjoy this show! Regardless of the language, which truthfully was unnecessary. The color, the dance, the music, the happiness we haven’t felt in a while. If you did not feel that then I do t think that la guage is the problem

I have absolutely nothing against Bad Bunny as an artist, I’m just confused as to how a population that overwhelmingly speaks English is supposed to enjoy a performance in a language they don’t understand. English is the language of America.

@PonsombyLord Y eso que quiere decir. Algún complejo de superioridad?? Se lo pierden!! Quieren ser Europeos y tampoco son. Que triste falta de identidad.

Bad Bunny nos recuerda que lejos estamos de ser “latinos” los uruguayos y argentinos

Thank you @sanbenito for taking the California stage and using your voice at #SuperBowl LX. A beautiful moment! Together, we are America.
