Beth Rigby absolutely nails Farage here for lying. Farage says he never said that. Rigby has the transcript - and plays it.

The syrian pivot: how putin’s investment became Ukraine’s strategic hub. I would pay anything to be a fly on the wall in the Kremlin when putin sees this footage. Man, if you told me two years ago that Bashar al-Assad would be hiding in a Moscow basement while the newguy in Damascus, Ahmed al-Sharaa, was out here cutting deals with President Zelenskyy, I would’ve said you’re dreaming. putin spent a decade—and a terrifying amount of Russian blood and treasure—bombing Syria into submission just to keep a "loyal" puppet in power and secure those Mediterranean military bases. And now? The new government is basically using those very same ports—the ones putin thought were his permanent "Southern Flank"—to help Ukraine move grain. It’s peak irony. The "Grand Strategist" in Moscow basically cleared the path for a government that’s now cozying up to his biggest adversary. It’s a masterclass in how quickly putin’s "influence" evaporates. Putin thought he bought Syria forever. Instead he just subsidised the infrastructure for the next administration to move on without him. Seeing al-Sharaa talk about "stability" while facilitating Ukrainian trade must feel like a slow-motion slap in the face to every "Z-patriot" back in Russia. Ahmed al-Sharaa: “This is a great success achieved for the stability of Syria. There is a historical partnership between Syria and Ukraine in the fields of food and energy. Ukraine has great experience in agricultural production and the pharmaceutical industry. Syria is also an agricultural country and needs these skills. Our main goal is to create a hub where food and basic materials from Ukraine can be re-exported through Syrian ports. Turkey contributes greatly to global and regional stability through initiatives like this forum. Turkey's role has now reached a global dimension. The Syria-Turkey partnership is the foundation for the future security of the region and the world. Syria has ceased to be a crisis and has turned into a historical opportunity for reconstruction and stability.”

Donald Trump LIED. Again. He LIED. He LIED. Trump LIED again. He always LIES. He LIES every time he opens his mouth. He LIED about the Pope. He LIES all the time. He. Only. Knows. How. To. LIE. And we all need to say that. We all need to use that word - he LIES.

ATTORNEY: “Please don’t tell me Trump cares about law and order. He doesn’t. Look at all the people he has pardoned… Galanis: $200M fraud… Schwarz: $38M… Duran: $205M…. Watson: $60M… fraudster after fraudster… Pardoned, all of them.” (From @cogdelllawuncensored)

RFK Jr: I could not answer those questions because it's not my agency HORSFORD: You don't coordinate with the EPA in rolling back protections that would increase exposure to heavy metals?! RFK Jr: Calm down, congressman HORSFORD: Do not tell me to calm down! Healthcare is real

"I ended up writing an article in 2019 in @TheAtlantic explaining that Donald Trump is mentally disordered. He's a narcissistic psychopath and a malignant narcissist, that is inconsistent with the duties of, and the obligations of, and the ability to conduct the presidency of the United States."

MAGA has a Europe problem. Not the real Europe. The one they invented. The one with sharia courts and no-go zones and zero tech companies and miserable citizens begging for permission to cross the street. That Europe doesn't exist. Here's what does: open.substack.com/pub/gandalv/p/…

At 250 feet tall, Trump's arch would be the biggest such structure in the world. Asked last fall what this modern-day arch was meant to commemorate, Trump pointed to himself and replied, “Me.” @sbg1 newyorker.com/news/letter-fr…

“A majority of Catholics voted for [Trump],” says Cardinal Blase Cupich, but he tells me, “I’m hearing, however, from a lot of people that they didn’t vote for the indiscriminate mass deportation of people that we experienced here in Chicago and throughout the United States.”

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason theatlantic.com/culture/2026/0…

🇺🇸⚖️ Trump impeachment? This time it might actually work. The U.S. president is being pushed toward removal from office over alleged war crimes A resolution has already been introduced in the U.S. Congress, containing as many as 13 articles of impeachment. The authors argue that the president is subject to impeachment for “high crimes and misdemeanors” — ranging from waging an illegal war and abuse of power to usurping budget authority, pressuring the justice system, and using power for personal gain.

🇳🇱 PM JETTEN: Russians are losing badly right now. They're losing enormous numbers of Russian troops on the front. Russian economy is in incredibly bad shape, and pressure in Russian society is increasing. This is the moment to provide Ukraine with extra financial and military support. To impose new sanctions on Russia. To ensure that we release 90 billion euros to Ukraine very quickly and speed up negotiations with Ukraine regarding their future in Europe. In the meantime, we're not going to let ourselves be intimidated by Russian threats. We're not going to let ourselves be blackmailed by Russia. In fact, we're looking at how Dutch and Ukrainian companies can cooperate better for security of Ukraine and security of Netherlands.

Trump trashes California. California pays his war bills. Perhaps it’s time we look into cutting you off, @realDonaldTrump???

Donald Trump casually confesses he completely ignored expert consultants who warned his war in Iran would trigger a global depression and send oil to 300 dollars a barrel. The US President is recklessly gambling the entire global economy purely on an arrogant gut feeling.

Meanwhile Lavrov sits down with Xi and says 🇷🇺 🇨🇳 are the anti military stabilisers of the world! This is what 🇺🇸 desertion of Ukraine 🇺🇦 and war in 🇮🇷 have “achieved”

They have called us back at midnight to cast a secret vote to reauthorize FISA while America sleeps. A yes vote gives Trump more power to surveil Americans. Every Democrat must vote no. Everyone who loves the constitution must vote no.

Father Edward Beck: "I think that Catholics are recognizing that, and they're upset by it. Not only Catholics. I hear a lot of people, Jews, Christians, talking to me, saying, 'What is going on with this president? He's gone off the rails with this. And why is he picking the Pope to have this battle with?'"

🚨TRUMP IS OUT COLD Scott Bessent does the usual Kim Jong Un type of praise and turns around to see his reaction: TRUMP: Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
