💥'Total Failure': Israel’s Return to War Heaped Ruin on Gaza and Did Little for Israelis nytimes.com/2025/07/28/wor…
This is the kind of thing you say when you, as someone I know who once worked for @realDonaldTrump used to say (only slightly) hyperbolically, “only have a vocabulary of 200 words.”
Trump on Gaza: "We're gonna be getting some good strong food."
Welker plays Lindsey Graham a video montage of his own comments showing that back in 2017, he was telling the truth about Russian interference -- a contrast with his efforts these days to do Trump's bidding by muddying the waters
💥Shit that happens when a legally elected prime minister appoints a recidivist terror ex-con minister in charge of the police. @BGrueskin
💥"Come get the humanitarian aid before I put you on the barbecue," says Yinon Magal, one of Netanyahu's lesser Tuckers, "humanitarian aid before the fryer."
The fact that Trump keeps lying about this is even more evidence that whatever is in the files is very damaging
Reporter: Were you ever briefed about your name being in the Epstein files? Trump: No
“[Trump] is thoroughly capable of it [pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell]. “He’s a moral maggot who absolutely has no capacity for shame, empathy, or remorse. All he cares about is what he thinks will get him to the next day.” youtu.be/ZaWrfsP5Hqw
This is extraordinary. A GHF ex contractor, former US special forces lieutenant-colonel, tells @BowenBBC he never saw brutality against civilians like he did at the hands of the IDF and US contractors in Gaza - and he fought ISIS and the Taliban bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w1…
💸 NADA QUE FESTEJAR El FMI aceptó desembolsar U$D 2.000 millones tras pasar la primera revisión del programa, algo que el presidente Javier Milei festejó como si fuera la copa del mundo. La verdad es que no es algo para festejar, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta la indulgencia del…
Avui, el gran @ClaretVives ressenya el meu Sánchez Mazas (@tauruseditorial) a @ARAllegim. Moltes, moltes gràcies!
La meva ressenya de SÁNCHEZ MAZAS by @mfuentescodera (@tauruseditorial) per @ARAllegim: “un personatge esquiu i omnipresent, víctima i beneficiari d’una sèrie de girs del destí i, sobretot, ocult rere successives màscares” llegim.ara.cat/critiques-lite…
He would rather pardon a known child sex trafficker than release the files that he knows his name is in. Do you see where all this is going, MAGA?
Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: "I'm allowed to do it"
“The 2020 Senate committee investigation, which interviewed more than 200 witnesses and reviewed a million documents over three years, came to the same conclusion. “Trump’s secretary of state, Marco Rubio, signed off on the committee’s findings at the time, when he was acting…
BREAKING: Illinois just beat the Trump Administration in federal court. Their case challenging the bipartisan TRUST Act was dismissed — unlike the President, we follow the law and listen to the courts.
Gaza is more than a humanitarian crisis – it is a moral crisis that challenges the global conscience. We will continue to speak out. But words don’t feed hungry children. The @UN stands ready to make the most of a ceasefire to dramatically scale up humanitarian operations.
#Nacionales El diputado @EstebanPaulon cuestionó la presencia de #JavierMilei en el evento privado #DerechaFest en Córdoba y denunció que el traslado presidencial costó unos 80 mil dólares. Exigió información oficial sobre los gastos y criticó el uso de recursos públicos para…
Maxwell was the trafficker. She procured the girls for Epstein to rape. She’s not a victim. She’s a monster.
Ghislaine Maxwell Attorney: We haven't spoken to the president or anybody about a pardon just yet. The president this morning said he had the power to do so and we hope he exercises that power in a right and just way.
Trump’s tariff threats against Brazil may well achieve the opposite of their intended effect. Rather than forcing Brazil into submission, they have galvanized national resistance, undermined pro-U.S. voices, and exposed the risks of overreliance on an erratic partner.

"So the AG and the deputy FBI director are screaming at each other. A 'senior administration official' is telling the WSJ all about it. And the president is involved in decisions not to release reports about his behavior. This is how coverups unravel." thebulwark.com/p/donald-the-c…
