America has 1.1m foreign students, of whom the greatest proportion come from India and China

This is your regular reminder that it is not un-Jewish or anti-Israeli to oppose to war in Gaza and call out its crimes against civilians. You are taking a position shared by [checks notes] the former Prime Minister of Israel.

US President Donald Trump is a crypto booster — and the faithful went to America’s gambling capital to celebrate. www.ft.com/content/3497...

I don’t know WHO needs me to translate, but bragging about stopping harm to our enemies isn’t noble—it’s treason. He’s not protecting us, he’s protecting THEM! That’s not leadership, it’s betrayal at the highest level.

Leavitt: "The president of course has applied very public pressure to the European Union so that they too can have a miraculous trade deal just like we cut with Britain."

Oh.

So let me get this straight: the "party of the working class" is kicking millions of people off health care to fund tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the rich?

Narrator: they were not considering the offer

President Donald Trump claimed Tuesday that Canada is weighing an offer to become the 51st U.S. state to dodge a $61 billion fee for joining what he called his "fabulous" so-called Golden Dome missile shield.

Nothing sadder than a tough guy who needs to remind you he's tough, right after admitting to shielding Russia.

Finland’s air force tactics, honed since the 1960s, mean a main highway is ready to transform into a military runway to keep flexibility during a conflict

Integrety is priceless. Too few at the top have it these days.

Donald's campaign merch is from China and his jet engines are from England. He's laughing at you when you think he really cares about "America First."

North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, watched the country’s newest 5,000-ton destroyer capsize during its launch last week in an embarrassing military failure. Experts say a technique used to maneuver the ship into the water sideways was part of the problem. Here’s how North Korea botched the launch.

Trump on US Steel: But they're going to invest billions of dollars in steel. And it's a good company. Nissan is a very good company

Ever since ā€œRussia if you’re listeningā€ corruption and criming out in the open is still corruption and criming

Oh for the good old days when every editorial board in America LOUDLY demanded the Clintons shut down their charitable organization for fear it would be used to curry favor w/Hillary if she became President šŸ™ƒ
