Nato chief calls for 400% increase in air and missile defences to counter Russian threat

ICE shot a reporter... "Nick Stern, a British news photographer based in Los Angeles, is set to undergo emergency surgery for a wound sustained during the standoff between police and anti-Ice protesters in Los Angeles on Saturday."

Trump congratulates the National Guard in Los Angeles for doing a great job despite the fact they had not yet even arrived. This brings up a quandary we all face: How do we know when Trump is just brazenly lying versus when he's experiencing another creeping advancement of his cognitive decline?

Although many hoped otherwise, we do not seem to be returning to a world in which the center left and the center right compete over tax rates or budgets. Every election is now existential www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

When corruption is normalized, sunlight fades. Trump’s twist? Grift openly—and make the public stop noticing. @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/b-CTt... Follow The Ken Harbaugh Show here: linktr.ee/thekenharbau...

A fairytale in Tuscany. Fun fact: Taken with my smartphone

“The [Liberal] vote is well distributed across urban, suburban, and battleground ridings in Atlantic Canada, Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia. In contrast, Conservative support is more geographically concentrated—[which means] the Conservatives … have to substantially outperform them.”

Good morning #BlueSky 😁💙 Me at the gym. 😂

Russian advances have all but stopped in the last few weeks…tiny gains here and there at very high cost. People might be discounting the fact that Putin needs a ceasefire.

To put a finer point on it. Trump’s contention isn’t just that he can deport people without them appearing before a judge, but that he can render them into a life sentence in a foreign dungeon with no process whatsoever.

More than 80% of the world’s reefs hit by bleaching after worst global event on record

A global survey that interviewed 130,000 people across 125 countries and found 89% thought their national government “should do more to fight global warming”.

Russia "considering" dropping claims to land it doesn’t control is like a thief offering to return what he never stole, hardly a gesture of goodwill, more like a PR stunt.

Sullivan: This has been an unadulterated disaster. And it’s because it’s not just about the policy—it’s that President Trump and his team have gone at the core American advantages in the world and systematically tried to dismantle them.

Pundits are - in vain - looking to economics and politics when trying to explain Trump's behavior. But, in reality, the central place to look if we want to understand Trump and his policies is this: The psychology of dominance. 🧵(1/5)

Exactly. Being destructive is, to him, being powerful.

DEUTSCHE: “.. The market has lost faith in US assets. .. “.. If recent disruption in the US Treasury market continues we see no other option for the Fed but to step in with emergency purchases of US Treasuries to stabilize the bond market.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

DJT's tariffs have now obliterated an entire year of Dow gains.

This is their crash. This is on them, too.
