The dumbest SOB ever to occupy the office.
Donald Trump is notorious for filing lawsuits at the drop of a hat. He's filed over 4,000 of them. Many for defamation.
But Donald *will not* sue Ted Lieu for defamation. Why? He's been told by lawyers that in defamation actions, truth is an absolute defense.
Italian position (reposting with context)
PM Meloni stated Italy has not and will not participate in US/Israeli war against Iran
Meanwhile, Italy is sending defensive air assets to Gulf allies to protect its ~2K troops and citizens there.
Their diplomacy has been a balancing act by design.
Trump wants you to pay attention to this instead of what is happening with the economy and your cost of living. On top of that, taxpayers are about to get a big fat bill for his bombing fetish.
I intend no disrespect whatsoever for this author, I just want to note that I have never before seen such a perfect combination of photograph and headline that makes me feel perfectly satisfied with my reading experience without clicking on the link

He voted for Kristi Noem to give her a chance. How did that work out?
Iran has killed over 1.2 million Americans.
No, sorry, that was the number of Americans *Donald Trump* killed with his incompetent response to COVID.
The Republican Party's descent into open Islamophobia is not just disgusting β it's also completely un-American. Muslims have been part of the American experiment since before this country began. We will not let the GOP smear millions of Muslim Americans in order to distract from Trump's failures.
No one will vote for Florida Mike Rogers.
Trump leverages federal disaster aid to promote the Republican candidate for US Senate in Michigan.
Texas is a world economic powerhouse β working Texans built that power. We shouldnβt have to struggle so much to afford basics like a roof over our head or healthcare.
The system under Abbott is working against us. We need a clean slate and a fresh start.
BREAKING : Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is taking a stance against the actions of the US & Israel
"Italy will withdraw the army from US led adventure in Middle East and will not participate in the war against Iran"
Trump: "We have the hottest country and guys like you make it hot."
JD Vance: "Joe Biden left us in a terrible situation, and the reason why gas prices are where they are today is because of Donald Trump's work to get them lower."
We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didnβt think he had any duty to sell it or serve the peopleβs interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.
Federal Judge to Jeannine Pirro: π₯
βThere is abundant evidence that the subpoenasβ dominant (if not sole) purpose is to harass and pressure Powell either to yield to the president or to resign and make way for a Fed Chair who will.β
Democrat Andy Thomson has won the mayoral election in Boca Raton, Florida.
He flipped the seat after 30 years of Republican mayors, winning by just 5 votes.
The Trump WH is starting to reap what it has sown in terms of screwing over counterparties:
-Iran can't trust a negotiated settlement so why reach one?
-Ds in Congress can't trust Trump to follow the law so why bargain w/him?
-Universities see past deals leading to future shakedowns so why make one?
Boca Raton, FL Mayor (Trump +13)
Thomson leads by 1 vote following a machine recount, flipping the seat to Democrats.
π΅ Andy Thomson β 7,568 (39.62%)
π΄ Mike Liebelson β 7,567 (39.61%)
π΄ Fran Nachlas β 3,967 (20.77%)
JD Vance is gearing up for 2028. π
Because of course. She's quite indignant that an "activist judge" (*everybody drink*) dared to interfere with her blatantly political prosecution.
Too on the nose
Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting the Dodd-Frank Act and reducing regulations for mortgage lenders.
2008 would like a word.
Hegseth on more American soldiers dying yesterday in the Iran War: βBad things can happenβ
Our biggest break is how incompetent Trump fascism is. A competent fascist would have had this country wrapped up by now.
β’ If there's one thing controversial CBS News editor Bari Weiss has earned praise for it's her hands-on booking of big names for the network. But there's one booking she seems to have blown up: New York mayor Zohran Mamdani, who had been in talks to appear for an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning with Robert Costa. Mamdani's team, I'm told, has long been averse to appearing on CBS given the coverage his campaign got from Weiss's The Free Press, but her recent social media post reacting with a fire emoji to an Iranian activist's diatribe against Mamdani was the "nail in the coffin" for him appearing on the network, two sources with knowledge told me. "Bari and her people have a clear axe to grind for him," said one former CBS producer. (CBS News did not respond to a request for comment.) And the network's turn away from news and toward opinion is proving to be a broader problem. "It's not just Zohran," the source said. "It's really
lol. CBS had been trying to get Zohran Mamdani for an interview, but Bari Weiss' deranged tweeting caused him to turn it down
