JFK once invited to dinner 49 Nobel laureates, Robert Frost, William Styron, Ernest Hemingway, James Baldwin, Katherine Anne Porter, John Dos Passos, James Farrell and Lionel and Diana Trilling, and others. His line on the occasion became famous: “I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House—with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone." Some of you were alive when that happened.
“Michelle Obama is a man” shouted on the White House lawn in a ring sponsored by Bud Light only available on Larry Ellison’s Paramount Plus. What a way to celebrate America 250 and the twilight of liberal democracy.

Hitler killed himself and Germany surrendered. Japan got nuked. Do they teach history in Ohio?
JD Vance: If you go back to WW2 or every major conflict in human history, they all ended with some kind of negotiation.
Community note
World War II ended with unconditional surrenders by Germany on May 8, 1945, and Japan on September 2, 1945, rather than negotiation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconditi… archives.gov/milestone-docu… nationalww2museum.org/war/topics/end…

A completely dishonest characterization of facilities engaged in benign basic biological, medical, and veterinary research. It is no different from research performed in the U.S. or Europe. Ukraine only has a few facilities rated BSL-3 and none rated BSL-4.
Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine. In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted. odni.gov/index.php/newsroom/…

One last piece of Russian propaganda before she departs. Nothing about Russia’s Nazi-style filtration camps in occupied eastern Ukraine, the torture network, forced deportations, or the thousands of civilians and POWs subjected to abuse. Shocker…………not!

Blimey. The questions were devoid of surprises. The answers are for the ages.
Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.

Candace Owens’ entire career is predicated on psychotic contrarian takes. Someone follow up with her after she moves to Russia and gets thrown out of a window for spreading conspiracy theories about Vladimir Putin.

9 June 1983. Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative Party won a landslide General Election victory with an overall majority of 144. The Labour Party, led by Michael Foot, lost 60 seats and its total of 209 was the worst seat total since 1935.

A glorious night for freedom’s friends.
#OTD 1983. General Election. Although Thatcher wins less votes than in 79, her majority increases to 144. Labour endure their worst electoral performance since 1923. Jim Callaghan gives an immediate verdict - blaming the party’s position on defence.

The thing about Donald Trump—the most consistent thing—is that he is the whiniest bitch on the planet.
U.S. President Donald J. Trump got angry and stormed out of an interview last week with NBC News’ Meet the Press, as Kristen Welker pressed him on baseless claims that he and other administration officials have made in the past regarding the integrity of the 2020 Presidential Election, which Trump lost to Joe Biden. President Trump closed out the interview by stating: “Your elections are crooked and you’re crooked and Meet the Press is crooked and so is ABC and CBS and CNN. You’re one-sided crooked networks. So let's call it quits because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time.”

Goodness, who is responsible for this debacle?
NEW: @GregAbbott_TX says the spread of New World screwworm into Texas poses an “imminent threat” of widespread damage to the state's livestock industry and economy. He's now declared a disaster for all 254 Texas counties.

If you’ve been to the American Military Cemetery in Normandy, and you’ve looked out over those rows of crosses and stars of David, you’ll know how odious this man is. Those men didn’t die for this ideology or assholes like Pete Hegseth.
Pete Hegseth in Normandy: Sadly, today different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. In Spain and Italy and Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late?

It is no coincidence Trump & his allies are targeting 60 Minutes. Not only is this is a deliberate effort to weaken a free press, they also know independent reporting reaches audiences beyond their political base — which is why they work so hard to discredit them.
