This is really chilling. Like a scene from a dystopian movie, and alarming for anyone who cares about democracy. A judicial nominee flagrantly flouting the constitution about Trump's eligibility for a third term. The constitution is unambiguous. He is not eligible.
JUST IN: A Trump judicial nominee was asked point blank: is Trump eligible to run for a third term? Their answer: “I would have to review the actual wording…” Sen. Chris Coons then asked every nominee in the room to confirm the Constitution bars a third term. Silence. Every single one of them refused to say it. Trump is appointing judges who won’t affirm the 22nd Amendment to his face. Never stop connecting the dots.

Even Trump’s supporters are now saying he’s mad and dangerous.
OPINION: Imagine it was someone other than President Donald Trump. Suppose a different leader were posting deranged rants in the small hours, insulting the spiritual leader of 1.3 billion Catholics, threatening entire civilizations with annihilation, and comparing himself to God. What would be the reaction? MORE: trib.al/8NOOXa6

Absolutely agree. Take note.
News organisations need to be unflinching in their use of strong language to describe Trump. Too often we have normalised the abnormal. Mea culpa. I did it myself at the BBC and often came up against institutional timidity. My weekend read. open.substack.com/pub/histor…

EXCLUSIVE @TheAtlantic On multiple occasions Patel’s security detail had difficulty waking him because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to info supplied to DOJ and White House officials. A request for “breaching equipment”was made because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors. theatlantic.com/politics/202…

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

🚨 BREAKING: The House just failed to end Trump’s Iran war by ONE vote. 213-214. One Democrat. Jared Golden of Maine. That’s it. That’s the margin. One Democrat crossed the aisle and gave Trump the war.

'Man of God' Pete Hegseth tries to quote the bible - ends up quoting a fake verse from Pulp Fiction. "He would have got away with it if it hadn’t been for all those people who, unfortunately, had seen Pulp Fiction." @maitlis | @jonsopel

Let me walk you through what happened one hour before Trump announced the five day moratorium on Iran strikes. $1.5 billion in notional S&P E-mini futures contracts. Four to six times normal activity. One hour before the announcement. Simultaneously, $192 million in crude oil futures purchased at the same time. They made between $300 and $400 million dollars off those trades. Trump claimed he spoke to an Iranian official to negotiate the moratorium. The Iranians said that person doesn't exist and the conversation never happened. This is not the first time. It has happened multiple times. He says something. The trade goes on. He says another thing. The market moves. But whatever you call it — they are laughing at you and they are laughing at me while they do it. Hunter Biden sold a painting and Washington lost its mind. These people are making hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars trading on information that only exists inside the most powerful office in the world. I think we are dramatically underreporting how much money is actually being made here. This isn't politics anymore. This is a financial operation running out of the White House.

Absolute bombshell. Data reveals someone made a massive 580 MILLION dollar trade on oil exactly 15 minutes BEFORE Donald Trump posted his tweet about pausing the Iran war. Someone on the inside just made a life changing fortune. The corruption is blatant.

Early Monday morning, seconds before Trump posted he was postponing escalation of the war in Iran, a handful of oil market bets were made to cash in on Trump's post. These were people with inside info - most likely in the White House. You need to know this story of corruption.
