As a journalist, it's not my job to tell you who to vote for.
As a journalist, it IS my job to warn you that if we vote Donald Trump back into office, it may be the last vote we ever cast.

Imagine being this person and unironically writing “my advice” at this moment.
This is simply not the case: “In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon…”
“No cash will exchange hands” — this ignores the oil waivers and releases from frozen assets worth billions to the regime.
My advice: don’t oversell any deal the way the Obama administration did.

This is like how Trump called NAFTA “the worst Trade Deal ever made,” rebranded it as USMCA, and then called it “the best and most important trade deal ever made.”

Going to be an incredible weekend in Washington, D.C. at the White House for @danawhite’s UFC Freedom 250 on the South Lawn and celebrating President Trump’s birthday. 🇺🇸

At least a hundred. We still make movies about how Roman emperors used to murder people for fun in the Colosseum and that’s been 1500, 1600 years.

NEW: The Kennedy Center is a reminder that we can win, it will be messy, and Trump will be petty.
The illegal effort to put Trump's name on the Kennedy Center has always been a metaphor — but, this weekend, it became a story of how we get through this.

And instead America’s 250th is about our last ditch attempt to prevent losing our democracy to a criminal, coup-attempting would-be autocrat.
If Trump had lost, America’s entire 250th 4th of July would be about gay pride, apologizing for a history we shouldn’t be apologizing for… and DEI nonsense.

Amazing if four months of war comes to an end with J.D. Vance getting an email "Please DocuSign these documents: IranUSA_MOU_Final_FINAL_ActuallyFinal_V43"

Pakistani officials saying that the Iran-US agreement MOU will be signed electrically tomorrow. Araghchi implied this was the case in a lengthy interview for Iran state TV yesterday.
This suggests that there will be no in-person component (though it's possible something comes after the signing).
Technical discussions will commence shortly thereafter.

If you’d told me 20 years ago that I’d be working with folks from the Weekly Standard, I would have laughed. “That’ll happen when there’s a coup in America.”
Proud to stand with my friends from the right who chose the right side. Join us at @BulwarkOnline wsj.com/business/media/the-b…

“President Trump himself will occupy an arena-level seat, positioned like a Roman emperor in his pulvinar—the imperial box—and surrounded by senators and dignitaries, if not the traditional six Vestal Virgins” theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

Looks like Hungary is coming off that list.
And we're being added.

Applebaum: What binds Russia, China, Iran and North Korea is not religion or ideology.
China is communist, Russia nationalist, Iran theocratic. What binds them is fear of liberal language: rights, rule of law, separation of powers and independent courts. 1/

Hold on, time out.
According to this guy being a convicted felon is bad?

Bloated Bannon is a conniver, conman, and convicted felon. He’s found he can make an easy buck grifting like Traitor Tucker Qatarlson and appealing to our enemies.
There’s a reason why he will not release the Epstein-Bannon tapes and is silent about them. And none of the Woke Reich ever mention the Epstein-Bannon tapes.
Why hasn’t Comer subpoenaed the tapes and forced his deposition?

This is something I’m hearing in Hungary.
This time the opposition did not let Orban co-opt Hungarian symbols and the flag. It helped them toss their autocrat.
It’s not their flag - it’s ours. It’s a proud American symbol, and it doesn’t belong to Trump or MAGA. This weekend, take back our flag and share with us how you’re displaying your patriotism #TakeBackTheFlag

Trump’s White House UFC fight this weekend has required more than seven federal agencies, hundreds of staff working onsite daily and at least $60 million, according to a legal filing.
Quite a use of government resources for fight night. 🤔

More civilians were killed and injured in Ukraine by Russia in May than in any other month in the past four years, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine.
Russia is a terrorist state, still hoping to bomb Ukraine into submission after all these years. It didn't work before, and it won't work now.

WATCH — @abbydphillip: “What about the law, Scott?”
@ScottJenningsKY: “What about it? Who cares?” 🤔
Refreshing honesty from the smuggest man in the world. The law does not matter to them.
