Episcopal Church's bishop of Europe, Mark Eddington, on JD Vance's explanation of the protests in Paris. Priceless.

🚨EPIC: Gina Hinojosa couldn’t get coward Greg Abbott to agree to a debate, so she held one outside his mansion without him.
“What time is it? Well, I guess the governor is a no-show - Which is not surprising, because he has been a no-show for Texans for years.” Perfect shade.

If Musk is responsible for weakening Ukraine's defenses at this critical time, his businesses need to be excluded from any critical infrastructure in Europe. Not as a sanction, but as self-protection.

🚨 BREAKING: Gina Hinojosa is suing Greg Abbott for violating public records law to hide his emails with Elon Musk.
Ken Paxton as AG redacted all but 200 of 1,374 pages after Abbott argued the conversations between him and Musk are "intimate and embarrassing."
Hinojosa alleges the emails might cover tax incentives for Musk's companies, data center development, broadband deals, and more.
She's asking the court to force Abbott to unredact the remaining 1,174 pages.
Follow the money...

Either this is true, which would be a terrible sign that the President is not in control of his own Pentagon, or it's false, in which case the President is lying about a crucial national security issue for some reason.

I don’t understand why farmers need an endless series of welfare payments from the rest of us since Trump took office. Aren’t his policies working for you? You need us to pay you so you will keep voting for the guy who is failing you? Don’t you believe in free market capitalism?

Rachel Maddow: "Russia is a podunk country. The idea that we work for him is so humiliating and such an abject failure on the part of Trump in terms of his weakness. I don't know what Putin has on him, but he works for Putin and it's an embarrassment to this country"

Donald Trump is threatening to cripple Ukraine in its survival—and to expose Europe to Russian aggression—seemingly for the pitiful prize of minimising his losses in next month’s midterm elections economist.com/leaders/2026/1…

Steve Witkoff has financial interests in russia and he’s in Moscow because Americas foreign policy is now about making as much corrupt cash as possible for the Trump family. That’s why they’re calling Putin a humanitarian.
His missiles are crashing into Kyiv right now by the way

🚨HOLY SHIT: Lawrence O’Donnell just EVISCERATED mentally “lost” Donald Trump in the BEST way possible:
“Instead of campaigning on the senator's record, Donald Trump concentrated on the senator's ass.
And in the week since then, apparently Donald Trump has not been able to stop thinking about that man's ass.
Donald Trump found himself obsessing over more body parts:
"I looked at his shoulders. I looked at his feet. I looked at his hand. I looked at his jawline, studying. He's got a jawline. But then I patted him on the shoulder, and it was like a piece of steel.
I sort of ... I'm still recovering."
He's not recovering. The parts of Donald Trump's mind that he appears to have lost are not coming back. They're never coming back.
The fact that Donald Trump was in Kentucky Saturday obsessing over a man's ass he saw in Ohio a week ago, that wasn't even in Kentucky Saturday, is very bad news for Republicans because Republicans don't normally need presidential help to win elections in Kentucky.
And the coverage Donald Trump got by campaigning in Kentucky was this headline in The New York Times, "In Campaign's Final Stretch, Trump Can't Stop Praising Men's Bodies."

Delta Air Lines has chosen not to go with Starlink, and Elon Musk is upset. Musk said that Delta’s CEO would “lose his job” for snubbing Starlink.
Elon Musk quietly becomes biggest known donor in midterm contests as he tries to save Republicans.

Russian sanctions were lifted, then he brags he gave nothing in return for Stephen Hubbard's release.
This happened when two women journalists repeated his own words back to him. He explodes. Twice.
REPORTER: You're saying you lifted the sanctions in exchange for his release, right, Mr. President?
TRUMP: You don't know what you're talking about.
REPORTER: But that's what you're saying.
TRUMP: You're a dummy. You're a low IQ person. You work for CNN.
Then he turns on another reporter:
TRUMP: Are you a stupid person? Who do you work for?
REPORTER: ABC News.
TRUMP: You're a stupid person, and by the way, your network is the worst of all.
Thank a journalist today.

“The Ukrainians are not going to fold. They're not going to surrender. You can cut off their Patriots, you can cut off their intelligence. But people don't like to live on their knees. Ukrainians are not going to give up their territory because doing so would condemn all the people in that territory to torture, rape and murder. So it's not going to happen.”
“So what President Trump has actually done is he's undermined his own objective, to get to a quick resolution of the war, which I think he really wants, by pursuing a strategy which is to lower pressure on Putin and to raise pressure on Ukraine, which is going to achieve the opposite result.”
“So, it's not going to work, because you can't choose a country's fate without including that country and its people. 44 million people who have a right to dignity and sovereignty and a say over how they live. And none of those people want to live under the cruel rule of Vladimir Putin, no matter what President Trump thinks about it.”
“And then you add the fact that Trump is actively aiding Putin, by promoting a narrative of the war that is false, exactly matches Russian propaganda, and places Zelensky in a terrible position where he's got to either decide to live in Trump's reality, which is a bunch of lies about how the war started and how how it's going, or to defend his people and do his job as the president of the country.”
“You add all those things together, it's a perfect storm of toxicity whereby the president is putting America on the side of the aggressor and the war criminals and against the side of the victims of this conflict. And it's bizarre. And there's no way to to look at that and to say that's anything that America has ever stood for in the past. Yet, here we are.”
“And the result is very predictable and predicted. He's going to get a lot of Ukrainians killed without actually solving the problem. And that's a tragedy.”

Trump has decided to hold me—rather than Putin—responsible for all the problems. He claims to his supporters that diesel prices in America are rising because of us, — Zelenskyy.
I find it wrong and unacceptable that Trump blames me for Russian aggression and the crimes committed by Russia. He is distorting the context, and that is unfair. In my view, this is merely an attempt to divert attention from the situation in Iran and events in the Middle East. The Strait of Hormuz is blocked—that is the true core of the problem. Yet, all of this is being pinned on us, and I, as head of state, am being made a target.

The greatest intelligence failure in American history may not have been a foreign operation. It may have been America's inability to protect itself from its own president.
For years, the evidence of Trump's extraordinary loyalty to Moscow has been mounting. His admiration for Putin, his attacks on NATO, his possession of highly classified American defence secrets, and his repeated willingness to advance Russian interests.
Yet the most extraordinary part of this entire scandal is the American state itself. The FBI, the intelligence community, Congress and the entire national security apparatus have proved incapable of protecting the country from a president whose conduct has repeatedly raised profound questions about his loyalty.
Russia spent decades trying to defeat the United States from the outside. Now Putin can watch an American president dismantle the Western order from within.
And the institutions built to defend America have been unable to stop him.
What an extraordinary national humiliation.
Donald Trump has abandoned the Western order, turning America into a Russian ally, @RadioFreeTom argues: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…

.@jamestalarico after Elon Musk sent $158M to support Ken Paxton:
"Big money is powerful. I don't want to sugarcoat that. The richest man in the world is coming after us, but it is nothing compared to people power. Elon wants our land. He's already trying to buy one of our beautiful state parks down in South Texas. He wants our water for these AI data centers. He wants our taxpayer funds like when he ran that crazy DOGE process, and he wants his very own personal United States senator, and that's what he thinks he can get with Ken Paxton."
Brother Mark retweeted
Wow. Trump is called out for caving on Russian Sanctions.
His response? “You’re a stupid person.”
Donald Trump just told Veterans poisoned by toxic water at Camp Lejeune that they’ll only get the money they’re owed if Republicans win the midterms.
These are Marines and their families who drank contaminated water for decades, got cancer, and have been begging the government for relief. But when Trump visits them for a rally, his only message is: vote my way or you get nothing. That's desperate and disgusting behavior from our Commander In Chief.

🔴 "He waited forty years, and finally found the fool willing to fight his war."
Abdul El-Sayed is speaking of an open secret. It is not a conspiracy theory. It is a timeline.
💥 A Forty-Year Project
1986: Netanyahu is working with the Israeli mission to the United Nations. He writes a book titled Terrorism: How the West Can Win. In it he argues that Iran is the root of all problems in the Middle East and must be contained.
1996: He becomes Prime Minister for the first time. He contributes to a policy paper for an American neoconservative think tank titled A Clean Break. The document asserts that toppling Saddam Hussein is the first step toward reshaping the Middle East. But the ultimate target is not Iraq. It is Iran.
2002: He testifies before the US Congress. He states, "Saddam does not possess nuclear weapons." But he adds, "Iran is developing nuclear weapons. It must be stopped."
2015: He delivers a speech to the US Congress denouncing the nuclear deal between the Obama administration and Iran as a very bad deal, likening it to appeasement. Standing at the podium on Capitol Hill, he receives a standing ovation from Republican lawmakers, while the Democrats remain seated, cold and unmoved.
2018: Trump withdraws the US from the Iran nuclear deal. On television, Netanyahu presents a collection of documents claiming they come from Iran's secret nuclear archives. He declares, "Iran is lying. Iran has always lied. Iran will always lie."
2020: Iranian General Qasem Soleimani is assassinated. Israel does not claim responsibility. But the timeline speaks for itself.
February 28, 2026: The US and Israel go to war with Iran. Netanyahu remarks, "We have completed 90 percent of the work."
Forty years. The same man. The same goal. The same path.
🎯 Who did he find?
El-Sayed says, "He finally found the fool willing to fight his war."
That fool is not a single person. It is a moment in time. It was a moment defined by domestic political collapse, the looming pressure of elections, and a desperate need for a victory to serve as a lifeline. It was a moment when a president faced impeachment and indictment, saw his approval ratings slide, and confronted the potential for a disastrous outcome in the midterm elections.
Trump was not persuaded. He was needed.
He was a president who needed to divert attention. A president who needed to prove that America is winning. A president who needed to deliver results for his evangelical base. A president who needed to satisfy the arms industry. And a president who needed to ensure the continued support of the pro Israel lobby.
Netanyahu provided him with all of this in exchange for just one thing. That American pilots would bomb Iran, that American taxpayers would foot the bill, and that American soldiers would bear the brunt of any retaliation.
This is the endgame of the Forty Year Project. Let others fight for you, let others die for you, and let others pay for you.
📜 Who Is Footing the Bill?
Who is paying for this war?
American taxpayers. C-5M transport aircraft land at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. Carrier strike groups steam toward the Middle East. 8.6 billion dollars in emergency arms sales bypasses congressional oversight. Stocks of Patriot interceptor missiles have dwindled to just 25 percent of what is required. This money is not being drawn from an account in Tel Aviv. It is being drawn from the US Treasury.
American consumers. Gasoline prices are rising. Diesel prices are climbing. Inflation is eroding wages. Every bomb that falls on Iran translates into higher prices at gas stations across America.
The people of the Middle East. Hospitals in Iran are bombed. Villages in Lebanon are destroyed. The blockade of Yemen continues. Syrian territory is annexed. These are not collateral damage. They are the direct outputs of war.
And what does Israel gain? It gains a weakened Iran. It gains an Israel that is even more dependent on the United States. It gains a more fractured Middle East. It gains more land. It gains greater security.
Who is footing the bill? Not Israel. It is Israel's friends, its allies, and its protectors.
⚔️ The True Meaning of Dumbass
The term used by Said is dumbass. It is a crude word, yet it provides an accurate description.
It does not refer to someone who has been deceived, misled, or manipulated. Rather, it refers to someone who, fully aware that a given conflict is Israel's war, chooses to fight it anyway.
Did Trump know that this war served Israel's interests? He did. When he withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal, Netanyahu applauded from his own office. When he recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital, Netanyahu cheered on Twitter. When he recognized the Golan Heights as Israeli territory, Netanyahu named a settlement after him.
He knew. He knew all along. He simply did not care, because he gained votes, donations, media exposure, and a campaign slogan: I am tough on Iran.
To call someone a dumbass here does not imply ignorance. It implies that, despite knowing the truth, they acted as they did, because the personal benefits to them outweighed the benefits to the United States.
🔻 The Next Dumbass
Netanyahu's forty year project will not end just because Trump leaves office.
It will continue searching for the next candidate. The next president in need of a distraction. The next president desperate to prove he is tougher than Obama. The next president seeking the support of Jewish and Evangelical voters. The next president who needs to satisfy arms manufacturers, earn the applause of the Israel lobby, and secure funding from the Gulf monarchies.
This project is not about Iran. It is about the United States. It exploits the American political system to make the US foot the bill for Israel's wars.
Said spoke the truth. And the truth is this. The project requires the United States to have a dumbass, and that is exactly whom the American electorate chose.
Long live the Resistance. Long live the Axis of Resistance.
Abdul El-Sayed on Iran:
War in Iran. Everybody could have told you this is a dumb idea.
There was really only one person in the whole world who's had a 40-year project to get us to fight this war.
He's a prime minister of another government.
And he finally found the dumbass who was willing to do it.
