Imagine being president of the United States and your biggest intellectual flex is knowing what a giraffe looks like.
Trump: "The first one is they show you a lion, a bear, a snake, and a giraffe. And they say, 'Which one is the giraffe?' I got a perfect score."

We’re not talking nearly enough about the sitting president of the United States sending our troops to die in a war while aligning our country with the dictator helping to kill them.

There have, of course, been times in human history that were even darker and more terrible. But never, it seems, have there been times so despicable and, above all, so stupid.

German Chancellor Merz: My biggest concern is Russia's underestimated impact on European societies. Russia is on the way to destabilise the entire political order of Europe. Many people in Germany underestimate this threat, and the war in Ukraine is only part of it. 1/

He’s clearly losing it. Then again, did he ever have it? Are US voters finally going to see through the grifter-in-chief?
Trump just threatened a reporter in the Oval Office moments ago: “Listen to you. Hey, I'm not pointing. You better, you better, I don't know who the hell you are, but you better be careful." This man is unhinged. Vote for the people who will hold him in check.

What horrifyingly diabolic symbolism: today, Russia killed a one-year-old child and a 100-year-old woman in Ukraine. Absolute, pure, all-consuming evil.

The worst part of this war is never feeling safe. Schools, hospitals, parks, gas stations, bridges — nowhere is safe. Every ordinary moment could be your last.

This is how you dismantle hate: When an Islamophobe bigot targeted his faith and questioned his loyalty, Abdul El-Sayed delivered a masterful response — invoking John F. Kennedy's historic legacy to firmly declare where his true allegiance lies.

Kremlin couldn’t write a better script
Ukraine has “already lost” the war against Russia, says @Alice_Weidel, co-leader of the Alternative for Germany party, which is leading German opinion polls. She told @zannymb, that Germany should pull the plug on support for Ukraine against Vladimir Putin’s invasion. Watch the full interview at 6pm London time (1pm in New York): bit.ly/4yrcX9s

“I think it is a bit unusual that we have a leader with such power, which the president of the United States has, who happens to be such an inadequate leader for the world.” Former Irish President Mary Robinson reflects on the importance of rule of law and her view of the Trump administration's conduct.

‼️ Russia hit Kyiv with 6 ballistic missiles. There was no warning of the launches, no air raid alert. People had no time to reach shelter. The attack is still ongoing.

Kharkiv is under heavy Russian attack tonight. An entire entrance of an apartment building is gone. People are trapped under the rubble. When Russia is desperate, it kills.

Bankrolling a Fascist War Machine and the Murder of Children: America's Ultimate Moral Collapse Just when you thought this country couldn't sink any lower under a spineless, power-mad tyrant, we hit absolute rock bottom with this sickening display of idiocy. By groveling before Vladimir Putin and trading our morality for Russian diesel, Trump has committed an unforgivable act of treason — he is a literal TRAITOR who belongs nowhere near the Oval Office. The calls for his immediate removal are a moral necessity. But the shame doesn't stop with him. Every single voter who still enables, defends, or blindly ignores this monster is completely complicit. As President Zelenskyy rightly called out this pathetic display of "obvious weakness," the ugly truth stares us in the face: our dollars are now actively filling the Kremlin’s war chest. Because of Trump's corruption and the public's spineless silence, the United States is officially bankrolling a fascist war machine and directly financing the slaughter, torture, and murder of innocent Ukrainian men, women, and children.
