Journalists at the Pentagon have handed over their badges and walked out after refusing to submit to repressive new press access rules from TV entertainer and inexplicably Secretary of War/Defense/whatevs Pete Hegseth.

Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.

Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.

If this isn't corruption, what is?

Excuse me?

If PM had intervened Badenoch would be complaining that the independence of the DPP had been compromised. PM did absolutely the right thing. Case collapsed precisely as he explained - on the Tories watch, because of their failure to update legislation. LoTO should be apologising. Not doubling down.

"Virginia Giuffre died by suicide on 25 April 2025."

"I’d show up, perform whatever sex acts Epstein wanted, then hang out beside his vast swimming pool while he got some work done. If Maxwell was there, I was often told to attend to her sexually as well."

Most beloved films of my youth: Laughing at Nazis and cheering the deaths of Nazis.

Least beloved stories of today: Another day, another GOP staffer does some sort of pro-Nazi nonsense. I hate it here.

Remember how we cheered when their faces melted off in Raiders of the Lost Ark? Man that was fun.

Some unsubstantiated nonsense from POTUS.

—Claims "couple of days with no boats to be found." US struck a boat *yesterday.* (Perhaps Trump didn't write yesterday's post announcing the strike...)

—Claims each boat is killing 25,000 Americans. Boats not carrying fentanyl. Don't appear headed for US.

Trump: "We just ordered about 20 brand new B2 bombers. I know Putin when I was riding with him in Alaska, we passed a lot of them and he said, 'That really did the trick.' I said, 'Yeah it did.'"

Trump: "Iran is trying to survive. When I heard the reports two weeks ago, 'Iran is looking to build a nuclear weapon,' I said 'don't worry about it.'"

NBC News has reportedly eliminated its NBC BLK, NBC Asian America, NBC Latino and NBC OUT teams

Trump suggests he may get even more involved in prosecuting his political foes: "What we're doing is nothing. I don't have to leave it up to them. But I choose to at this moment at least."

Is this a memorial event or a Comedy Central Roast?

Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.

I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.
