Obama: So we have to extend to people during their period of mourning
We can also at the same time say I disagree with the idea that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a mistake
I can disagree with the suggestion that my wife or Justice Jackson does not have adequate brain processing power.

Obama: We have to recognize that on both sides there are people who are extremists
But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the government behind extremist views.

Witkoff's repeating of Kremlin lies about "russian-speakers" wanting to "join Russia" is truly chilling. This is nothing less than carte blanche for Putin's genocidal imperialism. Hearing Americans talk like this should be an electric shock for Europe, not a wakeup call.

🔵🔼 During the battles for Sudzha on the Kursk region, the Russians used blue tape, disguising themselves as Ukrainian soldiers.
❗️This is how stories about “atrocities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces” appear.

Good morning with good news: Spain is pushing fossil fuel (FF) generation off its grid. FF peaked at 66% in 2006 & plunged to 23% in 2024!
FF was 41% in 2019, 37% in 2022 and 28% in 2023.
Spanish decarbonization is mostly wind & solar. They skyrocketed from 7% in 2006 to 43 % in 2024!

Trump just made sure $TSLA tanks even further. But you must give it to Elon: he made the most powerful EV-hater and climate denier in the world buy a Tesla. Well, that is, if this is not a lie. And of course, it is.

So American stocks are collapsing. Trump will try to blame it on the Democrats/Biden, but everyone understands it is he who caused this. The proof for that claim is that European markets stay afloat. That is never the case.

X down (I do not call it Twitter because that is obviously not what it is anymore). I hope it stays down and will not recover. I might get my mental health back.

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

Nobody did more to normalize lying than Donald Trump.
Reporter: Do you still think Zelenskyy is a dictator?
Trump: Umm did I say that? I can’t believe I said that. Next question

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.
I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

The chances of Europe getting their thing together are not high. But they are higher than ever.
Lavrov: "Europe has no place in negotiations on Ukraine"
When will the EU finally show some balls and give all the frozen Russian Central Bank assets to Kyiv? How long will the EU tolerate being humiliated by the Kremlin?

Good to hear diplomats understand.

When asked if he now considers the US an adversary, he replied: "Yes."

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Day 80 continuous. Large marches in Batumi, Tbilisi. This is Tbilisi, from Europe Square to Freedom Square, symbolically. If you thought the mood was going down, you were mistaken. The crisis won't be resolved without new, free and fair elections. #GeorgiaProtests
