The difference between this and the deal Trump tore up is that Iran now gets more money, fewer restrictions, less oversight, and more regional autonomy.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.” Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

Since the @WhiteHouse and @POTUS is mad about this, please don’t retweet or share

Remember when they said Zelensky desecrated the sanctity of the White House by not wearing a suit

LOL Stephen Colbert is making his band play licensed music during his final show so CBS – who fired him – will get sued and have to pay millions "Anyone illegally using that music is gonna have to pay through the nose--" [band starts playing] "Oh no! I hope this doesn't cost CBS any money!"

Hey @Franklin_Graham and @robertjeffress and @Paula_White etc: How does this sit with ya?

President Trump, who is in the midst of pressuring senators to curb the use of mail-in voting, voted by mail ballot in Tuesday’s special election in Palm Beach County, Florida. wapo.st/47fVUwf

Damn. Canada’s not wrong.

BREAKING: Trump’s State Department just declared abortion, DEI, and LGBTQ+ rights “human rights violations” — and the world is stunned. In a jaw-dropping escalation of the Trump administration’s war on basic freedoms, the State Department has quietly rewritten the definition of “human rights” to target abortion access, LGBTQ+ equality, DEI policies, free-speech protections abroad, and even countries that allow refugees into their borders. Yes — Donald Trump is now trying to redefine human rights as the opposite of human rights. The stunning new guidance, sent to every U.S. embassy and consulate on Earth, orders American diplomats to treat the following as human rights abuses: • Countries with state-funded abortion • Countries with workplace DEI protections • Countries that allow gender-affirming care for transgender youth • Countries with “hate speech” laws that crack down on extremist threats • Countries that accept migrants seeking safety In other words, if a country protects women, LGBTQ+ people, minorities, immigrants, or the public from violent speech, the Trump administration wants the world to believe that country is violating human rights. You truly can’t make this up. The administration even wants diplomats to count how many abortions each country performs each year — as if a public health statistic is some kind of war crime, instead of a tool that saves lives. And while Trump is suddenly obsessed with “human rights,” his first human rights report under this new philosophy was one-third the length of previous years and conveniently left out horrific conditions in El Salvador’s prisons and China’s abuses against peaceful protesters. Because when Trump says “human rights,” he apparently means “rights for my base, not for human beings.” Naturally, human rights experts are sounding the alarm. Former senior State Department official Uzra Zeya called the new rules “jaw-dropping animosity toward LGBTQ+ people” and slammed Trump for trying to label DEI as a violation of human rights — calling it a “new low.” Amnesty International warned that Trump’s changes tell the world the U.S. no longer believes in the human rights system it helped build in the aftermath of World War II. Even foreign policy veterans who rarely criticize administrations openly are aghast. One official put it bluntly: “The Trump administration is weaponizing human rights to attack the marginalized instead of protecting them.” Let’s be clear: This is not a human rights policy. It is a culture-war wish list disguised as diplomacy. Trump is using America’s global platform to export the most extreme parts of the MAGA agenda — punishing countries that protect equality and rewarding those that align with far-right ideology. The State Department’s deputy spokesperson even had the gall to claim “destructive ideologies” have taken root around the globe. The truth? The only destructive ideology here is the one that says basic equality is evil and discrimination is freedom. This is the Trump doctrine in a nutshell: Oppression is liberty. Equality is tyranny. Human rights are whatever Donald Trump says they are. And now he wants to impose that worldview on the entire world. This isn’t foreign policy. This is fanaticism wrapped in a flag — and America, along with the global community, will be living with the fallout for decades if this nightmare continues.

@SenFettermanPA You caved.

@ByronDonalds Do your job!

@SpeakerJohnson Gaslighter!

@SecDuffy Hey Sean. I know you’re no scholar but you do know that the 3 branches are solely controlled by the Rs, right???

💯💯💯

When two old guys mean the world to each other.. 🥺

Nothing like a President dropping the F-bomb at a press conference that is nationally televised in the middle of the day. Pathetic. We are a joke.

BREAKING: Oklahoma State Superintendent @RyanWalters_ just announced that every single high school in the state will now be required to have a Turning Point USA chapter. Ask yourself: how would the right react if a Democratic superintendent forced every school to host a Black Lives Matter club, a Sunrise Movement chapter, an ANTIFA club, or a Planned Parenthood student group? They would call it indoctrination — and they’d be right. This is deeply concerning. Public schools should not be turned into mandatory recruitment hubs for any political organization.

Bye bye, First Amendment. Hello, fascism.
