At a White Ho ceremony on Thursday honoring the Florida Panthers, the Stanley Cup champs Trump mused about the players flanking him: “Young, beautiful people. I hate them. You hate standing here with all this power behind you. But I got power, too. It’s called the US military. I don’t care.”

@podsavetheuk.crooked.com loved your interview with Rutger Bregman. Many interesting ideas about AI, morality, politics, economics but I’m so surprised to hear such a clever switched on historian refer to “ the genocide in Gaza”. The war was horrific but most historians agree it wasn’t a genocide.

I made this collage because I loved big oil’s response to the kidnapping of Maduro. What you want us to start our oil businesses again and give the money to the American people or to the president? We aren’t a charity!

Susan B Glasser on Greenland: “Welcome to 2026. Trump’s apologists may be right when they say that the martial bluster is no more than a bargaining tactic. It appears that’s what Maduro thought, too, right up until the moment Trump sent the Delta Force into his bedroom in the middle of the night.”
