I can't believe I have to defend Netanyahu, but it's always antisemitic to portray a Jew as a Nazi.
Is he is a fascist who enables terrorist sympathizers? Yup. Is he driving his country into endless war for his own personal gain? Also yes. But Nazism is about annihilating Jews. He cannot be a Nazi.

"I know what this AI video needs, shirtless Benjamin Netanyahu" was apparently a real thought that went through someone's brain.

This man is barely even a formal government employee, let alone elected or Senate-confirmed. A total failure of the Constitutional order, just broadcast & normalized by every major media outlet.
Elon Musk is now presiding over the cabinet meeting. They're not beating the co-president allegations. (And co-president might be putting it charitably for Trump.)

This is fucking incredible.
![REYES: [The order] calls an entire category of people dishonest, dishonorable, undisciplined, immodest, who lack integrity, people who have taken an oath to defend this country, people who have been under fire, people who have received medals for taking fire for this country. I want to know from the government whether that language expresses 'animus.' Does that express animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: Not in any constitutional- REYES: In a commonsense way. This is a policy from the President of the United States affecting thousands of people ... to call an entire group of people, lying dishonest people who are undisciplined, immodest and have no integrity. How is that anything other than showing animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: I don't have an answer for you. REYES: You do have an answer, you just don't want to give it... People can make solid arguments as to why some or even most transgender people shouldn't be in the military We're dealing with unadulterated animus. We are dealing with the president of the United States dealing with a group of people serving their country... calling them liars. (Reyes then said she changed her courtroom orders to bar people who graduated from UVA law school from appearing before her because "they're all liars and lack integrity and are undisciplined and can't possibly meet the high rigors of benign a lawyer for the government" She made the DOJ lawyer sit down on that basis, then after he did, she called him back up and asked whether that was a display of animus.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mmtjkssv6jeneahkgfdxuy7p/bafkreicmr3wybkn6acxmmdf4vuqnzxho2nk7kp3v7tx7vkclg2cjmwvixm@jpeg)

"...leaving the EU vulnerable to a Russian army that NATO governments warn is preparing for a larger conflict beyond Ukraine."
um, so this is bad.

The FT is reporting Trump plans to withdraw troops from the Baltic states at least, giving Russia a huge strategic win, and weakening NATO's eastern flank at a critical time.

this really makes me miss NYC Opera. A lot of smaller companies, like Heartbeat (which is mentioned here), make up some of the gap, but a city like NYC really needs a secondary company to fill out the rep the Met won't stage.
As mentioned in the article, the problem is Peter Gelb...

Why Is an Entire Age of American Opera Missing at the Met?
A concert performance of “Vanessa” freshly argued for the vitality of a work that deserves to be staged but languishes with its midcentury peers.
