John Oliver: “It does feel that the Republican Party has been getting way too comfortable with some, at best, N*zi-adjacent sh*t.” variety.com/2026/tv/news...
Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"
Trump issues a "Complete and Total Endorsement" of Netanyahu, warning Israelis that if they elect anyone else, "America will have to do this work ourselves" in Iran. He calls Bibi an "even greater Partner for Peace" for waging the war with him.
Trump is clearly freaking out as both parties have universally condemned his decision to remove Lindsey Graham’s sanctions against Russian oligarchs. He’s now trying to argue it’s about some secret plan he has to end the war in Ukraine. You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe him.
Congress passed tough sanctions on Russia to punish Putin and help end the war in Ukraine. Now the White House turns around and undoes all of that to let Russia off the hook for their illegal invasion. That isn’t maximum pressure. It’s maximum retreat.
Russia, Russia, Russia was not a hoax.
Trump signed an EO tonight
exempting Russia from new sanctions legislation that Congress passed last month. The law was designed to squeeze the financial lifelines sustaining Russia's war against Ukraine. Gift link. 👇

The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.
Russia is now exempt from the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. The US government is clearly allied with Putin against Ukraine. Vote Republican enablers out.
If it continues, Trump's pivot to support Putin w/out limits will go down in history as one of America's worst foreign policy decisions ever.
I would think people like Rubio might not want to go down in history as a supporter of this decision and might try to reverse it. But no sign of that yet.

🚨 NEWS: Trump is backing out of a scheduled deposition with BBC lawyers THIS FRIDAY, citing “matters of national importance” after weeks of radio silence. His team now wants to delay his testimony until JANUARY 2027—after discovery closes—and the BBC is asking a judge to FORCE him to testify.
Trump announces that two countries who have been in a major war have agreed to a ceasefire.
Ukraine said they had no idea what he was talking about.
Russia said they agreed to nothing.
Trump has taken a blowtorch to any credibility the US has built over two centuries.
Fox host Rachel Campos-Duffy said live on air that this weekend that Ukraine has killed 1 million Russian children during the war and she is still doing her shows with not a word from Fox about it. That’s what Fox is.
Trump just handed Putin a lifeline weeks before the midterms. Energy analysts say his Russian diesel deal won’t meaningfully lower prices. And a tanker that left Russia weeks before the announcement raises an even bigger question: How long was this in the works?
We all knew this was where we were headed the day Trump was elected. And the pro-Ukraine Republicans in Congress who claim they didn’t are either lying or stupid. bsky.app/profile/atru...
So Trump is rolling out the red carpet for Xi while China arms Iran against us, making gas deals with Putin while Russia attacks Ukraine and fights our allies, and gifting billions in giant bombs to Israel to bomb innocent people in Gaza and Lebanon.
Are we great yet? 🤷🏼
