Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez wins the internet this week with this striking characterisation of the wannabe dictator:

"The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire, just because they show up with a bucket of water."

(Thanks to @Paul_stilgar for this find.)

Viele Menschen in Deutschland gucken ja neidvoll auf die pünktlichen und seit Jahrzehnten vollständig elektrischen Eisenbahnen und die blitzsauberen Bahnhöfe der Schweiz.

Ich finde aber, der heimliche Star des Schweizer Transportwesens ist das Postauto, das von morgens früh bis abends spät, meist alle 30-60 Minuten auch in die wirklich abgelegenen Winkel des Landes fährt.

Trump was quick to fire Biden-era ambassadors around the world, but he has been slow to find replacements to fill the vacant positions.

He has now gone to war in The Middle East, and he still does not have ambassadors to Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Iraq, or Kuwait, nor the nearby African countries of Algeria, Libya, or Egypt.

Are Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner going to unite the all these countries with the US by flying in on a private jet while the bombs are dropping?

Good luck with that.

Former ICE Employee: "I swore an oath to protect the nation when I signed up. I followed it when I resigned a little over a week ago. I am duty bound to report the legally required training program at the ICE academy is deficient, defective, and broken. I received secretive orders to teach cadets to violate the Constitution"

Read that again.

Ordered. To violate. The Constitution.
This isn’t partisan spin. This is about the rule of law.

Repost please!! 🙏

Reporter Hannah Natanson has been writing articles about the corruption of the Trump regime. The result: Now Trump has sent the FBI to raid her home and seize all her devices, so they can identify her sources.

The insightful Liz Oyer has the story: https://youtube.com/shorts/2CkE7YXpaL4?si=sGiMkyEo3HiuNWo8

It would be useful for reporters writing about Trump's preposterous "Board of Peace" to mention one country that is definitely not a member: the United States.

Trump doesn't have the power to join it. Any international treaty requires the vote of two-thirds of the Senate.
