His vocabulary is so limited it’s like reading a transcript of Koko, the gorilla who knew sign language, if Koko were a white nationalist
I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

The U.S. President discussed the war in Iran, press freedom, AI, and more ahead of the midterm elections.

This got me to finally read the entire New Yorker article on the Tates and... yeah. I don't see how what they're doing is any different than what everyone has accused Jeffrey Epstein of doing. Except they're *more public* about admitting to what they're doing AND getting young men to join in.
However horrible you think the Tate brothers are, I promise, it's worse than that. It's insane that Dems aren't making a bigger deal of the GOP embracing these grotesque monsters.
The Tate Brothers' Should Be The Trumps' Second Epstein Scandal
The truth is much worse than most people realize, and they knew a lot of it.

Oh man what could this mean for the peace talks tomorrow
🚨BREAKING: Iran’s state-run IRNA has published a photo claiming to show a tanker engulfed in flames near Khasab, Oman.
The reported location closely matches an earlier UKMTO advisory after a tanker reported hearing an explosion nearby.

I don't always realize how much being a parent has affected my worldview but every once in a while I read a sentence like "he fractured his two-year-old daughter's collarbone" and the rage hits like a truck.
