US President Donald Trump said his tentative ceasefire with Iran is over. “For me, I think it’s over,” he said at NATO's annual summit. “As far as I’m concerned it’s just a waste of time.” Read more: bloom.bg/3T4FsdS 📷: Saul Loeb/AFP

Days 8 & 9: Transition from heatwave of interior of Spain coastal to cooler climate on the Bay of Biscay coastline, known as “Camino Norte”. Spent a day in Gijón, Spain , a beautiful coastal town, which is one of the most exceptional places I believe I’ve ever traveled to.
Days 3-7 on CAMINO FRANCÉS, in the Navarre region of Northern Spain Pamplona origins back to 75 B.C., was highlight of the week. In the 1920’s, Pamplona was brought to the attention of the world by Ernest Hemingway’s first novel, The Sun Also Rises, where he also wrote about “running of the bulls”🐂

Coffee ☕️ and Surf’s Up 🏄♀️ on a Friday morning in Biarritz, France 🌊
Good morning and happy Thursday to everyone. Fat Satan managed to get defeated by Iran, algae, the Prime Minister of Italy, blue paint, and the clasp on the Medal of Honor all in the same week. It boggles the mind that 77 million people voted for this dipshit.

In my latest Substack essay, I revisit the time I spent working as part of President Barack Obama’s team and what it was that made him such a fantastic leader: michaelmcfaul.substack.com/p/why-obama-...

A trip to Chicago last week left me feeling nostalgic but also inspired to do more about the future.

Trump is clearly lying in this encounter as he provides his own motive for the lie.
Lose a war, get a FREE 747 from an Arab Country. Sounds like a participation prize ?

Texas is still red, but running a campaign on James Talarico shares a bank account with his mom, is maybe a vegan, is maybe a little bit gay but also has a hot Latina girlfriend, isn’t really a winning message.
Excellent! THIS is what I keep saying James Talarico should be talking about--the massive waste of taxpayer dollars and judicial resources on Paxton's culture war and political targeting! "Paxton’s trollsuits almost always detonate on impact with a real court. But that doesn’t make him harmless."
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo ago"Paxton is a legal vanguard for the MAGA movement. Because he’s utterly shameless & willing to breach every legal & ethical rule, he effectively clears the way, normalizing prosecutorial abuses. The legal theories & practices that he road tests wind up in the GOP mainstream." — @lizdye.bsky.social
This is not a Trump victory. It’s a surrender. Imagine if Obama had made this deal.
He signed an unconditional surrender at Versailles? Come the fuck on.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. It does not have to be like this.

Trump’s comments on Iran at the G7 summit were “desperate rationalizations from a man who cannot face facts and admit defeat,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily.
Trump Does Not Understand What He’s Saying About the Middle East
The president’s comments at the G7 summit revealed that he doesn’t understand the war he started—or the words that come out of his own mouth.
