After one of the most meteoric rises in the history of French politics, Jordan Bardella, the 31-year-old top ally of Marine Le Pen, is fighting for his political life after allegations he made antisemitic comments as a teenager in 2013. u.afp.com/S9DX

Now everyone finally know that the Premier League rise was all state-financed and not real. A giant money laundering machine to buy political influence. The landing back to earth will be painful but necessary.

BREAKING: Yemen's Houthis appear to have struck the Abqaiq oil processing facility in eastern Saudi Arabia, the largest crude stabilization plant in the world, handling around 5 to 7% of global oil supply. EUMETSAT Meteosat imagery shows a black smoke plume roughly 90 km long trailing from the site for at least seven hours, from 06:45 UTC until the satellite lost light at sunset. Abqaiq processes the crude from Ghawar, the world's largest oilfield, and feeds the export terminals at Ras Tanura and Juaymah.

Video shows Kimberly Guilfoyle, US ambassador to Greece and former fiancee of Trump Jr. meeting privately with the leaders of Romania's Social Democratic Party on March 31st, in a Bucharest hotel. Just 6 Days later, the Social Democrats allied with the pro-Russian extremists from AUR and filled the motion that collapsed the Romanian government led by PM Bolojan, which strongly opposed purchasing US gas at above market prices. In a WSJ article yesterday, sources present at a meeting between a Greek minister and Guilfoyle stated she bragged about having collapsed the RO government for its refusal to buy US gas, warning the US can do the same in Greece.

Ted Cruz, Greg Abbot, and Ken Paxton have all made statements trying to get Hasan Piker's speech cancelled this upcoming week. But here's a Nazi rally with police protection.

Hey Brandon, any thoughts on your father-in-law @DineshDSouza who is an immigrant from India? Should he be denaturalized because he is a convicted felon? Does his daughter, your wife, meet the definition of an anchor baby? So many questions.

MORE AMERICAN SERVICE MEMBERS HAVE DIED IN THE MIDDLE EAST DURING THE ONGOING IRAN WAR THAN THE PENTAGON HAS DISCLOSED PUBLICLY, ACCORDING TO SIX U.S. OFFICIALS FAMILIAR WITH THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT’S INTERNAL CASUALTY ACCOUNTING DATA.

People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true. I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin. Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions. Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25. Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha. So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years. PSA: don't come in my comments arguing about the results if you haven't read the full article, because ignorance is a choice. Full article is up now on my Substack (link in bio) and it's free.

Incredible journalism. 60 Minutes has a convicted felon go undercover to talk to “pardon brokers,” people who will try to get you a pardon from Trump if you pay them. This administration’s corruption has created entire new job categories.

In a hidden-camera operation, pardon brokers Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl said that for $300,000, they could help a felon get a pardon from the president. They said their services included working with influencers to advocate for his case. cbsn.ws/3VdugN7

It’s amazing that @JDVance, who is married to an Indian, @VivekGRamaswamy, @Kash_Patel, and @HarmeetKDhillon have remained completely silent about the racism directed towards University of Texas Indian-American students by their own party. They have zero courage or conviction.

The Talarico campaign is not fucking around

$open so sad for those people gloating one year ago when this stock was at ten… and now crying because they lost it all.

The disastrous trumpalooza will be devastating for republican’s midterm hopes

The FCC threatening Jimmy Kimmel’s show to keep him from airing his interview with James Talarico is exactly why people call this administration fascist.

BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel announces his interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico will NOT air on ABC tomorrow, saying Trump’s FCC has threatened him, his show, ABC, its affiliates, and local stations over “simple traditional editorial decisions” and guest bookings. Kimmel says the full interview will instead be posted to YouTube: “In the America we live in right now, that is the best that we can do until November.”

“We have no centre-forwards.” There were some worried voices at Barcelona about a month ago. Robert Lewandowski had left, Ferran Torres was being sold to PSG and Atletico Madrid were ruling out a Julian Alvarez exit. The answer to those anxieties? Raphinha. Hansi Flick has made him a No 9 — and his Champions League double took him to eight goals in five matches. 📝 @Laia_Cervello 🔗 nyti.ms/4xcArhL

$5k to everyone?! The GOP is desperate and they promise things that would either 1. Be very damaging to our economy and raise inflation and 2. Impossible to execute. It’s really shameful and I would love to hear Bessent’s defense of this proposal…
