What does the Democratic win in the US midterms mean for Europe and the war in Ukraine? Joining @MarcoWerman on @TheWorld shortly with reflections from @olgatokariuk @ChathamHouse Tune in: theworld.org

Not enough is said about Patrick Stewart’s role as Avery Bullock, the deputy CIA chief on American Dad.

The unique perspective of Arundhati Roy today on @TheWorld re anti-Modi protests by the satirically-named Cockroach Janta Party. "The atmosphere is simultaneously hilarious and full of apprehension...a situation of a country of a billion and half people brought to its knees."

I joined @TheWorld's @MarcoWerman to discuss why leaders who cling to power at the expense of their people remain one of the world's greatest threats, and why Uganda’s struggle for freedom deserves urgent global attention.

Kindly listen to the interview here:

Extraordinary reading but no longer surprising.

If you ever doubt how magical this world is, one day you will decide to go to a World Cup watch party in Oakland that you found online to root for a country where you spent two years trying to coax English out of the mouths of Cape Verdean teenagers. 1/7

Wat to go, Ghana! What a terrific match! #worldcup #ghana

GHANA!

DRC equalizes with Portugal just as halftime hits! #WorldCup #DRC

You used to be able to stick up some rabbit ears and watch sports. Now you have to compete with this isht.

Let me get this straight.

Howard Lutnick, Trump’s Commerce Secretary, got caught lying about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Democrats grilled him about it and finally got him to agree to testify before the House Oversight Committee.

Four weeks later, Lutnick wrote a $5 million check to the super PAC that funds House Republicans, including members who sit on that committee. Then he showed up for a closed-door interview where, despite pushback from Democrats, no cameras or recordings were allowed.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history and it’s not even close.

💥The definitive, complete report on Hamas' sexual crimes has finally come out– and the Israeli government has nothing to do with it. Zero. It was again a privilege to discuss such tough issues with the top-notch @MarcoWerman & @joyhackel on @TheWorld. theworld.org/segments/2026/…

Wow, Wendy Sherman - Deputy Secretary of State in the Biden administration - admits that what happened in Gaza was "a genocide": x.com/clashreport/st…

So you now have senior officials from the very administration that armed and enabled it calling it a genocide - and probably saying so because they know they'll face zero consequences for it. Heck, she'll probably even be praised as "courageous" for admitting her administration helped kill tens of thousands of children...

I literally had to go see this for myself. Sure enough. Apple Maps has removed almost every town in Lebanon from the map while keeping every podunk town in Israel and Syria clearly marked.

Hotlines for US soldiers thinking of leaving the armed forces as "conscientious objectors" are being overwhelmed.

Almost all the calls mention the bombing of the girls' school in Iran that killed more than 100 school children.

Exclusive: Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating — even indirectly — in the war. wapo.st/4sxlWTW

US immigration officials picked up a blind Rohingya refugee last week in Buffalo, NY. Then, realizing they had no basis to deport him, they released him five miles from his home. He needed a walking stick and died trying to make his way back to his house: investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/bli…
