WHEN YOU NEED TO CENSOR FOREIGN MEDIA TO KEEP YOUR POPULATION FROM REBELLING, YOU’RE NOT THE GOOD GUYS: The Guardian says that further censorship of U.S. social media companies is needed to control dissent in Europe. The U.S. govt needs to make it clear: targeting Americans with censorship laws is not an available solution to Europe’s domestic problems.

TRUMP STORMS OUT OF MEET THE PRESS INTERVIEW:
The exchange started to unravel when the topic of election integrity came up. Trump made clear that he views the media’s handling of these stories as part of a larger systemic problem, one that the press has deliberately chosen to ignore. He told Welker that her network actively works against him and that he had the receipts to back it up.
“You play right into their hands with this stuff,” Trump said. “You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they’re rigged. Do you know that I won an election in a landslide and I got 94% bad press.”
Welker tried to redirect the conversation toward acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, but Trump wasn’t having it. Every time she jumped in, he pushed through it. He insisted the evidence of problems with election integrity runs deep: “You have more evidence, there’s more evidence than ever presented.”
“Your elections in this country — we’re like a third world country,” he said. “Your elections are crooked and you’re crooked, and Meet the Press is crooked.”
He didn’t stop there. “And so is ABC and CBS and CNN,” Trump continued. “You’re a one-sided crooked network.”

The campaign of LA Mayor Karen Bass is now directing its attacks against Nithya Raman as her presumed opponent in the general election.

The significance to outside observers of Spencer Pratt vs Karen Bass was not as a political race per se, but a diagnostic. A kind of recon by force they could watch from afar.
If you were looking to invest in LA, or in California the fate of Pratt was likely to predict your own.…

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS: David Lammy told JD Vance ‘you’re wrong’ after Henry Nowak case intervention.
David Lammy has told JD Vance he was wrong to link Henry Nowak’s murder to immigration and warned him the intervention on social media was “not helpful”.
The Deputy Prime Minister said he challenged the US vice-president in a “robust” phone call on Saturday after Mr Vance appeared to blame the killing on a “mass invasion” of people into Europe.
The 18-year-old student was handcuffed by police who ignored his pleas that he had been stabbed as he lay dying after his British-born killer, Vickrum Digwa, claimed to have been the victim of a racist attack.
Sir Keir Starmer’s deputy, who shares an unlikely friendship with Mr Vance despite their different political backgrounds, said the two had disagreed about the details surrounding the murder.
Mr Lammy, who is also Justice Secretary, told Sky’s Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips: “I spoke to the vice-president yesterday and I wanted to emphasise a number of things.
“The first is that our democratic process is working well. This young man has been convicted. There is an investigation into the police by the independent police complaints authority.
“There is an investigation into Hampshire Police by the inspectorate. The AG (Attorney General) is looking at the sentencing in relation to this. The national police chiefs are looking at the guidance in relation to this.”
He added: “The second thing was I disagree with him – this has got nothing to do with mass migration.
“This young man (Digwa) was a Brit. Let’s be… clear about that, and I said, ‘Look, Mr vice-president, you’re wrong about this’, and it’s also the case that actually murder is coming down in the United Kingdom.
“So, we had an agreeable conversation, but we disagree.”

21st CENTURY RELATIONSHIPS: HelloFresh Crosses Line With Repulsive Pride Month Ad. It’s Sickening.
Meal-kit delivery giant HelloFresh is facing backlash after publishing a Pride Month advertisement that many critics described as vulgar and unnecessarily sexual.
The company, which delivers pre-portioned ingredients, recipes, and cooking instructions directly to customers, posted the ad on social media Thursday as part of its Pride Month marketing campaign.
“We know that eating isn’t always a top priority this month,” the company wrote. “We respect that. But for those of you who are … prepping … we have an extensive lineup of high-fiber recipes available. Happy Pride.”
The post is a reference to anal sex and preparation for sexual activity. The company further amplified the “joke” by using a suggestive promotional code from a commenter. “Use code BOTTOMSUP for a Pride Month discount,” the company wrote.
Exit quote: “The advertisement drew sharp criticism on X, where users questioned why a food company was making explicit sexual jokes as part of its Pride Month promotion.”
Ready for one of the most disturbing marketing campaigns you’ve ever seen? @HelloFresh wants you to know that they have food for you to prepare your colon for receiving anal sex during Pride Month. Yes, this is real. No sane person should use this insane company. pic.twitter.com/R0Cy8JIOAC
