Moscow is set to regain an official national pavilion at the 2026 Venice Biennale, the prestigious international contemporary art exhibition held every two years in Italy.
Even if you call out the lies it doesn't matter, because any of the institutions responsible for any sort of accountability are completely worthless, so there's no cost to lying.
It's really a reflection of how much the media and government has been captured by MAGA, you don't even have to lie well anymore.
It's really unfair to compare this to Iraq in 2003, at least then they had the decency to put some effort into their lies and deception.
Things will get even dumber

Swanning around, in Mar-a-Lago "hot girl" attire, in front of caged, head-shaved, half-naked deportees in foreign prison, many of them taken illegally or by mistake, all of them in humiliating role as props in dominance/submission ritual.
Does feel like quite some overlap between “Mamdani needs to reassure Jews” Dems and “stop whining about Platner’s Nazi tattoo” Dems

Nah, the one thing he does knows (and respects) is celebrity, especially New York celebrity... and Pelé was one of the biggest back in the Cosmos heyday.
Idit Silman: 7:28 PM · Mar 5, 2026 · Mr. President @realDonaldTrump , Your pressure regarding a pardon in the fake cases that were stitched up against Prime Minister Netanyahu is welcome. But it is important to understand who is blocking even a discussion of that request. Israel’s Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, is preventing any discussion of the pardon, while Supreme Court President Yitzhak Amit is backing her and preventing her dismissal, while also striking down laws passed by Israel’s elected legislature. Since the United States stands for democracy in Israel, it is time to impose serious personal sanctions against both of them. Thank you, Mr. President, for standing with the State of Israel and the free world. https://x.com/iditsilman/status/2029640283277734066
Israeli minister and a Netanyahu bootlicker calls on Trump to impose personal sanctions agains Israeli's Attorney General and the chief justice of the Supreme court, as they are the stumbling blocks preventing the a pardon for Netanyahu in his corruption trial.
“Iran has..shattered the illusions of Gulf citizens about their immunity from regional politics .. The human price of regional power politics was supposed to be paid by 🇸🇾ians, 🇸🇩ese, 🇱🇧ese, and 🇾🇪 is—not by them .. But 🇮🇷 has brought them firmly, and likely permanently, back into geographical reality.”
Man's never heard of Maradona?
Inter Miami visit has parallels to Juventus visit during Club World Cup when Trump spoke about possibility of bombing Iran with Weston McKennie, Igor Tudor and others watched on.
Strange times.
Rodrigo de Paul and Luis Suarez in the background as Trump talks about how the US is demolishing Iran and calling on Revolutionary Guard to lay down their arms or “face absolutely guaranteed death” before pivoting to suggest Cuba will be next.
Surprise twist: Trump gets appointed to Assembly of Experts and Expediency Council.
Trump to Rubio: "Your next one is gonna be Cuba. He's waiting but he says, 'Let's get this one finished first.' We could do them all at the same time, but bad things happen."
Markwayne Mullin faces a straightforward path to confirmation as DHS secretary
New: Tucker Carlson responds to Donald Trump, after the president says that he has "lost his way" and is "not MAGA."
"There are times I get annoyed with Trump, right now definitely included," Carlson tells @status.news, "but I’ll always love him no matter what he says about me."
"It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months."

Ah, that explains the [ahem] trial ballon yesterday about DOJ being able to prevent bar association ethics investigations.
Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)
Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...
Sometimes you learn things when you do an interview with a chief executive. And sometimes, you learn things when you do not in fact do an interview with a chief executive:
Susie Wiles is telling Trump’s advisers to come up with ideas to lower gas prices in the wake of the U.S. attack on Iran. Advisers are “getting screamed at to find some good news” on bringing down prices, one energy industry exec told us.
people got so mad the other day when I compared Bluesky to a food co-op thus proving my point but also, and this is the key thing, proving they are my people
Markwayne Mullin has to get confirmed by the Senate Homeland Security Committee, which is chaired by Rand Paul, who Markwayne Mullin recently called a “snake” & said he sympathized with Rand Paul’s neighbor who beat him up.
From the First Lady of Iraq. (Her party—the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK)—has not to my knowledge joined the recently formed coalition of 5 Iranian Kurdish parties.)
With its supreme leader killed and its war machine under relentless US pressure, Iran now stands largely alone — its longtime partners Russia and China offering nothing more than diplomatic condemnations and expressions of concern bit.ly/4b5fdcG
