(Although they did recover a teriyaki beef stick from the wreckage.)]]>Mon, 06 Apr 2026 18:30:43 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Military]]><![CDATA[USA]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/04/06/euroweenie-mocks-spiking-of-military-aircraft-to-rescue-one-guy-n2426857<![CDATA[For all of the engagement farming, trolls and bots, and disinformation from legacy media outlets that spread across Twitter (or X) every day, the site is still home to some of the best, most honest, and truthful content of any media platform.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 06 Apr 2026 18:00:00 -0400<![CDATA[Grateful Calvin]]><![CDATA[European Union]]><![CDATA[Japan]]><![CDATA[Marco Rubio]]><![CDATA[Military]]><![CDATA[National Security]]><![CDATA[NATO]]>https://twitchy.com/grateful-calvin/2026/04/06/john-konrad-blisters-europe-in-a-devastating-post-about-the-realy-reason-nato-is-in-trouble-n2426838<![CDATA[Physician, heal thyself.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 06 Apr 2026 17:30:17 -0400<![CDATA[justmindy]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Fake News]]><![CDATA[Media Bias]]><![CDATA[Washington Post]]>https://twitchy.com/justmindy/2026/04/06/jeremy-barr-media-literacy-check-bio-n2426862<![CDATA[You might know Liam Conejo Ramos as the five-year-old boy pictured in the blue bunny hat in stories about his "arrest" by ICE.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 06 Apr 2026 17:00:21 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[CBS News]]><![CDATA[ICE]]><![CDATA[Illegal Alien]]><![CDATA[Illegal Immigration]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/04/06/cbs-news-five-year-old-arrested-by-ice-still-living-with-the-trauma-n2426851<![CDATA[David Bier of the Cato Institute is a major drama queen.
