Politicians are melting down, peace might be breaking out, and even Discord’s IDs aren’t safe. Welcome to Thursday.

In partnership with

Hi !

Today in Summary of the Internet:

Today’s internet has everything: a governor candidate rage-quitting an interview, a surprise Middle East ceasefire, Spain banning weapons, and a viral dad proving Batman is forever. It’s chaos—but postable chaos.

👀 Curated by humans. Boosted by bots. Delivered with flavor.

✅  Top 3 Must-Post Trends

1. Katie Porter’s Viral Interview Meltdown

What Happened: California gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter nearly walked out of a CBS interview after being asked how she’d appeal to Trump voters—then made it worse by snapping, “How would I need them to win, ma’am?” The clip hit 2M+ views, with critics calling it “a campaign disaster” and resurfacing her 2021 video yelling at a staffer: “Get out of my f**ing shot!”*

Why It’s Hot:
A perfect blend of cringe and catharsis. Everyone’s had an “interview gone wrong” moment—Porter just did hers on national TV. Even her own party’s strategists are facepalming.

Post Ideas:

  • TikTok reaction: “POV: You realize mid-interview you’re the villain.”

  • IG carousel: “5 Signs You’re Not Ready for Leadership (ft. Katie Porter).”

  • X thread: Communication lessons from the meltdown.

CTA: “Ever wanted to walk out mid-interview? Drop a 🤯 in the comments.”

2. Israel–Hamas Ceasefire Breakthrough

What Happened: President Trump announced a “first-phase” peace deal between Israel and Hamas—the first ceasefire progress in two years. It includes hostage releases and partial troop withdrawals. The deal was reportedly handed to Trump on a note mid-event by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Why It’s Hot:
It’s a historic (and wildly unexpected) diplomatic win. After two years of war and 67,000+ casualties, this could shift Middle East politics—and global markets.

Post Ideas:

  • TikTok explainer: “The Middle East peace deal everyone’s talking about, explained in 60 seconds.”

  • IG Story: “Hostages home. Ceasefire begins. What happens next?”

  • X thread: Timeline of how we got here.

CTA: “Do you think this will actually hold? 🕊️”

3. Spain Passes Total Arms Embargo on Israel

What Happened: Spain’s parliament voted 178–169 to ban all arms exports to Israel—one of Europe’s strongest reactions to the Gaza war. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s decree also bans ships and planes carrying weapons through Spanish ports and airspace.

Why It’s Hot:
It’s bold, controversial, and guaranteed to dominate global debate. Spanish leaders are calling Israel’s actions “indiscriminate attacks,” while allies are torn on whether to follow suit.

Post Ideas:

  • TikTok debate: “Spain just banned all weapons to Israel—should others follow?”

  • IG infographic: “What an arms embargo actually means.”

  • X poll: “Should more EU countries join Spain?”

CTA: “Do you think this sets a new precedent for Europe? 🤔”
