Trump's $4 billion Presidential windfall is unprecedented in scale & source. Obama's wealth grew from royalties from books written before office, and Bush's largely came from a sports‑team stake from over a decade prior. Trump's new billions are from deals made in office.

This goes out to everyone in the US, but especially looking at our politicians

An agent from HSI—the criminal investigation arm of ICE—shot and killed a young man in May while responding to a local 911 call as part of Trump’s ‘Memphis Safe Task Force.’ The call had nothing to do with immigration. Jonah Neal. Say his name.

Said in a speech less than two weeks after the U.S. double-tap strike that killed 168 at an elementary school, mostly little girls under age 12. And Lindsey punctuated it with a snickering laugh. Not only will I not take the high road with him, I am suspicious of anyone who does.

Honest-to-god Nazi shit

There’s no difference between men marching in white masks and men marching in white hoods. None.

Yeah that's what it felt like

What a show, what a time to be alive.

Welcome to the new InfoWars.

Your reminder that Joshua Chamberlain thought it was a moral imperative to fight the Confederacy but he didn't have any background as an Army officer, so he was like, "Hmm, I should study Casey's Infantry Tactics and Duparcq's Elements of Military Art and History", and that's how he beat Longstreet.

Happy “liberal arts professor helps save the Union” day to all who celebrate

146 Venezuelans deported from the US were killed in the earthquakes that struck Venezuela just hours after their arrival.

Kavanaugh says that Constitution is an "enduring document" and that new exceptions to birthright citizenship can be added for "modern situations that were unknown or unanticipated by the Constitution’s Framers"

Johnson: If we lose the midterms, these Democrats will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you.

In a truly bizarre moment, even by his standards, Trump declared Iran’s IRGC leaders “not radicalized, and they’re, you know, looking to help their country.” www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Hell of a Freudian slip. I *assume* he was thinking of the Baader-Meinhof Gang, a far-left terrorist group. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a legendary and rightly celebrated anti-Nazi theologian & dissident.

At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

This is just straightforward white nationalist great replacement rhetoric, the kind of thing that would have been confined to neo-Nazi forums a decade ago. Multiple mass shooters in recent years believed exactly this.

Iranian enrichment

No matter what you or I might think about the editing at the NYT these days, or how much Trump pretends he doesn't care, he *does* care a lot about what the Times says. So I'm really glad they are saying this. 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/o...

Grand juror: "Are you actually presenting any new actual facts …?" Mecklenburg: "Are you going to be able to listen with an open mind?" Grand juror: "I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of shit."

BREAKING: in May 2026, *every single one* of the 599 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,665 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

“According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (6), food prices in the U.S. have increased 33.3% since the beginning of 2020, while housing costs are up 32.5% (7). Energy prices, meanwhile, have surged 48% (8) over that period.” Fuck the economy gaslighters claiming we just dont understand gdp

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕🇺🇸 (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

This is depressing and shameful but I want to highlight @raskin.house.gov's dissenting vote in Committee. He gets it, and I'm glad he put in the time to fully assess this bill and put this on the record. His full dissent is here, at the bottom: www.congress.gov/committee-re...

The Nov-Apr 2025-26 was the warmest Nov-Apr on record (since 1895-96). A very large portion of the western U.S. had their single warmest Nov-Apr compared to all other Nov-Apr periods. 🔥🔥🔥

"Centrist legalism becomes the most effective defense the Roberts Court has. More effective, by a mile, than anything on offer by conservatives on X." Great stuff @beaubaumann.bsky.social bbaumann.substack.com/p/its-a-real...

Today, the Court erected a new standard: Prove the green segment in the below is not part of the yellow circle

The next reconstruction: - Expand the House to 700 Seats - Use MMP to create a multi-party system with PR - Use RCV for US Senate elections - End the filibuster + add DC - Limit the power of the Supreme Court - Expand the court to 13 Justices - Term limits and ethics rules for the court

This is not an exaggeration. Alex Jones is allegedly bankrupt but has an infinite well of dark money to pay lawyers, sell pills, and harangue judges and the parents of dead kids. This stay must be lifted so we can take over, and I hope journalists look into where he's getting and stowing his money.

The "reactionary colorblindess" of the right-wing justices has reached its logical conclusion in finding that it is racist NOT to let Louisiana—and any other state for that matter—discriminate on the basis of race in voting. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

What @elienyc.bsky.social says is the way:

A Supreme Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places the Court at odds with democracy itself. This is the legacy of Chief Justice John Roberts. I opposed his nomination back in 2005, and I stand by that.

A real photo of Kid Rock addressing service members at the Pentagon today. Nice summation of where things stand in the United States.

New: Kash Patel's FBI launched an unnecessary raid on the home of a former Capitol Police officer, based on Jan. 6 conspiracy theories from right-wing media outlet The Blaze.
