Israel and Lebanon agree to ceasefire but say it will require a "complete cessation" of fire by Iran-backed Hezbollah. The two sides also agreed to create "pilot zones" in which Lebanon's military "will take exclusive control of the territory to the exclusion of all non-state actors" u.afp.com/SDXA

This Man Should Not HAVE ACCESS TO National Intelligence There... I fixed it!

Apparently...

precog come to life - and if we're not careful, it's coming for all of us. i wouldn't rely at all on the 'well that's xi's china' for comfort.

Trump is destroying $368 million of the world's most advanced ocean sensors. To blind Americans to climate change & Atlantic current collapse. In June he is sending ships to remove the sensors that took 10 yrs to build & designed to last 25 yrs. This was approved by Congress and built by scientists

History will be very kind to Pelley. Not so much to CBS News.

Delaney freedom fighters, inside & outside, are forcing the world to see what it is: a concentration camp where people are held captive due to who they are, without due process. They are catalyzing demand to close this and all camps.

Yeah, that's not what a "hostile work environment" means, but even if it were, Weiss' reign of incompetent micromanagement, mass firings and shitty hires of complete clowns would count as an even bigger one.

The absolute bottom of the journalistic barrel is people in the media chiding Scott Pelley for having the gall to confront Bilton. If you want a job licking boots, become a bootlicker. You’re not a journalist.

Somehow Trump thinks this will persuade people to vote for Ken Paxton. Maybe he’s right, but he clearly has nothing but contempt for Texas voters.

Out of all the people targeted by the dictator Trump, I fear for Somali immigrants the most. He says “they’re all crooks“ and “garbage,” from a land that’s “filthy, dirty, disgusting.” He says “they’ve destroyed our country.” This is the rhetoric of ethnic cleansing, of mass cruelty and even murder.

In the richest country in the world, it is unthinkable that we are gutting access to education for professions that are critical to the future and wellbeing of our communities. If we want America to lead, we must increase access to education in all fields. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

Must be just a coincidence.

NEW: We filed a complaint over Stephen Miller's violation of the Hatch Act when he attacked a Senate candidate in his official capacity. Miller's disturbing comments are emblematic of the Trump administration’s core vices: corruption, bigotry and election interference.

ICYMI, my latest. I interviewed the DNC staffer who was doxxed by Stephen Miller's wife after calling him an "ugly f--k." She correctly notes that the real offense here was the false and transphobic attack on Talarico:

A trivial number of people act up a bit, and police use tear gas and horses to violently drive away peaceful protesters. The credulous spoonfed major media writes that “protesters clashed.” It’s a disservice to democracy. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/n...

Public corruption, all out in the open, at a scale we’ve never ever seen. Public corruption that would end any other public figure’s career. But any outcry from legacy media about this? Nope.👇

Mental health will be defined as one of the most impactful issues of our time — and I'm committed to ensuring all Illinoisans can access the care they deserve. That's why we gathered Illinois high schoolers for a roundtable today to discuss their thoughts on our ongoing efforts.

The typical CEO compensation package rose nearly 6% in 2025 to $17.7 million, as company boards rewarded their top executives for bigger profits and higher stock prices, and gave them incentives to stick around and make even more money for shareholders in the years ahead.
