How can this MFPS take money that was allocated by Congress to somewhere else & take it for himself? WTF is wrong with congress? I hope everything he builds is torn down if he ever leaves. I’d be happy to let them take the money to do that & wipe his name & shitty buildings off the planet.

McCormick: "The other thing that's happening in the economy, which is great, is that gas prices are down under $4 in PA. I think people understood that we needed to take action against Iran to protect our children. But man, those gas prices hurt working families, and they're seeing real relief."

Lindsey Graham: "I spent 4.5 hours with President Trump. Here's what I think will happen. If this deal fails, he's gonna take the Strait of Hormuz over by force. We'll charge a fee for all those who go through to pay for the operation... if Iran contests control of the strait we'll obliterate them"

“A section of Vietnam Veterans Boulevard on the border of Davidson & Sumner counties has been named the “Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway” following an omnibus bill passed by the General Assembly… covers around a 15-mile length of State Route 386…” www.tennessean.com/story/news/l...

Did DoD just admit in a court filing that it used xAI's Grok Gov Model to hit the girls' school on the first day of the Iran war? Based on some passages flagged by @rgoodlaw.bsky.social in DoD's recent filing in NAACP's case against X, it looks like it did 1/

This is what the entire area of and around the White House looks like now as crews dismantle the trashy Nazi UFC arena, destruction at every angle with a slimy algae infested green pool of water nearby filled with chunks of floating peeling blue paint. Makes me sick to my stomach.

An intelligence report that circulated this week concludes that in the face of national elections this fall, Netanyahu’s political survival is linked to showing his domestic audience that he will not withdraw troops from Lebanon and that he is intent on escalating

Scoop: U.S. intelligence agencies are warning the Trump administration that Netanyahu is likely to take steps that will undermine Trump’s Iran deal as the Israeli leader faces intense political pressure to continue waging war in Lebanon 🧵

Ok, so quick observations of the Iran deal. Background: I used to write international agreements and de-crapify science MOUs for a living. A) This appears to be a full-fledged treaty. There is language that EXPLICITLY STATES that the parties are going to be bound under a UNSC resolution.

madness

If we took control of the Epstein files away from the people featured in the Epstein files we'd actually see the Goddamned Epstein files.

We weren't allowed to know the deal, but Trump said it was the greatest deal of all time. Then it came out and it was so bad that even the Trump people had to say it was actually not the deal and there's a second secret deal that's great, but which, surprise of surprises, we aren't allowed to know

once again the Guardian is showing U.S. editors what an accurate headline looks like www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

ICYMI: After receiving a request from Peter Navarro, the Pentagon rushed to approve a deal to lend $620 million to a company linked to Donald Trump Jr. Now, lawmakers are demanding answers from the White House.

We will never forgive those involved. Ever.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz says Israeli forces will remain indefinitely in territory seized in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, signaling that even a U.S.-Iran ceasefire may not bring an end to regional tensions. #Israel #MiddleEast www.france24.com/en/middle-ea...

Also, the JCPOA was an actual painstakingly negotiated, detailed, actual international agreement, signed by 🇬🇧, 🇩🇪, 🇫🇷, 🇷🇺, & 🇨🇳alongside 🇺🇸, & 🇮🇷. We don’t even know if this is real, & this administration has exactly zero credibility to make agreements right now, even if they exist.

Can’t help but notice all the people who said Obama would desecrate the White House with Escalades and rap music on the South Lawn are absolutely loving this UFC fight on the South Lawn. Probably just a coincidence.

We’ve got the Onion Newsvan circling the cursed UFC fight outside the White House.

loser shit

UPDATE 2: All hell is already breaking loose outside White House press releases and corporate media. Apparently the supposed "deal" says Israel will cease hostilities, and Israel has *rejected* that. The sides also dispute every aspect of the nuclear component. THERE IS NO DEAL.

Most significantly, what Iran is saying doesn't match what Trump's saying. This is the tenth time in a row that's happened. Every other time, Trump waited until the markets boomed, then announced Iran lied to him and there's no deal. I see no reason for corporate media to act like this is different.

Any media outlet that reports on a deal allegedly signed today that no one has seen and no necessary signatory has admitted to signing besides Trump—who was demanding he be given the *birthday gift* of a deal in a war of choice *he started*—is committing journalistic malpractice.

This whole hoo-ha on the front lawn is because when he goes to public sporting events he gets booed out of the stadium. So true to form, he creates, at taxpayer expense mind you, an “alternative sports event” where everyone is cheering him so he can brag that the country loves him.

The first person capable of solving world hunger by himself. Instead he spent some pocket change to buy the U.S. government, immediately cut off aid to Africa, and caused millions to die of starvation and disease.

Hegseth forbids wreath laying ceremony to honor women vets.

so much of watching elon companies is looking at investors and going “do you morons hear yourselves?”

Different day and same old bullshit.

Perfectly depicted…. #TrumpLovesTheInflation

Oh, please! You are so delusional and racist. You built tacky casinos that quickly closed because they went bankrupt. You built the ugliest hotel in Vegas--and that's *really* saying something. You did *not* use all the money daddy gave you to build this country. You used to to pay Jeffrey Epstein.

THAT WAS THE POINT OF HIM SAYING IT, IDIOTS

I wonder which Trump pal got rich this time, and what they are giving him in return

BLUMENTHAL: Was the Capitol attacked on J6? TRAYNOR: The actions on January 6 were deeply troubling to watch, but I'm not going to characterize it B: You are perpetuating a lie. I don't know how you can continue as a district court judge, let alone serve on court of appeals. Frankly it's shameful.

Trump's actions, particularly those taken in Hegseth's Pentagon, look increasingly like he is preparing to abandon Taiwan as a sort of gift to Chinese President Xi. This would have been unthinkable to earlier generations of Republicans, but today, it raises no complaints. www.ft.com/content/3935...

Trump: "We have a fully negotiated deal with Iran. It only needs a signature." Trump (2 minutes later): "I think Iran wants a deal."

Longtime Epstein assistant says she set up phone calls between Epstein and Trump

This sanctimonious, seditious little shit is throwing gasoline on America

WATCH — @stephenasmith: “Trump has no business showing up at Game 3 tonight… I am dead serious. It is selfish. It is narcissistic. It is ridiculous… if they lose I’m blaming him. And I hope Republicans lose votes because of it.”

Ken Paxton's impeachment defense lawyer just endorsed James Talarico. Dan Cogdell says his former client "has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas."

This is a devastating interview. Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good. Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

NBC News: Thanks to Trump's security demands, there will be no watch party outside MSG for Knicks fans in their biggest game in decades. Just days after Mamdani expressed his support for the gatherings.
