NEWS: Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has issued a statement vowing revenge:

We‘re one executive order away from a chocolate fountain.

Donald Trump is mentally deranged. He’s a danger to the U.S. He’s a danger to the globe. He does not belong in this position of power—in control of the massive U.S. military—and he should be removed from office. This is not a joke. And his GOP enablers are responsible for abdicating their duty.

OMG 🤣🤣🤣

Right-wing conspiracy theorists are the toughest jury to convince.

That must be the missile launched by the Islamic Republic of Japan.

The stated idea of this proposal is to make it easier to close Lafayette Square when necessary while still leaving it accessible to the public most of the time. I think that’s BS as they’re also looking to permanently fence in Pennsylvania Avenue. Restricting access to the people’s house.

It's just sad at this point. (Source: apnews.com/article/iran...)

And if we had a functioning press and or a reasonable vetting system all that would have been part of the profile and known to the voters immediately. Background and education is simple information that should be immediately evident.

He attended Hotchkiss for 3 weeks Freshman year according to reports. Didn’t attend class and was dismissed citing behavioral problems.

We were sold an image of Graham Platner as s working class oyster farmer. But the reality is that he went to The Hotchkiss School in Connecticut. Hotchkiss is one of the most elite prep schools in the country. Tuition is currently $79,350 for boarding students and $67,450 for day students.

Congress has passed a sweeping housing affordability bill, and it will become law without Trump’s signature. Rather than sign it, Trump let the 10-day deadline expire after objecting that Congress had not approved a strict voter ID bill that lacks enough support to pass.

Elaine Chao is having a yard sale. She’s unloading all the classified information from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago bathroom that the Chinese weren’t interested in buying.

Good

The White House North Portico is now fully covered in tarp

Trump’s protest is pointless: the Constitution states that bills automatically become law after 10 days if the president neither signs nor vetoes them.

Agents seeking different person when they killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Mexican who had lived in US for 35 years

As early as today, the Trump admin could move to terminate TPS for El Salvador after 25 years. Without Congress acting, around 170,000 people who've been living and working legally here since 2001 might be forced to leave. The economic disruption to DC metro area could be huge.

Victims of police shootings are blamed for their own deaths. And that includes 3000+ pets a year.

Just more horrors. Cops kill another dog while searching for someone not even at the home they were at. A highly trained service dog was not a threat to police but that doesn't matter, they killed her anyway. Why do cops do this? Less paperwork then killing people? www.wsbtv.com/news/local/c...

I recall a time when the FBI—and the Department of Defense and White House—weren’t run by ignorant men perpetually stuck in the 7th grade.

Thinking about taking a trip to the Islamic Republic of Japan. I love Halal Ramen, but worry about the noise of constant Japanese calls to prayer. Donald told me that Tokyo is chockablock full of loud mosques.

Haha 😂

Bernie Is Feeling The "Bern".......

NEWS: Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Iowa Ashley Hinson says her family can barely afford groceries. Her disclosures say she’s worth up to $7M richer since taking office. And the “all my stocks are sold” claim? Also false. The receipts 👇

MAGA world is using this “illegal voter” arrest as proof of “Democrat election fraud.” Turns out she’s a donor to a Trump-endorsed MAGA candidate.

Devastating news. Bonnie Tyler has passed away at 75. That powerhouse voice gave us some of the most iconic, timeless anthems of all time like "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "Holding Out for a Hero." Rest in peace to a true music legend. 💔🕊️ www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/cul...

Four-byline alert: 🚨 “.. The older plane has been widely reported to be equipped with a system designed to blind an incoming antiaircraft missile .. It is unclear how many, if any, of those capabilities have been installed on the newer plane ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/u...

Democrat James Talarico, running for the U.S. Senate in Texas, raised $30 million in Q2, beating his own Q1 record of $27 million. His Republican opponent, Ken Paxton, raised only $9 million.

Trump “has been stalling this case for years,” and it’s “time for him to ‘do equity’ and pay the judgment,” a federal judge writes regarding E. Jean Carroll.

no endorsement has thrilled my parents more

If you only have time to read one thoughtful piece about this mess, let it be this one.

game recognize game.

Whoa!

Just googled this. This is being reported on when it happened on 7/1. I must have missed the WH condolences, and the subsequent phone call by trump to the victims spouse…CENTCOM is now partisan…

ICE murdered another person.

And the countless animal lives that will die off because trump is dismantling our wildlife reservations for big oil.

I feel like this is because Mamdani now has a food pantry to feed pets. The Trump admin is scrambling to appear human and taking its cue from an actual human.

I'd like to report: 1. Donald Trump for poisoning ducks in the Reflecting Pool. 2. Kristi Noem for shooting her dog Cricket in the face. 3. Sarah Palin for gunning down wolves from a helicopter. 4. Ted Cruz for abandoning his dog Snowflake in an empty house when he fled to Cancun.

BREAKING: In DIRECT VIOLATION of the Constitution, Donald Trump has resurrected his push for the U.S. to acquire Greenland, saying it “should be controlled by the United States,” and suggesting the U.S. could pull ALL TROOPS out of Europe if they refuse to acquiesce. Denmark is a NATO ally.

Iran has officially become Forever War 3.0, and Major Gen. Paul Eaton has a simple message for Republicans: Do your job. End this conflict NOW because Americans are fed up.

Since Trump took office, Wisconsinites are paying $3,000 more in a year for necessities while over 45,000 of them have lost healthcare. Rep Van Orden and Rep Bryan Steil have stood by and allowed this. They have to go in November.

Where will the sediment go?

As a local, I can explain! The Potomac and all local streams are running brown as they always do after upstream rains. The fountains at the long- called Malcolm X Park take their water from Rock Creek. Which empties into the river at G-Town/ Watergate.
