Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

EXCLUSIVE: Judge J. Michael Luttig tells MeidasTouch that a major shift has taken place in American politics—and credits the federal judiciary for bringing about “the effective end to this presidency.” Read his full statement:

UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell: “(Trump’s) Government is desecrating its role… government is supposed to protect us, not entertain us.”

McGOVERN: Do you stand by your comment that kicking people off food assistance is somehow 'good news'? BROOKE ROLLINS: Most of those were fraudulent McGOVERN: I've talked to people who lost benefits. They were kicked off of SNAP. Hunger is getting worse in the United States.

NYT: “.. The cabinet has historically advised the president on a variety of matters, but in President Trump’s second term, it appears to have taken on a new mandate: flattery.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Rep. Angie Craig demolishes Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins: "Joe Biden is no longer the president. Mr. Trump is. Your party controls Congress. You own these numbers at this point. I'm sick of hearing you blame an administration from a year and half ago. You own every single bit of this."

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent refused to say Wednesday whether President Trump and his family would still get immunity from IRS audits after the administration abandoned plans for a $1.776 billion compensation fund that would have benefited the president's allies. https://to.pbs.org/4uT9uPZ

“To limit my War Powers.” The Constitution is not a restraining order against Congress. It’s a restraining order against presidents who think they’re a King.

This is a remarkable. You OFTEN get administration insiders leaking to the press, "we warned Trump XYZ," as when someone in Dan Caine's vicinity leaked that Caine warned Trump that Iran could go badly b4 he started war. Here, oil execs are doing that. www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

"The president revealed last month that the ballroom was actually a facade for a six-story underground fortress" DC is built on a swamp. How the hell do you go down six stories without hitting water? www.thedailybeast.com/trump-humili...

While Russia bombs apartment buildings and murders civilians daily, the US will play a hockey game in Russia to “melt the ice between us.”

Starting this month, more than 900 deep-sea ocean sensors will be pulled out of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans off the coast of Washington, Oregon, Alaska, North Carolina and Greenland. https://to.pbs.org/43M9LIi

According to Andrew Weissmann, Blanche using sleight of hand; they’re not killing the deal. Trump still gets $1.776 billion. He still gets a sweeping civil liability shield. They only removed the J6 slush fund piece. Same jackpot. Less scrutiny. Worse than before.

While Republicans strip healthcare from millions of Americans, @reptedlieu.bsky.social is asking whether the man pushing us toward war is fit to do so. Congress decides war, not an unfit and sick Trump. #FundHealthcareNotWar

Trillions for war. Zero debate. But healthcare? Childcare? Public services? Suddenly we’re broke. Trump and Republicans have made their choice — and it’s not you. 🔥 #FundHealthcareNotWar

For decades, American scientists had one job: Follow the evidence. Now Trump's budget chief wants political appointees deciding which research deserves funding. This story is much bigger than science. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Trump, sounding very tired, attacks a woman reporter for not smiling more

The president acknowledged criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as "crazy" in a phone call that involved expletives, saying he was "a little bit perturbed" that Israel's fighting with Hezbollah militants in Lebanon was holding back peace talks with Iran. https://to.pbs.org/4o4pDzk

(1/4) 🧵 LOSS: Last night, SCOTUS greenlit Alabama’s gerrymander for the midterms,which it previously found to be racially discriminatory. The majority’s reasoning was riddled with contradictions, and opened the door to weakening the last-standing pillar in the fight against discriminatory maps👇

One day we will look back on the murder of “60 Minutes” as one of the travesties of Trump’s reign. In the meantime, thank you Scott Pelley for telling the truth. Thank you, former “60 Minutes” producers, correspondents, and staff, for telling the truth. And now, we should boycott CBS.

RUBIO: The video you just showed me now he was not falling asleep LIEU: So you're lying again? You're lying to Congress, Secretary Rubio. Here's video from a French news channel mocking Trump for falling asleep at a Memorial Day ceremony.

JACOBS: You said the war is over. So who won? MARCO RUBIO: We define victory as destroying their defense base, significantly reducing missile launchers, significantly reducing their stockpile of drones. We achieved all those. I consider that victory. J: That's not what the intel community says

BESSENT: Under the Biden administration-- HASSAN: We're not talking about Biden. We're talking about this administration and its promise to lower costs, and the fact that this president says he doesn't care

BESSENT: I believe the president's remarks were taken out of context HASSAN: No. He said, 'I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody.' That's a direct quote BESSENT: Groceries are going down HASSAN: When was the last time you were in a grocery store?

BESSENT: The ballroom is a national security matter HASSAN: That's ridiculous and I think you know it

Meuser: "This president had a legitimate lawsuit w/ the IRS because they created a terrible situation by releasing his records. His plan was simply to create a fund for those who have been wronged as well by that weaponized Biden administration." (Trump's tax returns were leaked by the Trump admin.)
