Nearly half of the weather balloons in the lower 48 are missing because of DOGE

Breaking: E. Jean Carroll moved to the collect $5,779,783 from the bond Trump deposited in the court's registry, since that verdict reached the "end of the line" at SCOTUS. Trump's lawyers are still trying to delay, per the filing.

I am certain absolutely no money or stock was exchanged to facilitate this reversal

Looks like Trump admitted to violating the Stock Act. Again. $200 fine. (p. 1, bottom) Can't image why he hasn't learned his lesson. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ www.citizensforethics.org/wp-content/u...

Scoop: CNN's chief legal affairs correspondent Paula Reid has declined to renew her deal at CNN. I'm told Reid cited Paramount's looming takeover in convos with network brass and has expressed concerns about the changes at CBS News. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/paula-reid...

It‘s just insane to me that a sitting president has made MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS peddling fucking fairy dust with no intrinsic value beyond his stature and power AS president, and it’s not treated as the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

She was fired for writing "world is better off without (Charlie Kirk) in it" in a reply to a private Facebook post. Fired! Now she gets nearly $2 mil but won't get her job back. www.knoxnews.com/story/news/e...

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

Wow. What an asshole.

I counted 16 or 17 people on stage and 8 people watching.

The National Endowment for the Arts stage has a solo performer up there right now. He is playing an audience of one. He just urged her to follow him on Instagram. I have seen larger audiences at 8am academic panels. I feel bad for the guy.

The Trump administration has approved the use of cancer-linked pesticides diflufenican and epyrifenacil, both PFAS forever chemicals. Neither pesticide has ever been used in the United States before.

Just sayin'... :)

The fact that libs of TikTok is posting this kind of shit about literal 7 year old girls genuinely terrifies me. The right has been aggressively accelerating the eliminationist rhetoric over even just the last few weeks.

Man denied entry to all female foreigners seeks revenge

I remember when members of Congress carried around the Constitution to wave at people, instead of saying incorrectly they can pass a law to change it.

If you're not familiar with Davis, definitely a Goering or Eichmann waiting in the wings for his moment. He's always been this way. You can see the degenerate spittle-flecked insanity in this post.

WTF

This guy suggests we just not let any women visit America.

Picturing the area at JFK arrivals where women will be forced to pee on a stick.

Amazon delivered two of a recent order and is saying more duplicates are on the way. There is no way I can find to contact the company to alert them of this beyond using their stupid AI chatbot, which I refuse to do. Guess I'm keeping the free stuff.

I am stunned that the constitutional question was so close. I thought it would be 6–3 or 7–2. It is profoundly disturbing that four justices would allow either the president or Congress to rewrite the plain text of the 14th Amendment. This is obviously a good outcome, but the margin is alarming.

The Trump administration is demanding that U.S. intelligence officials turn over the names of all foreign espionage targets, including suspected spies and potential recruits, to create a master list that some fear will be misused or compromise operations www.nytimes.com/2026/06/29/u...

Kean (like virtually all GOPers) also voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill last year -- leaving "millions without access to critical mental health care & support," the National Alliance on Mental Illness said at the time. NAMI said it was "devastated" by this vote. www.instagram.com/p/DLqEKSPRq9o/

Rep. Tom Kean (R-N.J.) is back, after being gone from Congress since March 5 (!). "This is not an easy speech to give," he says. He says he received a diagnosis of depression. Says doctors recommended he stay in the hospital, then he realized how "long depression had been affecting my life."

I’m just gonna note that the current head of public health policy in the US government has decided this technology should not be researched anymore.

BREAKING: A federal judge just ordered the Trump admin to permanently abandon its efforts to suspend funding for a $16 billion rail tunnel under the Hudson River — describing those attempts as "flagrantly" illegal.

Yesterday, for Mel Brooks' 100th birthday, 7,000 fans gathered in the main square of Bologna, Italy, to sing “Happy Birthday” to him. Mel himself replied with a video message, and then the crowd watched Young Frankenstein together. ❤️ #Filmsky 📽️

Play for Germany

“There will be no gauging, which is totally illegal.”

Iran war live: Tehran denies Trump’s claims of meeting in Doha https://aje.news/e20hsv

A Japanese fan broke down crying after his country's elimination, but a group of Brazilians fans went to console him and Mexican fans made him soar. You gotta love the World Cup! ❤️🌎⚽️ Video: RÉCORD

As called on TV Trece in Paraguay:

Oh my god

An iPad inside Independence Hall tells visitors that a second floor room was used in the 1850s to hold individuals “accused of crimes of the period.” Originally, the screen read “accused fugitives of slavery.” @fallonroth.bsky.social and I discover more retelling of history by Trump’s admin. 🎁 🔗

BREAKING: More than 100 Venezuelans who were deported from the U.S. hours before the earthquakes are missing after their hotel collapsed.

Can't wait to hear his explanations

Representative Tom Kean Jr. has invited certain Republican officials to participate in a 2pm call on Tuesday in advance of his expected return to Congress this week.

still green. can confirm. more tonight on @allinwithchris.bsky.social and this weekend on @connectwithjacob.bsky.social.

Also funny: when no one's singing, it's pretty obvious this is the British national anthem, God Save The King.

Every Fox News live shot today from Trump's post-rapture-like fair on the National Mall has been hilarious. Here's a supercut:

Republicans: we want to kill millions of African children, turn the presidency into a monarchy, and salt the earth with the tears of migrant children. Democrats: hey, let's make sure tweens can't access Instagram.

The real mindfuck is thinking back to 2000 and realizing that things are so much worse now than any of the most hyperbolic, apocalyptic predictions for how bad things would get after Bush v Gore

The U.S. Supreme Court refused to take up religious healthcare workers' challenge to a pandemic-era New York policy requiring healthcare providers to make their employees get vaccinated against COVID-19, drawing a dissent from Justices Gorsuch, Thomas and Alito. www.law360.com/artic...

Sister Letty was on her way to Sunday mass when ICE detained her. Trump said he would go after the worst of the worst. But time and again, the administration is going after the best of the best—children, teachers, doctors.

So assuming a Dem ever makes it back to the White House, it seems like the Supreme Court's a great example of an agency where the President could remove people from, per Slaughter.

NEW: The U.S. military is racing to vaccinate new recruits during a growing flu outbreak. But the shots expire on Wednesday. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The Supreme Court declined to take up President Trump’s appeal of a jury verdict finding that he sexually abused and defamed writer E. Jean Carroll, leaving intact a $5 million judgment against him.

SCOTUS waiting until the last possible moment to release their birthright opinion as some kind of exercise in drama is extremely annoying. underrated reform is just to mandate a day when they release all of the opinions.
