Mamdani plans to deliver "a major address" Friday to mark the country's 250th birthday, his office says. The speech, during which Mamdani will be "surrounded by recently-naturalized citizens," will take place hours before Trump delivers his America 250 address in South Dakota.

Just bus them in like Jan 6.

Washington is expected to announce that it will not extend the US-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement, a decision that could upend one of the world’s largest trading blocs. www.semafor.com/article/07/0...

Just hours after the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela that killed over 1,900 people, ICE attempted to deport children and families from the Dilley Trailer Prison to Venezuela. They were woken up in the middle of the night and sent to Arizona on their way to Venezuela.

I would assume just showing women that image alone would make them sterile.

If this news of a Marburg outbreak in Uganda is confirmed this will further complicate the ongoing response to the Ebola outbreak in the DRC and Uganda. www.statnews.com/2026/06/30/m...

Where is King Kong when you need him?

"How is Trump making money off his memecoin when its value collapsed 95%?" Because he made his money by charging fees--in US dollars, of course--every time it was purchased from his companies.

YIKES!!!! -- People have climbed atop the spire of the Empire State Building right now

NBC Exclusive: A White House task force has been gathering thousands of pages of documents from intelligence agencies — with plans to declassify some of them — so Trump can amplify new disinformation about past elections, three people familiar with the effort said.

7? Pikers.

NewsGuard - A new Twitter/X account appears to be an attempt by the Russian state external TV outlet RT to bypass EU sanctions and reach audiences barred from accessing its content. In just five days, the account garnered 6 million views. open.substack.com/pub/newsgua...

Still on the hunt for the answer: How many childrens hospitals, or anything like that, has Elon Musk funded and built since he is now the richest man in the world? I mean, he's an immigrant, and should be grateful for the opportunity we gave him, and want to give back. Right?

Here’s what you should know about the historic heat wave headed our way. Especially if you’re (hypothetically) having your wedding at MSG this weekend.

On Damnatio Memoriae and de-Trumpification. (Gift link) Been waiting for this one to go up. Please read and share.

He can never not talk like an abuser.

The fact that his 2 sons are standing right behind him while he is saying this is perfect

The Dem establishment and Dem centrists can wring their hands and complain about the results in Colorado. Or they can learn a lesson: Their repudiation was in large part about their perceived unwillingness to stand up firmly and unhesitatingly to Trump. So start doing so!

Suddenly I like this movie maybe

jd vance is the only person who watched the 2015 film spotlight and decided to both convert to catholicism AND get a job covering up for a paedophile

When I was 13, my grandparents gave me stock in Hershey’s candy as a bar mitzvah gift because I liked candy. I had to sell it this year when I married an FDA employee. Because, as we all know, the federal government is very concerned about financial conflicts of interest.

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 📽️
