Fire has broken out at the Arsenal plant in Saint Petersburg, Russia. 👀 The facility manufactures naval artillery pieces, missile launch systems for warships, rocket components, and space equipment.

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.

"After calling me a big smelly poo-head, running up into his bedroom and screaming into his pillow for an hour because I didn't believe that the dog ate the cake out of the fridge, I agreed to let him tell me again at a later date how a dog can eat cake out of the fridge."

Just killed a mosquito on a plane in Seattle that flew down from Fairbanks, Alaska and is on its way to Boston It was full of blood Great exercise in how disease vectors move about quickly

This was so clearly what was always going to happen, because he’s an anti-vaccine activist, and the members of Congress who voted to confirm him just absolutely did not care www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/u...

Actual quote by a guy on our local online message board, arguing that the t-shirt & slogan for the town’s annual 4th of July parade was too woke & anti-Trump: "I for one do not want to see a 4th of July parade celebrating revolutionary resistance."

With its recent rulings, the Roberts Court has now entirely perverted the purpose of the 15th Amendment, turning an outright ban on racial discrimination in voting into a right to discriminate against black voters. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I guess what I'm saying is that I don't understand why the role of stochastic terrorism (and outright political assassination) in _forcing_ Walz out of political visibility isn't part of the conversation here.

When they say “free speech”, they mean lying about your election opponent, not protesting

New World Screwworm, a parasitic fly that eats living flesh of mammals including humans, was considered eradicated in the United States in 1966. Texas discovered two infected livestock last week and declared a state of emergency. “This is likely to spread over the course of the summer.”

Abortion bans are putting women's lives in danger, and it's not by accident.   This is a situation Republicans explicitly manufactured simply because they believe they should decide what a woman does with her body, no matter the consequences.   We've got to keep fighting back.

Immigrants at Alligator Alcatraz (FL) are being denied food and water unless they sign English documents. The facility is set to close but the horror continues.

Dr Adam Hamawy, a US Army surgeon who volunteered to work in Gaza in the midst of the IDF operations there, and who then went to Congress to testify as to what he saw there, is now the Democratic nominee for NJ-12.

At around 5am, after voting all night, Senate Republicans voted to give ICE $70 BILLION more in your taxpayer dollars. No reforms or changes made.  We can still fight this.

WOW. The New Jersey AG has charged an Essex County Prosecutor’s Office sergeant for allegedly stealing a photojournalist’s camera equipment while the journo was at a hospital being treated for injuries she suffered outside Delaney Hall. The bag had an air tag and was tracked to the cop's house.

Today in "Everyone involved in that wildly illegal & unconstitutional data theft & gutting of the federal government that killed hundreds of thousands of people overseas & is also endangering the public health & safety of Americans here at home needs to go to jail for the rest of their lives"

Today, you might see a TV ad starring something that... kind of looks like me. My opponent's super PAC is using an AI deepfake of me to mislead voters. They can't win with the truth - so they're resorting to lies. It's disgusting. Minnesotans deserve better.

Rubio: I have never seen Trump fall asleep. Lieu: I’m going to show you a video that shows you just lied to congress. Here is a video of him asleep while you are talking.

Albanian PM changed the law for Ivanka tRump and Jared Kushner, and now his house is on fire. 🔥✊🏻 #ProudBlue #AlbaniaProtest #Resist #EatTheRich

Gen Mark Hertling: "[Hegseth is] substitut[ing] personal judgment for the military’s promotion system...a process specifically designed to insulate professional military advancement from politics while preserving appropriate civilian oversight." In other words, he hates women and Blacks.

Congress passed over $1 trillion in healthcare cuts last year and deliberately delayed them until after the midterms to keep voters in the dark. From June 1 through 7, organizations and advocates across the country are hosting town halls, rallies, forums, and candlelight vigils. Stand with us.

Boycott CBS. Boycott Ellison.

Taking stock of where America stands one month after the end of the voting rights era: The country is facing an escalating representation crisis, a spiraling crisis of legitimacy, and an accelerating disintegration into two incompatible Americas. This piece is free to read, no paywall:

Former German chancellor Gerhard Schröder, who Putin has repeatedly said he'd like to see as Europe's envoy to Russia, turns up in Moscow, together with the Tate brothers, Candace Owens and a number of Moscow-loyal MAGA podcasters. It's a convention of Putin's stooges.

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

“Those billionaire megadonors... they are afraid of this movement we’re building.” 💯

"It's dead for now," a senior administration source said. Scoop by @marcacaputo.bsky.social: Trump Admin Plans to Drop "Weaponization" Fund Pro tip on the law: This should not stop Judge Williams looking into whether a fraud was committed on the court.

Looking forward to this Veteran-to-Veteran conversation on June 16 in Rockmart. We’re going to have a real conversation about Veteran care, our shared experiences, and the future we owe the next generation. Would love to see y’all there. Admission is free, but please RSVP forms.gle/HRrW7NpiCzmJ...

We aren’t talking about this enough. Trump’s lawsuit against his own IRS, the one that he settled to create the $1.776 billion dollar January 6 slush fund, was over the leak of his tax returns. But they were leaked when he was in charge of the IRS.

This is what happens when you let the opinions of anti-abortion extremists into the doctor's office. They don't care that medication abortion is THE BEST standard of care for miscarriages. All they care about is controlling women's bodies, no matter the outcome.

For those of you wondering how the fight is going in Minnesota, MN state Republicans held a 10-second moment of silence for Derek Chauvin during their state endorsing convention in Duluth this past Saturday. We’ve got a long way to go, folks. Firmly buckled in.

Tonight outside of Delaney Hall, police kettled protesters and press into a tight circle. After a couple quick snatch and grab arrests, officers gave credentialed media the choice to leave. Most of us did, but a couple journalists who wanted to go were detained.

For the foreseeable future the frame for all American politics is the people vs billionaires. And we will have to drag the Democrats into understanding this

#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #ONEV1 #DV1 🍑Georgia: yes, it’s your year! The joint rally went so well for @ossoff.bsky.social (for US Senate) & @keishaforga.bsky.social (for Governor), while the Republican Senate candidates head to a runoff. 🙏Vote for the proven duo.

for those who don't understand what this is about this is an extension of the promise "If you let me abuse the country, I'll let you enjoy the abuse of the country" This is a pact with rapists - who get to smugly stomp on everything that matters to the rest of us

Still feel like if Dems wanted to fully own the midterms they'd just need to hammer Epstein links, vibe w/ the people who are out protesting over "AI" data centers making their water & power bills & air quality worse, & then link those to talk affordability, QoL, & corporate/billionaire excesses

It’s no big surprise that Trump’s DOJ is deleting all of the January 6th press releases from its website. Here’s the thing: I downloaded all of them in Feb. 2025 (that’s right, more than a year ago) suspecting that they’d do just that. And we’re working to post them all online, as are others.

This is like the 18 millionth time the Trump admin has made clear they don't give a shit about how normal people are doing. Dems should be constantly highlighting this stuff with ads. No need to present any alternative policy messaging—just pure negative reinforcement of how awful Republicans are.

105 yrs ago tonight and tomorrow, an organized and resentful White mob raged through the African-American neighborhood of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma—known as “Black Wall Street” for its wealth—burning and looting 35 city blocks, massacring up to 300 African-Americans, and leaving 10,000 homeless.

My daughter is reading 1984 for her summer class read and I told her she can watch the news and see some similar things happening in this country.

Now is the time to make your thing. Stop motion with LEGO, webcomic, walking sim game, weird Halloween costume, backyard water feature, container garden. This is your sign. Make your thing. Stop waiting. Do it.

The "ballroom" is just camouflage for what they're really building underneath:
