The appointment is concerning because the role provides access to highly sensitive information and national security policy discussions.

Elias Irizarry, a January 6 insurrectionist who later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor offense related to the Capitol attack, has now been appointed to a Pentagon policy position with responsibilities tied to counterterrorism and other sensitive national security matters.

there is a truly special place in Hell for women that help fascist regimes cover up the murder of other women

The Trump administration’s reckless cuts have gutted programs like one responsible for preventing the screwworm outbreak. Trump’s incompetence is dangerous. We now have a confirmed case of this flesh-eating parasite in the U.S. op: @aaronparnas

Deadline *tomorrow* for convincing the rich noob buying your MSG seat, or wearing a brand-new Starks jersey, that the front of "Knicks" is pronounced like KNackwurst, CONnive, or KENickie

Very stable genius.

Saying that Ukraine is winning is no longer tinged with wishful thinking; it is simply acknowledging the facts on the ground. lnk.thebulwark.com/4fotHbw

Trump crashes out, throws his mic on the ground and then steps on it while storming out of the interview. His brain is decaying in real time 😭

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

Trump storms out of interview: "You're either crooked or you're stupid…Your elections are crooked. You're crooked. Meet The Press is crooked. And so is ABC, and CBS, and CNN…Alright, let's call it quits because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time."

NEW: There's no doubt after this week: SCOTUS will give states free rein to discriminate against minority voters. We thoroughly covered the SCOTUS ruling, which allowed Alabama to use congressional maps that had previously been found to discriminate against Black voters by design.

They bankrolled his private ballroom. He handed them $50 BILLION in taxpayer contracts. See the corruption exposed: 👇

We have a generational shot to win back Senator Harkin’s seat and have a voice for Iowans in Washington.

A physical metaphor for what he's doing to Democracy.

lol Trump stomped on NBC's microphone when he stormed out of his Meet the Press interview (watch for it 6 seconds into this clip)

I leave Maine politics to voters of Maine. I weigh in on DC politics, where I vote, and Calif, where I am from It looks as if LA might be spared its own reality-star candidate. Raman keeps closing gap w Pratt, as usually Dem-leaning mail votes are counted. Nearly 200k still to count. Go Raman!

The new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit means families will get up to $1,890 this year, helping with the cost of buying groceries and necessities for those who need it most. The first payment went out on Friday — giving a boost to more than 12 million Canadians.

Major mid-day update: Trump is crashing out this afternoon. He left an interview early when pressed on his lies in stunning fashion. His UFC fight may be in doubt—new lawsuit filed to block it. Israel continues strikes in Lebanon. Mass shooting in Ohio. And more. Subscribe to support my work:

NEW: On Meet the Press, Trump went ballistic when questioned about his repeated false voter fraud claims, including baseless accusations about California's current elections. He stormed out of the interview without answering why he's been unable to present evidence about alleged election fraud.

Q: "Are you saying you would consider sending some of the troops home?" Trump: "It costs us very little to keep them there. I don't consider them in danger." Thirteen Americans have been killed, and hundreds have been injured in Operation Epic Fury.

How clueless is the billionaire class and their back-pocket politicians about Americans' fury over ugly, polluting data centers in their backyards? They have their terrorism cops spying on citizen activists, while claiming that dissent is a Chinese op My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/data...

Thank you to everyone who ran with us in this morning’s 2k for 2-K @nyrr race. I didn’t beat my PR, but we did get the word out that free child care for two-year-olds is coming this fall, and applications are due soon! Parents, apply for 2-K by June 26 at myschools.nyc

When does this guy sleep? He just smoked me in our 2k for 2-K run at Fort Tryon Park.

We proudly fly the Pride Flag above the Illinois State Capitol this month.

How in the world is this guy—who was videotaped taking 50k in a CAVA bag to corruptly steer govt contracts to men he thought were businessmen but were actually FBI undercover agents—still permitted to work in government??? www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

Colorado GOP gubernatorial primary candidate Rep. Scott Bottoms has claimed without evidence that there are 50,000 Venezuelan gang members in Colorado alone (10-20x the worldwide estimate) and that rural sheriffs are preparing to deputize Special Forces veterans to fight the gang.

Victor Marx, frontrunner for the GOP nod for CO Gov, makes astonishing claims about his accomplishments. He’s either had one of the most extraordinary lives in human history or he’s a liar and a fraud. When I asked how voters should decide, he joked that his dog would bite me.

We are the ONLY country on Earth where *some* people believe that this is what a functioning President looks like.

Random story time, covering a multi-decade process that culminated in me doing something today that I'd never done before, swore I'd never do, but it turned out to be perfectly fine. When I was a kid, I was absolutely terrified of roller coasters... So naturally...

Endless corruption: “A group of lawmakers demanded answers from the White House following a ProPublica investigation revealing a top aide to the president intervened to secure a $620 million Pentagon loan to a startup linked to his eldest son.” www.propublica.org/article/dona...

As if the crowd wasn’t already poised to boo him back to Hades…

Because Trump is attending Monday’s NBA Finals Game 3 at MSG, fans are being told to expect TSA-style screening, a strict no-bag policy, & arrive two hours early As usual, Trump couldn’t care less about inconveniencing others as long as he gets the VIP treatment. Hope he gets booed into oblivion.

BREAKING: In an interview with NYT, fired '60 Minutes' correspondent Scott Pelley says, "right now, CBS News, in my view, is on fire." "There's a subtle political bias that I've never seen at '60 Minutes' before or at CBS News before. We can save this. It's possible to land this plane."

Two videos I’m waiting to see: Trump’s name coming off the Kennedy Center, and Trump getting booed into outer space tomorrow night at the Knicks game.

In consultation with my attorneys, this is my official response to Trump putting me on his enemies list:

The pressure from the people’s protests has turned the dial in🇦🇱… After weeks of mass protests that brought Tirana to a standstill, 🇦🇱authorities have reportedly moved to clear Sazan Island and dismantle a controversial €1.4 billion luxury development project linked to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.

Today, thousands of people gathered in downtown Minneapolis and turned the city purple for Prince, who would have turned 68 tomorrow.

Knicks fans are furious that Trump’s attendance is causing major disruptions ahead of Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. These are just some of the comments on a Knicks post informing fans that they will need to arrive at least two hours before the game because of his attendance.

It takes a particular type of MAGA hubris and/or MAGA lack of self-awareness for a neo-Nazi like Hegseth to show up in Normandy on the 82nd anniversary of D-day. Oh, and that bit about bringing his kids "at his own expense" is a lie. He pays coach for them while they fly in a private jet.

More than half of the publicly identified donors to Trump’s golden ballroom have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion. Corruption at its finest.
