When Jeff Bezos (who is 100 times richer than Taylor Swift) was married, he essentially took over the city of Venice, pushed locals aside, and provided nothing lasting in return. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce personally donated over $26 million to charities to commemorate their wedding.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social shares her INSTANT reaction to her MS NOW EXCLUSIVE interview with former special counsel Jack Smith.

Jack Smith on MS NOW: "I'm very concerned of what's going to happen in the next election, absolutely."   "I think the state attorney generals have a tremendous role to play here … And I would also say that I think a thing that all of us can do is support election workers and election officials."

🧵

Hunter Biden is trolling the orange buffoon.

JACK SMITH: "James Comey, Letita James, Jerome Powell... there's no criminality there. I mean, seashells? Come on."

The most corrupt president in history and it's not close: "Trump reaped a stunning windfall in his first year back in the White House, including about $1.4 billion from his family’s cryptocurrency businesses, a new filing shows"

GET IT

Good lord people

incredible scenes as there are tens of people at Trump's state fair to watch Sean Duffy on Fox News

Trump gets ghosted by Iran in Doha while the Supreme Court hands him a defeat on birthright citizenship, his $500M ballroom turns out to be funded by a no-bid contract, and much more. Your midday update is here:

BREAKING on MS NOW: Mike Johnson's latest effort to force through the SAVE America Act to rig elections just failed. The House failed to clear a procedural vote 198-224 on the NDAA largely because the SAVE Act was attached.

It’s like these people don’t actually believe anything

Just shocking this was a 5-4 ruling. This Court is so so badly broken.

Of course it looks like a fucking Reichsadler. Why wouldn’t it 🤦‍♂️

NEW: As a right-wing schismatic group threatens to break with Rome for being too accommodating to the modern world, Pope Leo XIV used his Pallium Mass to defend diversity in the Catholic Church. “Communion within the Church is not built by clinging rigidly to one’s own position,” Leo said.

Um.

Not shocked. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/28/w...

BREAKING: Bipartisan Senate Ethics Panel has DISMISSED Ana Paulina Luna's complaint against Senator Gallego alleging sexual misconduct tied to Eric Swalwell and campaign finance violations. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

A win! The Supreme Court ruled that states can continue counting mail ballots that are postmarked by Election Day, even if they arrive afterward when state law allows it.

We’re back to the Sunday market manipulation loop, folks

You better believe we will take back the House, we will issue subpoenas, and we will continue to fight for justice. Full stop.

"Blanche does not defend redacting the names of Epstein’s associates in salacious emails. Blanche does not defend redacting the names of potential co-conspirators. Blanche does not defend withholding documents containing allegations against President Trump." emptywheel.net/2026/06/27/k...

And it's especially fine not to respect presidents who disrespect their office, their oath of office, the Constitution and laws they swore to uphold, honor, decency, morality, truth, humanity, and everything we should be striving ourselves and teaching our children to respect.

Coming from the most corrupt Administration in American history, this is an honor I'll treasure forever.

Hot take, don’t.

McGowan: Trump’s saying you're going to live in squalor with no food and no housing and no law and order. We have that for many people right now. That's why people are voting for democratic socialists, because they want government to look out for them again.

Never forget Marco should never be POTUS.

Start Packing your bags #MikeJohnson, we the people have had enough.

This is escalating One day after federal judge ordered Justice Dept to release more Epstein files, by ruling in favor of @KatiePhang legal challenge… Justice Dept Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward officially enters the case Woodward is high ranking

Nixon screaming from Hell how is this motherfucker getting away with shitting on the constitution?

“Bill Pulte has installed as his chief of staff a woman who worked on election-related issues for the Republican National Committee…Pulte’s decision is likely to further fuel concerns that he intends to focus on hunting for election fraud at the behest of Trump.” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/u...

Just the Speaker of the House pledging that if you vote Republican he will continue to make sure all the corruption and criminality happening in the Trump admin will be covered up by him and his do-nothing committee chairs. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

PAULA WHITE: Nobody has stood up like you have stood up TRUMP: *sitting* *asleep*

BREAKING: Trump has launched strikes against Iran. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Whoever called CPS on Pete Buttigieg and his family just because they’re gay parents will see depths of Hell heretofore unimaginable. These people are despicable.

Today, billionaire investor & Epstein close friend, Leon Black, appears before House Oversight for his transcribed interview. Black paid Epstein $170+ million for what Black claims were "tax, estate planning, and other related services." Black's name appears more than 8000 times in the Files.

Shout out to Pennsylvania for not going to the “Great American State Fair”! So far, Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont, Oregon, and Washington have also declined to participate.

#BradleyCooper is starring in a major #Hollywood film about #January6th directed by #SeanPenn. The officers who were beaten that day are going to have their stories told to millions of people. Justice comes in many forms. This is one of them.

9 years ago, NBC gave this woman $20 million a year to host a morning talk show and be one of the top faces of its news division.

Slumlord in Chief

BREAKING: Judge Sullivan has GRANTED Katie Phang's preliminary injunction concluding she has standing, has been harmed, and will likely succeed on the merits of her case demanding the full release of the Epstein files. Blanche has until 7/2 to respond. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I feel so owned.

"Let’s keep on reminding Americans about all the empty boasts and outright lies the administration told...Let’s keep on exposing Trump’s defeat, and the bad deal his administration is now defending. Keep on wrapping Trump’s Iran fiasco around Republicans’ necks." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Democratic voters prefer politicians who are ready, willing and able to fight. Where incumbents fail that test, voters will look to replace them with politicians who will actually fight. That's it. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
