1/ Russian warbloggers have steadily become bolder in calling for Russia's leadership to be replaced to overcome the current stalemate in Ukraine. Calling the current situation "hopeless", 'Verum Regnum' calls for new leadership in Russia so that it can win the war. ⬇️

Pete Hegseth wants an additional $80 billion in taxpayer money to pay for Operation Epic Failure in Iran. Get lost.

You wanna talk about vandalism? Losing my existing health care plan July 1st & paying a 350% premium increase AND $$$ deductible going forward so Trump could give a huge tax break to billionaires feels like f’n vandalism. Get out and vote tmrw NY Democrats. Stop this insanity.

In court … a big, fat “told you so” from the conservation group that sued (unsuccessfully) to prevent Trump from his Reflecting Pool overhaul youtube.com/shorts/xt7nG...

Renewables on the rise! We need to keep pushing toward the cleaner, cheaper energy that will power our future.

Lilly posted its program for retatrutide in early June, but unlike postings for other drugs, it contains no information about the disease conditions or which patients might qualify. "Only people in the know would be able to find this," an expert said. clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT076...

When I first read this, I remembered there was something else this drugs did so to the white papers! This is not a typical GLP1 which is why it stood out in my memory. I’m not going to say this is why trump likely got it but no other GLP1 cites these claims. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Just filed my piece. This case is even worse than I thought. They're not just coming for Black people's hair. They're coming for ALL CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS passed pursuant to the Spending Clause. These fucking people must be stopped.

It's money out of politics for thee, not for me! And "me" is anyone they support. Just like everyone except St. Bernard is too old. Just like no identity politics except class, an identity, and white, all they care about. Just like we're not racist, but only white men are "electable".

Double-stack rail at the Port of Baltimore is a big deal for Maryland. This project (delivered $71 million under budget) will mean more containers every year, more jobs, $1 billion in annual economic benefits, and cleaner air for nearby communities.

NEW: The RNC sued to block some U.S. citizens living abroad from voting in Nebraska, making it the latest target in a growing list of GOP lawsuits seeking to disenfranchise overseas voters. So far, Republicans have filed similar lawsuits in Michigan, Virginia, Arizona and North Carolina.

Judge Schiltz: "... connections between the info sought ... and any possible criminal violation range from extremely weak to nonexistent ... add[ing] to the overwhelming evidence that these subpoenas were not issued to investigate, but to harass, coerce, & retaliate."

Tens of millions of voters have had their data run through the Trump administration's revamped SAVE tool. A judge just found it unlawful. n.pr/4vW4pGs

I read the letter to Miller (thank you for linking to it in the piece). It's signed by people I would definitely characterize as hateful extremists. Their inclusion in the Hate Map was entirely justified.

In a new court filing, SPLC provided evidence that the prosecution into the org came directly out of a letter that extremist groups sent to Stephen Miller complaining that they had been included in SPLC's Hate Map. emptywheel.net/2026/06/23/h...

Having refused to say through multiple requests before publication, Kush Desai now says the obesity drug was not for Trump.

They cut healthcare by nearly a trillion to pay for tax cuts for the super wealthy. Now, Americans are losing their healthcare 👇🏼🧵 www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Bc people are taking Trump's threat to sue ABC seriously (he may!!), here's his complaint about the discovery BBC is demanding in THAT lawsuit. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

First two cases at SCOTUS today invovle the Republicans preventing victims of terrorism from suing foreign governments, but allowing oil companies to sue foreign governments. Never change, Republicans

CNBC's website says "CNBC is the world leader in business news and real-time financial market coverage," which apparently means "sloppy anti-scientific conspiracy theories dredged up from the bowels of social media sites infested with Nazis."

10 years ago Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave an impromptu lesson on the basics of quantum computing. He may not have got it perfect but he sure as heck understands it a lot better than Trump ever did or does youtu.be/8iZP4PvNTN4?...

Trump on an executive order he's about to sign that he clearly has no clue about: "Quantum ... cryptography. Does anybody know what that is?"

One federal judge started a health blog, claiming that he’s biologically roughly a decade younger than he actually is, @jacqthomsen.bsky.social reports news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

Trump had a plan to make one of his vanity projects even more vulgar. He asked aides whether it would be feasible to add a giant fist to the top of the 250-foot “Arc de Trump” to mimic the way he posed for Evan Vucci’s photo taken at Butler, PA rally. The most punchable face that’s ever existed

A new book by the Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan contends that Trump ran in 2024 for one reason above all: “This was about staying out of prison.” www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

We caught the vicious terrorists who destroyed Dear Leader's Reflecting Pool. Their weapon even had an anti-Trump message clearly written on it! ~ Kash Patel

It looks like someone else was previously arrested 👉 Artem Dovlatov Which may be why they suspect this is related to VEB

‘Since the flotation, Fermi has failed to sign a major tenant, lost over $100mn of funding and suffered a share price collapse. Some of its founders and executives prospered, though, with net sales of $65mn in stock after the lock-up expired.‘ www.ft.com/content/4a79...

I’m a patriot. I love this country. I put my life on the line for this country, and there was no way I was going to sit on the sidelines with everything going on in this country right now. I believe we can create a better future for our nation, but we need to go fight for it.

Eli Lilly is reportedly giving one mysterious person special access to their new fat loss drug Retatrutide through a "compassionate use" program. The patient is reportedly an overweight individual who is “well-connected” and was 79 years old in April. www.statnews.com/2026/06/23/e...

Ukraine's security service detained eight more people accused of promoting Russia's war from inside the country. Two suspects allegedly urged Russia to hit Ukrainian cities with nuclear weapons. They face up to 10 years. 🔗 euromaidanpress.com/2026/06/23/u...

Free and fair elections in America got a big boost in court yesterday. Letting Trump scrape through Americans’ private data to purge them from the voter rolls is ILLEGAL. Democrats will keep blocking Trump's anti-democracy SAVE Act, and we won't let him rig the rules in November.

The North remembers

‼️ Russia: “Novak announced the maximum increase in oil refinery capacity in Russia.” 👉 “Scheduled maintenance at Russian oil refineries has been postponed” Too busy dealing with “unscheduled maintenance “? www.kommersant.ru/doc/8763205

Trump declared fentanyl a “weapon of mass destruction,” but then he cut federal funding for the test strips that help people avoid fatal overdoses. Oregonians can’t afford the gap between Trump’s rhetoric and his record. I’m focused on what actually works.

oh my god

Since there’s a primary in NYC today, I get multiple emails from Mamdani/NYC socialist party I looked up their stance on Russia’s war:

Don't be fooled by the fact that none of today's 5 #SCOTUS rulings were "big" ones. Four of them split the Court along its usual 6-3 ideological lines—one of which guts accountability for human rights abuses; one that makes it harder to enforce Spending Clause statutes; and one that's bad for LPRs.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 The Polish Striker strike drone with a flight range of up to 1,000 km was tested near Kyiv, - Militarnyi Striker is a Deep Strike drone with a maximum take-off weight of 140 kg. The device can carry a warhead weighing 40 or 60 kg — high-explosive or thermobaric.

Judge in Virginia schedules July 8 status conference in the federal legal challenge against Trump's $1.776 billion slush fund Justice Dept declined judge's order to put in writing its claim that the fund is not moving forward. So the case proceeds....
