The Senate Republican lunch is erupting as Bill Cassidy reportedly confronts Trump over Iran and Trump turns around to blame Dave McCormick for missing a vote he missed because he was literally with Trump. The GOP isn’t governing. It’s one long HR meeting for Donald Trump’s chaos. punchbowl.news

BREAKING: It got worse www.investing.com/indices/mcx

Judge blocks Trump’s executive order requiring proof of citizenship to vote. Elections are controlled by states and Congress, not the president.

Musk: Any legislation will do the opposite of its name, which is propaganda to fool the public. Also Musk: We need to pass the SAVE America Act!

🚨

This bill will automatically become law in ten days (the senate can create a pro forma session by not totally adjourning June 29 when they go on break.) And the bill has a veto-proof majority. Donald is only hurting his own party by skipping the signature photo op.

Why the delay of a month?!

Trump’s latest temper tantrum: Holding bipartisan affordability legislation hostage for his voter suppression bill. The affordability legislation passed with a veto-proof majority, so this is a pointless act of a desperate man.

The Tea Party was (1) small protests which were (2) hyped by media & (3) led to the election of radical nut jobs who (4) badly broke US politics. What we have now are (1) huge protests that were (2) dismissed by media but (3) still got a few candidates in deep blue NYC who (4) will work to fix it.

currently reading a whole bunch of petitions and editorials from black americans of the revolutionary era and it is so striking (and frankly inspiring) to see how the ink wasn't even dry on the declaration before black americans were demanding that the patriots live up to their stated ideals

After hundreds of service members got the flu from living and working in such close quarters, and at least one died, Kegsbreath is finally reinstating flu vaccination requirements for our troops. www.joemygod.com/2026/06/pent...

The Reflecting Pool was supposed to last 50-100 years. It didn't last 50 days. Now they're begging for volunteers to save a $14 million renovation from being overrun by algae before July 4. I'm sorry, but this is objectively hilarious.😆

Christ. This is death camp shit.

Two defendants who received 50 years each, Savanna Batten and Elizabeth Soto, were never accused of helping plan the demonstration here. They arrived separately, left the protest when guards asked them to, and were not accused of any act of violence talkingpointsmemo.com/news/prairie...

WATCH — @bradlander.bsky.social : “You can criticize Israel and not be antisemitic. You can be an anti-Zionist and not be antisemitic. I will stand up for Palestinian human rights and firmly against bigotry aimed at Jews. They are the same job.”

EX-TRUMP VOTER: “I’m not into politics, but I know what’s right and wrong. The way Trump is treating us poor people is bad, because Trump has never been poor… living in Trump’s 2nd term is like living in the Great Depression.”

Facebook, tired of getting children addicted to games that simulate gambling and ripping people off by allowing fake ads from people who pay billions to place them, has decided to get in on the prediction market gambling grift. Soon you'll be prompted to gamble while sharing pictures with friends.

new yorkers en masse have expressed their enthusiasm for democratic socialism. but these forty men surveyed in the waiting room of the coeur d’alene family court have a different perspective

New filing by SPLC suggests FBI opened its investigation based on a letter sent to Stephen Miller in Aug 2026 from Liberty Counsel, Moms for Liberty, TPUSA and other rw groups—complaining about their inclusion in the Hate Map. The incident report cribs from the rw activists letter repeatedly.

With his poll numbers in the toilet 🚽 The malignant narcissist-in-chief calls a housing bill “of minor importance” and demands republicans pass the bill that will help him cheat more in the midterms

To be less charitable, entitlement isn't an adequate substitute for organizing. You can spend all day fuming over the results, but that anger should be directed at the lackluster campaigns who failed to get out their votes. /thread

JUDGE: I cannot conceive of a crime that would justify the breadth of information sought. The government's interest does not outweigh plaintiffs' interest in privacy.

Russia is facing a critical jet fuel shortage that has made operating flights “economically pointless,” Azimuth Airlines said. meduza.io/en/news/2026...

there is no ideological equivalent on the left to the tea party, wanting universal healthcare is not the same as wanting a nation of sovereign citizens

I think the thing I like the most about Claire Valdez is that she not only takes bold stands in support of trans people, but that when people on the right try to use those positions to attack her, she's just like, "yes, that is correct."

sometimes i am struck by the sheer wickedness of this man

These candidates are winning with Democrats because the corporate centrist weakling approach has repeatedly failed to deliver the programs we hoped we were voting for. We wanted Mamdanis and got Schumers and Merrick Garlands and it sucks. The voters are not wrong. The party has failed us.

NEW: Federal judge Christopher Cooper orders Team Trump and Kennedy Center to file report in next month that “shall also indicate the purpose for and status of the tarp and scaffolding that Defendants have erected on the front portico of the Center”

"It makes me wonder what all else legacy political reporters are currently sitting on in the hopes of a handsome payday and the fame and recognition that curiously comes along with hoarding terrifying knowledge as personal currency in service to their brands."

Anyway, here’s a video of the reflecting pool from yesterday.

Technically, they’re Remains now.

It's easier for media to portray the election as an attack on American Jews than to delve into what NY-10 really was: The second most Jewish Congressional district in the US having a referendum between two Jewish candidates on what it means to do Jewish politics in the age of Trump and Netanyahu.

Lander on comparisons between his flank of the Democratic Party and the Tea Party: "We're joyful about what it looks like to deliver. That is very different energy than what the Tea Party brought. We want to build something, not just break something."

“A federal judge on Wednesday permanently barred President Donald Trump’s administration from implementing most of his first executive order on elections, part of which sought to require people to show documentary proof of citizenship when they register to vote.” apnews.com/article/trum...

I see people characterize the student protests against Israel as failures, and I really don’t think that’s true. They may not have toppled the U.S.-Israel alliance or ended the genocide, but they have helped usher in a generational turning point in attitudes toward Israel and Palestine

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

Good morning to everyone who helped us elect real Democratic fighters in New York! One primary at a time, we are building a better Democratic Party that will fight fascism with the courage and urgency this moment demands.

SAVE—Stop Any Voting EVERYWHERE!!!!

A federal judge has BLOCKED SNAP waivers for states that would have prevented recipients from purchasing certain items. Five states had already implemented waivers and over a dozen more had been approved but weren’t started. This is a HUGE win that no one is talking about! Thank you JUDICIAL BRANCH!

The Trump administration is trying to send @replamonica.bsky.social to prison because she dared to conduct immigration oversight. Conducting oversight is not a crime, it’s HER JOB. Standing with my friend LaMonica today as she fights against these baseless charges.

Kinda love that Trump's ultimate response to his embarrassing failures is just to put up a big tarp

Convicted Felon Donald Trump hijacks bipartisan affordable housing bill to try to extort a vote in support of the horrendous SAVE Act: youtube.com/shorts/dsc2W...

As I noted the other day, William Hogan's claim that he redacted the Broadview 6 transcripts to focus on instructions is provably false. He redacted one of the most pertinent instructions about whether walking away after a car drove into you undermined conspiracy claim.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Please hold on to this THREAD. No interviewer should get near Musk or his boosters without having these facts at the ready. Thank you @ldobsonhughes.bsky.social

"...The indictment hides how DOJ was alerted to Wagner: By far right extremists who have friends at DOJ. Indeed, they literally edit out the import of Jake Lang, who is the quintessential extremist outside agitator."

NEW: Sen. John Hickenlooper is calling on Trump to personally pay back taxpayers for the millions he spent revamping the Reflecting Pool, now a cesspool of algae + chunks of blue sealant. “This was not a result of vandalism, but your administration’s incompetence." www.huffpost.com/entry/senato...
