“.. The development, confirmed to The Associated Press by a Pentagon official, comes amid a growing, weekslong, flu outbreak at the U.S. Air Force’s boot camp .. that has sickened nearly 300 people. @apnews.com apnews.com/article/pent...

(Reuters) - Tehran reasserted its right on Friday ​to control shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and warned Gulf states against siding with the U.S., a day after an attack on a ship near Oman highlighted the fragility ‌of a preliminary deal to end the Iran war. @reuters.com

Sad: Before Trump's big 250 rally, Fox wildly hyped the event. Then when turnout cratered, Fox went mum. As @mattgertz.bsky.social says, Fox often shields viewers from the truth about his historic unpopularity. On the pod, we unpack why his 250 gala failure matters: newrepublic.com/article/2123...

Do they?

The news is that the NYT’s headline is actually straightforward on the rather obvious point.

Here are the Utah women who O’Leary said were tools of the Chinese government, fighting his massive data center

Hey Trump: You were right. There is election fraud. And as usual it's coming from the GOP!! "Sen. Thomas Pischke (R-SD) is set to step away from his party duties as he faces two felony counts for forgery in election documents" www.mediaite.com/politics/top...

Even now the NYT still goes out of its way to launder Trumps behavior

Immigrants made America. If you hate immigrants, you hate America.

China is eating our lunch in almost everything. (no sound needed) China builds solar parks over reservoirs. This design improves the efficiency of the panels by keeping them cooler and lowers water loss from evaporation

Every time Trump threatens to attack Iran he is violating the terms of his surrender. Here's the very first graph of the MOU he signed:

Abundant solar and booming battery installations are keeping our grid going strong at night, which means power bills going down for everyone.

This is an under-reported accomplishment of Mamdani's. Before he was even elected he pulled off a trick almost no New York City mayor has done - put himself in the front of the line in Albany.

You guys, I told THE MOST EMBARRASSING STORY EVER about my wife on her new podcast because I was SURE she would cut it out. She did not. It’s damn funny though podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

The GOP is lamenting Trump’s latest own goal, after it spent two years trying to get a housing affordability bill to the finish line. It passed overwhelmingly…then Trump refused to sign it. Womp womp, no midterm talking point for them. My write-up in the link in the comments.

“They hope that they can slink away in the middle of the night without explaining to anyone what they did, why they did it, or how they proposed to clean up the mess that they’ve made... And we don’t intend to let them get away with it.” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/23/u...

Make this quack resign.

Let’s gooooooooo!!! 🚨🚨👏👏👏👏🚨🚨 🔥🔥👍👍👍👍🔥🔥

I missed that late last night, the Senate held another vote on an Iran war powers resolution -- they already passed the one that passed the House, earlier this week -- for the sole purpose of voting it down in a show to Trump that they support him. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 OMG

Yikes, catastrophically low turnout for Trump's "rally" last night kicking off the 250 festivities...

101 former judges have asked New York disciplinary authorities to investigate Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, alleging ethics violations tied to his conduct at DOJ. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

There is a pernicious and sustained effort to distort the historical record and do violence to the public’s memory.

anyway, of course the CBS "ombudsman" doesn't do anything. He's there to ensure the propaganda outlet's coverage is dutifully loyal to the president, a role that's not really necessary because Bari Weiss has no integrity

you can read that whole article and not really come away with the understanding that CBS is being converted into an agitprop mill for rich white right wingers. The closest they get is stating Weiss is injecting "political bias" in ways that might be unseemly

that's because he's not an actual watchdog, you ninnies. He's a Trump appointee to ferry messages between the administration and a loyal propaganda outlet.

The New York Times seems surprised that the guy the Trump FCC installed to make sure CBS remains friendly to the interests of right wing oligarchs doesn't actually help anybody

The reflecting pool debacle is the perfect visual metaphor for the Trump Administration - superficial approaches to complex problems leading to worse outcomes than if he had done nothing.

NEW YORK (AP) - Chief of staff to former New York City mayor Eric Adams is arrested in federal bribery probe, AP source says. @apnews.com

Really hard to overstate the earthquake of Mamdani going 3-3 tonight. Shows his popularity is transferrable in NYC. Makes people less likely to oppose him, including City Council. Some well known NY Dems are considering retirement over reelection tonight.

Tee hee 🤭

We’re really gonna regret wasting the name “Watergate,” huh
