Belittling the one Obama signed? Trump insulted President Obama in the most despicable way. “Politics stops at the water's edge" means nothing to Trump. 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/17/u...

Wow: the cover of today’s NY Post.

democrats-appropriations.house.gov/news/press-r... Half of $600M cost to come from we taxpayers.

In a post last night, Trump abruptly halted the confirmation of Jay Clayton for DNI. It seems that he wants Pulte to stay as Acting DNI as long as possible. Also Trump decided that he will not approve FISA renewal unless it includes the Save America Act. It’s all about manipulating the midterms.

“Trump made a series of statements so bizarre, even by his usual standards, that they raise the question of whether the president still understands the words that come out of his own mouth.” A must-read by Tom Nichols @radiofreetom.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Gov. Newsom says that he is under investigation by the DOJ. The investigation is a fishing expedition in search of a crime. This is another assault by the Trump administration on our democracy. Putin’s rivals end up accused of false crimes but it is not normal in the US. youtu.be/9qDFy2j9TJU

“Indeed, the United States has perhaps done worse than gaining nothing. Iran, while temporarily weakened, is now an even more powerful political actor…”—Tom Nichols @radiofreetom.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

HORRIFIC: Autistic children as young as 18 months old are being injected with human stem cells in unapproved, unproven and potentially harmful “treatments” that scientists warn are proliferating across the US under the active encouragement of RFK Jr. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Trump’s name is removed from the Kennedy Center. A crowd waited deep into the night outside the Center to see the letters come off. Around 2:30am workers draped a tarp over the letters before removing them. The AP published the story in photos. apnews.com/photo-galler...

Trump and his allies have discussed pushing lawmakers to pass a resolution aimed at voiding his first-term impeachments. It would have little legal significance, however, because the Constitution provides no procedure for undoing an impeachment. 🎁 www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

Trump and the Trump DOJ are aggressively interfering with state elections and bringing the specter of rigged elections even before the counting ended. We are looking at a difficult November. 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/u...

FBI agents raided the Cleveland office of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative—a group that supports voter registration efforts—and spent hours questioning staff. The agents seized documents and files. It’s one of many voter intimidation efforts by the Trump administration. apnews.com/article/fbi-...

NEW EPISODE: Donald Trump is waging a three front war on voting: restricting voter registration through proof-of-citizenship laws, controlling who gets to use mail-in voting via the U.S. Postal Service and laying the groundwork for another "stop the count" campaign. youtu.be/b28A7nduT8c?...

“Clayton told CNBC that the country was ‘doing an absolutely terrible job’ on issues of election integrity, ‘and the American people are right to question it.’” That’s why Clayton got the nomination. Trump wants an election denier to help him undermine midterms. 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/u...

YouTube version of the ADA’s CEO “apology”. Good comments: “This felt more like a non-apology than a real apology. They expressed regret for the pain caused, but never clearly acknowledged what they did wrong or took responsibility for it.” youtu.be/W7K2j3Rs-Qg
