As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

Rest well Bluesky 🤍 Adults say,"we owe it to the young people, I don’t want your hope. I don’t want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel. I want you to act as you would in a crisis. I want you to act as if the house is on fire, because it is.” Greta Thunberg,

My God. May they never know peace for what they've done to countless families.

BREAKING: we are NOT accepting media reports as proof that the $1.8B slush fund & "settlements" associated with it are dead That's why we @democracydefendersfund.org have just filed a new lawsuit to make sure this ENDS --on behalf of former J6 prosecutors with Platkin LLP, WLG & Heaphy Smith

Wow. That got awkward fast, even considering the participants.

Why is Donald Trump protecting people who commit fraud? DISGUSTING!

>> @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom cut red tape to approve over 500 environmental projects more quickly, affordably, and safely!

Kobayashi Maru.

US tech giant says fundraising drive includes deal to sell $10bn of stock to Berkshire Hathaway.

If you want data centers then this is the way to do it. Again China takes the lead. 🧪 newatlas.com/energy/china...

The number injured in Kyiv has just bee increased again, from 51 to 58. 40 have been admitted to hospital, including two children. This is a video from the Fire Service in the capital showing the main destruction sites in Russia's murderous morning attack.

Day 1560 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and this morning Russia's predicted massive attack has arrived. Multiple civilians have been murdered and the number is growing. As I always say, this happens because we in the west have been too weak to stop it. Here's the daily🧵

If only the U.S. government employed experts in diplomacy and foreign relations, maybe in a department dedicated to foreign affairs…

🚩 Court records show Spencer Pratt was charged with hit-and-run in 2003. People make mistakes, but for someone who’s an asshole and obsessed over holding everyone else accountable, Pratt is remarkably quiet about his own record.

NEWS: Russia launched a massive overnight attack on Kyiv, striking a 24-story apartment building and causing a partial collapse with people potentially trapped under rubble. At least four people were injured as fires broke out across multiple districts, including near a kindergarten. 1/

We live in a country where some of the best journalists are late night comedians & editorial cartoonists. THANK YOU Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Jimmy Fallon, Tom Tomorrow, Mike Luckovich & Michael de Adder ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! #LAUGH_DO_NOT_DESPAIR ✊

What did convicted election denier Tina Peters do minutes after being released from prison? She appeared on Steve Bannon’s podcast to peddle the same conspiracies about voting and the 2020 election being stolen from Trump that led to her conviction. Here’s what she said:

With each passing day, I'm liking Jon Ossoff more and more. I think he may be the real deal.

Autopsies show how hard doctors tried to save babies who died after not getting a vitamin K shot: tubes inserted in their airways, blood transfusions. They’re excruciating to read because they underscore how preventable these deaths could have been.

Trump’s Reflecting Pool repairs won’t fix a major underlying problem that could ruin the new blue look: report

Trump endorses Tom Kean, who has not been seen publicly since March 5th. “HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” Maybe he meant he will never show up?

Trump can repeatedly bomb the hell out of Iran and they still won’t back down, while Republicans in Congress spend every day terrified that they might draw a mean Truth Social post if they step out of line from Dear Leader’s whims and wishes.

Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished. (Published Jan. 2026)

WATCH — @joshrogin.bsky.social : “Trump is getting confronted by reality, which contradicts the made up story about the war in his head. In the end, reality is winning out. That's why we're in the quagmire... he's not getting what he wants, so he's throwing a tantrum.” (From @acyn.bsky.social )

BREAKING UPDATE: The Kevin O’Leary-backed Stratos data center project in Utah has hit big obstacles: the state agency that controls the project has demanded its footprint be reduced by 75% and has imposed other major conditions. The power of the people to fight back: youtu.be/nWTrmnkHVCc?...

The fund was actually put on hold by a judge. Republicans in Congress have yet to get ANY kind of guarantee Trump will drop the fund permanently. www.reuters.com/world/trumps...

The Trump administration is dismantling a $368 million deep-ocean monitoring network 900+ sensors tracking climate currents, fishery health, ocean carbon absorption, and coastal flooding along the East Coast. Ships go out in June to start pulling it up. Congress funded it twice after Trump

I guess the sad, pathetic orange adjudicated digital rapist who owes E. Jean Carroll $88.3 million is still mad at me about that. Sad!

She wasn't asking about whether the credit card CEOs and their companies are okay. She was asking about the people with delinquencies. Sheesh.

WATCH: "Over 60% of 🇺🇸 is critical of 🇮🇱, will we ALL be banned from 🇬🇧? Can they put out a list of things you're not allowed to say about Israel?” Cenk talks to Piers about getting banned with Hasan

How can any member of Congress vote for a big budget increase for the Trump War Machine Pentagon when they go to absurd extremes to hide everything they are doing from the American people?

I didn’t know truth social had an autopen feature.

Thousands of residents fled to metro stations for shelter as air raid sirens blared across the city. Zelenskyy had warned Monday night that a massive strike was coming. He was right. 2/2

Here's what you need to know about Trump's "Freedom 250" grift — and how you are paying for it. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-truth-about-trumps-birthday-bash

When you are too racist and misogynistic to be subtle about it. Because that's what the boss likes.

White House fortifications are growing in tandem with the threat of political violence—and the adjustments are deepening the divide between the president and the public, @mviser.bsky.social reports:

BREAKING NEWS | Trump to drop his $1.8B ‘slush fund’ after outrage over paying his allies: report

Pride Month starts today, and I’m thinking about the generations of LGBTQ+ leaders, activists, and everyday Americans who sacrificed to push our country forward. This month, we celebrate their courage and make clear we’re not going to let anyone turn the clock back.

Private prison company GEO Group, which runs Delaney Hall, gave $1M+ to Trump's Super PAC in 2024 and his inauguration in 2025. Not only has Trump since rewarded GEO with billions in ICE contracts, but a top former GEO executive has now been named acting ICE director. Cashing in on cruelty.

They're not even hiding it anymore. Are you awake yet? www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u...

Proof that consistency and patience is far more effective in creating habits in your dog than fear and dominance. Such a beautiful expression of devotion 💛

In a blistering opinion, Judge Wilkins wrote that the administration provided no factual basis for claims that transgender service members lack the honesty, humility, or integrity required for military service, noting that many of the plaintiffs have served honorably for years and... 2/3

🚨 BREAKING: A federal appeals court has ruled, in a 2-1 decision, that the Trump-Hegseth transgender military ban is likely unconstitutional, finding that the policy appears to be driven by a “bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group” and is “both arbitrary and based upon animus.” 1/3

The only reason there is a war with Iran is because Trump needed to create something to distract from the Epstein Files, the Epstein Files which are inundated with Trump!!! 🤬

National gas average up 45% since Trump's Iran War started. Now, the Strait of Hormuz is closed again, indefinitely. Trump got America in this mess and he cannot get us out of it.
