Charlie Kirk's allies warn Americans: Mourn him properly or else reut.rs/3JYLkkp

Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook declared in financial forms that her Atlanta property would be used as a "vacation home" and NOT her primary residence, according to documents obtained by NBC News that undercut allegations of mortgage fraud by the Trump admin. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Bill Maher calls out Ben Shapiro for saying Charlie Kirk's shooter was "of the left" — then admitting he wasn’t sure because of reports that he may be a Groyper. "The internet is undefeated in getting it wrong." Total nut job.

“I’m basically going to cancel with extreme prejudice these evil, sick animals who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s assassination.” Elected officials seem to be targeting private citizens exercising their First Amendment rights to speak about Kirk’s exceedingly polarizing career.

Trump thinks Obama and Clinton should “pay a price” for … the ridiculous allegation he and his allies have contrived. I wrote about why the allegation makes no sense and why it exists despite that. www.pbump.net/o/allow-me-t...

A football field is 57,600 square feet.

I’ve had nothing to do with that pedophile since he stole all of my teenage masseuses.

... But more important than Harvard’s loss would be the victory for autocracy and extortion and lawlessness that a settlement would represent. It would be a colossal and grievous and historic mistake, no matter what’s in the fine print.

No. Giving Trump a “win” here would indelibly stain @harvard.edu, and damage it deeply in the eyes of its myriad constituencies (particularly its alumni, myself included, who would revolt), not to mention the nation and the world. ...

Emil Bove has refused to say what he knows about the Epstein cover up. Senate Republicans just advanced his nomination anyway.

Sounds about right…for a narcissistic autocrat.

Dramatic changes to the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program could drive drugmakers from the market, threatening access to shots, experts say. “If (Kennedy’s) unstated goal is to basically destroy the vaccine industry, that could do it.” By @sheinvestigates.bsky.social

Tommy Tuberville believes it’s radical leftists, not age, Big Macs, or a lack of exercise, that are making Trump ill. “The pressure on Trump right now, not just from outside entities all over the world, but also fighting the radicals in this country.” www.thedailybeast.com//gop-senator...

Trump is now posting private mortgage documents from Adam Schiff, and I URGE people who have less self-control than Pavlov's dogs to EMPHASIZE that it is likely a crime for him to have accessed these docs, if you do post them.

ICE is soon to become the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in US history, with more money than the federal prison system, the FBI, and the Drug Enforcement Administration combined. Here's what that will logistically look like.

SUPER SUNDAY PARTY PACK It's my true pleasure to present my latest pack in the Super Sunday series. If you replied on last week's pack or on today's post (or reposted) there's a good chance you are in it. Check it out 👀 More chances next week 👊🏼 Please repost for wider reach 🙏🏼🫂 #StrongerTogether

Here's how you can help those impacted by the catastrophic flooding in Texas Hill Country, along with safety tips for dealing with flood warnings and what to do when you encounter flood waters.

MAGA will believe a flood was caused by a secret weather weapon, but refuse to acknowledge that flooding is statistically getting worse and that Trump defunded the thing that tells people about it and the the programs that help towns prepare. It’s all downhill from here.

Texas is getting what it voted for. But, I'm sure they can take comfort in the thoughts and prayers of Donald Trump and Melania.

Horrific story. Texas flooding latest: 32 dead, including 14 children, as search for 27 girls continues www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Murray: This bill polls like garbage because it is garbage. That's why it should go nowhere except a trash bin

The news media have normalized a president brazenly lying every day. Decent people are appalled, and that should include journalists, but instead the media have accepted lying as part of the game.

Did this asshole get Congressional approval to go to war with Iran?

Trump directs war planes to the Middle East. These are in transit. This is confirmed by Germans. I am seeking more confirmations

I’m sure all the people in Tehran who follow Trump on truth social are packing their bags this very minute. 🙄

Lolololol. I just love @jimacosta.bsky.social. 😂

This bumbling moron. What a laughingstock.

In fact there were TWO MAGA Terrorist attacks Saturday: This guy INTENTIONALLY drove his SUV into No King protesters in Virginia. As police stated he "intentionally accelerated his car" into crowd. This MAGA terrorist attack deserves far more coverage! www.12onyourside.com/2025/06/14/c...

“Overall this was a pretty listless and low-energy parade and crowd.” Amid Rain and Protests, Trump’s Parade Puts on Show of Military Might www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

A listless speech from a draft-dodger who has denigrated the army for nearly 80 years and degraded it since he became commander-in-chief produces virtually no reaction from the crowd. And then they sing happy birthday as if there would be a firing squad if they did not.
