A federal lawsuit seeks to halt the upcoming UFC fight card on the White House South Lawn in a mixed martial arts show timed for President Donald Trump's 80th birthday and part of the celebration of the nation's 250th anniversary. https://to.pbs.org/3RSAIHO

This actually may be one of Welker's best moments in this role. He looks positive insanely, even before the sweaty face.

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.

it's bad that the Secretary of Defense of the US is a nazi

82 years ago today, brave heroes stormed the beaches of Normandy to defeat fascism in Europe. We must honor their service by recognizing and defeating fascism when it arises in our own country.

…and voices.

A major batch for Nithya Raman. It’s a near certainty at this point that the general election in the Los Angeles mayoral race will Bass vs. Raman.

More than half of the publicly identified donors to Trump’s golden ballroom have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion. Corruption at its finest.

While ballots are still being counted in some California primary races, one thing is for sure: Chad Bianco will not be the next governor. The sheriff seized hundreds of thousands of ballots in the state’s redistricting referendum earlier this year, acting on claims from an anti-voting group.

What I saw inside Delaney Hall was unjust. It was cruel. That’s why I’m fighting to get an audit done immediately and improve conditions. No more taxpayer dollars to fund this lawlessness.

UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell: “(Trump’s) Government is desecrating its role… government is supposed to protect us, not entertain us.”

"I support impeachment, full stop, of the president and his cabinet. It's the reason why I'm running. ... [Removing Donald Trump] is the first thing we have to do before we can even think about getting to the other things, because he stands in the way, and he's making everything worse."

“What would have to happen for me to concede that the United States is beyond hope?”

The residents of Froid, Montana, never expected the nationwide crackdown on immigration to make its way to their tiny town. But when it did they were determined to stand up for one of their own. https://to.pbs.org/43iVseh

The SAVE America Act, a far-reaching Republican election overhaul that President Trump said should be his congressional allies' top priority, has failed in the Senate. n.pr/4xbaBfl

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

Lots to follow here. While the Trump regime’s intent is just that, to exhaust so we give up and become desensitized to all their atrocities, we must use the reasons behind the exhaustion to fuel our commitment and determination to counter those sources and their actions.

Rep. Ted Lieu, D-California, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had a tense exchange in a congressional hearing Wednesday over President Donald Trump dozing off in public appearances, like Cabinet meetings. https://to.pbs.org/4x8GogW

The president is admitting that it's a partisan event here, so it shouldn't be getting any more federal funding. He can pay for it himself.

Trump, who has threatened to commit genocide in Iran, says the U.S. military wants to "wipe everybody out" in a country of 93 million people. He thinks our soldiers are as depraved as he is. He's wrong.

Trump has no public events on his schedule again today. The last time he was seen publicly for something other than a pre-taped interview was six days ago -- Wednesday, May 27 -- for his cabinet meeting. (He went to Walter Reed the day before.)

Scott Pelley is leaving, but not before he drops a big stack of receipts on what happened at 60 minutes. It's worse than you could have imagined, and bless this man for fighting as hard as he could and then tearing down the blackout curtains so we could see what's happening inside.

Smart people do smart things.

This is good: Dems are moving to force Rs to vote on Trump's corrupt IRS immunity deal, now that the slush fund is in doubt. The exemption from IRS audits is getting overlooked, but it shouldn't. Dems tell me they're pushing for votes to kill it. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2112...

Just kidding. Blanche confirmed that the part of the deal protecting Trump from taxes on the settlement money is still in place — it was not canceled or taken back.
