“Patriot Front” fascists are too cowardly to show their faces. I would like to hear from the young woman in the photo. Wonder what her thoughts were while seated among the “deplorables.”

Democratic governments fail when intelligence services, law enforcement, and prosecutors cease serving the law and become instruments of political power. Todd Blanche’s nomination presents this danger. Reject Blanche. steadystate1.substack.com #HoldFast #Democracy #Trump #Blanche #Politics #NoKings

Corruption in full view. www.theguardian.com/law/2026/jun...

Over 1,000 hospitals and other medical providers are now at risk of cuts or closures, thanks to Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. All to pay for tax cuts for the super-rich. Never forget who they really govern for.

HAHAHAHAA

Money laundering or just standard Trump branding denoting low quality? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

My new favorite photo of Trump. It should be titled “The Creature from the Reflecting Pool.”

Disproves Trump’s claim to being a great deal maker. Obama’s JCPOA was the real art of the deal.

The Republican congressional majority has abdicated authority to the executive and the country is made increasingly authoritarian. Vote blue in the midterms to seat a Congress that will resist executive overreach. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The art of the deal

Rep. Massie calls out the JD Vance Epstein files lies on the View 🤥

The U.S. Is one of the world’s leaders in clean-energy innovation, but the Trump administration wants to strip that away from us. After years of review and planning, renewable energy projects are being blocked – all because they don’t fit their political agenda. Article: zurl.co/P6POZ

The corruption is not hidden. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump’s family is selling commemorative coins through the Trump Organization ahead of the UFC fight Trump is hosting on the White House lawn. The most expensive coin costs nearly $12,000. The grift never ends.

Interesting innovation. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

If Trump can avoid falling asleep or shitting himself during tonight’s Knicks game, he can win the expectations game.

Renewing section 702, which allows intel agencies to collect data on Americans, has always created the possibility of abuse. Pulte's record demonstrates that if he becomes DNI he will violate protections to mine intel data for political dirt to help Trump. Trump wants an American STASI.

Elmo is wishing peace for everyone, and conservatives can't stand it

And, of course, much of that money is spent at Trump's golf courses and thus lines his own pocket.

An excellent piece here on Trump & Hegseth’s illegal, immoral, and ineffectual attacks on the “drug boats.” open.substack.com/pub/wonkette...

A good start. Now let’s see more arrests for crimes committed by ICE and CBP, and get convictions that hold up under appeal. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is a minor event that has no significant impact on anyone’s life, but it still pleases me. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Corruption in plain sight. It will take a decade to fix this debacle. #TrumpCorruption

The end of a Trump peace agreement that never really existed. Give the man another FIFA Peace Prize. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Lincoln chose “malice toward none.” Mandela chose reconciliation over revenge. Trump promised “I am your retribution.” That contrast tells you almost everything about leadership and what public office is supposed to be for. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

NEW: When the Pentagon announced a $620 million loan last year to a startup linked to Donald Trump Jr., defense officials and the company tried to tamp down suspicions of cronyism. We found that the request came directly from the White House.

Legal or not, this does not pass the sniff test. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Left unregulated, industries routinely choose profits over public well being. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

The state of America in four panels.

Looks like clean power isn’t a woke scam after all.

Larry Pfeiffer, Steady State member, Hayden Center Director, former senior director of the White House Situation Room, former CIA chief of staff, and 32-yr U.S. Intel veteran, says Gabbard was unqualified and ineffective as DNI, and the office still needs bipartisan reform. zurl.co/sKqQ2

Easily, the most corrupt president in history:

Add Trump Mobile to the long list of Trump family failed businesses. Remarkable how the Trump family makes money from failures. The very definition of grift. finance.yahoo.com/markets/stoc...

The Trump Administration’s concept of freedom feels like tyranny to me.

😕

The more things change The more they stay the same.

Trump media losing money means it fits in with many other of the great business man’s ventures like Trump Airlines, Trump Casino, Trump University, Trump Steaks… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Perhaps we will eventually be able to repair damage being inflicted on democracy, social justice, education, healthcare… Damage to the environment is probably irreversible and we are worse off regardless of corporate profits being gained. www.propublica.org/article/clea...

Talarico is meeting the moment with the right message.

“That our attention spans have been degraded, our thinking skills blunted.” I agree. www.theguardian.com/media/ng-int...

These are the US attorneys serving during Trump’s current administration. The lack of diversity is glaring.

It is Sunday evening. Time to encourage investors with some optimistic bs before markets open Monday. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Washington politicians are leaving taxpayers on the hook for a skyrocketing national debt. For every tax dollar collected, this Administration spends $1.33. Trump's tax cuts for billionaires and reckless wars are going to hurt this generation and the next.
