Do they make a pair three sizes too big for Wemby?

This is insane. Here in DC, we're able to deal with Trump's noxious presence whenever he visits us from Florida. And we do it without shutting the whole town down. Zohran, WTAF? www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/k...

Interesting is that the new "plan" is to take Iran's frozen assets and give them to Jared Kushner's clients 🤔

Fun fact: ♦️They served food to inmates at Alcatraz.

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

Trump told me this a couple of hours before Bibi struck Iran. He has turned himself into a prisoner of other people's decisions.

Ironically, this is a case in which Trump actually COULD dictate his preferred outcome-- if he weren't such a pathetically weak man: ♦️He has the unilateral power to halt US arms transfers to Israel. He could do it today. But he won't. Because he's too much of a coward to stand up to his own base.

Least Surprising Follow-Up of the Day:

Lots of commentary of Trump's alleged getting-tough with Netanyahu. You don't have to read any of it. Because @theonion.com tells the whole tale:

The key tell: ♦️Nowhere in the interview did Trump say that he'd threatened to halt arms transfers. He has the Ace of Spades. But he'll never play it.

Very likely true: ♦️Trump has blown through a massive portion of the stockpile, and there simply is no capacity (in the US or elsewhere) to ramp up production of interceptors speedily. The big question will be: Who gets the scarce resupply? (My prediction: Israel).

This doesn't actually bother me. But it sure is weird.

1. True: All he has to do is follow existing US law. That would halt not only much (maybe all) military aid, but even arms transfers. 2. He will never do it.

Slow news day? No, the Post has been running this ad-dressed-as-journalism for a whole week.

Bari Weiss isn't just a bad journalist. ♦️She's the definitional OPPOSITE of a journalist.

And SuperMax prisons pamper convicted murderers with weight rooms, infirmaries, and even multiple meals per day!

Exactly. In her next interview, Welker will return to her baseline: Providing Trump the chance to spout his lies with minimal pushback. She's been through this cycle so many times: Sycophancy, an occasional foray into #journalism-- then return to sycophancy when Trump has a fit. She will again.

Far from the most important part of this interview, but: ♦️Why is a guy who's spent his entire life in luxury condos sitting by a bale of hay?

Kristen Welker has been one of the biggest Trump ass-kissers in the mainstream media. So I'll save my tears for #journalists who've actually been doing their jobs.

True, but not big: ♦️Iran first made this pledge in 1968. When it signed the NPT. It has re-confirmed this promise many times, both before and after the 1979 Revolution. Trump has vastly increased the odds of Iran breaking its commitment. But the vow is nothing new.

like this is unconscionable

If I were an action hero, this is what I’d say to the bad guy before the kill shot.

they should fill a different arena with people and fake knicks players and have secret service take him there and he would literally never know the difference

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates. “I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said. (Published Nov. 2025)

Unlike the rest of us: Marge-- like all former Congress Members-- has access to affordable health care for life.

(I mean-- Sure, I'd rather they pick me. But let's be realistic).

(For those who need explanation: Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. AKA Bad Bunny. Today's teen boys could do far worse than use him as their model).

As dad of teen boys, I see LOTS of absolutely awful male role models: My sons' peer group is steeped in Andrew Tate, Clavicular, etc. And that's what the algorithms force-feed them. If we don't want the next generation of men to turn out like that, we need to give them better models. For example:

This right-wing influencer (spouse of one of Trump's most obsequious fanboys) has 5 kids. Do your own math.

Not many kids lived to become nostalgic about going 75mph the wrong way in the highway. #thanksAI

Question nobody seems to have asked: ♦️For his birthday-party-on-the-Mall, why didn't Trump get Kanye, Nikki Minaj & MIA? They're politics are awful (ie, his own). But at least (unlike his invitees) they once produced good music.

The Pentagon has raised its counterintelligence threat level for Israel amid concerns about eavesdropping on U.S.-Iran talks. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/06/u...

If Trump did this: ♦️Brazil-- very low IQ, unfair to me, no right to be in this High Class Tournament...Germany, France, Spain-- ungrateful for American protection, without us they'd have lost World War II...Nigeria, Haiti-- sh**-holes, why are they invited?...Russia & North Korea for the finals...

Fact-check: ✅

These are just the events that were RECORDED:

Israel has been spying on the US for decades-- perhaps for all of its existence. Some intelligence collection on allies is normal, but Israel's actions go FAR beyond those of any other US ally. The most noteworthy and damaging spy was Jonathan Pollard: He's now a darling of the Israeli right wing.

It's just too on-the-nose that a corrupt Republican congressman who obtained a corrupt pardon from a corrupt president... ...is named "Buyer."

Don't know whether he meant it this way, but: ♦️In his analogy, immigrants are the good guys.

I remember all of these items. My kids would not understand any of them.

82 years ago today my grandfather, who lied about his age to enlist in the military, was in one of the first waves of landing crafts to hit the beaches of Normandy. He's been gone a long time now, but today I remember him and the other brave souls who fought and died for a righteous cause.

Latest Fetterman head-smacker: After running explicitly on being the 51st vote to kill the filibuster, he's now a "no." (If Dems ever retake Congress & the White House, they'll need to kill the filibuster in order to get anything done). thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Real news, from (maybe) 2029:

Key point in the #GrahamPlatner debate: ♦️If you live in Maine, vote for whoever you wish in the primary. If you're disturbed by the latest story-- or the prospect that there will probably be another disturbing story next week-- don't even rank him. ...But in November: Vote for the Dem nominee.

Because we're ruled by a kleptocratic dictator who's looting everything that isn't nailed down?

very noticeable that Trump is doing his exact rally speech in Wisconsin, only sitting. Almost like he's not able to stand for a long period of time right now and the "roundtable" (nobody has spoken other than him!) is a front

So, losing a war against Iran is "practice" for losing a war against...who?

The fact that Platner's primary accuser co-founded "Ladies for [Brett] Kavanaugh" is definitely a relevant fact. Will the Establishment Media treat it that way?

Nobody expects a president to fix every problem. But we do expect him to show whose side he's on. The right reply: ♦️"It's insane: The NBA clearly has no interest in enabling fans who aren't millionaires to attend their games. I'll be sitting in the nosebleed seats-- like Zohran!"

Christine Blasey Ford would like a word
