This needs to be law. Not a promise from serial prevaricator Trump toady Todd Blanche. Also no IRS audit exception

Troy Lake Sr. owned Elite Diesel Service near Cheyenne, Wyoming. He pled guilty to removing, bypassing, or disabling emissions control systems on 344 trucks. He wasn’t fixing his own car. He was paid at least $362,000. Served 7 months, not years and Trump pardoned him.

Good thing it wasn’t on the test.

This is super important. This is a shot across the bow of the Supreme Court. The administration is preemptively taking the position that a Supreme Court ruling against the ballroom project has no force and will not be obeyed.

Wow 😧 “Members of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) were escorted by police out of the convention center in New Orleans during the organization's annual meeting on Friday as they handed out copies of an editorial criticizing Trump administration changes to U.S. biomedical research.”

Um, no. No one should be able to obtain your private medical records without your consent. Period.

JUST IN: Trump administration argues courts lack grounds to halt White House ballroom project even if it was clearly illegal. DOJ attorney also contends no lawsuit could stop Trump from tearing down Statue of Liberty if he wanted to. w/ @kyledcheney.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

Platner clearly no saint, but seems noteworthy his accuser is a Republican operative who defended Kavanaugh, attacked Christine Blasey Ford, and falsely accused Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk of doing things they didn’t, in defense of Israel. (which Platner is critical of)

Rewrite great speeches for Trump: "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what your country can do for me."

By extending his streak to 45⅔ innings, Sánchez surpassed Carl Hubbell (45⅓) for the longest by any left-handed pitcher.

There is no evidence Joe Biden ever “weaponized” his DOJ. And his DOJ prosecuted the IRS leaker. Trump twice publicly promised to release his taxes. He also repeatedly publicly attempted to “weaponize” his DOJ in his 1st term and then repeatedly succeeded at it in his 2nd. They just lie.

He doesn’t understand why women don’t smile around him.🙄

"Getting Off Scott Free" has a ring to it, indeed.

It’s supposed to be a celebration of the country’s 250th birthday, but Trump explicitly wants it to be about him so if you won’t do that you’re not invited.

"Everything about this case suggests it was a collusive effort between Trump and the govt he controls. No lawyer for the DOJ ever entered an appearance, and the requests to delay the govt's answer to the complaint were docketed 'jointly,' but signed by Trump’s lawyers alone." — @lizdye.bsky.social

The Trump administration has teed up such a pricey 250th celebration that the cost is apparently more than the White House can chew. To foot the bill, officials are diverting roughly $90 million away from the National Parks Service. trib.al/QCfVxeC

A pattern for months now. Odd for the Healthiest President of All Time.

Was Butler a STAGED assassination?

Figured the whole "it's over" spiel yesterday was a sham That's why we immediately sued 👉https://www.democracydefendersfund.org/prs/06.02.26-pr And we ain't gonna stop until ALL of this abomination is eradicated

This is the latest Trump corruption to push back on. He's gotten the attorney general to exempt him from the tax laws that govern everyone else—including other presidents. Bill and I released 30+ years of tax returns and were audited a few times! www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It bears repeating that Hunter Biden is good at this.

JUST IN: DOJ's No. 3 official @ASGWoodward signals dept will take up an option we raised here and pay off many J6ers using ordinary DOJ procedures www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

Trump didn't care about pay his pals. This is all he was after Order Shielding Trump Family From I.R.S. Audits Will Remain, Blanche Says www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/u...

If you think of them less as judges and more of a Republican Party protection cartel their decisions become a lot more predictable.

It's not just measles: Doctors are seeing more of a number of vaccine-preventable illnesses. And it's not just childhood vaccines: They're seeing more adults refuse tetanus shots after injuries, and even blood transfusions bc the blood might come from a vaccinated donor. From me and Dani Blum:

Trying to understand how it’s legal for a POTUS to tell voters he’ll ensure their state receives funding if they vote like he tells them to while promising they won’t receive the said funding if they disobey his orders on who to vote for Thought we fought a revolution over this?

New: Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio said he's in "a lot of group chats" with "the J6 community" & "a lot of them want to use this money to start some type of political act," like "run for office" Tarrio also thought many would "spend their money on firearms." www.mediamatters.org/january-6-in...

Simply despicable:

uhh

PETERS: Yes or no, do you think it's right for a president to approve disaster aid based on whether a state voted for him instead of the amount of damage in the state? This chart behind me is pretty dramatic MARKWAYNE MULLIN: That's not my experience of the president P: This chart speaks volumes

Rep Jamie Raskin tells me Dems will try to force votes killing Trump's IRS immunity deal. Make Rs vote on that, not just the slush fund! Raskin also says a Dem House will strengthen prohibitions against this sort of corrupt presidential self-dealing: newrepublic.com/article/2112...

Proud Boy Enrique Tarrio says the quiet part out loud: Even if Trump scraps the Anti-Weaponization Fund, the DOJ could still settle separate lawsuits brought by Jan. 6 Capitol attackers —potentially handing out millions in taxpayer dollars to people who participated in the attack.

MURPHY: Can you commit that if a court judges something ICE is doing as illegal & tells you to stop that you will comply? MULLIN: We will never break the Constitution, but we're gonna enforce the laws C: That's not same thing as committing to obey an order M: We see politicized courts over & over

here's is what Rubio looked like on the night he claims he was working hard with the president and definitely not shirking his secretary of state duties (Julia Demaree Nikhinson/Getty)

ROSEN: Can the money in the Board of Peace account be used to compensate the president or his family? RUBIO: No one is talking about doing that (Not a no!)

Trump appoints a totally unqualified political hack who's shown a willingness to violate ethics rules and probably the law to go after Trump's political opponents as Acting Director of National Intelligence (Acting, so no Senate confirmation). A ludicrous appointment, but a very dangerous one.

As a reminder, Pulte is the guy who goes through the mortgages of Trump’s enemies, looking for mistakes, which he then uses as a basis to refer them for criminal prosecution. See, e.g.: Letitia James

Hormuz open next week is the new infrastructure week

Hegseth personally intervened to block the promotion of several senior Navy officers, including at least two female officers and two Black male officers, four current and former defense officials told The New York Times. trib.al/vZlq3DV

At the end of Trump's first term, he pardoned a GOP fundraiser named Elliott Broidy after he pleaded guilty to illegally lobbying Trump and his administration. Just last month, Broidy's AI company won a $106M contract from the DOJ.

It’s important to take a beat & say it out loud. This is the president of the United States. How undignified. How diminishing of our country. You wouldn’t let your kids talk like this, so why are you willing to tolerate it from the leader of your country?

We’re not paying for this, right?

The corruption never stops.

Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.

Hey remember when Trump said he didn’t know what Project 2025 was and the super serious mainstream media swallowed it? 😕🤷🏼

This right here.
