When even your head ferret surrenders at the G7 Summit.

When the Republic Almost Fell What we can learn from new reporting on how the Trumpists have been contemplating despotism, the fault lines within the regime, and the prospects for a post-Trump MAGA. My new piece – free to read, no paywall:

🚨URGENT: PLEASE SHARE: We MUST amplify awareness for state SNAP waivers. The USDA's rule for states to decide what we can & cannot purchase on SNAP is REPREHENSIBLE. States deciding what SNAP recipients can purchase will cause stigma & create access issues. NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS. Thank you.🙏

We have to make sure to hold our government accountable to us.

NEW: GEO group privately asked ICE to remove requirements to pay detainees to work. Seems like a 13A violation since most detainees aren’t convicted of crimes. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Haitian Temporary Protected Status holders ask #SCOTUS to dismiss their case (Trump v. Miot, No. 25-1084) as improvidently granted, claiming newly surfaced internal DHS documents show the decision to end protections was based on unsupported claims. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

Investigators found that leaders of a prison gang in Puerto Rico were selling inmates drugs in exchange for voting for Gov. Jenniffer González-Colón, a longtime Republican. After Trump’s election, prosecutors were told not to pursue charges. (Published May)

Woman’s hypothermia death after her release by ICE is ruled a homicide www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... #ICE #DHS #immigration #law #HumanRights

Never forget; the only time they lost is when he showed up.

Children at Murmansk school camp were handed assault rifles and grenade launchers as part of military-sports game. Minors were shown tactical gear and lectured on "SMO heroes" by United Russia politicians and Ukraine war veterans. They are training kids to grow up and kill us!

So, Trump threatening Iran with nuclear annihilation (if they don't sign the deal) is proof that Trump knows the threat of mutual destruction would keep Iran from using a nuke in the first place, right?

They are gonna remotely sign two totally different documents

Israel has just bombed the town of Zlaya in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley.

Yes! This paired with a reminder that DOGE slashed funding for CISA, please!

NEW: Donald Trump Jr. invests in a co. trying to build an oil refinery in the U.S. Then the richest man in Asia invests... in the same company. Then... his co. gets policy concessions from the Trump Admin. @josh-kaplan.bsky.social & @justinelliott.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

So, now what? The senate passes the war powers act, which effectively ends the war in Iran, and Trump blames everyone else for "taking the pressure off" of Iran when the new deal isn't as good as the JCPOA?

New modeling from the CDC shows that if measures aren't taken immediately, this outbreak could sicken more than 20,000 people in the next three months. n.pr/4dTyGQm

The oligarchs who now run our lives are by and large evil people and they own Trump. Take this very, very seriously. Like Trump, they are capable of unspeakable acts and are committing them right under our noses.

Trump-appointed judges have cleared the way for Alabama to use a racially discriminatory map for this year’s state senate races — even though thousands of ballots were cast in a primary held earlier this month.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

The concept of a "real/authentic Milli Vanilli" is objectively hilarious.🤣

Per NYT, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, Andrew Boutros (yes, the one who just admitted to alleged misconduct in the Broadview Six case and dismissed it days before trial), opened this inquiry:

So let me get this straight… Trump gets found liable by juries TWICE, owes E. Jean Carroll millions, then his DOJ launches a CRIMINAL probe into HER? That’s not justice. That’s revenge wearing a government badge.

The year is 2026. People can't afford gas, health care, or food. Trump has betrayed his base and is openly corrupt as he prepares for death. This full blown ridiculous attack on Talarico is a clear indication MAGA sees him as a legitimate threat.

NEW: The $1.8B slush fund is NOT A SETTLEMENT. And now, 35 former judges have filed a motion to REOPEN the Trump/IRS case so the judge can commence an inquiry into whether the court was deceived. I've been sayin!! storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Paxton didn’t just challenge the results or allege fraud — courts had already dismissed lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign and his allies to that effect, finding no evidence whatsoever to support the crackpot conspiracy theories they peddled. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NATO is far more disappointed in the US than the US has any right to be with them. Trump is disappointed because NATO is not subservient and stands up for its mission and beliefs. He thinks of them as servants who should be fired for insubordination. Also, he's on Team Russia, not Team Democracy.
