Russ Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances: “I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.” (Published Oct. 2025)

Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s mishandling of classified documents and obstruction of justice is still hidden, thanks to Trump’s personal lawyers taking over the DOJ.

Stellt Euch mal vor, der zweitmächtigste Mann der SPD wäre dabei ertappt worden, wie er fünfmal auf einer Konferenz von Linksextremisten gewesen war. Und jetzt fragt Euch, warum es beim Fall von CDU-Fraktionschef Jens Spahn und dem rechtsextremen Peter Thiel noch so ruhig bleibt.

Everyone is also fully aware that: - Iran already agreed to have weapons inspectors as part of the Obama-era JCPOA — a breakthrough that didn't require a war - Trump abandoned that policy for no good reason - lifting sanctions before working out new details on inspections is evidence of amateur hour

Only a sense of impunity explains the willingness of someone to run another human being over in a public space with plenty of cameras. They assume the Trump administration will protect them from prosecution. www.nj.com/essex/2026/0...

Israel’s unhinged National security minister Ben Gvir says Bibi should tell Trump ‘no’: “Lebanon should be our playground. We should target all of it. Thousands of Lebanese mothers should cry and not one 🇮🇱 mother… Iranians have to be bombed & bombed…”

BREAKING: Trump and Gabbard are blocking the release two new reports commissioned by ODNI showing zero vote manipulation in the 2020 election.

BREAKING: Police releases photo of the criminal who vandalized the Reflecting Pool:

You paid for a plane with "a level of luxury that nobody has never seen before". And he's apparently taking it with him once he leaves the White House. The plane. The ballroom. The corruption. This guy thinks taxpayers are dopes. Your money is just his to live a life of luxury.

Three ferries carrying fuel trucks to Russian-occupied Crimea are on fire at the Kerch Strait ferry line.

Anybody have any clue who this is? I’m baffled

❗️Four radar stations from the S-400 anti-aircraft missile system and two Pantsir anti-aircraft missile and gun systems located directly on the Kerch bridge were disabled last night in an operation by the Security Service of Ukraine and Ukrainian Defense Forces.

Never mind that Vance got conned, the fact that the vice president saying he heard second-hand from the president's son-in-law and the president's real estate buddy that the strait was open is humiliating on its own.

The completely & utterly demented, mentally ill President of the United States just posted this truly brainless imbecilic nonsense. Elected GOP are shameful to not remove this dangerously deranged fool from office immediately. There is something truly wrong with him. “Idiocracy” was non-fiction.

Someone sabotaged the Reflecting Pool to embarrass him. That’s the story they’re rolling out. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

🚨 BREAKING: Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, citing what it calls U.S. failure to uphold the “end-of-war agreement,” Israel’s continued strikes in southern Lebanon, and Israel’s refusal to withdraw from the area. 1/

I need y’all to remember this: Trump gets to keep Air Force One. It cost taxpayers nearly $1 billion to upgrade, and before he leaves office, ownership transfers to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation, which he himself said is “most likely going to be a hotel.”

Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today! We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.

Mal kurz sacken lassen: Schon im Jahr 2009 verkündete der erklärte Demokratiefeind & Palantir-Gründer Peter Thiel, dass Demokratie und Freiheit nicht vereinbar seien. Zwischen 2018 - 2024 nahm der heutige CDU-Fraktionsvorsitzende Jens Spahn an diversen, geheimen Treffen von Thiels Netzwerk teil.

ZELENSKYY: You have all seen how Russia struck with drones our Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, one of the most important Christian holy sites for entire Christian world. Attacking such places is crime against humanity. You can see our response to this attack in Moscow region this morning.

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

More Ignorance than Political Ideology….

THE TERMS DON’T LIE. #IranLEGO #TrumpSurrendered

Rep. Claudia Tenney: "There are thousands and thousands of cases of people voting in the wrong place, at the wrong time. This happens all the time. But the Democrats want to tell you it doesn't happen because you can't prove it."

Meloni released a video firing back at Trump’s comments, calling them “completely fabricated.” “I am frankly appalled,” she said. “I don’t know why the President of the United States behaves this way towards his allies.” 2/

March 9: "We're now totally independent of the Middle East. We don't need their oil." April 1: "It doesn't really affect us. We have so much oil, much more than we need." June 17: If I didn't agree to the MOU, we "would run out of reserves at about 4 weeks..."

No lies detected.

But wait, there’s more

Guess we f*cked around and found out, an insightful Moscow resident says as he watches the Moscow oil refinery burning.

"If #Ukraine is burning, then your Moscow will also be burning," - President Zelenskyy.

What a beautiful morning in Moscow!

I thought this deserves its own post. A lid is blown off the tank by the attack on the Moscow oil refinery.

HOLY SMOKES! Moscow right now 🔥🔥🔥

"So ... so I said ... why not sign your treaty here, at Versailles?"

Trump really ought to walk through the Senate chamber buck naked tomorrow and demand that Thune conduct a vote on whether he’s clothed. The vote would be 52-47 yea, with Murkowski joining the Democrats as a no and Collins saying she’s too concerned to vote.

Ossoff on Mike Collins: "He's pro-war. He's pro-tariffs. He's pro-cutting your healthcare. He's also a notorious bigot and antisemite, and an election-denying extremist who is only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman, and is a Trump puppet who will serve his needs & agenda mindlessly"

We were the only UNIONIZED employees he’d ever had, too. I am broke as hell now, but I’ll never regret saying this: EAT SHIT, YOU PATHETIC TWERP. No matter how much cash you accrue, you’ll never know the joy of solidarity. Your life is empty, and you’ll be remembered as a warning to children.

Trump, breathing heavily, threatens Mexico: "Now we're gonna go and focus on the land. They [drugs] come through Mexico. Mexico has lost control of their country. The cartels run Mexico. The president is a very scared woman."

NEW: A US official read out the text of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding to journalists on a conference call. Here is a gift link to the full text from the NY Times. Let the analysis begin. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/17/u...

Trump: "The deal with reached with Iran on Sunday will be signed shortly. Tomorrow, maybe the next day. I think. You know, subject -- deals, my whole life is all about deals. That's all I ever did was make deals and crazy things happen with deals. We're going to most likely sign a deal."

Trump: "The stock market is more brilliant than anybody there is, including the people on this stage, other than me of course" (look at Rubio's face while Trump says this)

Trump on his Iran deal: "It's a very strong deal. Nobody knows what it is, but it's very strong."

BLUMENTHAL: Was the Capitol attacked on January 6? BERTHIAUME: Uh. We had activity outside the Capitol, protests and such BLUMENTHAL: Was the Capitol attacked? You're supposed to be the inspector general BERTHIAUME: There was protest activity

SLOTKIN: Do you believe mail voting is safe & secure? GALLO: Uh. That's a very good question. I would say, it's not- under proper guidance & monitoring, yes S: Trump won my state in 2024 & there was a ton of mail voting. Was that voting for President Trump safe & secure? G: It was safe and secure

GALLEGO: So it was just a coincidence that the Jewish candidate is depicted with a pitchfork and horns and the article says 'the difference with Nelson is he's Jewish'? CHARLTON ALLEN: I would not say it's antisemitic

Trump refers to Jon Ossoff as "a pathetic failed Dumocrat Senator, Os(jerk!)off"

Merz sieht sich „on the same team“ mit einem misogynen Rassisten und Sexualstraftäter. Man sollte das nicht als Nebensächlichkeit abtun, sondern Merz hier beim Wort nehmen. Niemand zwingt ihn zu dieser Geste, es ist eine bewusste Positionierung auf Seiten des postmodernen Faschismus.

New filings from the "Broadview Six" defense attorneys tonight. The first reveals the feds decided to "not contest that defendants are entitled to their legal fees," though they have "not yet committed to the amount of legal fees" they will pay. Full filing: cst.brightspotcdn.com/0c/07/4afee6...
