Another win for Putin.

Last year, Trump and DOGE gutted funding for thousands of USAID programs, including monitoring and containing New World screwworm in Central America. Now, the parasite has moved north and infected American livestock. "Efficiency."

AOC: This is what I want people to understand: this is our money. When you pay your taxes, that money is being stolen to pay for a vanity project like a ballroom or whatever it is that this guy wants to do, instead of what it should be used for…

There it is. Plain as day

This is ridiculous. And would set off massive alarms on any normal planet.

Another Trump “ME”morial? Trump told reporters today he wants to build a promenade that would allow pedestrians to easily walk from the rear of the Lincoln monument to the east bank of the Potomac River. “They want to call it the Trump Promenade,” he said www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

If Biden had passed out at a meeting and pitched over to 45 degrees like this he'd have been forced to resign the presidency

Trump just said his new Director of National Intelligence "may find out some things about the rigged elections." What??? How did no one ask what Trump wants his DNI to "find out" about the elections, what he wants his DNI to do to them, and why he thinks that's the DNI's job?

Looking very awake sir!

New investigative reporting from AL.com reveals that Senator Tommy Tuberville illegally voted in Florida in 2018 — three months after he had already moved back to Alabama. The scandal could completely derail his eligibility to run for Alabama governor.

Trump is struggling to stay conscious in the Oval Office yet again

"For now" , illustrates what kind of ally the US currently is for European countries... #greenland #denmark

LARSON: Are we at war currently? BESSENT: The conflict has been halted LARSON: The conflict has been halted. So we're not at war? BESSENT: If you'd like me to call the Secretary of War, I can ask

As Trump plans to attend the NBA championship game on Monday, I’m starting to wonder if there is any major sport left he hasn’t attended an event for as a sitting President?

If only someone could figure out how to make milk safe to drink! It'd be such a big deal the process would be named after them.

Oh yeah? Well the distance to the moon is bigger than his pool.

Trump is an irredeemable asshole who appeals to assholes.

Trump just signed order "reclassifying" ~8,000 civil servants so they are easier to fire for political reasons -- this has been in the works since his first term www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

Scott Pelley gave an impassioned speech a year ago that’s worth watching today. Kudos to him and other 60 Minutes correspondents and staff for defending the media and our democracy.

Is there anything more "out of touch" than spending millions in taxpayer money to coat horse statues in gold while Americans struggle to afford groceries and gas?

Three Washington state residents been convicted on federal conspiracy charges for protesting ICE. www.justice.gov/usao-edwa/pr...

The president is admitting that it's a partisan event here, so it shouldn't be getting any more federal funding. He can pay for it himself.

Texas Screwworm is the pet name Ken Paxton's mistress gave him

CBS has fired Scott Pelley for doing exactly what journalists are supposed to do: Speaking truth to power. Bari Weiss and David Ellison are a disgrace to the media industry. But they unfortunately join a large corporate club filled with disgraceful people.

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

First day on the job and you want respect? Go right up to the most recognizable and respected guy in the newsroom and have him yell at you until you cry. Then it's time to send him a weepy email telling him how disappointed you were that he did all that. Shouldn't have any trouble after that.

BREAKING: In an unsigned, per curiam opinion on the shadow docket, the SCOTUS conservatives allow Alabama to use a congressional map held repeatedly by a lower court to have been enacted with discriminatory intent.

🚨BREAKING: All I can say is this is fucking so cynical I have no words. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

You can always tell a free speech warrior by how fast they fire people for making them look bad in a meeting

nick bilton is a bitch

“In the end, this is what Donald Trump wanted,” one television executive remarked to @status.news. “The Ellisons and Bari Weiss have delivered to Trump exactly what he asked them for.” www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

Also anyone with any actual experience managing a newsroom knows that if you have real reporters in your bullpen they will confront you with real questions about your intentions. If you can’t handle it, you have no business managing a newsroom.

who are these people so we can make fun of them

Victor Marx, the Republican frontrunner for Colorado Governor, claims he was forced to kill a man at age 7 & talks about killing people related to his "high risk missionary" work. But he wouldn't tell me how many people he's killed. "Does it matter?" Marx asked. Marx, never deployed or saw combat.

The front runner for the Republican nomination for Governor of Colorado relied “does it matter” when asked how many people he has killed

i told you guys. they're just givin these jobs away! bsky.app/profile/lizz...

I honestly believe this admin is *hoping* for a terrorist attack to both rally around the flag and have a pretext for domestic crackdowns leading into the midterms. No other explanation for this insanity.

BLANCHE: Who the president chooses to pardon is not a problem, period IVEY: What's the legal basis for that statement? BLANCHE: The Constitution IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery

Having the worst President ever during the country’s 250th birthday sucks But it’s important to remember he ruined the country so there’s nothing to celebrate anyway

Frankel to Rubio: "It is crazy that you want to let people in from South Africa because they can assimilate, while you're throwing out hundreds of thousands of people who have already assimilated and that are important parts of our economy and family life."

tRump quietly bought UFC stock right before announcing a massive UFC fight on the White House lawn for July 4th. Turning the People’s House into a personal stock pump for his portfolio. People aren’t even surprised anymore. mcsp.short.gy/NBJO
