The level of corruption from Donald Trump and his family is astounding.

Trump's planned 850,000 fireworks display on July 4th are now projected to cause hazardous air pollution in the greater D.C. region. Everything he touches is no good. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

So weird how this keeps happening

"Crypto Brought Trump a Huge Windfall, Even as Many Investors Lost Big: President Trump and his family reaped vast financial rewards from a memecoin that generated losses for hundreds of thousands of investors." -- www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

Vance is a despicable bigot. And never forget that he is all about Project 2025. So he says his "faith" makes him "averse" to low-wage foreigners? Just an awful, revealing thing to say by an obviously awful person, much less leader.

Liking Mayor Pete Buttigieg 👍🏼.....

Everyone should be extremely concerned that birthright citizenship was 5-4 and not unanimous.

SCOTUS giving the President total firing authority over independent agencies such as the SEC, FCC, etc. assures no pushback or regulatory continuity between administrations. So businesses face an era of unpredictable policy whiplash — making long-term strategic planning much more complicated.

A Japanese fan broke down crying after his country's elimination, but a group of Brazilians fans went to console him and Mexican fans made him soar. You gotta love the World Cup! ❤️🌎⚽️ Video: RÉCORD

Still sending checks through the mail? Oy... In this day and age, The advice is: don't. But if you must send money this way, scour your account statements promptly. Skipping that advice can leave you vulnerable to check fraud and make it difficult to recover the money if you lose it.

Chief Justice Roberts just announced from the bench that *tomorrow* (Tuesday) will be the last day for opinion hand-downs this term. So we'll get birthright citizenship, the two transgender discrimination cases, and the big campaign finance case in some order at 10 ET tomorrow.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit to gain access to the state's unredacted copy of its statewide voter registration list. DOJ is now 0-11 in these cases. Elias Law Group is undefeated. It may be time to invoke the mercy rule. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-ha...

The Slaughter case, overturning precedent, returns us to a spoils system where a president can “clean house” every four years, destroying our professional, independent civil service.

So... For all the good news with SCOTUS this morning, there was definitely some bad news... That independent agencies, except for the Federal Reserve, are not independent from the President's oversight. And that's a big problem given how many crucial agencies there are in that category...

BREAKING: Chief Justice John Roberts announces that all remaining Supreme Court opinions will be coming at 10a ET Tuesday. Birthright citizenship, the two trans sports bans, and coordinated party expenditure limits cases remain. Subscribe to Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

OMG, this is not Trump's day when it comes to SCOTUS, and those of us who thought the Supreme Court was lost to him forever have had some faith, however tentative, restored. The ruling: Lisa Cook cannot be fired by Trump from the Fed Reserve board. 😁

Lol... And Trump is now out of luck getting SCOTUS to allow his rape conviction to be reviewed yet again. 😎

Amazing!! SCOTUS just upheld the Mississippi law that allows late-arriving mail-in ballots to be counted. Barrett and Roberts sided with the the three more liberal justices on the bench against the more conservative four. Hell, we will take it!

Amazing! SCOTUS has upheld Mississippi's late arriving mail-in ballot law despite Trump's aggressive opposition. It was justices Amy Barrett and Roberts siding with the more liberal 3 against the conservative 4. We will take it!

Recent cover of the @newyorker.com I feel this in my soul

Big week over at The Onion. — Thursday: InfoWars launches live at 8 p.m. ET on YouTube, Twitch and wherever you watch video. New handles and everything. Expect surprises. It is insane. — Friday: An entire history of the country, AMERICA: Birth of a Nation, airs at 8 p.m. ET on all Onion channels.

These geniuses don’t seem to realize passports are for American citizens, when they LEAVE the country 🤦🏼

Texas approved a sweeping, new state book list on Friday, establishing for the first time a common set of books that millions of students across the state must read, including excerpts from the Bible. State government mandating a book list...appalling.

NEW EPISODE: A federal judge in Massachusetts just blocked Trump's executive order that would have let him use the Post Office to control who can vote by mail. This is a massive win for democracy — and it's not the only one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tmz...

😂😂😂

A federal court in Massachusetts struck down crucial components of Trump's executive order restricting mail voting, which even included USPS involvement. Ah, but no, the judge wrote. “The Constitution does not grant the President any specific powers over elections," adding the USPS also has none.

The USPS is proposing a shocking rule requiring states to share personal info about voters who request mail-in or absentee ballots for federal elections. The comment period for the USPS rule change is open, so now it's time to act. Details here...

NEW: Hours after heated exchange with Trump, Sen Bill Cassidy (R-LA) joins Sen Cory Booker (D-NJ) in memo to Todd Blanche seeking answers about Trump’s sweetheart immunity deal with IRS

The Post Office would only deliver mail-in ballots if states turn over voter info to Trump's lackeys?? Uh, no. If this proposed rule takes effect, let the lawsuits begin... Aggressively.

If Congress doesn't act now, Social Security benefits could be cut by more than 20 percent after 2032. Senator Bernie Moreno and I have a bipartisan solution: lift the Social Security payroll tax cap. We need to save Social Security for the next generation. Let's get this done.

Anytime any respectable journalist mentions our two chief negotiators with Iran, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, they should note both receive sizeable paychecks from Middle Eastern nations with deep equities in these talks. It is a fundamental corruption.

Vance kicked to the curb? Iran is taking steps to cement its control over the Strait of Hormuz and to generate revenue from the waterway through new entities and procedures, experts say. The moves come even as negotiations with the US and Iran’s neighbors are taking place.

Interesting! A pilot program in California is building solar panels over irrigation canals to generate electricity. As a bonus, the shade prevents water from evaporating and dramatically reduces the growth of algae.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

The plan is for this plane to be in service for two years and then Trump will take if for himself. No President has ever stolen an Air Force for himself. And you paid for it. The total cost could be $1 billion of your money for a new luxury jet for Trump and his family.

So Bibi ain't the only one "frustrated" by the disastrous Trump "deal" with Iran. Arab allies are equally "frustrated" (read: pissed as hell) that the MOU contained nothing about Iranian restrictions on drones, ballistic missiles, etc.

Netanyahu gets his comeuppance. His blowhard pal Trump couldn't handle the job he was supposed to take on...so now look what you've got, Bibi.

Going out to walk my dog folks but will be back late afternoon to check through the #BirdOfTheDay entries. Please share a smile with people you meet. A Winter Blackbird #Black #birds #photography #ECK

Ukraine's aerial assaults on a key Moscow refinery were the latest in a series of drone strikes that have demonstrated Ukraine’s growing ability to pierce Russia’s air defenses. This comes after years during which large Russian cities were mostly insulated from the fighting across the border.

You can read the actual Trump-Iran Memorandum of Understanding here. I can only imagine what you'll think of it. 😏

NEW: House Oversight Democrats have launched an investigation into reports that Stephen Miller pushed suspending habeas corpus. The inquiry, obtained by MeidasTouch, demands White House records and orders officials to preserve all related communications.

OMG, this is worth a read. It's apparently Iran's response to Trump's announcement of a deal, though we don't know if Iran's description of the details is Trump's understanding. If it is, he completely failed at his own objectives and this "deal" is a total dud. Stay tuned...

Never fear... Mother Nature is here. 😎 And while she can be fickle, too, the weather report for tonight in DC, when this UFC travesty begins, is: "Scattered thunderstorms during the evening. Storms may contain strong gusty winds. Chance of rain 60%." Let's go, Madame!!

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 53 YEARS, THE KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS 🏆 New York defeats San Antonio 4-1 in the NBA Finals, capturing their third championship in franchise history!

“We are deeply disturbed to learn so many senior members of the Trump administration gathered in the Situation Room to discuss the release of the Epstein Files as a reputational problem… we are separately concerned Todd Blanche was at that table.”

Lol... This soon-to-be Trump name removal from the Kennedy Center is generating funny responses, and particularly from those there awaiting the actual moment with glee. 🤩

This is terrible news for every American who doesn't want Trump-aligned billionaires to control what they watch and how much they pay. The Paramount-Warner Bros. deal has reeked of corruption and influence-peddling. This fight isn't over. State AGs must block this merger.
