Just an idea: maybe instead of mistrusting doctors, scientists, and data, let’s start aiming that mistrust at RFK Jr. and other ill-informed “healthfluencers.” Thanks.

Russia destroyed the newly opened National Chornobyl Museum in Ukraine

It’s 100% a national security crisis and should be treated as such. POTUS is falling asleep on camera multiple times a week, and the GOP is (publicly) pretending like everything is fine. Privately, they’re panicking, but they’re also cowards, so they won’t say or do anything about it.

Are you following Hunter Biden over on X? He’s pretty entertaining.

I’m mostly thankful that I’m not a Maine voter at this point. Platner is a shitshow. But Susan Collins has done irreparable damage to our nation with her dithering and her ‘concern’ This is unfortunately going to be a vote of the least bad option, and Platner will at least hold Trump accountable.

I don’t know that she’ll actually resign. I think she knows she’s the only one keeping the administration halfway on the rails. To be fair, everyone should be pissed about Pulte. He used private financial information to go after Trump’s enemies, what will he do with our most sensitive secrets?

This is not the most important issue of the day, but have you heard any more about Susie Wiles resigning because Trump is appointing Pulte over her strenuous objections? This White House will likely go off the rails entirely without her. Also, have a great weekend! You deserve it.💙

No, it’s not bad. I get it. The thing that bums me out is that the government has been planning massive 250th celebrations for a long time now (years). It was supposed to be bipartisan and a win for the entire country. Instead it’s turned into another Trump rally and UFC on the South Lawn.

Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo

Watching Hunter speak so directly now, I wonder if he was given the same dogshit “shut up and say nothing” advice that so many others who went through political smear campaigns heard over the last few years. Advice from the 1990s.

the story of our age is basically "donald trump fucking everything up for everybody"

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis to CNBC on Bill Pulte: "I don't think he has a prayer" of being confirmed by the Senate.

NEW: The chair of the President’s Cancer Panel, Dr. Harvey Risch, is a co-author on a study touting ivermectin for cancer. The study is backed by two anti-vax orgs, including The Wellness Company, which sells the drug and with which he is affiliated. www.importantcontext.news/p/chair-of-p...

NEWS The SPLC demans a hearing to determine whether a judge should sanction prosecutors for allegedly violating grand jury secrecy by sending a draft of the superseding indictment to the press before it was docketed. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Watch all the Republican senators fall in line to confirm Blanche because he “canceled” the slush fund (though he won’t put that in writing) but allowed the Trump tax immunity to remain.

BREAKING: John Bolton plea deal! Bolton will plead guilty to one felony count of illegal retention of national security documents and pay a $2M fine. Donald was indicted on over 40 counts of the same crime. www.cnn.com/2026/06/04/p...

🧵🧊 SAN DIEGO: A source tells me that after a court ordered an ICE prison to allow local health officials access, many of the migrants there were transferred north to facilities near Bakersfield... (continued)

If my math is right, the crime rate for pardoned insurrectionists is roughly three times higher than that of immigrants.

While Russia bombs apartment buildings and murders civilians daily, the US will play a hockey game in Russia to “melt the ice between us.”

Senate Republicans just started a marathon voting session known as vote-a-rama in the Senate. Not to improve your life. Not to lower your costs. But to funnel $70 billion more to ICE and the abuses I saw at Delaney Hall. Not another dime.

NEW: Ballroom donors have won more than $50B in government contracts according to watchdog group @publiccitizen.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Hunter Biden spending his whole day every day on Twitter being like "I'm not a pedophile, I was smoking crack with ADULT hookers at the Super 8 outside of Newark, you guys have pictures of all of it INCLUDING my hog from My Leaked Stolen Laptop™" is a masterstroke. Should've done this years ago.

I like Hunter Biden. 😎👍

For comparison, turnout in the 2018 primary was 37% and in 2022 it was 33%. 2014 was 25%, and 2010 and 2006 were 33%. This is the highest midterm primary turnout in decades.

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?

Trump just all but admitted he wants his DNI (who wields the enormous powers of the national security state) to help him steal the midterms. Seems like that should be a big deal.

Interesting. Not gonna do anything, but notable defections at least.

Staggering levels of corruption. They’re using every possible lever of power to enrich themselves and their friends and families. And the “party of fiscal responsibility” simply doesn’t care.

HOME 🇺🇦❤️

Clarence Thomas has tremendous voting power, and he uses it to erase the voting power of millions of other Black Americans. Clearly, the wrong people are in charge.

- story leaks - White House calls it fake news - Trump confirms the initial story - White House pretends they never denied it - repeat

This is untenable. You can’t have a “ceasefire” where missiles are launched every day and civilians are being killed at airports. Rubio told Congress the war was over *yesterday* The administration needs to be honest with the American people. This is pathetic.

how does any body expect cbs to speak truth to power when they absolutely are unable to handle having truth being spoken to power in a private meeting lol

Fascists demand civility

Scott Pelley atood on business, and told those clowns at CBS the truth. He helped make 60 Minutes the respected, high quality show it was before Bari Weiss showed up. She's RUINED the show. She's ruined the station. FUCK @CBS. I stand with Scott Pelley. 🙏💪🏽

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."

Trump and the Republican Congress are costing Illinois over $8 billion. Money for your schools, roads, and hospitals is being used to fund ICE, tax cuts for the wealthy, and a golden ballroom. Here in Illinois, we're persevering to help working families and deliver real relief.

So the order shielding Trump from audits-- hich some estimate as worth in the billions --will remain. But what does that mean? Did they just decide to do it for his birthday? It's part of the settlement agreement (actually an afterthought). If agreement is bogus--and it is--so is that provision.

In a world full of Jake Tappers, be a Scott Pelley.

We are run by an incompetent, corrupt Mob Family. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

With the appointment of Bill Pulte Donald Trump just put us all in danger. An upcoming FISA vote could make it worse.

If Trump didn’t disgust you enough yet today - he just hired an insurrectionist for a highly sensitive position at the Pentagon. Top secret security clearance and all. Yes - an insurrectionist who was convicted for their roll in the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

⚡Zelensky plans to attend G7 summit in France, Politico reports. President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to join leaders of the Group of Seven nations at the June 15-17 summit in Evian-les-Bains, France.

Trump during the campaign on Feb 2, 2023 to Fox: “I will end that war in 24 hours. It won’t even be hard. You have to get them both in a room. And there are things you can say to them, which I won’t reveal now, which will guarantee that this war will end immediately.”
