A new state has taken center stage in Trump’s assault on free and fair elections: California. Rather than viewing the time that careful ballot counting requires as a sign of integrity, Marc Elias says, Trump seeks to weaponize it with false claims of fraud. https://bit.ly/4ec9ymv

Sounds more like a collision than an intentional attack. At least pretty remarkable if Shaheds can now take down Apache helicopters.

🚨BREAKING: Pamela Evette, Trump’s pick in South Carolina’s GOP governor race, advanced to a runoff. Evette is running on an extreme anti-voting platform — and could help revive Republican efforts to weaken Black voting power through gerrymandering.

"It is hard to wrap your head around how big a billion is, let alone a trillion, so it’s worth pausing to really take in just how obscene this sum is," writes Arwa Mahdawi. "If you spent $1m every single day it would take you more than 2,700 years to spend a trillion dollars."

We have to get rid of all the loopholes.

Openly Queer Canadians have served as mayors, cabinet ministers, senators, and premiers — because again and again, 2SLGBTQI+ people refused to accept a system that did not see you, hear you, or reflect you.

An Iraqi soccer player was detained for hours when he arrived here for the World Cup. A Somali referee was outright denied entry. Iran's team is not allowed to stay in the U.S. The World Cup is supposed to bring the world together. Instead, Trump is using it as an excuse to be racist and cruel.

Goodnight Blue Sky

🔥 “You are a LIAR.” MUST-WATCH — @charlesmblow.bsky.social humiliates Hal Lambert on national TV, as he continues to peddle Trump’s voter fraud LIE 🤥 (now in California) while also admitting he has no proof.

Major news in the California governor race: – Gavin Newsom officially endorses Xavier Becerra – Tom Steyer concedes and throws his support behind Becerra: "It would be a travesty for Steve Hilton to win the governorship, and Californians must unite behind Xavier Becerra to ensure he does not."

The Russian military's monthly vehicle losses have more than doubled since February. June will be even worse for Russia.

I really thought Mace posting 100+ times a day on Twitter was going to win her that governor’s race. Guess not.

BOOOOOOOOOOO

If you think tickets to the NBA finals are expensive, taxpayers probably paid $15M for this fat slob to fall asleep during the game.

Congratulations to Xavier Becerra. I am excited to offer him all the support I can as he sets out to become our state’s next governor, and I look forward to standing with him as California makes history by electing our first Latino governor in 150 years.

Iranian FM Araghchi: "Our Powerful Armed Forces will leave no attack or threat unanswered. Leave our region if you want to be safe."

Gave the Brexit documentary a miss. Decided I couldn't face a bunch of Old Etonians reminiscing about how they destroyed my country for larks, japes and giggles. Did I miss much?

Finally a journalist who had more balls than the entire press corps of the USA. It figures it would be a woman who we assume has no balls, which shows us that the so called "men" of the US press are capons, not roosters.

We’re gonna need a bigger Third Reconstruction.

You can't make this up: House Republicans just snuck a provision to help private jet owners avoid state and local taxes into a major AIR SAFETY bill! Instead of working to prevent another mid-air collision, the GOP is more concerned with making their wealthy donors even richer.

Platner: To any of those who feel let down or disappointed or disillusioned, it is my job to earn your trust, faith and support. And I will spend every day of this campaign and if I have the privilege every day in the United States senate doing exactly that

Hundreds of thousands of Albanians have been protesting for over a week to revolt against their corrupt govt as well as criminal slumlord traitor Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka for plotting to seize their land. Americans could learn a thing or two on how it’s done.

In case you forgot what it looks like when a real president gets the love at a game. You know, when the crowd actually wants the president there.

"The president is not well. He has tremendous difficulty staying awake on the job. He has repeatedly fallen asleep at Cabinet meetings, at White House events, at a Memorial Day ceremony, and most recently at a very loud NBA game last night."

If you can’t stay awake at work, you should be fired.

Raskin: This is not an administration that has a plan to lower gas prices. On the contrary, their illegal, unconstitutional war with Iran is driving them up. It’s a government that operates like The Sopranos. Like, what grift are they going to be able to get away with today?

Kuwait’s military says its air defense systems are intercepting hostile aerial targets as Iranian missiles and drones continue targeting Gulf states, prompting authorities to urge residents to follow safety guidance and rely on official information.

The people of Albania have been protesting the Trump family for 11 days straight because Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner want to build a $2 billion luxury resort on an environmentally sensitive coast site. Solidarity with the people of Albania standing up to billionaire greed. 🇦🇱 🎥 @olsimeraj on IG
