In a written statement with a photo, Mitch McConnell says he was “briefly unconscious” after his fall last month but did not suffer a heart attack or stroke. He says he’s recovering in a rehabilitation center after developing pneumonia and won’t return to the Senate floor until doctors clear him.

Exclusive: Sen. Schiff’s office says newly uncovered documents show even more taxpayer money went toward giant Trump banners on federal buildings in DC.

Trump announces the reinstatement of the “Iranian Blockade,” claims the U.S. will control security in the Strait of Hormuz and charge a 20% fee on cargo passing through it, underscoring how the war has now become focused on the opening the waterway Iran controls and recently shut down.

BREAKING: A federal judge just nullified Trump’s $1.776 billion IRS “settlement,” ruling it had “no viable basis in law or fact,” finding there was never a real legal dispute, and referring Trump’s attorney to The Florida Bar for possible discipline.

The Qatari jet’s overhaul was scheduled to be finished in 2028. After the AF sunk $400mn into refurb, it was put into rotation as one of (now) 3 planes to be used for AF1 (Qatar AF1). If the SS deemed it to be a NAT SEC issue, trump jumped the gun & used it before it was secured. Will heads roll?

According to the Times, some subpoenas were delivered by federal agents at the journalists’ homes. The newspaper called it a “brazen act” and warned it is an attempt to intimidate reporters and undermine press freedom.

“That’s just the way it is” is how injustice survives. @katiephang.bsky.social explains why we should never accept it. Read her latest:

Wow: Trump says he just finished yet another physical at Walter Reed and has requested another cognitive exam as rumors and evidence continue to pile up about his declining health and mental state.

We are forced to exist in a world where the same people who believe a man built a boat big enough for every animal don't believe in climate science because it’s “unproven.”

I wanted a “Live Laugh Love” sign, but accuracy matters.

The Audible version is just one long exhausted sigh.

We‘re one executive order away from a chocolate fountain.

“Praise be to Allah” is an unexpected little garnish on the apocalypse platter.

It's the presidential equivalent of getting socks for Christmas when you wanted a Corvette.

Other than legal accountability the best way to punish the Republican Party for the Trump Era would be to put tax rates back to the pre-Reagan era. Just send a giant fuck you to our corporate overlords and their political cult. Post anything here: interactink.vercel.app

If you didn’t show up to work for a month and didn’t call your boss or coworkers… you’d be fired. Mitch McConnell is dead. Time to fire him. Post anything here: interactink.vercel.app

Not a day goes by that Donald Trump doesn’t remind us that he’s the shittiest person on the planet.

If it turns out Mitch McConnell is dead and the GOP are involved in a coverup to prevent a special election that is mandated by Kentucky law, people need to go to prison. Full stop.

RFKjr is taking care of the sick, disabled, & aged. DHS is ridding us of refugees & immigrants. Now Trump is calling anyone left of Atilla a communist, and Antifa refuses to bow.

The Strait of Hormuz can still jolt global equity markets in an afternoon. The more the world talks about moving beyond oil, the more politically uncomfortable that fact becomes. A new issue examines why the old framing keeps failing us. Read the issue

Tesla just posted a 25% sales jump after months of stagnation headlines. The number is almost beside the point. What it really revived is the story — and stories move capital. Read the issue

Yeah, we know. We’ve been saying that for 18 months.

Chukwu: The Senate gets one chance—one chance—to consider the information that we are asking for to decide whether Todd Blanche should become the nation’s chief law enforcement officer. That is what we are pushing for in this litigation. And DOJ is trying to do everything it can to stop us.

MacFarlane: Welcome back to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which has retained its very swampy, green-like color. It’s still fenced off. It’s still inaccessible. It’s still not in its best shape. It is reflecting again, but it’s almost like it’s quarantined in its green-like state.

Trump told you he’d run America like a business. He is. It’s called asset stripping. You go in, sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, & walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag. Venture capitalist politics. Post anything here: interactink.vercel.app

ReneeGood should still be alive. Alex Pretti should still be alive. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should still be alive. Ruben Ray Martinez should still be alive. Silverio Villegas González should still be alive. Keith Porter Jr. should still be alive. They should all still be alive.

If you think someone who doesn't have paperwork deserves to die, you’re a shitty fucking person.

When are Republicans going to start calling for Ken Paxton to drop out?

Trump just said the ballroom will be missile proof. It’s fucking made of glass. There’s no such thing as missile proof glass. The bunker under it will be very secure, but also not missile proof.

More ships attacked. Folks have to understand that Iran really has no incentive to negotiate in good faith - they know Trump wants this war to end, and they have all the leverage. They’re going to take what money they can get and drag out the political pain for Trump as long as possible.

Just a heads up. If Collins wins in Maine, the only person to blame is Platner. He should have dropped out earlier. End of story.

AF Major Jason Watson understood that he was going to face discipline & discharge for his protest in uniform. But what he did wasn’t nearly as bad as Scheller, who only got a $5,000 fine, a discharge, and later REWARDED with a DOD appointment from Hegseth. taskandpurpose.com/news/pentago...

Thanks Trump.

Iran War disaster. Knicks game loss. Hail at Mt. Rushmore on July 3. Sandstorm in DC on July 4. 4-1 World Cup loss. Trump is like a traveling pestilence.

While most leaders spend their pre-speech hours reviewing briefings or touching up remarks, Trump was busy doing what he does best: consuming his own press.

Mitch McConnell’s wife reportedly traveled to China just three days after he received CPR following an apparent heart attack.

On July 4th, the man who incited January 6th does not get to lecture the rest of us about saving democracy or what it means to be patriotic.

Former CIA Director John Brennan has formally sued the current government, demanding that they retain all files related to the political investigation against him. It seems everyone keeps records; it's just a matter of seeing who gets exposed first.
