John Thune is 6’4”. The White House released the results of Trump’s physical stating he is 6’3”. That’s a pretty big inch. thedailybeast.com/trump-80-has...

NSPM-7 is a perversion of law and Constitutional rights.

Tulsi Gabbard's loudly trumpeted attacks on Dr Fauci rest on data and documents that don't say what she claims they say. So why is she doing this? Let's have another look at the instructions she was taking from her "highest guru," shall we?

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

The irony is heavier than he is

At least 222 recruits at Lackland Air Force Base have been diagnosed with the flu; four hospitalized The outbreak is unfolding two months after Hegseth made the annual flu shot optional for troops, scrapping the military's requirement for it, which dates to 1945

In discussing the corruption surrounding the Trump administration, Swan raises a chilling point. He estimates we likely only know "1%, maybe 5%" of what's really going on. zurl.co/ISfeZ

NEW: Texas middle schoolers could be taught about a Christian revolutionary war movement that never existed. The so-called “Black Robe Regiment” is a favorite myth of David Barton and other Christian nationalists who are leading massive revisions of Texas curricula to focus on US “exceptionalism.”

As the Roberts Court is likely about to overturn a landmark century-old precedent — Humphrey's Executor — in favor of a unitary executive theory that the President can fire members of independent agencies at will ... This recent historical piece by the Michael Dreeben is excellent context.

Went looking for the 300 foot “slit” or “slits” in the reflecting pool Trump keeps lying about. Didn’t find any of that. But did find plenty of signs the paint on the bottom of the pool has simply disintegrated. My latest pool report.

What utter bs. All this the nprm's I've seen make it frictionless to comment. Not this one. So I emailed my comment and was pretty matter of fact straight forward with my comments.

I've made the mistake of listening to a lot of Peter Thiel interviews recently to try to understand his worldview. The guy is an absolute third-rate thinker who contradicts himself every 30 seconds and nobody pushes him on it.

Please read and call. Flood the zone.

Sen. Peters: "Yes or no, if a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list over to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposed rule?" Postmaster General David Steiner: "Under our proposed regulation, no."

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

So Scientific American did an article on the hydrogen peroxide they added to the algae pool… Turns out the “expert” they got to weigh in has a bachelor in Sports Management and is named Tim. Tim has some ‘splaining to do

They’re putting up a fence around the reflecting pool to keep out the imaginary vandals. 🙄

Federal sentencing has started. Zachary Evetts was just sentenced to 50 years by Chief District Judge Reed O'Connor. Maricela Rueda was just sentenced to 840 months / 70 years by Judge Mark Pittman.

“.. Since the end of the Great Recession in 2009, only the top 0.1% of U.S. households have seen their wealth increase--from about $5.8 trillion to $25.1 trillion in the first quarter of 2026.” - Schwab

This is important.

Secretaries of state are condemning the Trump administration’s latest reported attempt to exert control over elections by withholding homeland security funds from states unless they adopt draconian changes to their election procedures. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

EXCLUSIVE: Eli Lilly gave compassionate use access to retatrutide, their unapproved powerful obesity drug, to a 79-year-old man in April. The application was arranged by a top doctor at NIH, and cleared by the FDA. www.statnews.com/2026/06/23/e...

Warner: Pulte could claim, whether there’s a source of intelligence or not, that China is going to do X. He could claim that there might be a terrorist threat around polling stations. All of it could be used as an excuse to try to shut down the election.

The facts of this case are bad. County wrongly claimed family owed $2,000 in taxes, foreclosed on the home, and sold a house it assessed at $190K for just $76K and tried (unsuccessfully) to keep all $76K. Screwed a family out of tens of thousands to collect $2,000 that they didn't actually owe.

And it just so happens that DOJ dropped the charges against Adani a few months later.

STAT News asked whether Trump is the single then-79 year old patient who got privileged access to an Eli Lilly obesity drug. No one would deny it. www.statnews.com/2026/06/23/e...

Trump shut down a criminal investigation into clemency granted to a convicted fraudster. David Gentile ran a $1.6 billion scheme that defrauded thousands of mom-and-pop investors. Trump freed him after less than two weeks in prison and spared his illicit gains. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/21/u...

I would like a side-by-side account of the cost of: the Iran war, the reflecting pool, the ballroom, the Qatari plane, the WWE fight; DOJ settlement payoffs (like to Ashli Babbitt) and any other vanity projects I'm missing; compared with all of the "waste and fraud" supposedly saved by the DOGE cuts

WOW!! JD Vance got the Iranians to AGREE to the SAME thing we had under OBAMA in the agreement that TRUMP pulled out of! All it took was months of war, 300 billion to Iran, and one of the biggest US capitulations in history. ART OF THE DEAL, BABY!!

Damn they know how to hurt him

For those not familiar, there is an incredible project called the Immigration Policy Tracking Project which has exhaustively catalog all immigration policy changes in Trump’s first and second terms. immpolicytracking.org

But we already lifted all sanctions on Iranian oil.

We gave Iran a massive concession they want very badly up front in advance in exchange for a promise to allow inspectors in again with zero specifics about when, how, or what sites they will be allowed to see. This is insanity.

I miss the old door.

Very interesting paper finds that when South Korea suspended its “low-skilled” guest worker program, the result was not a rise in wages for native Koreans doing those jobs, it was the opposite; current employees got reassigned to those jobs and took pay cuts and firms went under.

Let’s check in on how Jared and Ivanka’s luxury Albanian resort is doing…

Republican backers of Trump’s signature domestic policy bill repeatedly claimed that revisions to the food benefits program wouldn’t affect the most vulnerable. But reports from a dozen states show children are losing access.

The Iranian Foreign Minister makes Vance wait, then when he arrives he refuses to shake Vance’s hand or greet him. The US has never looked smaller or weaker on the world stage.

There is no one in the Trump administration qualified to negotiate with the Iranians. Especially on the plutonium issue. #Iran #USA

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂
