It doesn’t matter who’s in charge. FISA 702 can’t be renewed without real reforms. Case in point: Trump’s latest nominee for director of national intelligence was peddling election conspiracies just a few days ago.

Props to CNN’s chyron writer:

Release the Epstein Files, of course, but spare a thought for a trafficking empire of possibly equal scale, involving Trump, his admin, & foreign gov't leaders, *happening right now.* You knew Tate was a creep. But it's bigger than that. Heidi Blake reports. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Didn't see this reported anywhere but it feels like it's worth noting that Chaya Raichik (Libs of TikTok) said she met with Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon on June 4 and they aired out their grievances over "gender ideology" in schools. Not ideal.

China's "campaign of oppression against Uyghurs and their culture and identity has in fact entered a new phase. While many camps have shut, a vast network of prisons and detention centres remains, alongside pervasive surveillance and systems of coercive social control" www.ft.com/content/119d...

why is the national parks guy talking about autonomous drones evading radar

Does anyone else think it’s just a bit odd that Jay Clayton, the prosecutor put in charge of the Epstein investigation, the same one Pam Bondi pointed to over and over in her testimony released just last week, was just nominated by Trump to run the entire intelligence community?

Down goes Pulte. Another loss for DJT.

Judge Michael Luttig: “It is not possible to say today that America is governed by the rule of law.”

For weeks, the activist disappeared from all tracking systems. The best Muhammad’s supporters could ascertain by early April was that they had been transferred to a “confidential location.” interc.pt/4ek7IQQ

Haha, she might be onto something here. 😆

This is a real thing Donald J Trump said yesterday. Now we are putting it up on hundreds of billboards across the country. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Ukrainian drone forces are methodically grinding down bridges connecting the Russian-occupied parts of Kherson with the occupied peninsula of Crimea. The bridge in Chonhar has already been critically hit. Russians moved pontoon bridges to bypass it, but Ukrainians continue to strike this area.

An impressive video showing the striking of the bridge in Armiansk, Crimea, Ukraine. The bridge is now clearly out of order. The video also shows the striking of several Russian trucks. It confirms that the Russian occupation in Crimea is increasingly under severe pressure.

Aside from the bridges, Ukrainian forces are grinding down Russian logistics in sector. The commander of the 1st Separate Assault Regiment of the Ukrainian Army, Filatov, reports that Ukrainian drones attacked around 50 Russian trucks carry fuel and ammunition in the Armiansk area, Crimea, Ukraine.

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇

There's something distinctly medieval about the US aggression against Iran. It's aimless wandering the countryside (or in this case, the skies) and hitting things without any clear objective. It's more like a prolonged raiding campaign. A chevauchée.

Some planner at CENTCOM just yeeted a slide deck printout titled something like “Operation Freedom’s Epic Crusader Sword” against the wall in anger that Trump gave up the surprise. The INDOPACOM guys are just in the bathroom crying while hugging their TLAM plushies.

Dear democratic leaders: I see you are huddling up to brainstorm ideas to prevent Trump from stealing the 2026 election. I’d recommend lining up Dem attorneys generals to flood media to make it clear they will swiftly prosecute Trump and all Gopers involved from members of Congress to locals.

Hey fellas, we are being infiltrated… This fresh NSFW account followed me and has ‘NAFO fella’ in the bio but not a single NAFO or Ukraine related post or reply, only sexual stuff! Block recommendation… #NAFO #SpotTheTroll #NAFOarticle5

It's worth noting that no major news outlet of the Oligarchs pushed out an above-the-fold headline stating, "Trump says he loves inflation." I guess they don't consider the statement newsworthy.

Do you like your frozen conflict martini shaken or stirred, Mr. Bond? 😎 More seriously, "This was identified early on as the likely outcome." www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Conservatives cling to a past that never existed and feel they have the right to enforce their delusional world view on everyone else

Good morning team. There are reports both that Trump will deploy ground troops to Iran and that an agreement is close. In other words, a double Groundhog Day.

This, like everything else associated with this illegal, ill-considered, misbegotten fiasco, will not end well or achieve any of the "goals" Trump may have. Indeed, it will only make things worse. Because that's all Trump knows how to do.

Steven Cash explains that the “if you haven’t done anything wrong” defense collapses when those in power can redefine political dissent as wrongdoing.

Steady State’s John Sipher warns that Pulte would politicize intelligence, undermine professionalism, and risk weaponizing classified information to serve Trump’s personal and political interests rather than national security. zurl.co/RRb3H

Taking Kharg Island means US troops on the ground. This has the potential to get very bad. *If* he’s not talking his usual bullshit.

ICE has killed more than 50 people while they were in custody since the beginning of Trump‘s second term.

One of my latest ever starts to a daily thread, but this is the beginning of my daily Ukraine thread, for Day 1568 of Russia's all-out attempt to end Ukraine's 35 years of independence from Moscow. All the news, every single day.

Just pause for a second and ponder how insanely stupid this sounds: Donald Trump and Republicans are claiming the entire California election was rigged because Spencer Pratt lost in the bluest city in California. ☠️😭🤣
