NEW: Trump admitted he directed a top federal prosecutor to "take a look" into California's recent gubernatorial primary because he feared his preferred candidate wouldn't advance in the race. The comment marks the clearest evidence yet of Trump's weaponization of the DOJ to interfere in elections.

Pennsylvania voters on both sides of the aisle don’t believe Trump is doing anything to ease the “pain” they feel at the grocery store or at the gas pump. And somehow, some are still undecided. 🤷🏽‍♂️

The growing wave of progressive populists understand that raising taxes on billionaires is overwhelmingly popular — 77% of voters support doing so, including 71% of Independents and 65% of Republicans.

SpaceX shares have now officially crashed below their $150 IPO launch price

Mamdani: When I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region. And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept.

Today I signed an Executive Order for every worker exposed to extreme heat on the job. It requires multilingual heat safety guidance for workers, a review of construction site heat safety practices, and heat illness prevention plans at every mayoral agency.

There’s nothing like the sweet smell of failure in the morning.

MacFarlane: You have a smell that's emanating now that is reminiscent of a high school locker room. You have a police force and National Guard presence that is profound. It's like a jewel heist from the muppet caper is going to happen. It seems to be a misappropriation of resources.

"Trump’s DOJ is claiming it has the right to intervene to make sure that federal law is not enforced at all." @audrelawdamercy.blacksky.app

"In short order, SpaceX has become the sixth-most valuable public company despite the fact that it posted a net loss of $4.94 billion last year on $18.7 billion in revenue." Good luck when the correction comes!

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

This is the kind of love you can’t buy by engraving your name on a building.

New York: We’ve got a big crowd celebrating our Knicks. Bus service is suspended in much of lower Manhattan. Subways are skipping stations. Text NOTIFYNYC to 692-692 to receive the most updated information regarding safety and transportation. Find updated train and bus information at mta.info.

This kind-of secret Thiel-founded network of billionaires and weirdos, what does it mean, I don't know, but I hear there's goat yoga and NDAs flaminghydra.com/issue-588/

@maddow.bsky.social @motherjones.com @theguardian.com WTH?

Why does a secret "memorandum of understanding" feel exactly like the unreleased Epstein files.

Can we PLEASE get religious leaders out of politics? PLEASE?

Going on foreign soil and announcing, without *any* evidence that American elections are dishonest—simply because you are a lying sore loser—should be an impeachable offense. Presidents should not be allowed to intentionally undermine confidence in the US to leaders overseas.

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

Warnock: Right before they passed that ugly bill that cut $1 trillion out of medicaid, the Speaker of the House joined with other legislators and said a prayer, and then they went and voted for that bill. I just want to know what was in that prayer.

Fk Oklahoma! These stupid goddamn people drank the Fearaid and bought the propaganda bullshit so now many will go on not surviving on $7.25 an hour. nondoc.com/2026/06/16/s...

So to recap: — Russia owns Trump — China owns Trump — Israel owns Trump — Iran owns Trump — Epstein files cite him 1M+ times that we know of — Inflation is 40% higher than when Trump came in office — Unemployment is 9% higher than when Trump came in office Problem is—Trump doesn't care. Why? 1/3

JD Vance went on The View to sell his book and ended up begging six women to stop asking about Epstein, Trump, race, the economy, and that whole ‘America’s Hitler’ thing. “I’m here to sell books, please!” 🫠 #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AmUgXDAiSS52...

I really do think the majority of the worlds politicians are in the Epstein files but America is doing a cover up

The Knicks belong to New York City. And this championship belongs to the people who waited 53 years for it. That’s why we’re giving away 600 free tickets to Thursday’s Championship Ceremony at City Hall following the ticker-tape parade.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES 😡

I suggest Congress stop being scared of Trump and start being scared of the American people… Because, we are fucking DONE! 😎✨

Yeah, but Jarvanka are still convinced their money & connections will outlast the protests. Keep it up, Albanians!

Albania's “Flamingo Revolution” has targeted the real estate dreams of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner

"Epstein had apparently bought into a eugenic fantasy, telling scientists and guests that he wanted to re-seed humankind with his own DNA"

Actually, that is quite good 🤣 Well done England fans!

ART2Section4“The President,Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States,shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for,and Conviction of,Treason,Bribery,or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”Get the whole gang!If not us,WHO?If not NOW,WHEN?OUR CONSTITUTION IS DYING!OR IS IT TOO LATE?

NEW: Pope Leo XIV’s new archbishop of New York, Ronald Hicks, celebrates the Knicks’ title with Mayor Zohran Mamdani at the city’s Puerto Rican festival.

The fascism is here to stay until we end it by force. The time has come for a new constitutional convention.

If true, that’s not a ceasefire. That’s a bribe.

How many pallets of cash is $300 billion? Asking for a friend

As always, your regular reminder that despite having every law enforcement agency of the federal government and billions of dollars worth of surveillance tools available to them, the Trump admin has managed to find a grand total of zero (0) "paid agitators."

More and more Michiganders are struggling because of the decisions of this president who's throwing himself a birthday party. It just rings 'let them eat cake,' when people are saying, 'let me buy gas.'
