A health inspector has flagged the Trump National Golf Club Hudson Valley in Hopewell Junction, NY, for a "critical violation" at its restaurant, according to inspection records. The violation stems from the restaurant having "food from [an] unapproved source, spoiled, adulterated on premises."

The President just said we're on the cusp of a deal with Iran. Today's post explores two fun facts: 1. It's the fiftieth time he's said this. (I counted!) 2. Even so, stocks rose on the news. newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/how-to-pri...

Private schools - in Iowa, Arkansas and other states embracing the school voucher folly - know a gravy train when they see one. Taxpayers are left paying for the gravy. #arpx #arleg #arnews iowastartingline.com/news/private...

It’s official: the rooftop of the David Dinkins Municipal Building is now open — and free for all New Yorkers and visitors alike. Come one, come all!

Thousands of Southern Baptists overwhelmingly voted to advance a formal ban on women pastors. Why are mediocre men convinced that an all-powerful God can handle anything except a woman with a microphone and in a leadership role? #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks apnews.com/article/sout...

YES. WOW!! Thank you, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social advocating for ADDING SEATS to the Supreme Court because term limits don't go far enough. THIS is what will get my vote in 2028. No good law passed will survive this rogue Supreme Court.

This was the audition for DNI. He got the part. ⬇️

Hehehe. Take that, dickwad.

Gwyneth Paltrow is paid $10 million to promote the sale of luxury condominiums in Israel. She was paid $588 for each of the 17,000 children killed in Gaza. What a disgrace to Hollywood, to Judaism, to women and to humanity!

Did everyone know 24 billion in tariff money was just handed back? Probably not since big corporations were the ones who were paying for the tariffs, passed them down to us and then they got money back, not us It's just another Trump Grift

My gf has roped a load of churches into getting their members to collect a load of food that can then be distributed to those who need it across Belfast. Many are afraid to leave their houses, even to get food. People have been delivering food to strangers since this started.

My "News Media in the Misinformation Age" talk last night in Charlestown, RI was in a small library in a very small town (pop. is around 1,650). When I pulled up, I wasn't optimistic about the turnout. But we wound up having ~20 attendees & a great convo. I snapped a pic before we started. 🥹🥹

They came here fleeing persecution; rather than give them refuge, Marco Rubio’s state department will send them to die in countries they’ve never been to. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/w...

In upsetting news you may have missed - ~40 detainees in a California concentration camp have been on a hunger strike since *mid-May* Their demands? Basic rights: access to clean food and water and adequate medical care This is happening in our country. We should all be ashamed.

We have no idea just how far behind the United States will be in 2028. We'll have nothing: no national science infrastructure, no agricultural progress, no medical progress. The oligarch class has decided to hollow America out in a hedge fund takeover. We are being robbed of our future.

It'll never be not weird that the only elections that are fraudulent are the ones that Republicans lose.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is shutting down after more than five decades, and U.S. Sen. Susan Collins had the chance to stop it. mainebeacon.com/collins-cave...

Don't worry, FIFA will pay the city of Los Angeles in exposure.

Hawaii just passed the first state law in the country banning corporations from making political donations in state elections. Now a Koch-backed legal group is suing to overturn it. Big Money won't get out of our politics without a fight — one that we the people must win. (via @levernews.com)

Bergum's BS about offshore wind farms being a national security issue is absurd & absolute gaslighting. If your military hasn't solved for wind farms in preventing attacks you fuckin deserve to be attacked. Yes the US military has solved for wind farms years ago. Wind turbines don't kill whales. JFC

Who knows what the President meant when he said he loves the inflation - but it's clear that inflation keeps getting worse, while he stays focused on anything but the cost of living.

me: hey can I expense $10 to make a spreadsheet employer: Absolutely not me: hey can I spend $10 worth of company tokens to have ChatGPT make a shitty spreadsheet I will have to put even more work into to fix manually employer: yes 💖

Day 12 Tirana Albania: the streets as packed with protesters, it’s a multi-generational event that transcends all the Albanian society as a whole. Hands off Albania! 🇦🇱

1/ There’s a quiet army you probably haven’t heard about. Hundreds of retired federal judges, appointed by presidents of both parties, are coming off the sidelines to defend our courts and our democracy. What they’re doing should give you real hope. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Day 12 Tirana Albania — The protesters are back outside of the Prime Minister’s residence. The Flamingo Revolution is demanding new elections and the protection of their land.

In reality, y’all loathed Obama because you’re r*cist. We loathe Trump because he’s r*cist. Qasim Rashid

"Famously vengeful Knicks owner Jim Dolan has long spied on people at his iconic arenas. We went deep inside the operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more. www.wired.com/story/madiso... bsky.app/profile/wire...

I honestly don't understand the gamesmanship Dolan is engaged in with Mamdani and this whole MSG watch party situation. To what end? Just wants to mess with Mamdani because he doesn't like him? Has some other angle? The whole thing is bizarre. @thecity.nyc ?

News: A Manhattan magistrate judge has determined Brad Lander is NOT GUILTY of obstructing elevators and an elevator lobby at 26 Federal Plaza while demanding access to ICE detention cells last summer

This will end real fine.

Our President started a war with Iran and openly admits he doesn’t care about the financial concerns of Americans—but Americans are paying a steep price. The President was elected to address the affordability crisis, but he’s only made it worse.

The city of Whittier will "not stand for tyranny!" Tell them, mayor. 👏

ABOLISH AND PROSECUTE ICE. THERE IS NO MOVING FORWARD WITHOUT TRIALS.

Fucking ICE arresting people in Baltimore outside a preschool graduation www.thebanner.com/education/k-...

Hilarious that incompetent, ignorant yokel Markwayne Mullin thinks New Yorkers would side with him over the wildly popular Mamdani.

The Onion collectively inheriting the Oracle of Delphi is such a wonderful skill

Justice for Leqaa Kordia and all victims of ICE who have been targeted for speaking out against genocide and injustice. We will continue to say abolish ICE today, tomorrow, and for as long as it takes. Thank you @reprashida.govpeeps.us for convening us.

Republicans are going to spend hundreds of billions that we don’t have to fund Trump’s endless war and line the pockets of the military industrial complex, which now includes members of Trump’s family. Nothing for you, but a fortune for war.
