Some thoughts on the latest actions by Secretary Hegseth and the effects on a command I know well www.thebulwark.com/p/what-happe...

I just sent this out to Democracy Docket premium members, but in light of the Postmasters comments this morning threatening voting by mail, I felt it is urgent to post it online for everyone. Please read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/mail...

🚨BREAKING: Postmaster General David Steiner told senators that, under a new proposed rule, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will not deliver mail ballots unless states hand over their voter lists to the Trump administration www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is a beautiful thing. These shelter dogs get to pick their own toys.

I swear to god I thought this was fake www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...

Here at the Reflecting Pool where a big chunk ofTrump's blue paint-apoxie has peeled off the bottom of the pool and is bobbling in the water.

A recently leaked list of the members of a MAGA billionaire's secret society looks a lot like the Epstein files, one columnist warned.

The reviews are in for Trump's "Iran deal" and they are awful--and Im talking from Republicans: ‘This Makes Absolutely No Sense’: Fox’s Brian Kilmeade Torches Trump’s Iran Deal www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

The guardrails continue to fall. It is functionally impossible to regulate a bank owned by the president. Yet it can imperil the entire banking system if it runs off the rails. For heaven's sake, this has to be stopped.

There you have it: your tax dollars are paying for Trump's gold encrusted ballroom. Trump meant it when he said your financial situation is the last of his concerns.

If this is right, it amounts to a total U.S. capitulation that trades very specific benefits to Iran, some of which (total sanction waivers) take place immediately, for vagaries on nuclear materials ("will be adequately addressed") and the Strait (no mention of tolls/fees).

MS NOW EXCLUSIVE: Kash Patel may have a 'personal slush fund' of taxpayer dollars to pay loyalist agents, according to Rep. Jamie Raskin. Raskin is demanding documents from Patel — citing claims that $8,000 payments are made to agents who carry out "unlawful partisan and personal orders."

BREAKING: In a SCATHING statement, Major General (Ret.) Paul Eaton just called out Donald Trump's War In Iran for what it is: a complete and utter FAILURE.

🚨🚨

no really, i’m serious, why am i paying taxes if a trillionaire is getting billions and billions of dollars from the government? i can’t stop asking myself this question…

NEW: Jeffery Epstein continued to exploit women and associate with the rich and famous during his time in jail, an NBC News investigation shows.

Every word true.

CNN can argue that it needs to have a diversity of viewpoints on its channel, but I don’t think it can argue that it needs to have people arguing that it’s good to break the law

Mike Johnson Is Talking About Cutting Social Safety Net Programs — Again talkingpointsmemo.com/where-things...

For me as a Ukrainian, this feels like a kick in a stomach.

BREAKING: Judge Brinkema is giving the Trump admin one week to submit a sworn statement — signed by the Attorney General and Treasury Secretary — that the slush fund will not go forward.

* US JUDGE INDEFINITELY BLOCKS TRUMP'S ANTI-WEAPONIZATION FUND * US JUDGE SAYS WILL GIVE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ONE WEEK TO GIVE SWORN STATEMENT THAT FUND WILL NOT GO FROWARD @reuters.com

Breaking — Group of Epstein survivors announce opposition to Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination www.cnn.com/2026/06/11/p...

This is surreal. Trump’s inner circle—including his former attorney Todd Blanche and JD Vance—spent weeks bunkered down in the Situation Room debating what to do about the Epstein scandal. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/m...

Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years, reducing his sentence from 6 years to 1 day. He also doesn't have to register as a sex offender. The reason: the perp is Paxton's college roommate and a loyal and active MAGA Republican.

There are credible allegations made against Donald Trump that he mutilated a child’s nipples while raping her. Allegations so serious, his inner circle had to meet in the Situation Room to discuss them. I mean, how the fuck isn’t this the biggest scandal in the world right now?

Your daily reminder this should be the biggest scandal in American politics right now but nobody seems to care. Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years. He also doesnt have to register as a sex offender. www.texastribune.org/2026/05/19/k...

BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico: “I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.  That’s why I'm supporting you.”

For the umpteenth time: Donald Trump is the biggest crybaby, the biggest sore loser, the most easily triggered snowflake in all of human history. He is the very antithesis of a man.👇

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

"Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal. Six days later ...

You may think this is a far-fetched hypothetical. But remember: Lady Liberty isn't Donald Trump's type.

Trump’s 80th birthday is coming up and he’s extra desperate for attention. Instead, June 14 will be all about localized organizing around the nation: riseupsingout.com

A convicted January 6 rioter hired by the Trump administration will be working in the "sensitive" Pentagon office responsible for defending against terrorist acts, the New York Times reported.

Fund health care & SNAP... NOT war, ballrooms, arches, promenades!

Staggering levels of corruption. They’re using every possible lever of power to enrich themselves and their friends and families. And the “party of fiscal responsibility” simply doesn’t care.

“House bill rolls back food aid for pregnant women, children
Millions of WIC recipients would have less money for fruits and vegetables under the legislation, which funds the Agriculture Department and other agencies.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Tell me more about Trump/Republican family values… www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

A New York paramedic tells what they see in Trump’s health. Hint: it’s not good. For Trump. An informed view from someone at the sharp end.

New in PN: Why does the media ignore Trump’s madness? "The president frequently demonstrates a level of malignancy that still manages to shock. He doesn’t try to hide it, but the mainstream press covers his disordered thinking as a colorful 'quirk' rather than an escalating threat to the nation."

BREAKING: Don't fall for what Blanche is suggesting - DOJ is NOT getting rid of the whole bogus slush fund deal; it's still giving Trump $1,776 billion AND still giving him (and family) a broad civil release of liability; all it is NOT doing is using the $1,776 to create a fund for J6ers and others.

Again, Bill Pulte is a 38-year-old -- no really, 38 -- who only holds a BA in broadcast journalism and absolutely zero experience in the intelligence field. He has no qualifications for this job at all. Aside from being a psychotic lickspittle to the president.

It is a crime!

Page One: “.. the appointment .. has raised alarm internally among staff who question how anyone convicted in the assault on American democracy could be trusted for such a sensitive role ..” @washingtonpost.com

This is untenable. You can’t have a “ceasefire” where missiles are launched every day and civilians are being killed at airports. Rubio told Congress the war was over *yesterday* The administration needs to be honest with the American people. This is pathetic.

Wow. A convicted Jan. 6 Capitol rioter has been hired to work in a Pentagon office that handles classified military information. Elias Irizarry was hired to work in the DOD’s Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict, and internal alarms are going off. www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

DEAN: You're under oath. When will you comply with the law and release all the files? BLANCHE: We have complied with the law DEAN: There are 3 million more documents. Nobody buys it. *the time of the gentlelady has expired* DEAN: How do I get cut off 2 minutes into this?

BREAKING: Trump tapped loyalist Bill Pulte, a top housing official, to serve as the acting director of national intelligence. While Pulte has no known experience in intelligence, he's used his minor federal post to initiate criminal investigations against several of Trump’s political foes.
