This is next level "Man in a High Tower" shit. Welcoming Afrikaners with free Android Tablets, anti-Mandela slop, & the 1776 Commission Report co-authored by Charlie Kirk, which openly condemns civil rights & calls for "Christian instructors." www.nytimes.com/2026/06/23/u...

The announcement is coming.

Sleepy Don?

Yes, the remedy if you don't like Court interpretations of your laws is to write laws that are more clear, or change them if you don't like how they are understood. The Court's job is not to fix bad laws or interpret them how we'd like them. It's to do their best at interpreting what was written.

The Cato Institute, hardly "woke" and much respected among conservatives, have 2 great articles about how well Haitians do in America. They outperform American citizens - reach higher education, earn more & commit less crime on average. www.cato.org/blog/haitian... www.cato.org/news-release...

This is an authoritarian nightmare. It is how the Soviet Union would handle science funding: a top-down control with distribution being made on the authoritarian basis of the political preferences of a central planner. This will chill academic freedom and kill American science.

Alex Tabarrok is correct: this is a bad stuff. As has happened before, the Trump people have fingered something that needs improvement--the scientific funding process--and are trying to implement measures, including political loyalty tests, that will make the situation vastly worse.

PEPFAR was a historic Conservative Republican triumph of the GW Bush administration. It has saved tens of millions of lives. It is one of the best things America ever did. Destroying it stains all of us, further. Every Conservative, every Liberal, every American. Numb vandalism.

He's "not a big fan of Ukraine" because he follows Russia's orders. And Republicans in Congress just sit on their hands as Reagan's and McCain's party becomes Putin's party.

Lawless. The courts need to come down on this like a ton of bricks.

This is BS. If that's true why was he in an official meeting? #WeShouldAskOurselvesWhy

This is evil. Get your history from historical scholars. Not AI owned by a trillionaire white nationalist.

This isn’t just oddly inappropriate. It suggests that the ongoing Middle East negotiations are intertwined with private profit-making opportunities for the Trump family.

Sounds like communism

Trump thinks kidnapping a president and stealing a country’s oil makes him a strongman. If he wants to be any kind of man at all, he will put together an aid package to help rebuild. Thats the least he can do for a country he’s exploiting and threatening to make our 51st state.

One of the many problems with this is that even after the courts say this illegally infringes the right to vote, who could ever trust the USPS to deliver mailed ballots again? Classic Trump destruction of good government. Even if they don't get their way, they'll have broken this irrevocably.

Congress actually delivers something to help the American people on a bipartisan basis (358-32 in the House; 85-5 in the Senate) and Trump won't sign it. Trumpism in a nutshell. He does not care about this country or its people.

I think this pope is consistently getting at something about 21st century life that bothers people across the political spectrum. The fact that individual people are of utmost worth. A fact lost on modern society. We can see this in many different arenas.

As a voter who is not a Democrat, it's not really my place to have an opinion on the "moderate/centrist" Dem versus "DSA/progressive" Dem split. It's your party, you do you. I want one thing only from Democratic primaries: candidates who will beat Republicans in general elections.

Thus:

Anytime any respectable journalist mentions our two chief negotiators with Iran, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, they should note both receive sizeable paychecks from Middle Eastern nations with deep equities in these talks. It is a fundamental corruption.

The autopen actually understands the EO better than the president

FBI’s search for evidence of voter fraud is reminiscent of OJ Simpson’s quest to find “the real killer.” Both seem to be shamelessly transparent efforts to advance a false narrative that no one is buying. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/06/18/a...

More trump/maga hypocrisy

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

Feature not a bug.

The Reflecting Pool arrests by Park Police should terrify everyone. The federal government is fabricating accusations out f thin air simply tO protect one man from his own embarrassing failure. There is no sabotage. This is insane.

Profile of Mary Peltola, who leads incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) in polls, not only is interesting in itself but illustrates how Alaska's admirable electoral reforms (universal top-4 primary followed by ranked choice voting #RCV in general) help candidates like her who show cross-party appeal.

Only a sense of impunity explains the willingness of someone to run another human being over in a public space with plenty of cameras. They assume the Trump administration will protect them from prosecution. www.nj.com/essex/2026/0...

The Strait was open and oil was flowing before the war began. Restoring that isn’t victory, it’s trying to undo a mistake. (In fact, it looks like Iran has every intention of charging tolls going forward).

No serious diplomat would have signed a doc that (1) commits someone else (Israel) to doing things they didn't agree to, and (2) promises to not issue threats and then issues threats. Hands the other side leverage. Maybe a corrupt son-in-law and real estate investor buddy weren't the best choice.

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

I don't mind embarassing the tech tycoons who embarass and debase themselves for power.

This is GREAT!

Vance: "The Straits are now open. The Iranian military is now destroyed." Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again this morning.

The great negotiator, y’all. 😂

As Jonathan Toews announced his retirement today, he took time to reflect on the UND portion of his career and shared a recurring dream he had about leaving pro hockey: www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-h...

It's definitely both

Our president is a child

What a child

Love it!

Who is responsible for the Iran debacle? A good piece from @kschake.bsky.social www.aei.org/foreign-and-...

The honorable gentlemen giving their word of honor on handshake deals are Trump, Vance and the Iranian regime. Seems like a bunch of honest and trustworthy folks who can be counted on to keep their word.
