Iran hit a commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz with a missile, causing heavy damage. They’ve announced the Strait is closed - again. The US is currently bombing Iran in response.

First, the Human Thumb (Stephen Cheung) called the story fake. Now they’re subpoenaing reporters… over a fake story? Way to confirm the reporting.

Trump took another cognitive test and had another physical at Walter Reed. Has it even been two months since his last physical? There’s a massive coverup surrounding the President’s health happening right now.

Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo

The stated idea of this proposal is to make it easier to close Lafayette Square when necessary while still leaving it accessible to the public most of the time. I think that’s BS as they’re also looking to permanently fence in Pennsylvania Avenue. Restricting access to the people’s house.

I’d love to hear the rational behind this. It certainly looks like another Trump effort to subvert the election. It’s going to fail, but that’s what it looks like.

So he’s going to let it become law but cry about it. Makes sense

This is precisely what I was talking about yesterday (and when this retrofit started). There’s simply no way to turn a regular plane into a mobile command center for a nuclear-armed nation in 10 months. Even allowing Trump to fly on the Qatari plane is a security risk.

Platner is out. Good. Still fuck him, though - stop running for public office if you’re a piece of shit. The oppo WILL find out.

It sounds like they rushed the Qatar jet and it doesn’t have all of the defensive countermeasures needed to transit potentially hostile airspace. There’s no realistic way to read this other than a threat-driven aircraft choice.

To be clear: that’s why I said the “long term trajectory” of the war. Full production capability is probably 2 years away, minimum. If they import some items from the US (rocket motors, seekers, etc.) they could conceivably start producing sooner. It’s definitely not a quick fix.

Trump *says* a lot of things. If he does this, it’s a complete game changer for long term trajectory of the war. Ukraine’s domestic drone, missile, and radar production has proven to be sophisticated — I see no reason they couldn’t spin up PAC-3 missiles relatively quickly.

🤣🤣🤣 Perfect answer

There are major concerns within the defense and intelligence communities re: an operation to take over Kharg Island. We haven’t done it yet because a large number of casualties are anticipated.

Trump says the ceasefire with Iran is over, calls Iranian leadership scum. He also says the US will immediately stop trading with Spain, and has ordered a halt to all US visits. Those stocks aren’t going to manipulate themselves, I guess.

Kasie Hunt asked Scott Jennings on live TV if McConnell would be willing to call in to CNN. The discomfort on Jennings’ face while he tried to bullshit his way around that answer was really something. Methinks we still aren’t getting the whole story.

More ships attacked. Folks have to understand that Iran really has no incentive to negotiate in good faith - they know Trump wants this war to end, and they have all the leverage. They’re going to take what money they can get and drag out the political pain for Trump as long as possible.

This is an insane security failure. Thankfully, Macron was not harmed, but these videos are nuts.

Now that the MSM flood is also starting, there’s no way they’re going to be able to keep this hidden until August. The rumor mill has been going crazy today. Nothing confirmed yet, but it definitely doesn’t sound good.

Trump just said the ballroom will be missile proof. It’s fucking made of glass. There’s no such thing as missile proof glass. The bunker under it will be very secure, but also not missile proof.

They say it’s “routine maintenance” and that they’re painting the columns. I’m betting they’re going to demo them and swap to the “orante” style Trump likes. They haven’t followed any of the other rules, why start now?

Trump starting to look kinda Mitch McConnellish

What a half so far.

I can’t find a link on BlueSky, but I would encourage everyone to listen to Obama’s Fourth of July remarks from today. Then, compare them to the absolute bile you’re going to hear from Trump tonight. Our government doesn’t have to be a walking clown show. Vote accordingly.

It’s the world’s dumbest cult.

“Fixing their car” = intentionally bypassing emission controls Meanwhile, Trump is currently prosecuting someone for touching a pool

So has anyone confirmed that Mitch McConnell is alive?

We need to have a serious conversation about how much fluid Trump is retaining.

Stock trades by President. The blatant corruption is just staggering

Trump’s net worth has almost tripled since he’s been back in office. He rugged his crypto followers for over $500 million. Over $1.4 billion in total crypto profit. Financial corruption hawks on the right, where you at?

If that Alito retirement rumor is true, that sucks. They’ll try to push Thomas out, too. I’m wondering if that’s why he was on the Hill yesterday.

SCOTUS strikes down Trump’s attempted ban on birthright citizenship, confirms the 14th Amendment isn’t just a suggestion. Stephen Miller’s tears might overflow the Potomac.

This SCOTUS campaign finance ruling is a fucking disaster.

First SCOTUS opinion of the day was largely expected: Court rules 6-3 that states can ban transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports.

Of course it looks like a fucking Reichsadler. Why wouldn’t it 🤦‍♂️

The guy whose yacht Steve Bannon was arrested on by Post Office cops just got 30 years in prison. www.npr.org/2026/06/29/g...

SCOTUS today: - States can count mail in ballots arriving late as long as they are postmarked prior to the election - won’t hear Trump’s E Jean Carroll appeal - won’t hear Dersh’s CNN appeal - Trump can’t fire Lisa Cook #Winning

BOOM! A win for democracy. A loss for Trump.

SCOTUS declines to hear E Jean Carroll case, meaning Trump has to pay her $5 million. Boom. Give her her damn money.

Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo!

Ah yes, the president always gets briefed on “very boring” things that don’t exist. Totally normal. Translation: the book is accurate

Obama lives rent free in this draft dodging coward’s mind

“Welcome, but be good” What a fucking moron

And like clockwork… markets close, back to bombing Iran

“If Democrats win, Congress will do its job again” is a wild message from the current Speaker of the House

Trump’s approval rating isn’t even 65% with MAGA at this point. You could anonymously poll his administration and not get to 65%

Compare this to Obama, who demanded detailed briefings and a risk assessment / COA analysis with every decision he made. You simply can’t distill complex foreign policy issues into a one pager and expect good outcomes.

The fuck is wrong with the 31% on this graphic
