1/3 (courtesy of AI) REMEMBER: GWB admin Enacted trillions of dollars in tax cuts WITHOUT corresponding cuts in federal spending or adherence to PAYGO rules, which along with costs of Iraq/Afghanistan wars -TRANSFORMED RECORD BUDGET SURPLUSES INTO into massive deficits

Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years. Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni could have denied Trump’s claim that she begged him to take a photo together, and left it at that. Instead, she went much further. She posted a video on X Friday that made a show of standing up to Trump and linked the episode to his ill treatment of allies.

Published today, Juneteenth. Coming soon to Amazon etc.

Juneteenth marks the celebration of America's second independence day. Like the people in this photo—Texans celebrating Juneteenth in 1900—we know that progress hasn't made our union perfect. But we can recommit to reaching toward that more perfect union together. Happy Juneteenth.

Can we finally all agree that the argument “we should run the country like a business, and therefore elect businessmen to run it” has been a failed experiment?

This says it all.

LOL.

May their memories be a blessing....

On this Juneteenth, it is important to acknowledge — both in sadness and in outrage — that the person occupying the position of president of the United States is a white supremacist. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/a-reality-that-must-be-acknowledged

how many TAXPAYER DOLLARS WENT INTO THIS PLANE?????? and he's going to take it with him

KegsBreath Doesn't Believe In Facts, Or Scientific Evidence......

A business tied to a longtime Trump supporter was given the no-bid contract to install a water-purification system in the Reflecting Pool. The National Park Service bypassed the competitive-bidding process typically required and gave a $1.7 million contract to the firm, Greenwater Services.

Damn they weren't wrong when they said Trump does everything with a nod to "Central Casting" I was never much into the show so I have to ask someone who's a fan to tell me which season of The Sopranos this guy was on I want to say the third season but someone please correct me

"Today on Juneteenth, the day we celebrate the end of slavery, the day we memorialize those who offered us hope for the future and the day when we renew our commitment to the struggle for freedom." — Angela Davis

😢😢 who me...?

Fun fact: Building enough solar panels to power the USA would take up less land area than is currently used (and polluted) by oil, gas, and coal mining.

Exclusive: The Trump administration is warning all 50 states that they risk losing federal funding for unemployment insurance benefits if they don’t comply with antifraud efforts.

👇👇This seems like it should be a bit bigger news!

Acting Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling is threatening to freeze unemployment benefits in blue states, using the same bully tactics the Trump administration has deployed against governors critical of its policies by targeting essential services. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Trump's family crypto business is expected to soon be allowed to operate like a bank — a decision, made by the Trump administration, that would give U.S. companies a new route to steer money to the president.

El Pendejo says the reflecting pool is ‘crystal clear’. Welcome to the first episode of ‘Green Is the New Blue’.

The United States is still destined for greatness, but only united will we meet the challenges and seize the opportunities of our time.

BREAKING on MS NOW: The Trump Justice Department has just REFUSED to indicate in a sworn declaration that it's backing off the Trump slush fund — claiming to Judge Brinkema in the EDVA that Todd Blanche's in court testimony should suffice.

A major flu outbreak has sickened nearly 160 troops at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas less than two months after Pete Hegseth announced that U.S. troops would no longer be required to be vaccinated for the flu.

I guess the paint is peeling off the grass, too.

Trump NOMINATION BLOWS UP as Epstein Survivors SINK BLANCHE!!! #MeidasTouch

I’ve been savouring his speech, hers, and the tone of those present. Full of hope, joy, community, love, respect. Such an inspiring, unifying, rallying call to the American pple. Such a contrast to what we French call, “la loque humaine” currently in the WH.

Also, y’know, because he supports people who attempted a coup

The same people who spent weeks calling Knicks fans "rioters" and "looters" sure are quiet after a Knicks fan's father was nearly beaten to death by Spurs' fans and remains hospitalized in San Antonio Funny how collective guilt only seems to apply to New Yorkers. Why can't MAGA understand that?

Reflections on how U.S. empire is shaping our world: “The Project 2025 folks are attacking all the foundations of U.S. power in favor of enhancing the power of the billionaire class… As for Trump himself, he does not appear to have any theory of global order except that he gives the orders.“ GIFT

Netanyahu can destroy an entire country but is too chickenshit to face consequences of his corruption. Israeli leader is accused of receiving hundreds of thousands of pounds of champagne and cigars. He should be on trial with trump and Kushner of war crimes. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

"Jared Kushner's vision for Gaza as a gleaming port city clashes with reality Much of the Gaza Strip lies in ruin from more than two years of Israeli strikes, with its 2 million Palestinian residents largely living in tents." www.nbcnews.com/world/gaza/j....

What do you wanna bet they replace the dead squares with new ones, making it stand out more. Then they try to fade those squares with peroxide turning them bright yellow.

SNYDER: Trump is ludicrously weak, and everything he touches turns to loss. He went to Madison Square Garden and the Knicks lost. I mean, more seriously, he tries to help Russia win a war, and even there he fails. Like, he has sort of incredible power to turn people into losers.

Truly horrific.

Juneteenth is not only about freedom. It’s a reminder that rights guaranteed on paper mean little when the powerful ignore them. Though enslavers of Texas knew slavery had been abolished, they did not act until it was enforced. Today, rights are denied again. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
