The PRC budget for online influence ops is so much bigger than I'd thought. My DMs are chock full o' personas acknowledging that they're from the PRC, eager to have "political discussions", half use an account image depicting a young Asian woman, the others using obvious AI Nordic female images.

Belarus has surrendered to Ukraine. Lukashenko does not want Ukraine to blow up all their oil refineries.

NEW: Mamdani’s rent freeze APPROVED. Tell me again how he’ll “never get anything done.” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/n...

53 years ago today, 6/25/73 With 85 million households watching on TV, former WH counsel John Dean reads his explosive 60,000 word opening statement which implicates Nixon, himself & other top WH officials in a coverup of Watergate & more. Nixon resigns 13 months later. Telling the truth matters.

Trump is being accused of Q-baiting after the administration published a trove of QAnon-themed social media posts. @willsommer.bsky.social looks into why QAnon are pushing against Trump's conspiracy themed campaign and some updates around the SPLC lawsuit from the DOJ.

The DOJ declined to issue a written statement confirming the “anti-weaponization” fund was dead.

Ukrainian intel says Russian occupation authorities are dumping anthrax-infected livestock carcasses across occupied Kherson Oblast. The agency warns poorly managed burial sites could create long-term soil contamination risks for civilians and agriculture in the region.

Public Citizen took legal action to force the Trump regime to reveal how multi-billionaire Musk's so-called DOGE dept. stole our personal information. No formal legal response yet from the criminal regime. Demand transparency!

#TheGOPIsComplicit #TheRepublicanPartyIsComplicit

I say we starve this Bezos motherfucker and STOP ORDERING HIS SHIT OFF AMAZON.

We are living in a country where the president can touch an underage girl's genitalia and there will be no repercussions—but if you DARE touch a pool of green water, you *will* be arrested and jailed. What a world . . .

Trump’s niece sounds the alarm: He’s 'in a downward spiral' www.alternet.org/trump-cognat...

Republicans are underestimating just how angry people are that their tax dollars are being spent on Trump’s “vanity” projects while they’re being told the government is overspending on the very programs and services people actually need. They will be punished at the polls #RepublicansStarveChildren

Reminder that Musk literally shared Russian disinformation to justify his USAID cuts

One of my "favorite" dumb Musk things is his deeply held belief that other people aren't real. One of his first moves after taking over Twitter was to try to fire "ghost employees," of which he thought they were many. He's a murderous bigot but he also thinks Fake People are robbing him blind.

Secretaries of state are condemning the Trump administration’s latest reported attempt to exert control over elections by withholding homeland security funds from states unless they adopt draconian changes to their election procedures. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

All they do is lose in court because their lawsuits are frivolous, petty, vengeful, and stupid. Just like the pumpkin-headed dipshit who orders them against his political enemies. May he leave this world soon.

Process the fact that—as of yesterday—if a tourist so much as dips a finger in the Reflecting Pool Trump ruined they get detained for an hour by multiple federal agencies This is the police state Republicans hysterically warned of for decades, and now that it's here they love it

BREAKING: The Senate has joined the House in voting to end the U.S. military campaign against Iran and block Trump's authority to wage this war. Four Republicans broke ranks in the bipartisan 50-48 vote.

Found the vandals.

Absolute fucking clown show. The administration is desperate to spin this deal in any sort of positive light. The reality is that we gave in to all of Iran’s demands, and we got a pinky promise out of it.

Starmer resigned over evidence the US DOJ says doesn't exist.

A trail of destruction. Imagine their reaction if Obama had done even one of these things.

Good news, per Maddow: *Alligator Alcatraz shutting down. Permanently. *Government abandons plans to open seven new immigration detention centers. *Georgia GOP lawmakers give up on redistricting plan. *Trump adminstration kills proposal to rip out $368M ocean monitoring system.

Previously Trump’s reflecting pool disaster was considered to be just a joke-and still more evidence of a completely corrupt presidency But it appears he may have created a biohazard instead A little Superfund site, smack dab in the middle of Washington

In every case, he’s either bypassing congressional oversight, violating established land-use protections, or ignoring court-ordered injunctions in order to make it happen. Ballroom: he bulldozed the East Wing to make room for it & redirected $352 mill meant for Secret Service security. 2.

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky: When you have somebody like Todd Blanche at the helm of the DOJ, it’s hugely problematic. He has the president’s best interests at heart. He does not have the American people’s best interests at heart. He’s so unfit to be the acting attorney general.

Hegseth proudly ended the flu vaccine requirement for the military. Following this idiocy, only 40% of new trainees got vaccinated. There’s now a flu outbreak at an AF facility. A new recruit has died, though it is not clear if it was from flu. Now, the flu vaccine is again required there.

PURE AWESOMENESS…👇 ENJOY. 😎✨

This👇. Per The Hill, Kristi Noem has joined a Canadian mining company in an ‘advisory’ role. I am astounded that any Canadian company would hire Kristi Noem for anything. What the h*ll does she know about mining?

Ken Paxton let a pedophile back on our streets. Adam Hoffman—an admitted child molester—should have gotten life in prison, but Paxton gave him an Epstein-style sweetheart deal. Today I’m calling on Paxton to release the Hoffman Files. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas.

Former Israeli Intelligence officer tells media that Netanyahu blackmails Trump & officials by threatening to release Epstein material if they don't help them militarily🇵🇸😢🇱🇧

Ian Carroll exposes how Peter Thiel and Palantir actively build a terrifying global surveillance state. He confirms the same elites attending Epstein's island use secret think tanks to dictate Washington policy and bomb the Middle East!

COME THE FUCK ON

Adam Kinzinger, former Republican Congressman and military Veteran, for the win: "We flew B2 bombers halfway around the world, we fought for 40 days, we killed their supreme leader, and then we handed them $300 billion. "That’s not a win. That’s what happens when you give a clown a flamethrower."

JD Vance promoting his book about finding his way back to faith while helping manage Situation Room meetings on how to cover up for pedophiles is about as Republican as it gets.

Nothing a couple gallons of hydrogen peroxide won’t fix. Algae in the Reflecting Pool continues to grow …

𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚🚨 #ICELawlessness & cruelty kills. Daphy Michel, 31, a vulnerable adult with mental illness, died of hypothermia at a Pittsburgh bus shelter. Officials ruled her death a homicide. Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56yo blind man from Myanmar was killed by ICE by abandoning him the same way. 🧵

The oligarchy attends a cage fight

The People’s House has entered its sponsorship era. The president owns UFC stock. A million-dollar fundraiser is tied to the event. Commemorative merchandise is already being sold. Is the Hatch Act just not a thing anymore?

Importantly: this comes with all the user watch data because Roku tracks everything you watch

Greed!

Marco Rubio apparently thinks Trump’s tacky UFC stunt on the White House lawn is comparable to the Moon landing. That is perfect. “One small step for cage matches. One giant humiliation for the republic.” America is being run by people who confuse spectacle with achievement.

And I’m sure Mitch McConnell is getting the best healthcare money can buy while so many Americans don’t have access. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Happy #ObamaAppreciationDay

Love what the Australian soccer team says about modern Australia. Seriously, watch this video, and you'll be cheering for them too.
