BREAKING: A federal judge has voided President Donald Trump's controversial settlement with the IRS, ruling that his underlying $10 billion lawsuit was filed for an "improper purpose" to engineer a self-dealing agreement. @anntelnaes.bsky.social

Lindsey Graham may have been a good man; perhaps he could have been a great one; but he chose to be Trump’s man. This morning I’m wondering what John McCain has to say to his old friend, assuming, of course, they are in the same place. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Lorenzo’s Salgado's brother Victor told his lawyer that the agent who pulled his brother out of the vehicle and cuffed him on the ground as he bled out asked in a mocking tone “Se querían escapar, verdad?” which means. “You wanted to escape, right?” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Does it, though?

A Police Executive Research Forum report from 2014 showed that CBP officers were purposely placing themselves in front of moving vehicles, and then shooting at them. This isn’t something that can be reformed. Abolish ICE. www.npr.org/sections/the...

If you read anything at all today - please make it be this article written by my husband J.C.Bruce. www.jcbruce.com/p/a-victory-...

Spoke with my good friend you know who for 20 minutes today.

Definite Communist.

I’m sad about US soccer because people around the world won’t remember the heroic game vs B-H. Instead, they’ll remember that a corrupt US president and a corrupt FIFA colluded, but the USMNT lost in spite of that cheating. So sad. Trump turned the US effort in the World Cup to green goo. #ETTD

I needed cheering up so I bought a Chinese copy of a 59 Les Paul guitar and some genuine Les Paul '59 Clone Vintage P.A.F. Humbucker pickup's and a wiring upgrade to turn it in to a rock monster. Gotta do something for fun 😂🙂

Anyone who has read A Fire upon the Deep knows the green algae was created to slow and then halt the attack by a deadly AI that wants to take over the universe.

Stephen Miller's suit here shows one of the biggest problems with men's tailoring today. 🧵

lol does this article really not mention that Clarence Thomas was in house counsel for Monsanto, the Roundup manufacturer?

Look, it was green in Logan’s Run.

Steven Spielberg refused his salary for SCHINDLER'S LIST. He called profit from the film "blood money" and wouldn't take a single of it. He used his share to found the USC Shoah Foundation, which has since recorded around 55,000 interviews with Holocaust survivors and witnesses.

Every word true.

Why does my Duolingo app act like a passive aggressive psychopath if I’m close to missing a lesson for one day?

Just leaving this here

Excellent. So relieved.

“Arbitrary quarantines and travel restrictions may be politically popular, but they won’t curb the outbreak or protect Americans...These measures are also unlawful.” Why the US must urgently pivot from me, @jennifernuzzo.bsky.social & @gostin.bsky.social in @thehill.com thehill.com/opinion/heal...

Scott Pelley has provided @status.news a statement blasting current CBS News management and even accusing them of having tried (and failed) to "inject falsehoods and bias" into his stories. www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

Unfortunately the Mos Eisley Cantina Band have had to drop out of the Freedom 250 show due to too much scum and villainy.

Had to share - MSM seems to be ignoring it.

The cow, jumping over the moon.

Holy - look at this. On May 26th, someone opened nearly 5,000 contracts of the drone maker Unusual Machines, #$UMAC, $20 calls expiring 7/17/2026. Then literally YESTERDAY, the Pentagon reported possible stakes in the industry. These contracts hit a 570% gain. Unusual.

Shrey spelling 32 words in 90 seconds to win the Spelling Bee is the new greatest athletic accomplishment of 2026. I don’t even know how he said the letters that fast. Got a “Holy Mackerel” out of @minakimes.bsky.social

"Wrote the judges: 'this ‘settlement’ is a product of collusion and is itself a fraud on the Court.'" Take that in: federal judges are accusing Trump of committing a fraud on the federal courts.

I don't care who you are, there will always be times when hell is other people. Not because other people are horrible - quite the opposite! Other people are *wonderful*, but boy are they ever *stubborn*. 1/

Anatomy of the most blatant self-dealing corruption in the history of the US Presidency.

And this is why liberals always lose to fascists. They're so busy trying to preserve institutions that they never look up to see that the barbarians are at the gate and already set fire to those very institutions. You either fight these bastards or they will never stop.

For the umpteenth time: The most corrupt president in American history.

"No kings," because even an omnibenevolent king isn't omniscient, and that means that omnipotence is always omnidestructive in the long run. The fascist revival has been scarily effective and resilient - and systems thinking offers an explanation for both that efficacy and that resiliency. eof/

We need to attack the theory of the "unitary executive" and every other autocratic ideology head on. We have to insist that these aren't just unconstitutional, but that they are ideologically catastrophic. 29/

Which suggests that the real fight we have is over that paradigm: we have to convince our neighbors that they are smart enough to rule themselves, and so are we, and so is everyone else. 27/

Lynx held a moment of silence for Alex Pretti and Renee Good ahead of the season opener at Target Center:

Remember when they told everyone taxpayers wouldn’t pay a penny?

Republicans are going to make taxpayers pay for Trump’s ballroom. All Trump’s claims over 16 months that “donors” were going to pay for it was always a lie and just another con. You will pay for it.

This is ugly, cruel, and senseless. There is something deeply broken within the people in the Trump administration.

I know we get inured to stuff, but it is hard to fathom the cruelty here. At a time of tax cuts for the most powerful, they are trying to remove basic supports for the most vulnerable. The Trump administration's war on people with disabilities continues.

Odd, how a lone gunman failed to even enter a targeted room and no one was harmed—and Republicans go HYSTERICAL over the “tone” of Democrats. And yet heavily armed and masked fascists murdered two people at point-blank range in the streets of Minneapolis—and not a peep about the “tone” of the right.
