I’m just going to point out that Trump just made a post yesterday saying that he might need a restraining order for the Italian PM because she’s a stalker right before he’s about to fly to the NATO summit and Trump got a bunch of questions about FIFA and zero about Meloni.

Trump: "Every time I see a crypto guy where they dropped an investigation, I said, 'You're lucky I'm president.'"

President Donald Trump on Sunday posted a falsified image of former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, waving before boarding an Air Force One that had been spray-painted with graffiti. https://to.pbs.org/3TjhDPw

We arrested Mark Salkey after he stole the home of an elderly woman living with dementia. For many New Yorkers, home ownership represents years of hard work. It's the American dream. I'll keep standing up to deed thieves so this dream can remain a reality.

America’s unions welcome the news that DOGE is officially gone. The path of destruction it leaves on our essential services and jobs across the country will be felt by ALL of us. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/04/doge-july-4-white-house-end-00983651

"This is going to make it so much easier for dangerous people to get firearms. You are eliminating [gun shops'] ability to be the first line of defense." - Marianna Mitchem, Everytown Senior Firearms Industry Advisor & former ATF official

Trump admits that he's demanded his cronies names things after him

All told, 321 diamonds, 56 sapphires, 13 emeralds and six rubies encrust the watch-sized gold ring presented this week to Bill White, the U.S. ambassador to Belgium, to give to U.S. President Donald Trump. https://to.pbs.org/44batiO

No frog left straight.

Trump on AI: "It's a massive industry. And I think things are gonna happen. What you're seeing here with the kids -- I think something could happen in that regard too with a contribution to the people of our country. I'll give you a little inside information. Paul, am I allowed to do that?"

Trump: "I'm friends with many doctors because of what I'm doing as president. They're great -- as long as they tell me I'm healthy. When they tell me I'm healthy -- so far, so good. Where's a piece of wood?""

people need to go to jail over this, its the only thing the democratic party should be saying right now. all of them, in unison, no matter the question or topic, needs to be saying “insider trading is against the law”

There it is

Trump is now using his platform to attack kindergarteners because they are Muslim

I'm struck by the irony of Trump going to bat for Balogun days Stephen Miller warned that birthright citizenship = civilization suicide.

We filed a complaint with the Interior Department inspector general last week about some eyebrow-raising government contracts, including for the Reflecting Pool "renovation." Let's just say there's *a lot* that should be investigated:

There’s no difference between men marching in white masks and men marching in white hoods. None.

RESPECT Every politician should be doing this. Mayor Coffman has spent every Friday night since February sleeping at Aurora, Colorado’s homeless center, serving breakfast in the morning, and learning firsthand what works and what doesn’t.

Performative cruelty is the weak person’s attempt to appear strong.

Move over, Ken Paxton.🙄 “Montana Republican Senate nominee Kurt Alme, who previously served as his state’s US attorney, cut a plea deal in 2020 that allowed a tribal police officer who sexually abused a 6-year-old girl to serve less than a year in prison & avoid being registered as a sex offender.“

Update on Air Force Major Jason Watson: released from Capitol Police custody, he was immediately transferred to Department of Defense custody at an undisclosed military base. He is reported to be in good spirits. His defense fund has raised $276,015. His words: "The greatest threat is domestic."

The disruptive storm and vicious heat were metaphors for Trump’s delayed speech on National Mall And it was a stark contrast to the celebrations in other cities nationwide Just filed ===> youtu.be/13q324_VXTg?...

not to get political, but America is real pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and i think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.

Apparently, if you set off over 800k explosives, you might fuck up the air that people (checks notes) breathe.

The weather on Juneteeth was incredible. Make of that what you will.

A federal agent fired a pepper ball launcher from the vehicle he was driving, striking a protester in the stomach. This was outside the ICE detention facility in Broadview this afternoon. 📸 Evan Stone www.instagram.com/evan_stone_p...

Ha ha I hate it here

UPDATE: Trains are servicing all stations but may bypass in the interest of safety if station platforms become too crowded. Customers entering the stations closest to the Mall may experience metering which limits the number of individuals allowed onto platforms in an effort to manage large crowds.

Here's the situation: The fairgoers have been expelled by force They have been told to shelter in nearby buildings, but all the buildings are locked because it is the Fourth of July People are clustering at the entrance points and blocking traffic for blocks The clouds are growing darker

Meanwhile, in the present, I am getting protest flashbacks as the police clear the fairgrounds by force

We are advised to take shelter in our cars or a nearby building, and to check socials for more info There is no info on socials We're all gonna get struck by lightning and die and honestly I'm fine with that

This article about @philweiser.bsky.social's win from the Denver Post starts with this anecdote. www.denverpost.com/2026/07/04/p...

As we celebrate 250 years, let us always commit to honoring the progress we have made and continuing our fight to ensure the promise of America belongs to all of us.

Confederate Nazis should not be tolerated in the USA. They should be rounded up and put in prison for the domestic terrorists they are.

Judge Kaplan denies Trump's request for more time. His brief arguing why he shouldn't release the $5.8M to E. Jean Carroll right now remains due Tues., 7/7.

This an official Vatican photograph of Leo at Lampedusa, Italy - one of the world’s heaviest migrant sites - where he went this morning to pray for migrants who died at sea. This is after turning down the offer to come to the United States.

The best way to celebrate 250 years of American independence? With TENS OF THOUSANDS of Coloradans — and at an elevation of nearly 10,000 feet! Grateful to march in both the Frisco and Breckenridge parades today, and to honor the founding of our great country. Happy 4th of July Colorado! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Today’s Parade of Sail on the Hudson River was stunning. I’m so proud to be the Mayor of New York City — our nation’s first capital — and to be celebrating America’s 250th anniversary on its historic shores.

Probably a bad idea to wrap your face and body in slim-fit clothing on a day with 101 degree heat. Especially if the garments are made from tightly woven cotton or certain synthetics.

President Trump's retail store is out with an Independence Day email blast. Trump pledged not to profit off the presidency. In 2025, Trump Store dot com paid him $8.4 million.

This 20+ year sheriff allegedly told his deputies to target Latino residents and referred to them as “taco eaters.” Now he could be ousted in a country that’s grown increasingly competitive. One of the most noteworthy elections these midterms for ICE policy — these local races are pivotal.

Four years ago, the same gunfire I heard on the battlefield in Iraq rang out through Highland Park during a Fourth of July parade. Seven lives cut short. A two-year-old orphaned. A community forever changed. Enough has to be enough.  Reinstate the assault weapons ban. Now.
