Trump on an executive order he's about to sign that he clearly has no clue about: "Quantum ... cryptography. Does anybody know what that is?"

June 17, 2026 A senior U.S. official read the text of the fourteen-point memorandum of understanding with Iran over the phone to reporters today, and there’s a reason it has ignited a firestorm. A memorandum of understanding is usually a nonbinding agreement….

I guess a G7 meeting that ends without a social media meltdown or a public fight now counts as a major success

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.

That’s called a bribe.

I think he may mean venomous, as in injecting a toxin. Poisonous means the toxin is harmful if licked, eaten, or inhaled and I can personally attest women who color their hair are delicious

Pathetic. Iran is going to read this as tacit approval to do whatever they want. Trump’s desperation is making us look weak AF.

Where’s the uproar about waste, fraud, and abuse now?

Not enough people are talking about this. A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Can’t wait to watch all the people who criticized the JCPOA and excoriated Obama for “pallets of cash” try to sanewash Trump giving Iran even more cash for a worse deal than the JCPOA.

So Trump blew up Obama's deal with Iran, launched a new war, depleted our arsenal, cost us tens of billions, exposed the US as weaker to the world, and ended up just going back to a version of Obama's deal but worse? Do I have that right?

"On the present trajectory, Iran will emerge from the conflict many times stronger and more influential than it was before the war. It will exercise leverage with dozens of the richest nations in the world." From Robert Kagan, @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Todd Blanche to CNN re the slush fund going to J6 defendants who assaulted police: Blanche: “Just to be clear, people that hurt police get money all the time.” No. They. Don’t.

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

this doesn't speak well of Kentucky Republicans

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

This is atrocious. Donald Trump’s former personal criminal defense lawyer, now serving as Acting Attorney General of the United States, signed a one-page document in which the United States government “RELEASES, WAIVES, ACQUITS, and FOREVER DISCHARGES” Donald Trump, his sons, his businesses,

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

This would constitute one of the most brazen, most appalling acts of corruption in U.S. history. I know we’re numb to all of this but this is a seven-alarm fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

The Russians have built a museum of "Polish Russophobia" at the site of the Katyn massacre, where Stalin murdered tens of thousands of Polish officers. This is all part of a campaign to erase the memory of Stalin's crimes, writes @elpais.com elpais.com/internaciona...

Yeah, we don’t have hospitals, dentists, or physicians.

My. Former. Party. Has Learned. From. Trump. To. Not. Tell The. Truth. Instead. Just. Lie. Baby.

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

What better way to torch your scientific organization's credibility than by having an anti-vaxxer speak at it?

Trump officials are unpleasant assholes. Period. Doesn’t matter who they’re meeting with.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social Would be interested in your thoughts here: www.wsj.com/opinion/free...

They oversaw a very important social media influence operation for the Kremlin, got caught, fled. And now they're not just back, they're guests at Donald & Melania Trump's Easter Egg Roll at the White House.

From Catherine Belton, on why Vance is going to Budapest www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

His Easter morning post. And just 2 days ago, one of his “religious advisors” compared him to Jesus Christ. He will forever be a stain on this country. And the world. 25th Amendment. Now. And to everyone else who, unlike Trump, understands & celebrates today - Happy Easter.

Hegseth just fired the Army Chief Gen Randy George. Immediately. Gen George the most competent and experienced combat leaders I have ever encountered. Courage. Integrity. Takes care of soldiers. A government of gangsters.

Thanks @admiralstav.bsky.social Hope this helps others to understand how important the @nato alliance is to the US.

Maybe giving this speech was a bad call. (And who wrote this mess?) Trump is clearly lost; admitting it to the rest of the world is a bad idea. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

We are going to see an accelerating tide of these admissions and conversions as the coming weeks and months pass. And the job of those of us who have opposed Trump for years is to resist saying "I told you so," or "you knew better," but rather to say "thank you for seeing the light"...

It. Is. In. The. Fourteenth. Amendment. It. Is. A. Right.

“Efforts to leave his mark”. CNN specializes in this soft propaganda through euphemisms. How about “another corrupt act of self-aggrandizement”. And, “a first for a sitting President”. Like it’s some kind of accomplishment as opposed to authoritarian overreach. CNN, any adults there?

Trump: "I used a mail-in ballot. You know why? Because I'm President of the United States and because of the fact that I'm President of the United States, I did a mail-in ballot."

British Lawmaker Ed Davey Tells Parliament That Trump's Oil Announcements Look Likes Insider Trading: "This looks like corruption of the very worst kind"

Historic levels of insider trading are occurring here,,,and now.

It must be *infuriating* to TSA agents, who are NOT getting paid, to see lazy ICE agents, who ARE getting paid, lounging about the airport and doing nothing to help either them or passengers.

Trump re-truthed this. This is exactly the kind of personality cult that should alarm everyone. A sitting president being framed as a divinely appointed savior and "on a mission from God" is not normal politics.

“The Sheriff’s assertion that his deputies know how to count is admirable. The fact remains that he and his deputies are not elections officials.” Bianco’s ballot seizure is “the sort of thing that should not happen in a healthy democracy...” www.latimes.com/california/s...

Good luck to ya lindsay

Remember all the times I said never to celebrate the death of another human being, because it just makes you look like a terrible, shitty person? Don't be this guy.
