A LOT of new apportioned $$$ yesterday for "White House Repair and Restoration," (ballroom) some of which sure looks like it's from the Big Beautiful Bill & sort of looks like it's anticipating using money from the Secret Service. If this is what it looks like this is open and shut plainly illegal.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) on Thursday expanded his probe into Trump's health, demanding the White House physician provide Congress with a complete list of his medications, the names of his nearly two dozen doctors and the results from Trump’s most recent physical exam. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

All living US Presidents and First Ladies attending the Obama Presidential Center today. Epic trolling against the fascists currently harboring themselves in the bulldozed White House.

Trump is now 50 minutes late and counting for this White House event. The piano player is digging deep to fill time.

Today in Chicago, four presidents and four First Ladies gathered to open the Presidential Center on the South Side. Presidents Biden, Clinton, Bush and Obama stood together to celebrate democracy, service and community.The center opens to the public on Juneteenth. That timing is not an accident.

Good Morning New York City!!! Are we ready this morning for a parade? Say, Hell Yes! This is part 1. Just getting there. Millions will be watching what will be the largest ticker tape parade in NYC's history. Go-NY-Go-NY-GOooo! Part 1/2

Part 2. The Parade. New York 💙🧡 #Knicks

Part 3. The Ceremony. Love how much mayor Zohran #Mamdani loves the #Knicks 💙🧡 @mayor.nyc.gov

More than 2 million people came out today to lower Manhattan for the Knicks parade, according to the NYPD

It was very funny that Dolan got up to speak and took a swipe at Mamdani, that’s the sort of complete misunderstanding of your own level of charisma that you can only attain when you are born into extreme wealth

Thank you, Mr. President, for reminding us what selfless service, moral leadership, and principled governance looks like. We will never forget your message of hope and change. You and Michelle are an inspiration. America misses you.

Dear Former President Barack Obama and Former First Lady Michelle Obama, I’ve watched you and your children attacked with a ferocity and cruelty that defy any sense of decency, and that certainly have no precedent... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/thanks-oba...

Bruce Springsteen embraced Barack Obama not because he was president, but as a friend 👏💯. Both of their museums have also opened in June 2026. Congratulations Springsteen and Obama. in Chicago, Illinois (June 18, 2026).

I wonder when Trump’s delayed reaction to the Obama Center festivities is going to hit? If Fox is making a big whine about Michelle dragging him, soon.

"Barack, you gotta look at me." At the grand opening ceremony of the Obama Presidential Center, former First Lady Michelle Obama delivered a speech that brought the former president to tears. This is love. Love of husband, love of a president, love of a country.

NATO doesn't need the help of a military with a Pedo in Chief who would take Russia's side; Smegbreath is literally a joke and his failures in Iran suggest he's for the chop next. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

2026 is wild. NATO meeting has a non-member showing off a phone video like "yo check this out, I just launched a successful air raid on Moscow"

#US #Poland #NATO

Hegseth in Brussels for an important NATO summit on Ukraine and the security of Europe, showing his contempt for the subject matter by wearing his ‘popping down the bar’ outfit! "Someone should explain to him that dress like a dumb American redneck isn’t the flex he seems to think that it is!"

A tech exec making a million dollars stops paying into Social Security in March. A school teacher pays in every single paycheck all year long. That’s the rigged system corrupt Republicans refuse to fix. Make the wealthy pay their fair share and Social Security is saved. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

Trump staffing cuts left Social Security at near 50‑year lows, with closed offices & endless waits. Republicans underfund the agency & then call it “dysfunctional” to justify more cuts. That’s sabotage. Fund SSA & protect every earned benefit. #HandsOffSocialSecurity #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Trump, Mike Johnson & the Republicans want to cut our Social Security. Is that okay with you? You contributed your entire career to your retirement just like your parents did, and now Republicans wanna screw you. Call them at 202-224-3121 & say: #HandsOffSocialSecurity!

Chief Justice John Roberts helped give Trump criminal immunity and weakened voting rights. Now they’re coming for Social Security. It’s time to hold Roberts accountable. Impeachment articles have already been filed. Click below to urge your Reps to get it done.

Obama shouts out "those ordinary people in the Twin Cities who braved frigid temperatures, risked their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look our for their neighbors and sometimes for strangers because they knew that was the right thing to do"

Social Security is earned, not given. We paid into it our entire working lives. Speaker Johnson knows how unpopular cuts would be. That’s why these conversations happen behind closed doors instead of out in the open. We earned these benefits. We’ll fight to keep them. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Michelle Obama: You were doing the people's work, rescuing our economy, expanding health care, ending a war, ordering the bin laden raid, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize.

It feels strange that humanity dreams of finding life on distant planets while forests here vanish every day. A forest takes decades to grow, to cool the air, protect wildlife, and create peace—yet only moments to destroy. The most important world is the one we already inhabit.

My God. The opening ceremony of the Obama Center is a beautiful display of American hope, diversity, and integrity. What a contrast to the pathetically stupid display at the White House last weekend.

The parade doesn’t start for 2 hours, but the NYPD just announced that there’s “no more room” at the Knicks parade and they’re turning people away. Madness. #NBA

If we took control of the Epstein files away from the people listed in the Epstein files maybe we would actually see the Epstein files.

Scottish world cup fans are literally drinking all the beer in Boston. A large percentage of the bars in and around Boston are running out of beer. That made me smile this morning.😆 Boston underestimated the Scots.
