$13M to paint the pool. Algae returns. Dump in hydrogen peroxide to kill algae. Oh wait, peroxide is a paint remover! Paint job ruined. Algae remains. The incompetence defies belief.

Kushner “has some experience in real estate, but no experience running hedge funds and private equity,” one source told author Casey Michel. If anything, his affairs gave the appearance of a simple playbook: selling access, influence, and even policy.

Trump lost the Iran war. After months of threats, chest-thumping, and promises of strength against Iran, Trump arrived claiming leverage and left defending a deal that has critics asking whether America gained anything at all. Watch here: youtu.be/iv0TROsgtOY?...

Considering the emoluments clause, and that all gifts to presidents and officials from foreign countries are property of the US government, I don't see how he should be able to waltz off with this plane when he leaves. He don't own it. At a minimum he should pay back the money it cost to retrofit.

Trump speaking in front of the new Qatar Force One which he will keep after leaving the WH, claims that Qatari generosity was necessary to uphold the prestige of the United States. How far we have fallen under this corrupt buffoon.

934 million in taxpayers money to retrofit the Grift Plane. He's bleeding us dry.

The self‑styled “king of bankruptcy” now wants to gamble your Social Security on Wall Street, after a career of stiffing workers and crashing casinos. That’s not retirement security, it’s an invitation to another Trump‑made disaster. #HandsOffSocialSecurit #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Happiest of Juneteenths to all those who celebrate (like me).

To be an American is standing up to bullies and fighting for what is right. #democratsabroad #votefromabroad #America250 #YesWeCan #AmericanAbroad #USpol #USpolitics

The Iran war is so, so, so dumb. Ta-Nehisi Coates joins Tim Miller on the latest Bulwark Podcast.

At 89, Opal Lee walked more than 1,400 miles from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, D.C., because she believed Juneteenth deserved to be remembered. She kept walking until America listened. And as she celebrates her 100th birthday this year, we celebrate her legacy. Happy #Juneteenth❤️💚 #SheShed

Talarico is focusing his campaign on appealing to Latino voters. Whether or not he can convince them will be determined in November, but this is a promising start for the Texas Senate candidate.

An Iraqi soccer player was detained for hours when he arrived here for the World Cup. A Somali referee was outright denied entry. Iran's team is not allowed to stay in the U.S. The World Cup is supposed to bring the world together. Instead, Trump is using it as an excuse to be racist and cruel.

If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire tax, we could fully cover free community college in America.

SUMNER COUNTY: “Millersville city commissioner David Gregory, 76, arrested and faces charges of Continuous Sexual Assault of a Child and Aggravated Sexual Battery… a bond of $750,000… sexual abuse involving multiple children spanning decades...” fox17.com/news/local/m...

JD Vance’s spin on Trump & the Epstein Files is absolutely bonkers. Trump and Epstein were close friends for nearly a decade. That’s not up for debate.

US Secretary of State Rubio plans a trip to the Middle East next week. The visit will include Kuwait, UAE, and Bahrain - Axios.

The Trump administration’s lawless killing spree at sea continues.

Serious legal experts have credibly accused Trump 2.0 of grave international crimes, including: Crimes against humanity (boat strikes) Enforced disappearance (sending people to CECOT) Crime of aggression (war on Iran) Certainly a history making administration.

When North Carolina created a new clemency process, 191 incarcerated people who were convicted as children petitioned to the review board. The board led to clemency to only 14 people, and then it disbanded.

A Black man with the surname Freeman scored for the USA on Juneteenth in a home World Cup match.

Trump: "We fought very well with Israel, and we've had a great relationship with Israel. We're very formidable. And Bibi Netanyahu, he's a warrior prime minister and he should be acknowledged as that. He should. They should give him credit…We really fought hard with Israel."

NEWS: A senior Iranian official is accusing the U.S. of already violating the new memorandum of understanding. Ebrahim Azizi said Washington's actions show it "lacks the will" to earn Iran's trust and warned that continued violations would bring a "smart and deterrent response."

WaPo: “What’s one bill you regret voting for?” Lauren Boebert: “Juneteenth.”

If the government warned us that space aliens were invading Earth, 35% of Americans would say, "No their not."

The grift that keeps on grifting.

FFS! From the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to his Iran War... TRUMP IS A FVCK UP!

The two likeminded warmongers, trump and Bibi, deserve one another.

Juneteenth marks the celebration of America's second independence day. Like the people in this photo—Texans celebrating Juneteenth in 1900—we know that progress hasn't made our union perfect. But we can recommit to reaching toward that more perfect union together. Happy Juneteenth.

This Juneteenth, we should remind ourselves of two facts: 1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. It’s as simple as that.

DOD: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth will travel tomorrow to San Diego, California as the Honorary Starter at the NASCAR "Race the Base" at NAS Coronado. 😵‍💫

More Ignorance than Political Ideology….

Is it just me, or does anyone else see the Strait of Hormuz.

Bob Kagan on U.S.-Iran MoU: "It's not a deal and it's not gonna lead to a deal…Trump has paid the Iranians billions for a fig leaf that allows him to come back to the U.S. and say, 'I've got a deal, peace is at hand'…Iran gives up absolutely nothing in return."

Trump just concluded a war with Iran, and the only people who think the US won are on the administration’s payroll. Even some of them probably harbor secret doubts. That may be why Marco Rubio is letting JD Vance take the lead in selling this dog’s breakfast. wapo.st/4xFUV3Z

The Dialog leaks are just a window into a much more dangerous structure. Peter Thiel, Elon Musk & the extended PayPal Mafia are building a parallel government designed to swallow the United States from the inside out. They have created a Trojan state. www.mind-war.com/p/government...

On the invitation to Hereticon, an event put on by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, it says: “Maybe if you aren’t trying to destroy the world, you aren’t trying hard enough.” #ThingsTheAntichristSays

Lisa Ann Walter is an actress, comedian, and producer who proudly calls Washington, D.C. her hometown. Born and raised in the area, Walter marched in protests and later went to college here, spending plenty of time at the Library of Congress. She explains how D.C. became America’s capital.

Trump is out there negotiating business deals between companies, and the right just shrugs. Where is my former party? Where is the party of Ronald Reagan, the free market, and limited government? And most of all, where is the TEA PARTY??? open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

“Anyone who saw the images of a bloated and stuporous Trump wandering around the meetings of the G7 conference this week—or who heard his blatant & patently ridiculous contradictions—would not be surprised to learn that he’s increasingly losing touch with reality.” open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Among other things we note very clearly that trump is an unrepentant warmonger who could start bombing again (that or other countries) and that he has aggressively fallen out with Netanyahu before only to have made up and backed each other’s most brutal policies

🇺🇸 This is wild. Laura Loomer – a major #MAGA blogger who once praised Putin as a “defender of traditional values,” wrote for RT, and called Russia freer than the US – sent reporter Andrew Moore to Ukraine. Now, Loomer admits: “We fell for Russian propaganda. I fell for it.” 1/3

PM Carney didn’t mince words: “Putin is going to lose this war. It’s only a matter of time.” Canada, Germany, Britain, and France all see the same reality: Russia has burned through lives, money, and credibility for a war it cannot win. #Carney#Ukraine #USDemocracy #Pinks

A love letter of sorts to the dream that was the reflecting pool. It was supposed to cost $1.5 million or $15 million. Biden or maybe Obama probably both of them spent $100 million to try to fix it. It was going to be American Flag Blue a dark blue color and be wonderful.

"The FAA is working with Palantir to see if AI can help prevent collisions and close calls on airport runways" is a sentence that makes me never want to get on an airplane again.

I bet this greenwater saga ends with Donald deciding to use chlorine to make it look a swimming pool but ends up making a bunch of ducks sick, symbolically and metaphorically marking the beginning of his lame duck status.
