"As a rule, when responding to a bomb threat, ICE isn’t the first law enforcement agency that comes to mind — what are they going to do, detain the bomb for weeks in squalid conditions before deporting it to a country it’s never been to before?..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

BREAKING on MS NOW: The Trump Justice Department has just REFUSED to indicate in a sworn declaration that it's backing off the Trump slush fund — claiming to Judge Brinkema in the EDVA that Todd Blanche's in court testimony should suffice.

"Vance’s bold vision of a new authoritarian world, with the US at its center, seemed to be imperiled. But then came Trump’s defeat in his Iran war, and what could, surprisingly, prove to be Vance’s boldest pro-authoritarian move yet." — @davidrlurie.com

Columbus Dispatch: "Fox News released a poll showing Trump-endorsed candidates trailing Democrats in the races for governor and Senate. And now, all of a sudden, one of Ohio's major get-out-the-vote groups finds Trump agents at their door and in their house..." www.dispatch.com/story/opinio...

President Trump has taken aim at a federal poverty-fighting program focused on reducing unintended pregnancies. Instead of that, the focus of Title X will be “to strengthen family formation and assist clients in achieving healthy pregnancies.” ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/06/19/r...

WaPo: “The US used half of its entire global inventory of THAAD interceptors to defend Israel.”

The cost of Trump’s War to taxpayers, like everything else Trump does, continues to go up far above original estimates. The guy who bankrupted multiple business now has an unlimited amount of money to play with thanks to congressional Republicans.

This unqualified hack is the embodiment of everything dangerous about the Trump administration and Democrats need to be screaming about him nonstop.

Brutal community note

"While Trump has little interest in the ideology & rhetoric underlying 20th century isolationism, Vance has long had a deep interest in reviving & updating it, particularly the advocacy for a kind of 'peace' that just happens to aid authoritarian regimes in conducting expansionist wars unimpeded."

BREAKING: The IRGC says the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until Israel withdraws from Lebanon and U.S. forces leave the region, warning that any ship entering the strait will be targeted

Sam Stein points out to Rep. Mike Turner that his line on Iran has completely shifted from 2021 (when he was saying Biden negotiating with Iran was bad) and now (when he's saying Trump negotiating with Iran is good), but instead of acknowledging his hypocrisy, Turner has a performative crash out

NEWSOM: The Obamas bring a spirit and pride to our nation that’s been so dearly missed 💜

Talarico: I was required by law to report any indication there was abuse at home, and I would hope that the top law enforcement official in Texas would be held to the same standard as a middle school teacher. Ken Paxton had the opportunity to protect a child, but instead he protected a predator

You can call this fraud, theft, or both. Because that's what it is.

We used to have presidents who exhibited character, honesty, integrity, kindness, and empathy. Those are all things that I think all of us long for once again. We were reminded today by Barack Obama that we can have that.

Chris Hayes: Trump’s reflecting pool is looking a lot less “American flag blue” and a lot more “Iranian flag green.”

Hegseth proudly ended the flu vaccine requirement for the military. Following this idiocy, only 40% of new trainees got vaccinated. There’s now a flu outbreak at an AF facility. A new recruit has died, though it is not clear if it was from flu. Now, the flu vaccine is again required there.

Another brazen lie from Captain Condescension JD Vance gets community voted 👇🏽🤥

Trump's lawless ICE operation spent $700 MILLION of your tax dollars on 7 warehouses they’re now trying to get rid of.   Not only is this ICE operation draconian & inhumane, it's an abuse of taxpayer dollars, paid for by their cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. It's twisted.

ICYMI — Hillary Clinton said Israel was “relentless” about trying to get the Obama administration to join them in going to war with Iran.
