When pointing to "the underbelly of America," make sure to include these three.

Russia continues to terrorize Ukrainian cities,killing and injuring civilians. ▪️ Poltava: Two people were killed and 14 more injured, including six children. Residential buildings, vehicles, enterprise buildings were damaged. ▪️ Zaporizhzhia region: A Russian attack killed five people, injured 13.

"I'm scared..." "It's okay, little one. Don't be afraid anymore. We've got you." Rescuers freed a six-year-old girl trapped under the rubble after Russian guided bombs partially destroyed a residential building in Kharkiv overnight. Heavy equipment was deployed to rescue the kid.

She was whipped by men whose religion, which was created by other men, doesn't think men have the self-control not to be tempted to assault her if they simply see her hair. Seems that the wrong people are being whipped.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni fired back after Trump doubled down on his attacks, telling him that his “constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless” Meloni: “My popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours.”

Senate map update. Alaska is leaning Democratic again, but only with strong turnout. That puts Democrats at 50 seats. 50 isn’t enough. A 50-50 Senate gives JD Vance the tie-breaking vote. If Democrats win Maine, North Carolina, and Alaska, they’ll need Iowa, Ohio, or Texas to take control. Vote!

🇺🇸🇮🇹 Giorgia Meloni on Trump’s statement: Neither I nor Italy ever beg.

Sneaky bastard Blanche won't comply with judge's order to put in writing that the damnable $1.8B slush fund Trump wants to pay off Jan 6 insurrectionists with is truly dead, dead, dead. The malfeasance of these criminals is just breathtaking. www.cnn.com/2026/06/19/p...

Air Bribe One is revealed, and it’s as tacky and wasteful and almost certainly bugged by the Qataris as expected

“Aussie boys are on a bender, Donald Trump is a sex offender.”

Italian undersecretary and senator Fazzolari: “It is unclear whether out of intent or ineptitude Trump is wrecking the historic relations between the US and Europe. With his inappropriate outbursts, he managed no easy feat - to make the US unpopular across the entire continent.”

Iran’s FM is disputing reports that the Strait of Hormuz has been closed. However, FT reports Iranian forces fired warning shots at ships and broadcast that the strait would remain closed until key conditions are met. The situation remains volatile, and the state of the strait is unclear.

MELONI: “.. Trump’s statements are completely fabricated. I’m frankly shocked. I don’t know why the president of the United States behaves this way towards his own allies, and it’s not the first time it’s happened.” @cnn.com 🇮🇹 www.cnn.com/2026/06/19/p...

We have a plausible explanation for why the US military underperformed badly against Iran and did far less damage to the Iranian military than it had claimed. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Whoa, such a great promo! Ukrainian marketing at its finest. Fire Point demonstrated today's strikes on Moscow at an arms expo in Paris. Its drones were on the video. A ballistic FP-9 missile is nearby, still waiting for its turn to visit Moscow.

Guess we f*cked around and found out, an insightful Moscow resident says as he watches the Moscow oil refinery burning.

How about with $300,000,000,000.00?

We flew B2 bombers halfway around the world we fought for 40 days we killed their supreme leader and then we handed them $300 billion. That’s not a win that’s what happens when you give a clown a flamethrower. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

"A nation can survive its fools, even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within....for the traitor appears not to be a traitor...he rots the soul of a nation...he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist." ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero

Please keep the letters about the Forest Service coming. Our push back works.

Nigel Farage pocketed a £5m “gift” and hid it from the public. Now he may be lobbying to help keep lining the pockets of his billionaire Thai-based crypto backer. The stench of this scandal grows by the day. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

Ossoff: The president has been humiliated on the world stage. Many Americans are increasingly concerned about his stability and his capacity for the office. It’s deeply distressing to Americans to see a president so incompetent attempting and failing to represent the nation.

Ossoff on Mike Collins: "He's pro-war. He's pro-tariffs. He's pro-cutting your healthcare. He's also a notorious bigot and antisemite, and an election-denying extremist who is only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman, and is a Trump puppet who will serve his needs & agenda mindlessly"

France has joined Germany in cancelling their Palantir contracts, becoming the 2nd country in as many weeks to do so — the UK appears poised to follow suit AOC: “Immediately investigate Palantir — (Thiel’s) secretive data mining company that has weaponized information against immigrant communities”

NYT: Can you now say whether you will hold anyone in your administration accountable for the strike on a school that killed more than 100 children? TRUMP: No. It's such a strange question to be asked. It's a long time ago. Mistakes are made. I would ask Pete Hegseth that question.

Libraries all across the country are recataloging The Art of the Deal as "Fiction."

Do go on.

It is so much worse than you realize. It approaches an unconditional surrender. This is well beyond the defeat we experienced in Vietnam. Read below for a full breakdown and analysis of every horrifying term in the Trump-Iran Surrender.

MACRON: Americans tried to negotiate with Russia. What was the result of those efforts? Nothing. We Europeans also tried to negotiate with Russia. What happened? Nothing. Zelenskyy also said, "I’m ready to negotiate with Russia." What did Putin say? "No."

Ron Johnson suggests vaccines cause SIDS, but then starts stammering when he tries to come up for some support for this claim: "I just read it ... don't quote me."

Christian Nationalism is a cancer on society

Maybe instead of renaming the “Department of Defense” the “Department of War” Pete should have more accurately called it the “Department of Expensive Humiliation”

Where are all of the so-called outraged congresspeople who claimed they would read the unredacted Epstein files on camera?
