This is today's MAGA party, who control the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branch of government

“There was a thumb on the scale for the president’s version of events that I felt was a level of political influence that I had never seen in 37 years at CBS News” Scott Pelley, describing how Bari Weiss tried to make 60 Minutes lie about Renee Good for the benefit of the Trump administration

At the risk of stating the obvious: when reactionaries say elections are "rigged," what they mean -- in their hearts, in their guts -- is that their opponents are illegitimate and it only counts if they win. That's what they've always meant.

Another two waves (at least) of missiles launched from Iran. One impact in West Bank so far.

"I dreamed of the mountains again / and felt the rising joy / as the road wound upward" Read “The Road Wound Upward,” a poem by Karl Kirchwey:

Scott Pelley with @lulugn.bsky.social on being told the President had commented on his firing. (I’m not crying, you’re crying etc)

In addition to desecrating the hallowed ground of the US D-Day cemetery in Normandy by advocating the fascist ideology of racial purity, Hegseth also delivered another slap to US veterans and service members by striking the Mormon church from the Pentagon's list of "approved" Christian religions.

WELKER: “You insisted no new wars.” TRUMP: “I didn’t guarantee no war.” @thebulwark.com : *RECEIPTS*

NEW: The DOJ and Jeanine Pirro can't seem to come up with a reason to dismiss the case against the Oath Keepers. That's because there is no good reason. I go over her latest filing here: www.youtube.com/live/Jua_tJH...

Four-byline alert: 🚨 JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel said Sunday that Iran has launched missiles at it in the first such bombardment since a fragile ceasefire took effect in early April, complicating mediation efforts for a deal to end the war. apnews.com/article/iran...

If you need to indict people in order to keep your job, that's a corruption of the U.S. justice system. I've seen it before. At the time, I spoke truth to power, and was punished by DOJ for it. People need to speak up against it. www.cnn.com/2026/04/21/p...

Should have expected this after his ridiculous, and embarrassing, UN speech: “If you don’t get away from the green energy scam your country is going to fail,”

The folks on Fox News often just make things up. Chuck Devore claimed "Biden put his thumb on the scale" in terms of the last Census. Lawrence Jones claimed California has taken weeks to count the votes from the last primary - when it had been a few days.

“The country imagines itself at once as this beacon of freedom…but then it turns around and imagines itself as a White republic.” Best-selling author @esglaude.bsky.social explains the history White America refuses to face. With @mehdirhasan.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/mythical-a...

Shame on them all

Trump filed 60 cases claiming the 2020 election was rigged. He lost them all His own Attorney General said the election was fair Yet today he says it was crooked-then insults Meet the Press and storms out Stop begging him to stay, Katie Weller Call him a liar to his face and lay out the proof

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

Trump, election night 2024: "I'm not going to start wars. I’m going to stop wars." Trump, Sunday: "I didn’t guarantee no war." @katierogersnyt.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/live/2026/06...

FINALLY! And, well done!

I like Presidents who don't call women, "crooked, ugly, piggy and stupid" when they don't know how to answer a question.

Trump has used NDAs his entire career to protect himself from the truth. Now he’s trying to use them on the entire federal workforce.

Trump wants every federal worker to sign an NDA. The goal is exactly what it sounds like: silence the people inside government who see what’s actually going on. If a federal employee witnesses waste, fraud, corruption, or abuse of power, an NDA makes it harder to speak out.

Geez!

Former Ohio Congressional candidate Carl Setzer delivered a masterclass testimony against data centers on June 1. A clip:

Everybody should listen to this. A more articulate and specific critique of the AI financing speculative bubble than I’ve heard pretty much anywhere else. I guess he didn’t make it past the primary? May not be the last we see of him.

Heather Cox Richardson was one of the (too) few who accurately described the fascist-inspired malice behind Hegseth's speech. Here's a bit from her post yesterday.

Almost every report on Hegseth's D-Day speech under-reports how grotesque it was. Hegseth chose the anniversary of D-Day, when thousands of Americans and allies died while leading the fight against fascism, to extol and promote the vile, race-based tenants at the heart of fascism.

"Instead of holding North Korean–style Cabinet meetings where everyone goes around the room kissing Donald Trump's ass, I'm going to ask you to come clean with the American people." — Rep. Ted Lieu to Marco Rubio trib.al/05tRJj6

Endless corruption: “A group of lawmakers demanded answers from the White House following a ProPublica investigation revealing a top aide to the president intervened to secure a $620 million Pentagon loan to a startup linked to his eldest son.” www.propublica.org/article/dona...

Trump "won one of the narrowest wins in modern American history [in 2024]... He lies, he says he won a landslide... Pull up my piece..." Great moment when I took over the PBD podcast and delivered some hard facts to his right-wing viewers. Full show/debate: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT3g...

🔥 “Trump has made a mockery of it all. There are corrupt people in government - nobody like this.” Hunter Biden on the obscene self-enrichment of Trump, Don Jr, Eric, Kushner, Ivanka, etc… and those who attacked him relentlessly for far less, without evidence, are silent.

Updated numbers.

I’m actually enjoying all the right-wingers who spend 365 days a year trashing California suddenly melting down over California election results. Democrats are leading because California is a deep blue state. This isn’t new or a mystery.

Hegseth uses his D-Day anniversary speech in Franch to take veiled shots at NATO and European immigration policies

The 25th Amendment requires Congress to create a panel of experts to determine if a President is unfit. Jamie Raskin’s new bill just makes it real! Mike Johnson will bury it unless we force him to act. Tell your Reps to pass this bill!

Gift Article: A great read!

Just noting that 172,000 jobs created is better than expected, but would have been far *below average* during the Biden administration. Yet Politico describes it as "'ON FIRE': Blowout jobs report" www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

Trump is upset that the stock market is down following the release of today's jobs report

So… If God created it, or allows it to happen to your body, then you shouldn’t intervene By this logic, - Men don’t need Viagra - No one needs any type of prosthetic - Medicine is irrelevant - Surgery, in general, is not needed Do I have that right?

Good for them!

Ditch the contacts…protest in glasses. Don't risk a chemical catastrophe in your eyes.

“The Trump administration [allegedly] sought to assign bogus death dates to 2.7M people living in the U.S., a flagrantly illegal misuse of Social Security Administration (SSA) data intended to pressure immigrants into leaving the country, a new government insider account reveals.” 6/5/26 … 1/

Can’t be repeated enough…

I went to Delaney Hall to follow up on conversations I had this morning with family members of detainees. ICE and GEO Group did not let me speak with detainees. Why do they insist on hiding the truth even after getting almost $1 billion of tax dollars?

HUGE constitutional rights violation.

Do understand the concept of the “hall pass.” thehill.com/homenews/sen...
