The Pujo Committee: the most important congressional investigation you've never heard of. It was the basis for Louis Brandeis's best-selling book Other People's Money.

CHU: Do you agree with President Trump that you also do not care about Americans' financial situation? BESSENT: Who was the president during World War 1? CHU: ... ... can you answer my question? BESSENT: Who was the president during World War 1?

Republican nominee for US Senate in NC Michael Whatley really loves the Carolina Hurricanes hockey team but when asked to name a single player on their roster twice he can’t do it.

EXCLUSIVE: Judge J. Michael Luttig tells MeidasTouch that a major shift has taken place in American politics—and credits the federal judiciary for bringing about “the effective end to this presidency.” Read his full statement:

The Pentagon has quietly hired a J6 rioter. Elias Irizarry entered the Capitol through a broken window carrying a metal pole and pleaded guilty, he is now a political appointee in the Defense Department that oversees irregular warfare and counterterrorism. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

MontCo PA got lots of support for closing the ICE camps this morning…and triggered our usual weak MAGA white men! Oaks PA, Philly Suburbs, 6/3/2026 @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social

look at how swollen and disfigured Trump's right hand looks during his new podcast appearance with Miranda Devine

Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, a former senior Trump administration official, said she resigned last month in part because she was increasingly frustrated with the lack of oversight of the intelligence community’s use of taxpayer funds—including gold bullion. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4dNTc4K

“I don’t think this is a win for public safety. I don’t think it’s a win for the officers. I don’t think it’s a win for the public,” EFF’s @Maassive.bsky.social told @azfamily.com of AI-generated police reports. www.azfamily.com/2026/06/04/...

None of these awful men deserve the benefit of the doubt that they'll be wise stewards of modern technological evolution, whether it's software, hardware, or the broader internet.

right. There's about a hundred other issues I didn't even have time to get into. Though I did mention some of that in a previous post:

the technofascists also lobotomized all our regulators who'd enforce any sort of ethical and labor guardrails (if we had any), which I didn't really get into that is...bad

I wrote about a particularly embarrassing few weeks for AI hype, and how big tech is desperate to get ahead of an economic collapse they'll be directly responsible for (in more ways than one)

Why does a president need immunity from committing TAX FRAUD unless he is and has been committing tax fraud?

Nathaniel Frum is the Tom Nichols of David Frums.

As a woman I can tell you that learning to talk sports intelligently does not endear you to the males of our species. I once was talking to a group of male college classmates about football and when one of them said Emmitt Smith went to Florida State, I politely corrected him. I was canceled.

Or Coach Walz when he ran against "irregular" guy JD Vance.

Ranted on camera with @dahlialithwick.bsky.social about the Supreme Court's awful shadow docket decision expanding Callais to nuke *constitutional* claims against racist voter discrimination. Because slaying the Voting Rights Act wasn't enough. Watch here! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdLe...

UPDATE: Albanian police are now responding to protests of Jared Kushner’s luxury resort “with water cannons and tear gas.”

"The Trump administration’s latest move to deploy Justice Department investigators against Carroll is not only an attempt to distort the rule of law to vilify her and her colleagues, but it also sends a clear signal to all of us. Go public, risk retaliation."

This is a good, important decision affirming the SEC's authority to obtain a disgorgement award in a cases where there's no explicit showing that investors lost money because of fraud. But if the court ever agrees with Thomas that disgorgement requires a jury trial, that would hurt SEC enforcement.

FWIW I suspect that the justices' scramble to craft opinions in the Alabama shadow docket case over the past week delayed the writing of opinions in merits cases and kept us from getting more rulings today. They may clear some of that backlog next Thursday—wouldn't be surprised by 5 or 6 opinions.

Every time I think they're sick of the 5th Circuit's nonsense, then one of their stupid decisions hits the shadow docket... and SCOTUS lets it stand. (e.g., NetChoice v. Fitch).

Kyle Duncan, an ultra-partisan Trump appointee, authored the 5th Circuit decision that just got reversed. He also wrote the mifepristone stay that SCOTUS overwhelmingly blocked last month. I wonder if he's competing with his colleague Andrew Oldham to be the nation's most-reversed lower court judge?

The Supreme Court's third and FINAL decision is a great ruling reversing the 5th Circuit in FCC v. AT&T, holding that FCC forfeiture orders do NOT require a jury trial. Roberts writes, only Thomas dissents. This is good news for agency enforcement power. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Trump’s war with Iran caused gas prices to soar. His tariffs are fueling inflation. This is what he is focused on.

The 7th Amendment's monetary threshold—it only applies "where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars"—is relevant to one of the Supreme Court's key conclusions in FCC v. AT&T. Truly never thought I'd see the day it mattered this much. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

We touched on the growing signs of narcissistic collapse, how Donald's cruelty has infected the country, the national trauma & how long it will take to repair the damage. As for now? “We’re so traumatized that most of us don’t even recognize it,” Mary told me. open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Of course Donald would need a helmet and shoulder pads to play....basketball? He is so fkg dumb.

When Dementia and AI meet…

This is the first thing I saw when I woke up. I’m going back to bed until 2029.

He's holding a basketball while wearing football pads is the part that makes me laugh the most lol AI slop posting.

Trump celebrates pride month 🌈

This is a real quote? From the attorney general? www.cnn.com/2026/06/03/p...

Jesus Christ, have some self-respect.

Through two layoffs, Zeeshan Bakhrani won a Food Network show and opened Pakistani-American street food joint Nishaan in New York.

It is simple.

Bolton could be sentenced to up to five years in prison.

Bad luck for Bolton, not getting his case assigned to Aileen Cannon

John Bolton made the classic error of not keeping those classified documents in the shitter at his golf resort

John Bolton reaches plea deal, pleads guilty to mishandling classified docs. Meanwhile, the lifelong criminal who stole all of these classified docs is sitting in the Oval Office.

BREAKING: John Bolton plea deal! Bolton will plead guilty to one felony count of illegal retention of national security documents and pay a $2M fine. Donald was indicted on over 40 counts of the same crime. www.cnn.com/2026/06/04/p...

Thinking// Being endorsed in the primaries by Trump doesn't necessarily mean that you're a loathsome scumbag-- but if you aren't, it was an oversight on Trump's part.

It’s long past time to send CBS a message. The only message that will make an impact is loss of revenue due to loss of viewership and ads. Their Orange god ain’t going to bail them out when the bottom line drops through the floor. Buh fucking bye!!
