Trump is brilliant if his purpose is to squander America's influence. But if his aim is to contain Iran's nuclear program, his war of choice provides a master class in incompetence. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

NEW from Katie Phang: The DOJ still has not begun translating and reviewing foreign-language documents in the Epstein Files, despite a federal judge ordering Blanche to “immediately” start. As Judge Sullivan put it: “The public and the victims have the right to know what the hell is going on.”

He didn’t change. They did.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren caught it: up to $21 million missing from Trump's presidential library fund. She's given the foundation until July 29 to explain where it went. Somebody's finally asking. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/we-read-tr...

Ballou on Epstein Files Lawsuit: The judge ordered them to produce these foreign-language documents, and the DOJ’s response was, “Look, Judge, we told Congress that we weren’t going to follow this part of the law, and Congress didn’t do anything.” That’s not how the law—or any law—works.

He Should Be Fired Immediately and Investigated…..

Totalitarianism…..

This statement alone is cause to remove the POTUS. The President swears to uphold our Constitution. An honest & strong Congress would have removed him when he said “l don’t know”.

The U.S. is just a few dozen measles cases away from exceeding the number of cases recorded in 2025.

Hey Chicago! An ICE contractor is trying to buy our parking meters — and City Council decides whether that happens THIS WEEK. We've got time to stop this, but we need as many people as possible to fight back: tinyurl.com/icepark

Grandpa has had a sustained meltdown this morning in Ankara at the NATO summit. It's all over the news around the world. And in the US, it's hardly being reported, other than by Aaron Rupar. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is a significant deal. I’m not sure who convinced him to do this. Or how he didn’t recognize this is bad for Russia. Also lol at the idea that they didn’t tell Raytheon about it yet and they are announcing it in public.

This is why we read books.

PBS: All told, 321 diamonds, 56 sapphires, 13 emeralds and six rubies encrust the watch-sized gold ring presented this week to Bill White, the U.S. ambassador to Belgium, to give to U.S. President Donald Trump. www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

Rep Rich McCormick (R-GA) talks about Clausewitz and makes clear from the instant he opens his mouth that he's never read Clausewitz. It's a MAGA thing. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Oh America, you're so f**ked...

In Trump and Rupert Murdoch parlance, "far-left" means anyone who opposes Trump.

The $400m flying bribe has shelves of fake books, some titled “Library”.

Jack Smith: James Comey, Letitia James, Jerome Powell. There's not criminality here. I mean, seashells?? The only reasonable explanation is the president has it out for these people. He has people who are his former personal lawyers who are going to do what he says, regardless of the facts or law

Brilliant. How real trolling is done.

Jack Smith: "I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime"

US & Iran did not reach final deal in Switzerland, but agreed on a "60-day framework to keep negotiating". It creates working groups on nuclear issues, sanctions, monitoring, plus Lebanon deconfliction cell and communications channel for commercial shipping through Hormuz. More talks this week.

Fed courts are acting as a check on executive efforts to alter the historical record. A fed court ordered the Trump admin to restore historical signs and exhibits it stripped from national parks, calling the effort an attempt to "rewrite the Nation's history with a white-out pen." zurl.co/9C29X

An willfully ignorant president whose only interests are ones that benefit him. Not interested in fairness. Not interested in doing the job he was elected to do. Not interested in anything the Constitution says. Constantly bringing disgrace to the office of the Presidency.

@eggerdc.bsky.social on Trump's response to the Reflecting Pool: "[Trump] first tried to insist the problems were invented...when they became too obvious for even his fans to ignore, he pivoted to denouncing them as deliberate sabotage from his enemies." Check out the latest from "Morning Shots":

Fray Juan Bautista Maíno, The Adoration of the Magi (Madrid 1612–14). Done for the monastery church of San Pedro Mártir in Toledo. While working on the painting, Maíno decided to become a Dominican monk, and entered the monastery as a novice. He was still required to finish the painting.

BREAKING: Judge Patrick Schiltz has quashed several DOJ grand jury subpoenas aimed Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, saying they were part of a retaliatory effort over their refusal to aid Trumpa dmin immigration enforcement efforts. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Is anyone really surprised that Trump was outsmarted by a single-cell organism?

Watters: Is like blind loyalty to an idiot, does that override that? Jessica: Well, you do blind loyalty to an idiot every day.

Where are the Epstein files? Where are the Epstein trials?

Such a truthful representation of today’s events at the White House 😡🤬

My pledge to ignore you-know-who all weekend has been quite relaxing, and generally easier than I thought, made so, so much easier by losing myself all weekend in the more important stuff of life like my daughter’s wedding and my grandkids’ baptisms.

In a nutshell.

Now they're fighting... the Weather Channel

Not believing in science really comes back to bite you, doesn’t it?

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Today, the Russians again struck the special territory around the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. A “shahed” hit one of the buildings of the Centralized Spent Fuel Storage Facility. An extremely critical infrastructure facility – and an extremely vile Russian strike.

Q: "Would you still vote for FISA reauthorization if Pulte is in the spot?" Rep. Jim Himes: "Knowing Bill Pulte's background, experience, and what he's done, I don't think I could look myself in the mirror in the morning and say this is a guy who should have control and access to this authority."

Why did Trump choose Pete Hegseth for his Secretary of Defense? Because Trump likes people with no heart, no brains, and no sense of morality.

The good news: You are still allowed to bring your middle fingers.

"Congress, like Parliament, represents a grand inquest of the people on how our government is being conducted, and making sure that it's being conducted for the people's best interests. And that is of vital importance today when you have a lawless criminal president."
