Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar. “The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”

People may have forgotten, but Donald Trump secretly signed a letter of intent to build Trump Tower Moscow during his 2016 presidential campaign, while telling the public he had nothing to do with Russia. His attorney even emailed Putin's spokesman for help in getting the project done.

Clever thread.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

It was revealed the president's bank accounts got shut down by Capitol One for money laundering but the media is too obsessed with Francesca Hong's take on Thanksgiving to notice.

Her explanation on Maggie Haberman perfectly articulates what we “scrapper” journalists from blue collar families were up against — and why some of us quit the thrown game.

From my Semafor newsletter: The number of direct conflicts between states reached its highest level since World War II… • 65 active conflicts • 8 interstate conflicts • Global peacefulness deteriorated for the 12th consecutive year 🔥📦 🌍✌️

1. The contents here are disgusting. 2. The fact there was no roll-call on the committee vote is disgraceful. 3. The fact that I had to get the real story of what happened without a paywall from a foreign news media site — helps me understand points 1 and 2. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/6/...

Trump called fallen service members "losers" and "suckers" — according to his chief of staff — he accused soldiers with PTSD of not being "strong," demeaned POWs, and insulted Gold Star parents & a widow. When he pretends to honor service members, don't believe it.

A “fun” thing about the 1776 number is it makes it more clear how much the settlement agreement is corrupt. Todd Blanche signed his name to an official government document claiming this figure was “based on the projected valuation of future claimants’ claims,” which is clearly, obviously, a lie.

Also, the rounding is covering up that it's reportedly a $1.776 billion pot. Because someone thought making it 1776 would be hilarious. 🙄

Congress works 140 days a year and earns $174K annually, plus full benefits. How can anyone survive on that without a few stock trades and a little insider trading? They get 225 days off a year and think it’s okay to hold the federal minimum wage at $7.25 an hour for 17 years.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.
