Sure, Katie Zacharia never passed the bar. But Pete Hegseth has never passed one either.

Diesel prices have officially hit a record high.

Let’s take a live look at “Lake America.”

Canada's largest ice cream company used to source its fruits and nuts from U.S. suppliers — some for over 30 YEARS. Then, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian products. So, what did Chapman's do? They called Italy. They called Spain. They signed multi-year contracts with European suppliers.

Just straight-up "declining" to get a security clearance? Now where have I heard that before...

😂

From time to time the horror subsides for a moment or two and is replaced with the boredom of seeing that Man's idiot face and that country's embarrassing impotence against him, day in day out. They told the whole world every day how "great" they are long before he came around. What junk #America

A reminder that we’re running $2 trillion deficits. Here it is in visual form: (via B of A)

Actions are so divorced from consequences in this era that I am confident Bari Weiss will continue to run CBS incompetently long after that fact has stopped being newsworthy

⚡️Russia's Saratov Oil Refinery reportedly struck by Ukrainian drones. Ukraine's military reportedly carried out a drone attack against the Saratov Oil Refinery late on May 30, Russian Telegram media channels reported.

Breaking News: The FDA has blocked publication of research that found widely used Covid-19 and shingles vaccines were safe.

Donald Trump is not simply stupid. His idiocy is a complex system of ignorance, narcissism, and xenophobia, wrapped in a web of insecurity and covered by a thick layer of self-loathing, afloat in a spiraling, ever-widening miasma of dumb.

My grandfather was a turkey farmer in Ohio & a Democrat. He participated in the March on Washington & he opposed the Vietnam War from the start. If he were alive today, he would be saddened to know that so many farmers were fooled by such an unethical, corrupt and racist grifter.

GOP in a nutshell... #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Hegseth has fired several military generals and commanders, including the secretary of the Navy and now he has Kid Rock addressing the pentagon officials on the Strait of Hormuz. If you’re still not sure, the USA has reached whole country status, here you go.

🔥🔥And the sickest Trump burn of the year goes to 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O'Donnell:

Trump lashes out at ‘60 Minutes’ anchor for reading alleged gunman’s manifesto

#60minutes Caving to #Trump. What a joke! Just another staged event to distract from Epstein and Iran! Trump has taken over the media! All part of "Dark Enlightenment"! Fuck em!

These Iranian trolls are savages and I’m loving it. USI. United States of Israel. youtu.be/fgHn7PI55J4?...

6 weeks since Donald Trump said the war was "over, pretty much" 3 weeks since he said the U.S. will be finished in 2-3 wks, "with or without a deal" - Iran are "desperate to make". Asked for an update last night, he responds "don't rush me".

Donald Trump, the Warren Jeffs of the MAGA cult, pedophilia and all! #Trump #MAGA #Epstein #corruption

Peter Thiel being confronted by a citizen journalist about his connections to Jeffrey Epstein "Any comments on the Epstein connections? You were meeting with him." "People are waking up to what you are doing." 💯🎯💯🎯

The program highlighted the issue with the president’s claims about Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

"Not a snowball's chance in hell" are we ever going to forget about the young children in those Epstein files!

Congratulations to Mark Carney and his government on their majority win tonight. Glad to see the solid rejection of MAGA style political theatre and rage farming. #cdnpoli #carney #Canadastrong

Trump appoints JD Vance as the Fraud Czar.

Savannah Guthrie returns to "TODAY", more than two months after her mother disappeared: "It's good to be home."

“I don’t know” is the most honest thing Trump has said the entire Iran War. His plan was delusional wishful thinking. He didn’t grasp the risks. He thought he’d decapitate the regime and they’d capitulate like Venezuela. He doesn’t understand Iran. He’s out of his depth.

Tump says Putin explained NATO to him. Wow. That explains a lot

"Now, with no real management experience or strategic background, [Hegseth] has the chance to remake the US military in his image, an image and vision roughly equivalent to what you would expect from a 13-year-old boy who had logged too many hours playing Call of Duty on the couch."
