Obama: “Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. You’re laughing, but this is what’s happening. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent right now would have tolerated behavior like that from me.” Clip courtesy @meidastouch.com

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

I still can’t believe that a nut job exclaimed, “They’re eating the cats, they’re eating the dogs” and millions of Americans said, “That’s the guy I want as president.”

The title really says it all.

The most dangerous person is the moron who thinks he knows everything with the ability to wreck the fortunes of a country and harm its people. We’ve had many bad presidents, but there was just nobody close to this bad.

Using a children’s book to make fun of children being detained, neglected and isolated from their parents is next level fucked up

Scientists are making huge breakthroughs using mRNA vaccines to treat melanoma, pancreatic cancer, and other cancers. Meanwhile, RFK Jr has cancelled $500 million in funding for mRNA vaccine research. “Make America Healthy Again”

Michael deAdder isn't pulling any punches. I applaud his candor..

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 7,400 cases across 9 states. The FDA just recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,300 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

An excellent boycott list.

"The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." ~ Plato

Just 10 billionaires have already poured over $600 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.

“What, to the American slave, is your Fourth of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham…” —Frederick Douglass, 1852

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

The Supreme Court just weakened the rights of all women to police the activities of TEN TOTAL trans women playing on teams in the NCAA. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you owe a woman $5 million for sexual assault, you also owe the country your resignation.

Hot take, don’t.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

No Father’s Day is complete without this video. At the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Redmond tore his hamstring in the 400 metres semi-final but continued the race limping and, with assistance from his father, managed to complete a full lap of the track as the crowd gave him a standing ovation.

The world's first trillionaire did this

Let’s call them the Trump/Rubio/Vance/Musk cuts. Because all 4 of them worked to make this happen

Wow: Trump visited Walter Reed on Tuesday and met with service members during his checkup, but did not visit any of the 14 U.S. troops injured in the Iran war who are recovering there, per CBS News citing a soldier’s family member and a military official.

Is it political violence when the country’s health secretary suggests sick people deserve to die

BREAKING: in April 2026, *every single one* of the 1,570 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,066 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else.

A room full of the most powerful people in politics and media presumed they were being attacked by an active shooter. They dove under tables and texted loved ones. They feared for their lives. And somehow, not a damn thing will be done by them to push for gun reform tomorrow morning. America.

CATO INSTITUTE: Despite DOGE slashing jobs, government spending in every month of 2025 “was greater than in every other year .. An observer who did not know when DOGE started could not identify it” on a chart. 🤡 www.cato.org/blog/doge-pr...

The instant obliteration of our congressionally mandated development assistance agency—by the world’s richest man and his cabal who “gave zero fucks” (Musk’s exact words) about the mass deaths they caused—is a historic atrocity that should stain everyone who touched it, forever.

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:
