Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Raskin made a holy shit observation on MS Now this afternoon: Since taking office, Trump has made a million dollars per hour for himself. Every hour, he has made more than twice the president’s annual salary.

"I was not shocked that he helped somebody. My shock is that he was murdered. And no one has given us the complete truth or anyone has been held accountable. And it's been 7 months! ... there was more effort in vilifying him than pursuing justice" -- Alex Pretti's parents

There are a lot of evil shits in this administration, but this gormless ghoul is right up there at the top. I hope @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social have a Project 2025-sized playbook of investigations and inquiries into what he's been up to, because I bet we only know a fraction of his fuckery

after the indy car race today, that's pretty much a wrap for the commemoration of america's 250th. if it's all felt a little underwhelming, don't forget that there was supposed to be a lot more celebrating all across the country, but trump cut funding for all of it: www.notus.org/agencies/dog...

What makes this even more grotesque is that Doris Miller was denied the medal of honor when he was alive just because he was black. bsky.app/profile/carl...

The Trump administration has been quietly selling thousands of wild mustangs to slaughterhouses for as little as $25 a horse — more than doubling sales since taking office, according to a Times analysis of government records

President Donald Trump said he has directed the Pentagon to “substantially reduce” joint military exercises with South Korea, reducing support for a longtime ally while praising North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln have no fresh food. The Secretary of Defense spent millions on Lobsters. Ordinary Americans are struggling to pay for food, gas, and rent. The Trump family has made BILLIONS from insider trading and graft. This regime doesn’t care about us—only themselves.

I don’t understand the logic in scrapping the electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS), and neither do the navy personnel who operate these carriers. Just changing shit for no reason.

Rep. Ralph Norman, who’s in a Senate runoff with Lindsey Graham’s sister Darline, secretly urged a military-backed coup in 2021 to keep Trump in power. But the NY Times thinks it’s no big deal. In its last 92 stories mentioning Norman over 3 years and 7 months, it hasn’t stated that fact once. 1/7🧵

The president is refusing to spend taxpayer money assisting Americans suffering from natural disasters solely because their states didn't vote for him. I know there are a thousand scandals at the moment, but this one deserves some more oxygen at every level.

Private equity is price gouging firefighters now. Yes, you read that right. Firefighters. Is this the most evil thing they've done yet?

Confronted with an obvious need for renewable energy, Trump admin officials used taxpayer money to scuttle an offshore wind project. Then they did it again. And again. And again. And this week, again. Total price tag in wasted taxpayer money: ~$4 billion and counting www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

The U.S. Constitution begs to differ.

"The Trump administration admitted that it terminated nearly 300 federal research grants 'solely because' the projects were connected to states that voted against Donald Trump in 2024 and had two Democratic senators in office, according to court filings." www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Good framing.

To be clear: Senate Republicans are caving on a deal that gives Donald Trump and his family immunity from tax audits potentially worth $100 million.

FLASH: Justice Dept seeks to dismiss Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn Trump Admin acknowledges: "Damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor"

While you were over here trying to figure out how you were going to cover the rent and food—this guy was over there using $5.1 million in taxpayer money YOU paid into the system to cover these statues in 23 karat gold. Yeah, he did that.

Trump reportedly used nearly $700,000 in taxpayer funds designated for the National Park Service to replace a White House walkway, despite publicly claiming he paid for the renovations himself. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Overland couple shot dead in Guatemala after local ICE stop led to deportations www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...

It's insane to me that such a colossal failure is being left to continue failing because "no one knows" who to replace him with when @benwikler.bsky.social is right there.

Breaking News: The U.S. has recorded more measles cases in 2026 than in any other year since the disease was declared eliminated in 2000. nyti.ms/4x0CLc2

Rachel Maddow’s description of Juan Sebastian Guerrero killed by ICE in Maine is a must see. She explains what happened w/out being graphic, and somehow that makes it even more powerful. Remember Alex, Pretti, and Renée? There have been no prosecutions. Still no justice. We know how this goes.

The ICE agents who shot and killed a 26-year-old father in Biddeford, Maine, were searching for a different person, per DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin. The man they shot was authorized to work in the United States and had been issued a Social Security number.

Nurse anesthetist students like Gavin aren't allowed to work while they're in school, meaning the Trump administration's new cap on their student loan amounts will SEVERELY limit who can even pursue this specialty. Gavin's right — the ladder is being pulled up.

The Trump administration finalized a rule Friday that changes how agencies enforce the Endangered Species Act. The administration narrowed the definition of "harm" under the landmark law.

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti

A new Washington Post report says President Donald Trump's golf course redevelopment plan would destroy "Washington's oldest grove of cherry trees," the sole survivors of Japan's original 1910 gift to America.

Donald Trump's idea of "The worst of the worst". ICE arrests Catholic nun from the Daughters of Mary Mother of Mercy congregation while she was on her way to Sunday Mass. South Texas lawmakers scramble to intervene with ICE to get her released: www.tpr.org/news/2026-06...

The Trump administration just paid Invenergy $765 million to cancel four wind projects. That brings the running total to roughly $2.5 billion in taxpayer money spent to stop energy from being built. Think about that. At a time when electricity demand is rising,

I would like a side-by-side account of the cost of: the Iran war, the reflecting pool, the ballroom, the Qatari plane, the WWE fight; DOJ settlement payoffs (like to Ashli Babbitt) and any other vanity projects I'm missing; compared with all of the "waste and fraud" supposedly saved by the DOGE cuts

I make cat sofas ... every one is unique.. craftysharp.etsy.com

Jesus Christ, this is such a national embarrassment.

New documents obtained by The Washington Post show the price to build the ballroom has ballooned to $600 million, up from the initial $200 million estimate, with more than half expected to be paid by U.S. taxpayers. wapo.st/4vOuwPD

for a hot minute, trump's iran war was supposedly about his concern for the safety of the iranian people, and particularly iran's dissidents and activists. now he's deporting (to central african republic, for some reason??) iranian women who fled here: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/w...

Are you listening? You Republicans on Social Security & Medicare? They’re coming for YOU THIS TIME.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Republicans just BLOCKED Sen. Richard Blumenthal's attempt to get Veterans their retirement pay WITHOUT cutting disability benefits. Republicans will write blank checks to the military, then penny pinch when it's time to support our vets.

"The Trump Administration will begin sending ships to begin pulling up the instruments later this month... The ocean observation system was designed to operate for at least 25 years, meaning the decision would result in the loss of more than a decade of data..." www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/c...
