Jessica Tarlov pointed out the shortcomings of the deal with Iran. As she got to the part that includes $300 billion for Iran her co-host yelled over her. The $1.7 billion given to Iran during the Obama admin was from frozen Iranian assets held in interest bearing accounts.

He started it. He fucked it all up. He lied & lied & lied & lied about it. He made them stronger. He made us weaker. He surrendered. He lost. And then he gave them billions & billions & billions. MAGA, MAGA.

Trump said he demanded unconditional surrender, we just didn’t know he meant America’s.

Trump is right. It is fake news that the United States is paying Iran 300 million dollars. It is 300 BILLION dollars.

WOW. Trump's former personal attorney — now head of the DOJ — doesn’t deny that after Trump called for Gavin Newsom's arrest, he then ordered a baseless investigation into him and his family!
No comment from Todd Blanche when I asked him multiple times about DOJ investigating Gavin Newsom. He was leaving a meeting with Chuck Grassley as he begins meetings ahead of confirmation hearings. He walked onto an elevator and left with his detail and aides

1/ Iran has reportedly assessed that Donald Trump is "mentally incompetent" and has incorporated psychologists into its negotiating team to adapt the wording of the proposed agreement "as if the recipient were a [mental] patient ... whose capacity is limited." ⬇️

“Mr. Scharf’s memo, in its unassuming way, was a blinking red warning light. The second Trump White House was deliberating an explosive new claim of presidential power: the suspension of habeas rights for unauthorized immigrants.” nytimes.com/2026/06/15/us/po…

#BREAKING: Hayes: “According to the NYTimes, the USPS has proposed a new rule that would allow it to REFUSE to deliver mail ballots in states that don’t turn over voter rolls to the federal government. That vaguely written rule released last week calls on states to compile lists of mail voters that postal service employees would use to screen ballots for eligibility. And if states refuse to comply, the post office could refuse to send their mail ballots. Can you imagine postal workers deputized by the Trump administration just refusing to deliver mail ballots to Californians? What about states that comply? Imagine postal workers at some place reviewing a state’s voter roll to determine who can vote and who can’t? Its unconstitutional, its chaotic, It’s maybe the wildest attempt yet to interfere in free and fair elections, short of course, of using federal agents to criminally investigate voting rights activists, to raid their office, maybe even perp walk them in for charges. That of course has been a classic old school tactic of election-rigging autocrats for generations around the world.” 😳

JFK once invited to dinner 49 Nobel laureates, Robert Frost, William Styron, Ernest Hemingway, James Baldwin, Katherine Anne Porter, John Dos Passos, James Farrell and Lionel and Diana Trilling, and others. His line on the occasion became famous: “I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House—with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone." Some of you were alive when that happened.
“Michelle Obama is a man” shouted on the White House lawn in a ring sponsored by Bud Light only available on Larry Ellison’s Paramount Plus. What a way to celebrate America 250 and the twilight of liberal democracy.

This isn't a celebration of America 250. This is corruption on full display on the White House lawn: ➡️ Trump owns shares in both UFC and Paramount ➡️UFC CEO Dana White donated $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC ➡️ One of the event's sponsors donated $35 million to MAGA, Inc.

MAJOR BREAKING: In a now deleted post by former MMA fighter Daniel Cormier, he posted screenshots of Eric Trump trying to get an insider scoop on whether any of the MMA fights at the White House are rigged so that he could try and illegally make money off of them.. Below is the Direct Messages that Trump allegedly sent Cormier. There is no reason to doubt the legitimacy of these messages.

A damning chart: The US cuts off food aid to majority Muslim countries.
Look what I found: After USAID's Food for Peace program was moved to the USDA last year, Food for Peace seems to have stripped food aid from all Muslim-majority countries. To this amazing chart from @CFR_org, I added a column showing the % of the population that is Muslim:
