Wow the general population in Russia is as brainwashed as MAGAs are in America.

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention. The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean. And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them. Record-breaking temperatures. A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse. The response? Yank out the instruments and walk away. That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency. For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives. The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident. That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first. cnn.com/2026/06/03/climate/o…

"Where are those videotapes the FBI confiscated from Epstein's houses?" Virginia Giuffre wrote that before she died. On Monday, Congress read her words to the man who controls three million unreleased Epstein files. He offered no answer.

BREAKING: The US Justice Department is seeking the names, addresses, and banking information of Reddit and X users, per Bloomberg. The US Attorney's Office for Washington, led by Jeanine Pirro, a close ally of President Donald Trump, has subpoenaed the social media companies as part of criminal investigations, asking for personal information on at least two anonymous posters behind accounts that have chided immigration enforcement efforts.

🇪🇺"We stay with Ukraine": The EU responds to the Russian Foreign Ministry's call to leave Kyiv The European Union's ambassador to Ukraine, Katarina Maternowa, stated that European diplomats will remain in Kyiv despite threats from the aggressor country, Russia. She noted that Russia wants to instill fear, panic, and isolation in Ukraine, but this will not work. "It won't work. The EU is not going anywhere. We stay in Kyiv. We stay with Ukraine," Maternowa assured. She added that threats against diplomats and international organizations are a sign of weakness, not strength. More details obozrevatel.com/ukr/politics…

Want to help stop this last-second redistricting mess? Vote early Tuesday morning. Early voting opens May 26 at 8:30 AM. The Senate cannot reconvene until 11 AM. Break early turnout records before they try to cancel congressional primaries.

Nancy Mace posted today that the gerrymander was a done deal. I'm not saying she's lying ...yes I am. If a man from Muscle Shoals could make the effort to write a damn good song about y'all, seems fair y'all would welcome a chance to introduce AL to SC. youtube.com/watch?v=Q8wpJQav…
Democrats are urging voters to head to the polls in droves under the belief that the more voters who vote Tuesday under existing district lines, the more likely the plans will be thrown out in court. postandcourier.com/politics/…

We cannot stress this enough:   Republicans want to reward these thugs with YOUR tax dollars.
Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was. Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500 pardons and slush fund payoffs.

1. What I found in Trump's new 113-page financial disclosure report. It doesn't look good.

This is critically important. Today is the last day to vote early in the Georgia Supreme Court elections. This is your first chance to use your voice against the attack on voting rights that is happening across the country. Go vote for Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan.

Republicans are going to make taxpayers pay for Trump’s ballroom. All Trump’s claims over 16 months that “donors” were going to pay for it was always a lie and just another con. You will pay for it.

Foreign contributions to political campaigns are banned. Trump found a loophole—crypto—allowing him to rake in hundreds of millions from foreign regimes buying influence. My @Morning_Joe Chart.

In case anyone isn’t aware, Trump is demanding Zambia to hand over its mineral rights by end of day tomorrow or the U.S. gov’t will cut off the country’s access to the AIDS medications that are literally keeping its citizens alive. Just thought y’all should know.

Kyiv’s Saint Sophia Cathedral was built 100 years before Moscow was founded. Let that sink in.
Moscow’s Bolshoi theatre was built the same year the United States was founded. Let that sink in.
Community note
Only the Company was founded in 1776. The first instance of the current theatre was built between 1821 and 1824. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolshoi_T…
