New data reveals the average American family has lost $3,100 due to widespread price increases under Trump.

BREAKING: Judge Leonie Brinkema has INDEFINITELY BARRED Trump from establishing a $1.776 billion “anti weaponization fund” to reward his political allies and January 6th convicts. This is going to RUIN Trump’s birthday. Good.

Most of the obituaries and tributes to David Hockney will, I imagine, focus primarily on his extraordinary craft and brilliance as an artist. Perhaps they might also mention his brilliance as a communicator (he was such a fine writer and speaker). But there was something else rather unique about him too. He was also strikingly honest about the tricks/techniques artists use and used to paint. His book Secret Knowledge is a rather wonderful detective work into how renaissance and Dutch golden age painters used glass and mirrors to help them master perspective. It's a pretty compelling case (see this video clip from a BBC doc he made alongside the book👇) though I'm sure some art historians will raise their eyebrows. Many will be aghast at the notion that greats like Vermeer might have been using lenses and camera obscuras to help them draw and paint. As if it were in some way "cheating". But Hockney was so self-evidently brilliant he was one of the few people who could document this without anyone gainsaying his own talent. There are very few artists, living or dead, who have this degree of self-confidence. Not just to know their craft, but to be bracingly honest about how it works. One other who comes to mind is Paul Simon: not just an extraordinary musician but is also an extraordinary communicator about the tricks and techniques of how to write and perform music. For many great artists, the temptation is to cloak their crafts in mystery, like a member of the magic circle. Hockney wasn't having any of it. So yes, he was a legend in all the obvious ways. But also in a few other less obvious ways as well. RIP.

RFK Jr has cut Alzheimers research. Alzheimers. One of the most devastating, urgent and increasing health problems we face today. He's not interested. He's a nasty piece of work.

Shocked to hear David Hockney has died. His huge achievement was to make serious painting look effortless. He carried forward one of the most sustained investigations into vision, space and representation by any post-war artist. British art has lost a giant.

Idk if you follow this girl, but she's a great investigative reporter and she has found something important. They are building parallel websites for government things but not on government domains. youtu.be/J1yRurGLbH8?si=ylAV…

An extract from my chapter on Brexit seen around the world - from the excellent collection of essays edited by Sir @AnthonySeldon: The Brexit Effect 2016-2026 @cambUP_History thenewworld.co.uk/peter-fran…

This really worries me A month ago in Wales I suffered a ruptured aneurysm in my abdomen. I lost over 2 units of blood But the Welsh ambulance service refused to send an ambulance. I was still breathing so apparently didn't need one I spent 7 hours lying on the ground in a car park. Every time I moved I threw up from the pain. The owners of the car park called 999 6x One of the people there was a fireman. He couldn't believe that 999 treated each call as a separate incident and couldn't see the details or link to previous calls. He was frustrated because they could see I was seriously ill but you can't see internal bleeding and so there was no way to persuade 999 that it actually was an emergency Eventually my husband arrived by taxi, journey of more than 3 hours from our home He gave me my pain meds (the car park people were worried about liability and I was too ill to get them myself). This meant I was able to crawl into the car and he drove me to A&E He got me into a wheelchair. We waited 75 minutes to see a doctor. I was shivering, heaped with blankets and threw up all over the floor As soon as a doctor looked at me I was taken straight to resus. The next day I was transfered by blue light ambulance to another hospital, had a blood transfusion and spent 5 days on the high dependency unit If my husband hadn't been able to come and look after me I have no idea how I would have survived. As it was I nearly didn't I would not have been able to get myself to hospital nor would I have been able to log into some digital triage system This scheme seems to assume if you're seriously ill you'll arrive by ambulance and if not you're well enough to navigate a digital portal My experience suggests that's a dangerous assumption A week later, back home in England I had another ruptured aneurysm. This time an ambulance came in 2 hours and again I was taken straight to resus It wasn't the same because I had a recent diagnosis of a ruptured aneurysm so we could tell 999 I was almost certainly bleeding internally. But I was too ill to get myself down the stairs and out to the car. We still needed that ambulance and I still wouldn't have been able to fiddle around with an ipad Proper triage REQUIRES an actual doctor to look at the patient. It takes a matter of minutes to differentiate between a life threatening emergency and not a life threatening emergency. That's not minutes to get a diagnosis but to know that the person is stable or not stable and if not that needs immediate attention Seriously ill people can't do it themselves. It doesn't matter how smart or articulate they are normally. Or how tough. Expecting people to manage their own emergency care isn't what a modern health service should do telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06…

This is Trump’s Watergate. Today, the @nytimes released a truly stunning report on the Epstein cover-up by the White House.  Collusion, breaking the law, evading subpoenas—it’s all in there: - Trump quashing the files - The VP, COS, DOJ, FBI, and others colluding in the Situation Room to stop their release and compliance - Officials lying to the public  - Admin in-fighting and exits - Officials who appeared in front of Congress during this time Read the report here: nytimes.com/2026/06/10/magaz…

Military historian Phillips O’Brien: There have been no U.S. peace efforts in Ukraine. There have been efforts to get Putin a very good deal, forcing Ukrainians to give up more territory and people. That is not peace. That is Washington trying to deliver Putin a success. 1/

We look at our neighboring worlds and we see a grim warning. Venus is a runaway greenhouse hellscape, its surface hot enough to melt lead. Mars is a frozen, bone-dry desert. Earth is the anomaly,a perfectly balanced, delicate jewel where the conditions for life are miraculously just right. Yet, we continue to treat our atmosphere as if it were an infinite dumping ground. A fragile canopy. A destabilized climate. A global crisis.

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Fmr DOJ Lawyer Brendan Ballou exposes massive corruption. He confirms Trump is illegally hosting a UFC event at the White House to personally profit from million-dollar sponsorships and exclusive deals! The Trump administration is completely lawless and corrupt!

Via the FBI: Donald Trump knew and funded underage sex parties at the Donald Trump Golf Course.

Run down the checklist of everything Vladimir Putin would want an American president to do. -Go after our allies. -Praise our adversaries. -Unsanction Russian oil -Pull 5,000 troops out of Germany. Trump is doing every single thing on that list. His tariffs are illegal and the war in Iran can’t seem to end. That’s the scorecard. Make of it what you will.

A war crime and also strategic nonsense. Millions of Iranians are short of water — and the entire region depends on desalinization facilities that Iran could destroy. If we strike water facilities and they respond in kind elsewhere millions of lives are at risk. nytimes.com/2026/06/10/world…

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Democrats Just Escalated Their Epstein Allegations To The Highest Levels Of The White House. Rep. Robert Garcia now says Vice President J.D. Vance was directly involved in strategy discussions surrounding the Epstein files. According to Garcia, Vance wasn't just informed. He was helping direct the response. First came questions about the files. Then came reports of Situation Room meetings. Now comes an allegation that the Vice President himself played a central role.

BREAKING: LOL! Trump's big "renovations" to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool fall FLAT ON THEIR FACE as algae immediately blooms along the edges, destroying the entire point of his work. This is beyond humiliating... Just a day after the pool was filled following the completion of the renovations, CNN reported that there is already "quite a bit of algae visible" if one stands on the edge of the water. A worker was spotted attempting to clear the growth away, making it apparent that the administration is aware of the problem. The Interior Department is desperately trying to downplay the failure of one of the President's signature initiative, with a spokesperson insisting that the algae is simply "residual." Of course, even "residual" algae can quickly multiply and spread. That's what algae does. "It’s part of the normal startup process. We are removing the algae, and the nanobubblers will maintain the pool and keep it algae free,” claimed communications director Kate Martin. “President Donald J. Trump is an expert builder who has fixed the Reflecting Pool for good unlike the failed and extremely costly attempt by Obama and Biden,” she pathetically added. Invoking Obama and Biden in the context of Trump's sad obsession with renovating landmarks and building ballrooms is a self-inflicted PR wound from Martin. Obama and Biden didn't waste time or political discourse oxygen fixating on such petty things. They were too busy steering the economy, keeping us out of foreign wars, and strengthening our alliances. Trump talks incessantly about these pointless things because he realizes that he is a failure in all other domains and is hoping to carve out a physical legacy for himself in lieu of a historic one. The wasteful project has cost the American people $14.2 million, a particularly bitter pill to swallow as inflation hits a 3-year high and grocery prices skyrocket thanks to Trump's illegal Iran War. The working class is struggling to survive under his leadership, and he's blowing our money on vanity projects. Now it turns out, he can't even get the pool right. Please ❤️ and share if you think that Trump is bad at everything!

#DemsUnited #DV1 Todd Blanche is refusing to release the remaining millions of Epstein files saying "they have moved on." It's not your choice. The "Epstein Files Transparency Act" was passed by Congress. The American people have not moved on. #ReleaseTheTrumpEpsteinFiles
