Crazy how the Republican Party is just pro slavery now.

Trump will never be able to do anything better than President Obama did it. Let’s remind him of that today and not let him take credit for an Iran “deal” that doesn’t leave us any better off and was only necessitated by Trump‘s need to distract us from the Epstein files with military action. Let’s not let him get away with that either.

On June 7, 2026, in Leesburg, Lee County, Georgia, Jeffrey Tyler Kinzer allegedly drove by a peaceful Black family reunion on Autumn Leaf Drive, shouting racial slurs including the N-word at the group of adults and roughly 20 children celebrating a grandmother’s birthday. Minutes later, Kinzer returned on foot wearing body armor and armed with an AR-15-style rifle. He opened fire on the family. No one in the family was hit, but vehicles were damaged. A Marine veteran relative returned fire, wounding Kinzer. Kinzer was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. He was released the very next day on a $5,000 bond. The family is calling for hate crime enhancements and more serious charges. Ring camera footage and witness accounts captured the incident. This is unacceptable. No family should have to experience terror like this while celebrating together.

Couple things: 1. If the terms of the Iran deal being floated are accurate, it’s a complete US surrender and a total embarrassment. 2. Trump casually threatening to nuke Iran if the deal doesn’t go through is fucking insane.

At the start, Europe and the United States had the capabilities to fight but not the will. Ukraine had the will but not the capabilities. Now Ukraine has both and Russia is screwed.

I've served under seven presidents — from Reagan to President Biden — so I know that service is about more than self, it's about patriotism. We need a true patriot representing Colorado's 4th district. Help me defeat Lauren Boebert this fall. Chip in $25 today.

From Tonight’s Column: I have never forgotten Roberts’ comments. Was it a threat if we exercised our right to vote? Our First Amendment rights to protest? I remembered his comments when Renee Good and Alex Pretti were shot execution style on the streets of Minneapolis, because comments like that aren’t something you just move on from. It’s one thing to argue for conservative policy. It’s an entirely different thing to suggest the use of violence against people with different political views.

Please don’t send this to @realdonaldtrump or his family members. It would be wrong to remind everyone he was a 5-time draft dodger and a coward.

Imagine it’s Sunday morning. You were allowed to sleep in as long as you want, with no chores or responsibilities. It’s raining outside, and your mum makes a stack of pancakes and serves you breakfast in bed. But you’re almost three, so you’re blind with rage.

Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.

Private equity companies are buying up hospitals, driving them into the ground, and selling them for parts. I have a bill to hold them accountable.

An important message to all the young men in NYC—ahead of the huge World Cup and Knicks games tonight: stay respectful and peaceful. Represent our city well. Don’t give Trump what he wants. And GO KNICKS.🗽🏀🇺🇸⚽️

"In my life, I have watched John Kennedy talk on television about missiles in Cuba. I saw Lyndon Johnson look Richard Russell squarely in the eye and and say, "And we shall overcome." I saw Richard Nixon resign and Gerald Ford tell the Congress that our long national nightmare was over. I saw Jimmy Carter talk about malaise and Ronald Reagan talk about a shining city on a hill. I saw George H.W. Bush deliver the eulogy for the Soviet bloc, and Bill Clinton comfort the survivors of Timothy McVeigh's madness in Oklahoma City. I saw George W. Bush struggle to make sense of it all on September 11, 2001, and I saw Barack Obama sing 'Amazing Grace' in the wounded sanctuary of Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina. "These were the presidents of my lifetime. These were not perfect men. They were not perfect presidents, god knows. Not one of them was that. But they approached the job, and they took to the podium, with all the gravitas they could muster as appropriate to the job. They tried, at least, to reach for something in the presidency that was beyond their grasp as ordinary human beings. They were not all ennobled by the attempt, but they tried nonetheless. "And comes now this hopeless, vicious buffoon, and the audience of equally hopeless and vicious buffoons who laughed and cheered when he made sport of a woman whose lasting memory of the trauma she suffered is the laughter of the perpetrators. Now he comes, a man swathed in scandal, with no interest beyond what he can put in his pocket and what he can put over on a universe of suckers, and he does something like this while occupying an office that we gave him, and while endowed with a public trust that he dishonors every day he wakes up in the White House. "The scion of a multigenerational criminal enterprise, the parameters of which we are only now beginning to comprehend. A vessel for all the worst elements of the American condition. And a cheap, soulless bully besides. We never have had such a cheap counterfeit of a president* as currently occupies the office. We never have had a president* so completely deserving of scorn and yet so small in the office that it almost seems a waste of time and energy to summon up the requisite contempt. "Watch how a republic dies in the empty eyes of an empty man who feels nothing but his own imaginary greatness, and who cannot find in himself the decency simply to shut up even when it is in his best interest to do so. Presidents don't have to be heroes to be good presidents. They just have to realize that their humanity is our common humanity, and that their political commonwealth is our political commonwealth, too. Watch him behind the seal of the President of the United States. Isn't he a funny man? Isn't what happened to that lady hilarious? Watch the assembled morons cheer. This is the only story now." - Charles Pierce

“On the eve of President Donald Trump’s highly orchestrated celebrations of his 80th birthday, protesters at San Francisco's Ocean Beach formed a human banner on Saturday, calling for the release of redacted files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that reference Trump.”San Francisco Chronicle

The Kennedy Center is back and the shitstain’s name has been removed! 🎉🎉🎉

DCA is shutdown because the lights are threatening air traffic. The reflecting pool is filling with algae. A third of the White House is a hole in the ground. And this is going on at the WH grounds. Everything Trump touches ends up like this.

Among Ukraine's overnight attacks on Russia's military and energy assets was the vast strategic energy storage complex in Rybinsk, in Russia's Yaroslavl Region. Part of Russia's strategic fuel reserve system, Operated by Rosrezerv, the facility stores and redistributes gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, helping supply military and industrial consumers across western Russia. Located roughly 270 km north of Moscow on key rail and river transport routes, it serves as a major logistics hub. While its exact capacity is classified, its role in storing and moving fuel makes it a significant wartime asset.
