"The Department of Revenge" pulls back the curtain on President Trump’s Justice Department and the way he has used it as a tool to settle political scores. to.pbs.org/3QC7e0r

Moratoriums, please. Extended ones, in fact.

Old but good 💪🇺🇦

Netanyahu has decided to accept the Iranian deal. Security officials are despondent and see it as a disaster. Ynet brings some high level quotes from them: 1) A senior Israeli official said "Nobody is happy with this. We understand it is not good for us, and that it harms Israeli interests. What is troubling is that Israel cannot influence it. Its voice is not being heard." 2) The anger at Trump is palpable.: "Trump screwed us, we took the hit. We're no longer in the loop and can't really influence anything." 3) Israelis fear Iran will be economically revived: "They've blown money on the Iranians, who are getting everything they want. They'll build a missile corps, and we'll have to pour money into interceptors." Israel sees oil revenue flowing back into the exact capabilities the war was meant to degrade. 4) They don't believe a deal will adequately deal with the nuclear issue: "The real test of the deal is removing the uranium and destroying it. If that doesn't happen, the sense of a bad deal will turn into something more concrete." 5) They fear this will embolden Iran: "Iran has smelled that it can achieve things by force, and it will use that against its neighbors and against us." 6) The deepest worry is not military. It is perception. After months of direct fire, Iran is seen across the region as the side that took the pressure and did not fold: "the regional working assumption will be that it was signed under Iranian pressure and American capitulation, rather than the reverse." Israel is concerned that Iran will be stronger, the US will be weaker and that the future for it will be bleak in the region. This war has been a disaster for Israel.

Wait, is this for real? Trump spent $60 million of our taxpayer funds to host a UFC fight and then is selling UFC coin to line his family’s pockets. The Trump corruption swamp is a mile deep. cnn.com/2026/06/09/politics/…

original iran nuclear deal: “under no circumstances will iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapon.”

Administration has settled on "no money will exchange hands" as way to paper over unfreezing assets and Iranian oil sales, and "at an appropriate time" as way to paper over lack of agreement to remove HEU. This deal is going to test Trump's salesmanship even with his own base.

“President Trump himself will occupy an arena-level seat, positioned like a Roman emperor in his pulvinar—the imperial box—and surrounded by senators and dignitaries, if not the traditional six Vestal Virgins” theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

Archbishop of Miami Thomas Wenski "Basically the administration has, in deciding to separate children from their parents, [tried] to weaponize children, using them as a leverage against the parents applying for their asylum applications."

It only takes about 5 minutes of watching Fox News to understand why Trump supporters live in a completely fucking different reality than everyone else.

🚨 DISGUSTING: Top journalist Carol Leonnig exposes a massive DOJ scandal. She confirms the Trump administration literally ordered FBI agents to raid a pro-democracy voter registration group in Ohio. The White House is actively using federal forces to rig the midterms!

When your devotion to one man destroys your loyalty to your country and its laws. For many in MAGA, Trump is the law. And that is fundamentally un-American.

Republicans are in charge because we promised: to Make America Healthy Again. to start No New Wars, to put people above corporations, to put America above foreign countries, to release the Epstein files, to not spy on citizens, to eliminate fraud, what the hell happened?!

A lot of people doubted the president's promise to revitalize programming at the Kennedy Center by broadening its appeal, but credit where it's due—today's livestream is an absolutely viral sensation: theatlantic.com/culture/2026…

🚨 WTF?! Senior Investigative Reporter Carol Leonnig exposes massive FBI corruption. She confirms agents deliberately targeted and intimidated innocent volunteers without warrants across Ohio. The Trump administration is using mafia tactics to crush voter registration!

The fact that acting Attorney General Todd Blanche allows the White House to intrude so incompetently into the brief-writing process is just one tiny symptom of the broader problem with his ... oops, I almost wrote "leadership" ... sycophancy.

I'm blown away by this EXCELLENT piece of @CNN reporting. This journalist @katie_polglase demonstrates how to conduct interviews with Epstein associates. She had this guy sweating, because she did her homework. Bravo. (Worth getting through the ad to watch.)...cnn.com/2026/06/11/world/vid…

Today I tackle the question of why Pete Hegseth is so cringe-inducingly corny. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children. History's first trillionaire.
