President Trump, after holding off Israeli pressure to back an attack on Iran, is now seriously considering helping to bomb nuclear sites there.

Alternet: Mike Lindell was found guilty of defamation by a federal jury. Lindell used social media to baselessly call former Dominion Voting Systems employee Eric Coomer a "traitor' who allegedly rigged the 2020 election in favor of Biden. I💙Karma! #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

@alistairkitchen.bsky.social So sorry about your experience at the US border. How do you suggest we handle social media accounts before going to the US? Would it be better to just delete the Apps like X or should we take burner phones for our stay?

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Rand Paul: "I've never liked the idea of the parade. I grew up in the '70s and '80s, and the only parades I can remember are Soviet parades for the most part or North Korean parades. The parades I remember from our history were different...we never glorified weapons so much...then there is the cost"

The Hortman family helped raise and train dogs to partner with veterans. One of the many reasons we will miss Melissa and Mark.

Why doesn’t Trump hire Americans?

Posted for an audience of one fragile ego.

JUST IN: The full bench of the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals has rejected Donald Trump’s appeal of E. Jean Carroll’s court victory against him.

Tiny crowd at Trump’s military parade. Quite the turnout… SAD!

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed early Saturday morning in "what appears to be a politically motivated assassination," Gov. Tim Walz said at a news conference. Another state lawmaker and his wife were shot and injured. Follow live updates: cnn.it/3FPAs6O

My statement on the tragic and targeted attack on Minnesota elected officials.

Out of an abundance of caution my Department of Public Safety is recommending that people do not attend any political rallies today in Minnesota until the suspect is apprehended.

Happy birthday to everyone except one

There’s only one kind of alien I got a problem with.

Senator Padilla was forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles while attempting to ask a question. Padilla was thrown down and handcuffed. A senator in his own state! (He has since been released.) The Trump regime is out of control.

to engage ➡️ dialoguer avec Ex.: 🇬🇧 For employers, engaging with employees on work hours would be an admission of weakness. 🇫🇷 Pour le patronat, dialoguer avec les salariés sur les heures de travail serait un aveu de faiblesse. #xl8 #translation

The Department of Homeland Security announces Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents will be stationed at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens as part of the FIFA Club World Cup's security efforts, sparking concerns from non-citizen fans.

Spent most of the last 24 hours searching for these puppies up a jungle mountainside. 3 little lives changed forever 🥰

Made a big decision today to help the dogs niallharbison.substack.com/p/rethinking...

3 years ago I rescued little Britney Spears. She was broken and attacked every dog and person she met. It took a long time to get her back to normal but today she left to travel to her forever home in Scotland

5 days on Maximus is like a new dog

Our newest arrival. His name is Big T He's an older boy who was left to fend for himself. We'll do everything we can to save him. Whatever happens he will know nothing but love from here on in ❤️

We have a few dogs we’ve rescued who are old and sick and don’t go far. They do wander off sometimes for a pee and it’s hard to find them in the jungle. Not any more 😂😂😂

24 hours ago Maximus had a life that was limited to his 3 foot long chain. This “guard dog” had endured this for years. Things are looking up today… (1/6) 🧵

Sometimes I see a photo of a dog and know I need to drop everything and rescue him. Maximus came in today. Years on a chain

Terry Moran, if you’re reading this: the door is open.

The same people who shoveled money to a settle bogus case with Trump, have now fired Terry Moran for telling the truth. No one should wonder why viewers are abandoning legacy media in droves. www.cnn.com/2025/06/10/m...

The Trump administration plans to largely eliminate FEMA later this year. When a state gets hit by disaster, "the governor should be able to handle it," Trump said [gift link]

WATCH: “We want to see FEMA eliminated.” Trump & Noem say they want to end FEMA and give storm-torn states LESS money — while Trump takes personal credit for it. (Likely helping Red states more readily) As they take credit for the job FEMA is currently doing. 🤔
