not enough said about how, by turning the national government against states on the basis of ordinary political disagreement, trump is undermining the idea that the union is worthwhile. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

I didn't know (my ignorance) but learned from @leahlitman.bsky.social's book that a white motel owner tried to say that the civil rights act violated the 13th amendment by not allowing him to discriminate against black people

Another attack. Russian pro-war bloggers say that if that's indeed a response for Spider Web operation, it is a pathetic response. They are not satisfied as there are not enough deaths and destruction brought on us in response for destroying only planes www.politico.eu/article/russ...

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

Things are heating up 🫡

My latest. #Russia is catching up to #Ukraine in drone production thanks to greater financial resources, production lines far from the front lines and especially help from #China, www.politico.eu/article/chin...

🚨 BREAKING: Ukrainian security services released new video of the audacious "Spider Web" strikes on the Kremlin's nuclear-capable bombers deep inside Russia. Full story: ow.ly/6eR550W4fms

TONIGHT: @mcfaulmike.bsky.social and @markhertling.bsky.social talk to @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com on The #LastWord at 10pm ET.

My latest. Video is astonishing, and also how they used swarm and AI! www.politico.eu/article/ukra...

Very good job by Shaw with Hawley's usual sarcastic approach. (Familiar if you watch Judiciary hearings - reframe witness's position as crazy, goad them into disagreeing, then say hey check out this smart guy who can't defend the position.)

What version of "I didn't read the bill" will these people have to tell their children and their grandchildren when they ask why they went along with this president?

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

Well, not quite all of them. But it will be a start.

Has Trump just breached the only trade deal he struck? At the time, British PM Starmer described the deal as one that "will remove tariffs on British steel and aluminium, reducing them to zero." Yet Trump just announced that they'll get a 25% tariff. www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

great, provocative column from larry tye on what it took to defeat the american nightmare of joe mccarthy and the ism that bears his name. along these lines, may i also point you to the 2nd season of my podcast, “ultra”: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r... www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

🚨Heard about this earlier today; ICE is expanding to arrests at ATD (alternatives to detention) case management check-ins. Dozens of people got texts to show up weeks in advance of their normal check-in, and ended up detained. Three women let go were told to come back tomorrow with their kids.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

Trying to make sure I understand: Joe Biden was a) assassinated b) incompetent & c) masterminding a highly strategic conspiracy against Trump, all at the same time? (His post following the SCOTUS decision in the presidential immunity case)

Donald Trump Thought

The question not asked in the Oval Office: How does it feel to kill children?

An interesting detail from Istanbul: “At least there were fewer pseudo-historical talks and fantasies from the Russians after Spiderweb,” an official told me. Zelenskyy confirmed Russians were more humble but still rude: "Maybe we need to take more such measures to make them behave like people."

My latest. Russians once again demand Ukraine's surrender in a new ultimatum. But sides once again agreed to swap POWs www.politico.eu/article/russ...

"If Crater Lake were fully staffed this summer, it would have eight park rangers, said a current park employee who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation. Instead, it has three...." www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

COOL!

"The underlying point isn’t to chastise the firms for making the wrong decision; it’s to remind those firms that it’s not too late to reverse course and join the ranks of the firms resisting Trump’s gambit..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Remember when Donald Trump got caught with all sorts of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after saying he didn't have anything, and then he got indicted but the judge slow walked the case to death? Yup. He did that.

You need this in your timeline! Stop to listen. Amazing.
