🇺🇸🇮🇷 U.S. intel agencies still see no evidence Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons, Senate Intel Vice Chair Mark Warner told MSNBC.

Powell: Increases in tariffs this year are likely to push up prices and weigh on economic activity

For generations, if you came on a visa and applied for asylum, you would generally not be arrested even if your visa expired during the process. That’s over now. They’re arresting everyone, even people who have done legitimately nothing wrong. What a terrible, awful, inhumane, cruel policy.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Shameful work by the U.S. Attorneys' Office for the District of Maryland.

He said it. Yes.

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

FOX: The Committee for a Responsible Budget came out today and said it will add $15 trillion to the debt THUNE: This will reduce the deficit, not increase it

Tucker Carlson says Fox is a propaganda network that manipulates their mostly elderly audience.

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

Some great photos and a cool aerial video of Columbia's No Kinds rally.

Just your average commander-in-chief pop-up shop.

This paragraph stopped me in my tracks “John Hoffman… entered state politics after he struggled to obtain insurance for his daughter, who has spina bifida. He figured others were having the same difficulty” He entered politics to help people get healthcare coverage. He got shot 9 times

In homily in which you can bet every line was vetted by Pope Leo, Chicago’s Cardinal Cupich says at Sox Park: “It is wrong to scapegoat those who are here without documents, for indeed they are here due to a broken immigration system.”

CNBC: You've been accused of being partisan. You're a Republican CBO DIRECTOR PHILLIP SWAGEL: I am a Republican. You can see over my shoulder, that sheet of dollar bills is signed by the treasury secretary when I was in the Bush administration.

“When they finally found his ID confirming his citizenship, the agents let him go — without offering any explanation or apology. Lemus also asked them for their names and badge numbers and they refused.”

The democratic Senate caucus should demand a censure

An "innocent bystander" at the "No Kings" demonstration in downtown Salt Lake City was shot and killed Saturday, police say.

President Donald Trump has praised Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele as a crime fighter, but new reporting based on interviews and documents reveals how senior Salvadoran officials have impeded a U.S. investigation of the MS-13 gang. By @tchristianmiller.bsky.social & Sebastian Rotella

Why doesn’t Trump hire Americans?

Shameful. Unlawfully deployed troops detaining a veteran on his way to the VA.

More Whiskey Pete highlights from disastrous congressional appearances this week. When @aguilar.house.gov asks Hegseth UNDER WHICH CLAUSE of 10 USC 12406 Trump is sending Guard, Whiskey Pete says, "I don't know." He had just said everything was running thru his office. youtu.be/jq5vNlreDrg?...

U.S. Marines on Friday temporarily detained a man who had walked onto the property of a federal building in Los Angeles and did not immediately hear their commands to stop, marking the first time federal troops have detained a civilian since they were deployed to the city.

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

Posted near the White House today

Clearly, Trump cannot live up to this standard.

So video of this 2012 interview is popping up on other sites. Feels super relevant at the moment. Wait for the moment Rubio gets pinned to the wall about his grandfather’s deportation order… (h/t @reuben_reyñoso)

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

This is a huge blow to years of progress to keep power plants from spewing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. As people face the reality of climate change, we need the EPA to work for us, not the fossil fuel industry.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs says we’re not being invaded

Liberate LA from its DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED leadership?!

😡

@michaelfanone.bsky.social is an O’s fan!! Hell yeah! #Baltimore #Orioles Why be less when you can Bmore?!

Welcome to the World Cup in Donald Trump’s America!

This is not good.... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"No Kings" protests planned for Baltimore area. What you need to know.

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

BEYER: Isn't this embarrassing? BESSENT: You seem not to have seen the economic data. GDP growth has been quite substantial BEYER: GDP growth is half what it was last year, sir BESSENT: Job growth is solid BEYER: Job growth is a third what it was last year, sir

This Trump voter says he has “a little buyer’s remorse” after ICE detained a third of the workers at his small roofing company. He thought the Trump administration would only deport criminals.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.
