Rubio confirms the suspicion that Iran was not constructing a nuclear weapon, the US did not attack based on new intel, and Israel's claim that an Iranian bomb was imminent is BS (though if you parse non-Bibi statements, they say high enrichment, not bomb construction). So I guess there's that.

Host: Are you saying the US did not see intelligence that the Supreme Leader had ordered weaponization? Rubio: That’s irrelevant Host: No, that's a key point Rubio: No it’s not… Forget about intelligence

Over on Xwitter, they’re all praising Hegseth for not leaking…

Trump just declared war on Iran unilaterally in a direct violation of the Constitution. The Republicans in Congress will just roll over and Fox News will cover his ass.

Okay, folks, here you go. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Trump is struggling to read his teleprompter

Masked ICE agents spotted swapping out license plates this morning in Bell Gardens, CA

📢 A US Army combat veteran has a few words to express his thoughts on the oath he took. 🔥

Gonna celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jaws today by watching it with a pint of wine

Harry Enten: "I think we can say Donald Trump has lost the political battle when it comes to what has happened in Los Angeles. Trump's net approval rating on LA - way, way underwater at -15 points... this is happening on what should be on Donald Trump's best issue ... he's losing on his core issue"

Day 70. 🇺🇸

More concerns about the quality of US economic data: “.. almost a third of the prices going into the CPI at the moment are guesses based on other data collections in the CPI.” - Apollo/Slok

It's always two weeks. I keep thinking of the Money Pit.

Financial Bluesky would be proud of the “TACO median”. @kullervo.bsky.social @brendannyhan.bsky.social

Trump posts that there are "too many" holidays on Juneteenth

It’s a failure of journalism to do shit like this. Donald Trump has said that something will happen “within two weeks” at least 5,000 times in the past decade with easily over 4,900 of those “deadlines” passing with no action.

The way this will get under that paper thin skin of his…

I think going to war with Iran is a terrible idea, but no one believes this “two weeks” bit. He’s used it a million times before to pretend he might be doing something he’s not. It just makes America look weak and silly.

Are we now in the two week TACO vortex with Iran?

The rubes never learn.

This is brutal. India says Trump is lying about a trade deal and says he also lied about brokering a peace deal between India and Pakistan. We are a joke around the world. bsky.app/profile/meid...

Jon Stewart asks: How many gun deaths is too many for the GOP?

SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? HEGSETH: What is that based on? SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to bc he didn't accept the order. He has more guts & balls than you

That’s an oldie but a goodie. 🤡

Not good enough. He needs to resign or be expelled.

It’s giving serious Dead Zone youtu.be/Tj9M34DzAKo

He’s TACOing on his TACO.

I hope the good people of Utah fire him in 2028 - though he should resign now.

The way I see it, there’s MAGA and the UNITED States. MAGA and Trump just try to divide us.

Why are we not arresting the job suppliers? They are the “drug dealers” in the undocumented immigrant issue.

I'm reading a lot of the write-ups about Trump's birthday parade, and the deference they give him on the small crowd size is something. A couple of thoughts: 1) They write that he addressed the "huge" parade, meaning the thousands of soldiers he summoned to march for him, not attendees.

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

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.
