One of the funnier running subplots of the Trump era is that he hasn't won a Nobel Peace Prize, and it really eats at him.

I’m old enough to remember when a British ambassador to the United States sent cables to Whitehall describing Trump as, among other things, incompetent, abnormal, dysfunctional, clumsy, and inept. www.bbc.com/news/uk-4889...

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can. ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was *not* a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who *was* a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.

NEW: Pope Leo’s newly appointed Bishop, Michael Pham, outside the court in San Diego: “We need to speak up for the voiceless in our society - and we will.” The video then shows masked ICE agents leaving without snatching anyone today. More of this resistance nationwide! 👏 (🎥 PSL San Diego)

🥊 Today in history, June 20, 1967. Muhammad Ali was convicted for refusing the draft. “I’m against the war in Vietnam. My conscience won’t allow me to go… I’d just rather go to jail.” Ali stood for justice, no matter the cost.

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

After 9th Circuit win, Trump says he’ll deploy military “should State and Local Police be unable, for whatever reason, to get the job done.” And masked federal agents seize people off streets, and Congress is set to appropriate tens of billions for detention and deportation. The road to despotism.

Are you sure about that, Mr. President? Farmers are witnessing firsthand that between 25% and 45% of workers have stopped showing up since your raids began this month. Don’t think your logic is adding up.

We need to start bringing 8th Amendment cases on behalf of these detainees. Not only is overcrowding a problem, detainee abuse is happening too. Our clients are afraid to tell us about it - and say so - because their calls are being monitored. I have a client at FDC Honolulu in this situation.

Will investors ever get tired of Musk's vaporware promises? The much-hyped "robotaxi" rollout will be 10 cars in limited areas with someone remotely monitoring. And they still won't be safe for the people in or around them. What a joke. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall www.pcmag.com/news/tesla-r...
