I think you are lying

The guy with the dime slot eyes is out of his f*cking mind!

NEWS: Wyden, Ocasio-Cortez Demand Answers from Palantir About Plans to Build IRS “Mega-Database” of American Citizens

NEW: It looks like Palantir is helping Trump build a mega-database of Americans' private information so he can target and spy on his enemies, or anyone. @aoc.bsky.social and I are demanding answers directly from Palantir.

Harry Enten on Trump's bill: "The amount of disapproval for this bill -- holy cow, my goodness gracious! We're talking about 29 points underwater ... we're talking about a negative 41 net favorability rating among independents. You rarely ever see proposed pieces of legislation as unpopular"

Seems @senmikelee.bsky.social didn’t want to talk about his ugly tweets blaming Dems for the shooting of Dems in Minnesota

President Trump is calling on ICE to conduct even more raids in cities which happened to have some of the largest “No Kings Day” protests. https://trib.al/pss5Yhv

P.S. State and federal charges are not mutually exclusive under the dual sovereignty doctrine (and it looks like MN is seeking charges). Personally I think state has greater interest here and should go first

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

Newsom trolling so hard even the trolls love it.

when 4-5M people march peacefully against the current regime it's the story of the year. NYT cannot bring itself to focus on that reality.

💯

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.”

Minnesota Star Tribune debunks each of the lies and conspiracies posted on social media from Mike Lee, Elon Musk, and all the other usual suspects who do this EVERY time. www.startribune.com/fact-check-d...

Utah voters: Are these really your values? Mike Lee is the best you can do?

BREAKING: The American Bar Association has sued the Trump administration on behalf of its members to put an end to Donald Trump's law firm intimidation project, calling Trump's efforts "unprecedented and uniquely dangerous to the rule of law." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"Trump has made clear over and over that he approves of violence done in his name, and that he believes that his enemies deserve to be physically harmed. That creates a permission structure in which MAGA supporters may feel that they can aid the cause through threats and violence."

Russia was kicked out of the G8 in March 2014 exactly BECAUSE it launched its war in Ukraine by invading and forcibly annexing Crimea.

Spray paint a Tesla: domestic terrorism Targeted political assassination spree: not terrorism

"Let me exercise my role as G7 chair" -- Carney steps in to stop Trump from taking more questions

Stephen Miller is deliberately choosing to focus more resources on non-criminals—and thus away from dangerous criminals. Law enforcement insiders have leaked word of their anger over exactly this. https://trib.al/XxEuHPU

This is an egregiously shameful tweet from a US senator

ABC News can’t fire California Gov. Gavin Newsom for telling the truth about Stephen Miller.

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]

Congrats ABC. You must be so proud.

ABC News has cut ties with its senior national correspondent Terry Moran after he posted that Stephen Miller is a “world-class hater” who “eats his hate.” Kudos to Moran for having the courage to speak the truth — and screw ABC News for not standing behind him and backing his right to free speech.

BREAKING: Terry Moran is out at ABC News. "We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post – which was a clear violation of ABC News policies – we have made the decision to not renew," an ABC spokesperson says.

"ABC claims it is motivated by the values of objectivity and impartiality. But what about the value of independence — or, for that matter, the value of truth?"

BREAKING: Miller reportedly engineered the raids that sparked the protests that have engulfed the city in recent days—likely because he wanted a pretext to send in federal troops. https://trib.al/oM1280f

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

EXCLUSIVE: Trump plans to sign a trio of resolutions Thursday to revoke California’s nation-leading vehicle emissions standards. “If it’s a day ending in Y, it’s another day of Trump’s war on California. We’re fighting back,” said a spokesperson for Newsom. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Candidly, as a civ-mil watcher, this scene at Bragg is freaking me out more than anything else that's happened so far. Just an absolute collapse of professional military norms.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

EXCLUSIVE: ActBlue is firing back at a House GOP investigation into its workings. The Dem online fundraising platform says the probe appears to be an unconstitutional abuse of power to help the White House.

Now everyone will go look up the book and it will make NY Times. #sighs #booksky #writingcommunity

Phang: We are just 19 weeks—approximately—into the second term of the Trump administration. We have another three and something years to go, people. We cannot allow the DOJ to be led by a lackey of Donald Trump. That is the type of shit you see in a dictatorship.

Yo no tengo pelos en la lengua. No hair on my tongue. I speak bluntly and in truth. It’s Katie unleashed.

What country is this?

Tom Homan: We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor Bass should be thanking us. She says they are going to mobilize—guess what? We are already mobilizing. We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight

Newsom and Trump weigh in
