What happened?

Taco Tuesday has arrived early, folks!

2547

Reporter: What’s Trump’s reaction to the Ukrainian drone attack on Russian airbases? WH Press Secretary Leavitt: The reaction is this war needs to come to an end. The war has been brutal from both sides…

“The two leaders could speak one-on-one "very soon," though probably not today, the official said on condition of anonymity” Sure, and next you’ll hear they’ll be talking one-on-one in two weeks.. www.cnbc.com/2025/06/02/t...

"Support for the law firms that didn’t make deals has been growing... "At least 11 big companies are moving work away from firms that settled with the administration or are giving more business to firms that have been targeted but refused to strike deals..." www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

We're 1/8 of the way through this nightmare. Keep fighting!

Ukrainian officials have confirmed that Russia rejected an unconditional ceasefire in Istanbul. Another round of talks will be held later in June.

Peace talks over in one hour after two hour delay 👇🏼👇🏼 www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Your tariffs wrecked the economy and broke the law. That’s anti-American.

“So if you were wondering whether or not this ‘Trump Always Chickens Out’ and the acronym ‘TACO’ actually has entered the mainstream, well Google gives it away,” Enten said. “It 100% has.” TACO Trump searches up 9,900%! But we can do better. www.huffpost.com/entry/harry-...

Jake Tapper’s ratings set a 10 year ratings low on CNN.

It’s the last month for this SCOTUS term, so I put together a little cheat sheet to help you understand the context & significance as the Court announces decisions. With more than 30 left to go, they’ll start coming fast & furious as we get into the month. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

Why are so many law enforcement officers wearing masks now? Embarassed?

Operation “Spider’s Web” “The sheds were loaded onto trucks that were driven to the perimeter of the air bases. The roof panels of the sheds were lifted off by a remotely-activated mechanism, allowing the drones to fly out and begin their attack, the official said.” www.reuters.com/business/aer...

Per Jaimie Diamond. Trumpism will create a crack in the US bond market, it’s not just bad, it’s catastrophic. The foundation of the global financial system. If it breaks, stocks crash, rates explode, credit freezes, and the dollar’s throne starts to wobble. This isn’t a leak, it’s the fault line.

Can’t make this shit up. “In the hours since the Post’s story came out Friday night, the White House appears to have edited the report again to remove some of the evidence the article referenced. For example, “oaicite” no longer appears anywhere in the report.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Yes, you did vote to deport moms. You just didn’t bother to pay attention to what Trump was saying every single day.

BROWN: Is this administration committed to following the court rulings and the legal process? STEPHEN MILLER: We are committed to following and obeying the laws of the United States (so, no)

BREAKING: Over 130 former federal & state judges have filed an amicus brief urging the court to drop charges against Judge Dugan in Wisconsin The charges seek to criminalize judicial discretion & set a dangerous precedent for executive overreach We MUST defend judicial independence👇

What about the current president’s cognitive decline?

Spare me the fake outrage. None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind. As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks. Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.

VOTER: “But people will die!” (if you kick them of Medicaid) ERNST: “Well, we all are going to die.”

The Wisconsin Judge indicted by DOJ has filed a motion to dismiss her indictment. "The indictment is an ugly innovation." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Ain’t it interesting how everything that is bad for Trump is good for America?

Peter Navarro today has repeatedly demeaningly referred to the West Coast as the "left coast" and the East Coast as "the elitist coast."

Administration seems to have capitulated in case of deportee mistakenly sent to Mexico. The judge was apoplectic. Administration had no room to move, but could have outright disobeyed. It now says sending a plane to bring him back to get to due process. I’m posting a YouTube in a few minutes.

Grandpa TACO has been given a golden off-ramp to end his illegal tariff self-inflicted shitshow, but zero chance he’s taking it.👇🏼 abcnews.go.com/Politics/fed...

“The Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariff Orders exceed any authority granted to the President by IEEPA to regulate importation by means of tariffs,” the New York-based federal court said in its opinion, referring to the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act” www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

👀

Of course he does. 👇🏼 www.wsj.com/world/trump-...

And ... this (Emil Bove nominated to a court of appeals) appears to be happening?

You are personally ordering the deportation of people because of things they’ve said and op-eds they’ve written. You don’t give a fuck about free speech.
