🚨 EXCLUSIVE @thekenharbaughshow.bsky.social‬ is on the ground in Ukraine with Meidas and @valormedianetwork.bsky.social‬ as Putin unleashes waves of drone attacks after the massive Ukrainian strike against strategic assets deep inside Russia. The difference? Putin is targeting civilians.

Jeffries: Yes Joni, the American people know that at some point in their lives, they are going to pass away. The cause of death should not be Republican cruelty

Lawrence: That is the budgetary cycle we've been in since the 1980s. Republican presidents increased the deficits. Democratic presidents from Bill Clinton forward come into office and reduce the deficits created by the Republican presidents.

There’s probably not an open bar. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

Amazing that when they get in courtrooms, all the big claims they make outside the courthouse to the media suddenly go away.

MURRAY: Will you allocate the $220m for literacy programs that Congress appropriated? McMAHON: We're looking at the unallocated dollars to determine which of those programs we can best spend on MURRAY: Those funds were appropriated. It looks to me like the dept is illegally impounding funding

McMAHON: Here's the other thing -- where are our guidance counselors in high schoolers? DURBIN: Good question. You're cutting the number of counselors in these schools at the same time!

MURPHY: Did you worry about what your decision would do to these kids where you've ripped away their counselors & social workers literally in the middle of the program? McMAHON: I certainly worry about mental health MURPHY: It's a really cruel thing to do M: I can't evaluate every program

Merkley to McMahon: "I strongly encourage you to understand how the changes you're making are hurting ordinary kids across this country ... if you'd take the very effort to read the evaluation of the TRIO programs, you wouldn't be here making that argument today."

REED: We have this crisis in education and literacy, what we're gonna do is pull back and let the states do it McMAHON: No. We'll spend it more responsibly REED: I doubt it very seriously McMAHON: Let's hope we do REED: Hope is not a plan

Rand Paul: "Once this bill votes, and this debt ceiling goes through, the debt is owned by the GOP, and there is no more campaigning and saying 'This is the Democrats.' It will be owned by the Republicans and I think that's a huge mistake."

"Biden was old but governed normally. Trump governs erratically *because* he’s unglued. That’s the true cover-up, one the media is enabling when they seem more concerned with the mental condition of a former president than the escalating madness of the current one."

President Chump

we're gone from "90 deals in 90 days" to sending letters to other countries pleading with them to negotiate

This, combined with a Reuters report that Iran was about to reject Trump’s previous proposal, indicates that TACO Trump has made an appearance at the Iran nuke talks and he is caving.

Every place you see steel and aluminum is something that will go up in price from Trump’s new tariffs. Like soup cans.

Yep, the old wish in one hand and đź’© in the other ploy!

I lost count, how many trade deals did Trump make this week?

Ukraine could’ve launched the attack on civilian population centers, like Russia does to them daily. Instead, they chose a strictly military target - the very bombers being used to kill Ukrainian civilians. A brilliant operation solely designed to defend their own people.

Wow, this one Fox actually covered. But let’s see whether this gets any run on their network instead of just the website.

Trump bragged about spending $1B bombing Houthis while getting Reaper drones shot down and losing two fighter jets to the bottom of the Red Sea while accomplishing nothing and leaking it in Signal, while “you don’t have the cards” Zelensky wipes out 40 bombers deep inside Russia.

Combover chickening out

Trump held a rally to celebrate U.S. Steel being sold off to a foreign country. The attendees of the rally were employees of the American company being sold off.

Trump uses massive amounts of federal resource to visit his golf clubs. Why won’t House Republicans cut these trips instead of Medicaid?

“TACO Trump” Chickens Out of “No Tax on Social Security” Campaign Pledge Trump spins seniors on watered down GOP Bill meidasnews.com/news/taco-tr...

We fought a war so we wouldn’t have a ruler who wanted majesty. It’s the people’s house, not a palace or a tacky casino.

Apparently whoever is doing the vetting for MAGA purity before these nominations are made isn’t ever able to find any of this stuff out. I think this is around a dozen nominees who have lost their positions 2-3 months later. More bumbling incompetence on display to the world.

If Joe Biden posted something like this Hannity would be roused from his sleep to anchor special coverage. But Trump posts apeshit conspiracy theories and the mainstream press yawns. His craziness has been completely normalized.

Vought gets a little salty after Dana Bash plays the clip of him saying that he wants federal bureaucrats to be "in trauma," telling her "you cherrypicked the quote" (she literally just played the clip)

BASH: Is it fair to say that what you are doing now is in part enacting Project 2025? VOUGHT: No, of course not. (This is a blatant lie.)

Murphy: "Moody's just downgraded the US. They didn't do that under Biden, they did it under Trump, bc they look at this bill- the attack on the middle class, the diminution of spending power that comes with it, and the deficits - & say that if implemented, it's is gonna make the economy much weaker"

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

Chris Murphy on the crypto bill: "The problem is the existing version of that bill exempts the president from the ethics requirements. It says it's unethical for me to issue or market a stablecoin, but it's okay for the president to do it. That's not something any Democrat should vote for."

Lutnick: "You're gonna see over the next couple weeks, really first-class deals for the American worker." (The administration promised "90 deals in 90 days" two months ago ... )

Vought is lying. 60-70% of Project 2025's executive action proposals have been initiated or implemented — like gutting education and environmental laws. 30-40% is currently proposed as legislation — gutting healthcare, banking deregulations, voter suppression, and more.

WELKER: In 2021, you cited the CBO. So do you only believe the CBO when a Democrat is president? MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is very easy to explain. The CBO sometimes gets projections correct...but they always underestimate the growth that will be brought about by tax cuts and reductions in regulations

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

🌮 has made it to ABC

THEN STOP VOTING FOR EVERYTHING THEY PUT IN FRONT OF YOU! REPUBLICANS ARE NOT BIPARTISAN!

i did not make this but lmao

Counterpoint: you actually did vote to deport moms. What part of “mass deportations now” did you not understand?

Phang: I fell out of my chair laughing my ass off—this idea that Donald Trump has suffered some kind of emotional distress because of the editing from 60 Minutes, which wasn’t even deceptive. We know you live in a state of emotional torture, Donald Trump—because: you’re the taco toddler.

So he rigged the election and then crashed the evidence as it fell back to earth.
