Apparently, Russ Vought has been going to great lengths to keep his $30 BILLION illegal impoundment plans under wraps. He would probably hate it if you reposted this. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

👀 Scoop: Trump and Republicans want USPS to sell off its brand new EVs and chargers. That would mean literally **ripping up post office parking lots** to auction off assets with no private-sector value. It’s buried in the Senate’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This is my ‘forget about politics’ post! I’m getting my hands in the dirt today 🌺🌺

We are on Tulsi Gabbard watch. I’m okay with that. The next one will likely also be awful, but she is a Russian asset.

CATO: “New nonpublic data from ICE indicates the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind… 93% had no violent convictions… 65% no criminal record at all…” @MarshaBlackburn www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

Kayleigh McEnany declared that no U.S. troops died in Afghanistan during Trump's last year as president. Using the Defense Causality Analysis System I found four combat deaths in Afghanistan from early 2020. I've included profiles of those fallen soldiers from Military Times.

Love his opinion, hate his opinion, whatever. But if you can’t bring yourself to celebrate Mahmoud Khalil’s release as a victory for free speech, you’re on the wrong side of history.

Donald Trump’s Favorite Lie: ‘Two Weeks’ — 7 Years of Promises, Still Waiting

On #WorldRefugeeDay, we honor the resilience of refugees around the world building a safer and more prosperous future for themselves and their families. By opening our arms and hearts to welcome them, we remind the world what it means to be a nation of immigrants.

It is true that sometimes New York City is frightening. For example today these men were loitering in the hallway of the 12th floor of the federal building.

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.

What in the ever living fuck are we doing?

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

EXCLUSIVE: A judge was lobbying for a seat on the federal bench. After he sided with the president in a defamation case, Donald Trump gave him one.

AMEN

Who is Sergio Gor? Do we have a Russian agent in the White House? 🤔🤔

Did NATO consider making all sessions look like Fox News shows, as the White House is doing to keep toddler Trump's attention during intelligence briefings?

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.

The United States is under attack by the United States

Again: we can’t help but notice how the “we’re broke” crowd seems to think we have plenty of money for war and bombs and stuff 🤷🏼‍♂️ 🇺🇸 💰

Breaking: BOSTON (AP) - Judge halts Trump administration effort to block Harvard University from hosting international students.

Saying there are “too many non-working holidays” on Juneteenth is so on brand for a man who is actively trying to erase Black history. This from the same man who’s wasted over $26 million in taxpayer dollars and spent more than 30 days golfing since January 20, 2025? Please.

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

A precinct in Rockland County, NY registered 80% of votes for Gillibrand and 0 votes for Harris The NY Supreme Court ordered a lawsuit about the discrepancy to continue yesterday. I avoid election falsification rumors because they rarely have merit Not this one rocklandtimes.com/2025/06/19/s...

I just renewed my passport online. Now I won’t have to worry about voting ID and if shit gets crazy I have options.

🧵:

What I keep thinking about is the ghostwriter he waved the Iran war plans in front of, and how he bragged about how he made the military draw them up for him. He's been wanting this war for years, y'all. He had plans drawn up in his first term.

A CONTROVERSIAL “APPEAL to Heaven” flag that has recently become associated with the “Stop the Steal” movement and Christian nationalism was flown above the Small Business Administration (SBA) agency last week in Washington, DC.

How much deeper into physical and mental decline must Trump descend before elected Republicans grasp they have a duty to their country?

WOW! SpaceX’s Starship 36 just exploded in a massive fireball prior to launch.

The takeaway from the Tucker Carlson Ted Cruz interview is that the American public has been so badly cheated for so long by the people pretending to be the political media that when anyone asks a basic follow up that an 8th grade schoolpaper reporter would it feels like cutting edge journalism

Justice Clarence Thomas accusing *anyone* of allowing politics to influence their conclusions is rich.

The whole world is burning but on a personal note..I was a fucking Rock Star at work today! Yay me!

It took Netanyahu 29 years, but he finally found an American president who was itching to go to war with him against Iran.

Powell: "Increases in tariffs this year are likely to push up prices and weigh on economic activity."

With everything else going on, the Senate sent the Big 💩 Bill back to the House, and made some changes. Here’s one:
