So let me see if i got this right: Trump attacks the nuke sites. Didn’t completely destroy them yet so before he could go back for round two to finish them off he calls for a cease fire? Is this right? Wow. Brilliant

The head of Russia’s Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina, gave a candid take: growth over the past two years came from tapping idle resources - unused labor, spare capacity, bank capital, and the Wealth Fund. Her warning: “Many of these resources are now truly exhausted” Source: t.co/OSsHhbuqHt

NEW: The Ninth Circuit reverses Judge Breyer's order, finding that President Trump "likely ... lawfully exercised his statutory authority" when he federalized the California National Guard. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Putin:"Over 200 our experts are currently helping build two more nuclear reactor units in Iran.We have agreed with the Israeli leadership that their safety will be ensured" Is Russia helping Iran with its nuclear program,sharing certain related technologies?That is quite likely

"A European nuclear deterrent is pricey. But it’s not out of reach. Also, if you think peace is expensive, you should check out the sticker price on war." Unfortunately, this is a conversations the Europeans have to have. Without us.

MSNBC dug up the clip of former Trump Sec Def Mark Esper saying that Trump asked him in 2020 to shoot protesters -- an order Pete Hegseth wouldn't rule out following if Trump asked him to do it today

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

Has anyone been able to reach Keith "all wars end in negotiations" Kellogg or Marco "negotiated settlements where both sides give something up are how you end wars" Rubio for comment?

Masked federal agents just illegally arrested New York City’s elected Comptroller. Outrageous. The Trump Administration went after Brad Lander for asking this simple question: “Do you have a warrant?” By asking this question, Brad was standing up for the basic rights of all Americans.

I shit you not, people

💔These parents waited all day, hoping against hope. Their son's body was found in the rubble. He didn't survive. My heart breaks for these mom and dad. Russia killed their child. Deepest condolences.

Das ist keine zufällige Korrelation, sondern Kausalität. Wirkliche‼️politische Ausgrenzung wirkt.

🍊💩👑 hat eine behördenübergreifende Arbeitsgruppe auf Eis gelegt, die Strategien formulierte, um Russland unter Druck zu setzen, die Friedensgespräche mit der Ukraine zu beschleunigen - Reuters Grund: 🍊💩👑 war nicht daran interessiert, eine konfrontativere Haltung gegenüber Moskau einzunehmen. 🤷‍♂️🤨

🤬 Cluster submunitions from one of the Russian Kh-101 missiles that attacked Kyiv today.

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

🤔

IMPORTANT: Stop calling the troops in LA National Guard Troops. They are not. When Trump activated them against the wishes of the Gov they became FEDERAL troops… like the 82nd airborne with no Law enforcement power! Don’t let them confuse you!

Russian soldier beats his Russian comrade with an iron pipe.

I guess everyone can watch Russian missile terror against Ukrainian civilians and the execution of surrendering AFU soldiers every day. And such views of Ukrainian prisoners returning from captivity are not uncommon.

🧵 I argue that we can understand the functioning of democracy through 3 core ideals, verification, deliberation and accountability. While no democracy fully achieves those ideals, this thread explains how MAGA destroys all three and inevitably results in democratic regression into authoritarianism.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

He said he wanted to be a dictator This is the essence of dictatorship Meeting peaceful protest with military force

this is your occasional reminder that every elite media outlet and editor that spent the last 5 years pretending Republicans were the free speech party is either a moron or a fascist and either way you should treat their every utterance with contempt

🇭🇺‼️ Why did the Hungarians need information about where we deployed the S-300 air defense system? They even had a list of 11 questions, including what the residents of Transcarpathia would say about the presence of Hungarian peacekeepers, — Zelensky.

‼️ Russia: “A new tender to build a new aircraft for India has forced Russia to take desperate measures. For the first time in history, it has offered India full access to the source code of its fifth-generation Su-57E fighter.” 🍿 Desperate times, etc www.moscowtimes.ru/2025/06/09/r...

The police fired rubber bullets at Australian reporter Lauren Tomasi while she was reporting live from Los Angeles This was no crossfire. The cop aimed and fired deliberately. A journalist, live on air, was shot at. Outrageous.

🤦‍♂️ Elon Musk's father called Moscow "the capital of the world"… 🫠 "This is my first time in Russia and I am amazed. I don't understand why I haven't been here before. The way Russia is presented in the West is far from reality. Russia is wonderful," he said.

“Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.” @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/a-permanen...

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

As you see Trump defending his decision to deploy the National Guard into LA and potentially elsewhere, just remember that he did *not* order the DC Nat Guard to protect the Capitol on Jan. 6. I debunked that lie, told by some of his prominent surrogates, here: www.justsecurity.org/93316/anatom...
