Another day of a Trump presidency. More chaos, drama, and insanity. Just like yesterday, just like tomorrow.

Top Trump lawyer nominated to be a federal judge privately suggested defying court orders, whistleblower says. "Bove stated that D.O.J. would need to consider telling the courts 'fuck you' and ignore any such order." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

Trump just cancelled a classified House briefing on the Iran strikes with zero explanation.    The real reason?  He claims he destroyed “all nuclear facilities and capability;” his team knows they can’t back up his bluster and BS. Here's what they're scared we'll ask:  🧵

"$8-$10 a Gallon"— MAGA Operative Warns of Inflation After Trump’s Iran Strikes Trump's Chick-fil-A operative, Michaelah Montgomery, warns of higher prices for fuel, food, and flights meidasnews.com/news/8-10-a-...
