The reason why the Trump admin is so obsessed with leaks from their own officials is because this entire admin is a house cards built on a foundation of lies. Truth is their kryptonite, so they have to intimidate and persecute those who tell it to try and hide it from the people.

Pedro Pascal defended calling out JK Rowling as a "heinous loser" and said that "bullies make me fucking sick" and that he wants to "protect the people I love." variety.com/2025/tv/news...

@jeremygordon.bsky.social: More men read than is commonly assumed, but more men should still be doing it: for the visceral experience, for the acrobaticness of shifting points of view, because it's a counterpoint to the thin prescriptiveness of broculture, because "Libra" slaps:

This is absolutely appalling.

Remember, this new normal -- in which gangs of masked armed gunmen are causing chaos in the streets, pulling weapons and assaulting innocent people, and no one can say if they're crooks or cops -- was all sold to Americans as a way to make us feel safer.

VEASEY: You've credited the 12 steps in your recovery. What's step 4? RFK JR: Making a fearless inventory VEASEY: Of ourselves. Do you remember step 12? RFK JR: We try to help other addicts VEASEY: Does cutting off treatment from people still suffering align with step 4 or step 12?

WATCH: ADL Director Jonathan Greenblatt calls Tucker/Bannon/Candace Owens and other Republicans who spoke out against attacking Iran “THE WOKE RIGHT” 😬 when asked if there’s space to criticize Netanyahu without being called antisemitic

It's outrageous and scandalous that the Republicans canceled the one and only briefing they planned for Members of Congress on the war in Iran. The Constitution makes clear that only Congress has power to declare war.

Apparently, this only allegedly exists but was definitely leaked. By a low-level loser with access to top secrets. Thanks for clearing that up, Karoline.

BANNON: “The Netanyahu government is out of control… we still don’t know why the attack was necessary… Netanyahu told Trump bald-faced lies… I’ve never seen the president so angry…”

Dear Leader duped? How could that be? The Emperor of MAGA bamboozled? Conned? Snookered? Played? Taken for a ride? Hoodwinked? Hustled? Tricked? Snookered? Hornswoggled? Maybe Trump is not the genius geostrategist he thinks he is. Hmmm, please explain further.

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication? RFK JR: I did not fact check RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

God commanded him not to bear false witness. And look at him now!

"SCOTUS allows Trump admin to deport people to random countries with no notice" Honestly still can't believe that I wrote this headline today, let alone that the U.S. Supreme Court's majority did so.

After surgery for the Achilles injury he suffered in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, Tyrese Haliburton had a message for fans on social media.

Sorry for the mixup, he meant "sees fire."

Tariffs aren’t just raising car prices—they’re raising healthcare premiums too. Trump’s trade threats on pharma are already rippling through the system, and patients will pay the price. thehill.com/homenews/nex...

I can think of no good reason why this administration would want to take away resources to find lifesaving cancer and Alzheimer's cures. Turns out, their reason is not good at all: to pay for tax cuts for corporations. www.wsaw.com/video/2025/0...

Wow: ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens

What freedom means in the U.S. may be changing. For July 4, NPR wants to know: What does freedom mean to you?

Washington Post publishes an op-ed by Kristi Noem attacking Harvard. I wonder which of the two pillars--"personal liberties and free markets"--Jeff Bezos would say this supports.🤔 If you want independent pro-democracy news, information and analysis, sign up for Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

🚨 BREAKING: Iranian Retaliation Underway 🚨 Here’s what we know so far: - Iran has launched “Operation Glad Tidings of Victory” targeting U.S. forces. - At least 6 missiles fired at U.S. bases in Qatar. - Explosions heard over Doha, possibly intercepted. - U.S. jets scrambling over Saudi Arabia. 1/

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

“.. My dad has no criminal history. He wasn’t doing anything bad. He was just working. The way they (federal agents) attacked him, I don’t think it’s right.” @ocregister.bsky.social www.ocregister.com/2025/06/23/v...

Wow. Fourth batch of Byrd droppings is out - Dem staff absolutely dominated the HSGAC fight We won on reorg & bonuses for cost cutters ofc, but also on at-will, filing fees, and USPS green vehicles & infrastructure sales Seriously, major praise to the D staff www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

"Do you want America to be at war with Iran?" No: 85% Yes: 5% YouGov / June 22, 2025

THIS!!!

They’re arresting the wrong people. The criminals are in the White House.

"Regime change is good now"

Unironically, people like this should be killed.

For whose who were curious what a book award-winning paper from a white supremacist University of Florida law student looked like, he's posted it online. It's as horrible (as scholarship, as political theory) as you imagined. But there's more. 1/2 archive.org/details/nati...

So, let me check my notes; ah yes, there is more war after Trump was given executive power. Now would be a great time for elected officials to set aside political parties and remember their duty to the United States of America, preferably before boots on the ground for the war criminal BB, thanks.

You might be doomscrolling right now, but keep in mind that Pete Hegseth has a news conference scheduled for 5am pacific that will surely make it better

Nick Kristof: Children are dying because medicines have been abruptly cut off, and risks of Ebola, tuberculosis and other diseases reaching America are increasing — while medicines sit uselessly in warehouses. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/o...

I don’t even want this law enforced. It was Senate Republicans led by Tom Cotton who pushed this. The divestiture didn’t happen because of Trump’s China tariffs, but the fact that he’s just blatantly ignoring the law and nobody cares sets a dangerous precedent for the next thing.

Today I ordered a chicken and an egg from Amazon. I’ll get back to you with a report.

Marco Rubio laughed at a $14M “social cohesion” program in Mali—said, “whatever the hell that means.” Here’s what it means: In Kakuma, Kenya, 300,000 refugees now face hunger, trauma, and collapsed services after USAID was gutted. “Social cohesion” is what keeps communities alive.

Bezos proudly lifting two middle fingers aloft at his paying readers to pander to people who would never read it (let alone subscribe) is having exactly the effect you would expect

I’m thoroughly enjoying this MAGA civil war. What about you?

Trump w/ Juventus players behind him: "People are coming in but they have to come in legally. Like some of these guys behind me. They have to come in legally. If they come in legally, we want them. They have to say they love America, they love our country. If they can't say that, we don't want them"

Medicaid is under attack for millions of Americans. House Republicans' plan was devastating - and now the Senate's goes even further. Millions of children, seniors, and people with disabilities could lose their care.

Is Trump not able to stand up for some reason?

I post my "Bluesky is dying" article on Twitter and sit back smugly as it's shown to 274 of my 80,000 followers, receiving two likes, on retweet, and an anime avatar called lolitas1488 telling me my inferior skullshape means I belong in the camps.

Today’s ruling is a devastating loss for transgender people and our families, and an affront to the Constitution. We'll continue to fight alongside trans youth in Tennessee and across the nation for the health care they deserve.

were there ever even any charges?

Extremely bizarre exchange between Reps. Nadler + Goldman and the ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, where Joyce conceded immigrants held there sometimes spent multiple nights on the floors or on benches on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza. www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/18/i... via @THECITYNY
