Once again something that would have had conservatives losing their minds if Obama or Biden had said it.

There’s several reasons we don’t drive tanks down streets. It’s expensive and destroys the streets is one of them.

Leaked files from Russia’s secret service, FSB, describe China as “the enemy” despite what is said publicly. (NYT) Russian spies accuse China of: * Recruiting officials * Stealing military tech * Wanting Russia’s Far East * Studying Wagner for its own PMCs

Appeals court rules that the president can punish a news outlet based on the content of its coverage by denying it access that it has had for generations. If the decision stands, it represents a major blow to press freedom @zjmontague.bsky.social @minhokim.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...

Why the Ds have not had a nationwide effort to get people to run for sheriff I will never understand.

Musk installed Starlink satellite internet at the White House without notifying cybersecurity officials, the WaPo reports. SpaceX engineers accessed the Eisenhower Building roof without Secret Service clearance. Starlink bypasses official monitoring systems, creating major security risks.

Chief of Nashville, criminal division resigns over decision to charge Abrego Garcia. That’s a big story and the details will likely be very damning for the administration.

It's curious that over the last 72 hours, Pam Bondi and Ka$h Patel have directly contradicted one another over the Jeffrey Epstein files, with Bondi insisting that there are photographs of underaged women being abused and Patel insisting that no such photos exist. This is bizarre.

After 5 yrs of public name-calling, being called “smut peddler” & “pedophile” by far-right group advocating book bans, MI librarian Christine Beachler is pushing back. Beachler filed civil lawsuit against the woman, Stefanie Boone, associated w/ Moms for Liberty michiganadvance.com/2025/06/06/m...

Ordinary people on both sides of the aisle want the Epstein Files released in their entirety. Elites on both sides of the aisle are praying they never get released.

“Harvard University’s $120B endowment is ammunition for our enemies, & we can’t let the enemy have that much ammunition or we’re gonna lose” - JD Vance, May 2021, at the Claremont Institute’s Center for the American Way of Life (Vance launched his US Senate campaign less than 2 months later. 1/

Pam Bondi is thug scum. The Attorney General making these comments about a defendant in a federal criminal case is lawless. This administration’s unethical hacks continue to demonstrate that they want to be deposits.

Hits hard as always! Are we too bamboozled to see the truth?

I am so shocked 🙄 Trump pressured Lindsey Graham to water down the Russian sanctions bill. I highly doubt it will ever get passed despite overwhelming support in Congress but Trump yet again shows his fealty to Russia www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

"Sources said the administration is specifically considering a full termination of federal grant funding for the University of California and California State University systems." Pure vandalism. This could never happen in a country with functioning checks and balances.

OC Taxpayers are now on the hook for $5,000,000+ in legal damages because of OC DA Todd Spitzer's repeated arrogant bad behavior and poor judgement And there are other related cases pending Spitzer should resign NOW! voiceofoc.org/2025/06/oc-d...

MAGA thinks these posts are real.

BREAKING: SCOTUS conservatives give DOGE access to Social Security records, overruling lower courts. All three Democratic appointees would reject the Trump administration’s request.

everyone charge your phones bc it looks like he’s ready for round 2 lol

BREAKING: Scientists Warn of New Coronavirus in China, Just One Mutation Away from Triggering New Pandemic.

India's fuel demand in May hit highest in over a year reut.rs/43JiTx6

The obvious question for anyone interviewing Musk is "why were you ok with Trump creating a recession and his alleged sex crimes until he canceled the EV mandate?"

it's interesting how so many of the pundits who, under Biden, were absolutely sure that low inflation was the most politically important economic factor, are totally silent when Trump demands explicitly inflationary policy. No one is like "Trump is making a huge error asking for lower rates!"

On the 81st remembrance of D-Day when defenders of democracy stormed the beaches of Normandy, it is well to not only honor their heroism but also to continue their protection of democracy that is now under attack.

One thread of a creepy campaign.

Russian official said the American billionaire Elon Musk could be offered political asylum in Russia over his fierce dispute with Trump. Dmitry Novikov, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, made the comments to Russian state news outlet TASS.
