🚨🚨 US TRADE DEFICIT SURGES The Commerce Department's Census Bureau on Thursday reported that the international trade in goods increased by about 11 percent in May as exports decreased while imports remained relatively unchanged — a sign that Trump's tariff strategy has been a colossal failure.

Every person deserves healthcare and nobody deserves to go bankrupt to get it. Universal healthcare now!

The historical S.S. BADGER heading out. #STPhotography #TheulePics

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

I love giving portrait sessions. Grand Rapids has an abundance of locations and a huge variety of landscapes for outdoor sessions. Hit me up for your needed photography session. And I do travel...passport is always ready and in hand.

We had a great turnout in Grand Rapids for our No King march.

So we now have our 34x convicted felon dictator calling for the arrest of a sitting governor who is doing things right.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

Ukraine’s Bohdana howitzer—built at home, powered by NATO ammo—is now pounding Russian forces on the front lines.

⚡️Latvia joins UN Security Council for first time. Latvia was elected on June 3 to the UN Security Council for the first time, marking a “historic day" for the Baltic nation which has pledged to uphold the rules-based international order.

⚡️ 'There is nothing secret left' — Ukraine hacks Russia's Tupolev aircraft manufacturer, source claims. HUR's cyber corps accessed over 4.4 gigabytes (GB) of internal data, including official correspondence, personnel files, home addresses, and closed meeting minutes, a source claimed.

Uh. Hmmmn.

Keep it going, Europe!

⚡️Russia shatters drone record, launches 472 UAVs at Ukraine night before Kyiv's strike on Russian airfields. The mass aerial attack breaks Russia's previous record, set just last week on May 26, by over 100 drones.

Each delay is a gift to Putin. Putin plays Trump like a fiddle.

NEW VIDEO: Once again, Trump lost in court in his effort to target law firms he does not like. A federal judge struck down the president's executive order targeting WilmerHale. Paige and I discuss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NW8...

Truth is not allowed in the Trump regime. Facts, data, evidence, proof...whats that?

The cult followers must now wear the face of their golden calf on their chest.

"As Trump hordes white privilege for a smaller and smaller circle, Democrats can create a larger coalition based not on whiteness, but on solidarity for everyone targeted by fascism. Which, Trump is making clear, will soon be just about everyone." — @nberlat.bsky.social

You can just buy pardons now from Trump. Whatever wrong was done or convicted by a jury, it doesn't matter. Trump: Give me money, and I'll give you a pardon. Oh yeah, Trump is and always will be a convicted felon.

🇸🇪 Sweden has announced a new military aid package for Ukraine totaling approximately $500 million.

Showing the party of hypocrisy.

Science is an economic driver in Hamilton, Mont., thanks to Rocky Mountain Laboratories, a federal research lab. Now, layoffs and funding cuts are having an impact in this town far from Washington.

Yes, we found the private photos and videos from Trump’s crypto dinner.

Love it. Choosing your allies well. Why would anyone choose greedy ol Trump?

🔴 Two Russian jets reportedly violated Finnish airspace near the Gulf of Finland, close to the city of Porvoo, just east of Helsinki. Here's what we know 👇

Of course he does.

Yeah, let's bring back pollution and fill up our lungs. Our kids will love it. As the world moves forward, we move backward.

Nice!

Jeffries stands.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

If slashed, millions of lives could be ruined. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

I love Crockett

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Blumenthal to Noem: "Some of the expenditures your department is making- $200m for an ad campaign fawning over Trump's supposed accomplishments...none of these expenditures are in your budget...you're just spending recklessly & it would seem wastefully without authorization. That's against the law."

Imagine having to lie like this every day.

Remember when a convicted felon with 34 felonies was voted to be president? #trumpisaconvictedfelon

129 countries coming together to keep people healthy. Trump though, seems determined to make USA more sick. www.reuters.com/business/hea...
