State security forces dealing with the ungrateful and disobedient population of Ghorman.

Bondi DOJ has a problem. On left: DOJ Indictment and Detention Memo allege Abrego Garcia lied to officer by not revealing he was coming from Texas On right: DHS Referral Report: "Subject stated he was driving 'three days ago' (11/27/2022) from Houston, TX to Temple Hills, MD (via St Louis, MO)"

You’ll all be shocked to learn that this guy is a multimillionaire investment banker who advised the Ron Paul campaign

This headline is trash, though. Trump administration races to blame DOGE because Trump administration, of which DOGE is a key part, fired too many people. Subhead: The Washington Post went alone with their charade, allowing the Trump administration to act like DOGE is not them.

“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.”

To the universe: I did not originate this Trump/Stalin disappearance meme. It was apparently someone named Pepel Klaasa on X. Bravo her!

This sounds like a scandal in the making.

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

Pretty egregious error from this book: The authors say Swedish deaths fell by 2.3% during the pandemic, proving that the country's lax lockdown strategy worked. But they misread their source: Mortality is only down if you remove the COVID deaths. research.abo.fi/ws/portalfil...

insane assertion. just pop open the Covid death rate numbers and it's clear beyond question Sweden did WAY WAY worse than its Nordic neighbors

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

🇺🇸U.S. JUDGE BLOCKS TRUMP'S BAN ON HARVARD INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ENTERING THE UNITED STATES.

The "Epstein Files will destroy our enemies" stuff is maybe my favorite example of how impenetrable the mindset is. Far more photos of Trump w Epstein than any of his political enemies. And yet! Unshakable belief that The Files will take down Hillary or whoever.

"The scientific research base of the United States of America *is* the research university. We made that decision 80 years ago. We don't have a Plan B." — Condoleezza Rice

The online feud is amusing, yes, but it’s no accident. If you haven’t already heard of Dark MAGA you need to learn. The plan has always been to replace the dunce. The evil psychopaths taking over our country are playing us. Please do not be distracted. www.commondreams.org/opinion/dark...

Divorce is always toughest on the kids.

I 💯 % agree with this. They want Trump out and Vance in. Vance is fully vested in P2025 and under Vought and Thiel sway. There would be no stopping them then.

In a close race that came down to the wire, @sternbergh.bsky.social wins the internet today.

In the long run, this is actually going to be the important news of the day--co2 in the atmosphere passes another grim milestone

The national security and cybersecurity impacts of this Trump-Musk fallout are out of this world. Musk and the DOGE boys have their tentacles all up in just about every system that supports US government function…

Does the name Ernst Roehm ring a bell?

I always said that when it was my time, I wanted to die of schadenfreude. It was a good run, friends. See you on the other side.

do it. do it now.

We are, alas, a fallen nation. Humiliating on every level. Our own Year of the Five Emperors

Evolution in reverse courtesy of the impact his majesty the Unitary Executive has had on our culture: Pre-2016: "Sources close to Mr. Musk suggest that he is frustrated with some parts of the Administration's agenda." Today:

Wait I thought the marijuana the DOGE kids left in the US International Institute of Peace was in Washington DC? archaeology.org/news/2025/06...

Trump threatens to take away Elon’s government contracts

O Lord, they fight! I will go call the watch.
