Trump, 79, Coats Bruised Hand in Makeup After 4-Day Absence The president hid his bruise under makeup before stepping out for his first public appearance in days.

The president hid his bruise under makeup before stepping out for his first public appearance in days.

Law firms, universities, media companies, and now banks. If people don’t understand what’s happening to our country, it’s because they don’t want to.

Mark my words: Trump will defy our Supreme Court too. It’s just a matter of time.

Tulsi Gabbard calls for Obama to be prosecuted over 2016 election claims Trump intelligence chief accuses ex-president and others of ‘treasonous conspiracy’ for alleging Russian interference

1. Obama never organized an insurrection. #Jan6

2. The corrupt SCOTUS ruled that Presidents are immune.

3. Gabbard is a Traitorous Russian asset and a disgrace to our country .

Today is flag day. Here’s a video of a man using an American flag as a drape covering for Trump art and wadding it up in front of Trump who doesn’t seem to mind.

Later, the man places the wadded up flag in a chair behind him.

Why didn’t Trump stop him?

George Orwell wrote in 1941:

2024 election results under scrutiny as lawsuit advances A judge has ruled that a lawsuit questioning the election results in Rockland County, New York, can proceed to discovery.

I feel like more people should be talking about this

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping.

None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

Rep. Melissa Hortman, killed in targeted attack, was a champion for Minnesotan families Hortman worked closely with Gov. Tim Walz to enact policies that prioritized children and expanded protections for abortion and gender-affirming care

When Tim Walz became Kamala Harris's running mate, progressives highlighted policies passed. It could not have been possible without Melissa Hortman.

NEW: When Trump put 2,000 Guard troops under his control on Saturday night and ordered them into Los Angeles, it was billed as an urgent response to quell protests. But officials had been discussing for months how to use the military to bolster immugration enforcement. www.cnn.com/2025/06/12/p...

(5) The Memo includes no geographic limit. None. It applies across the USA.

As @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social explained below: "It’s a blank check for mobilizing National Guard and active duty troops to deploy anywhere"

(Trump alluded to this on tarmac on Sunday: bsky.app/profile/acyn...)

Curtis Yarvin’s Plot Against America The reactionary blogger’s call for a monarch to rule the country once seemed like a joke. Now the right is ready to bend the knee.

My theory is that some of the most dangerous people in America are smart, introverted techies who never understood why anyone majored in the liberal arts in college, graduated college and began reading and misunderstanding texts liberal arts majors were taught to read properly, and became fascists.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen.

Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy.

She’s lived here 48 years.
They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her.

She. Is. A. Citizen.

“No children are dying on my watch,” said Rubio. It's blatantly false. Credible estimates count 190K deaths so far.

In Kenya, I am seeing devastating impact, incl this child's starvation & many deaths directly caused by Rubio’s actions. More in my @msnbc.com clip. www.instagram.com/atul.gawande...

Strange how Truth Social posts don't stop the Russians

NEW -- Donald Trump is selling access to himself tonight to those who spent a total of $192 million to buy his souvenir crypto coin, which has an intrinsic value of exactly zero.

No, you are not allowed to know the names of the attendees.

Yes, it's as corrupt as it sounds.

Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

Noem defends potentially suspending habeas corpus, flubs definition as Trump's right to 'remove people' The Trump administration has floated suspending the legal right amid its crackdown on illegal immigration.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem defended potentially suspending habeas corpus — and flubbed its definition — in a Senate hearing.

Habeas corpus is the right of due process to challenge a person’s detention by the government. Noem defined it as a president's right "to remove people from this country.”

What We Must Do Now To Win in 2026 Since Trump entered the political scene, Democrats have outperformed in midterm elections.

“Democrats have a real opportunity to retake the House and Senate in 2026. As always, that begins with recruiting the best candidates and ensuring they have the resources to run competitive races,” ‪@marcelias.bsky.social‬ writes.

"You shouldn't be within a thousand miles of the directorship of the IRS" -- Elizabeth Warren grilled IRS commissioner nominee Billy Long so hard that he was left stammering and shaking by the end of her questioning

WARREN: Can POTUS legally tell the IRS to change someone's nonprofit status?

BILLY LONG: I'm not able to answer

WARREN: You can't read these words and tell me what those words say?!

LONG: I can read the statute and I did

WARREN: Then tell me what they mean!

Qatar’s GDP is $213 billion.

A $1.2 Trillion investment is a laughable lie.

Democrat Leaders Must Pass the Torch—Or Risk Their Base Burning Out For too long, Democrats have treated retirements like funerals. But that narrative is shifting before our eyes.

OPINION | This wave of retirements in party leadership isn’t a crisis for Democrats. It’s precisely the opportunity that’s needed, writes @amandalitman.bsky.social.

Preach!

Martin's Out. Pirro's In. Incompetence Reigns. Being less flagrantly unfit than the last guy doesn't make you fit.

"Pirro never served as a federal prosecutor, or in any role at all in the DOJ. She was the elected district attorney in Westchester County, New York, and served as a county judge for three years during the ‘90s, although she does not appear to have practiced law at all in the past two decades."

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"
