Military historian Phillips O’Brien: There have been no U.S. peace efforts in Ukraine.

There have been efforts to get Putin a very good deal, forcing Ukrainians to give up more territory and people. That is not peace. That is Washington trying to deliver Putin a success. 1/

@FoodProfessor The average Canadian family is 2.9 people. Fortunately you’re not on his staff.

🚨 BREAKING: JD Vance's Chief of Staff is now resigning.

Some commentators believe staff are jumping ship due to Vance’s 2028 odds nosediving.

Just gutter racism. There is no other way to describe it.

Iran attacked commercial vessels attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz tonight.

Trump’s ceasefire lasted 2 hours.

Canada delivered another batch of armored vehicles to Ukraine. The Roshel Senator is built to survive mine blasts and keep troops alive — and over 2,500 of them are already on Ukrainian roads.

Incredible. Scotland puts a wind turbine near Trump’s golf course in Aberdeen 20 years ago. He sues and loses. Then his resulting hatred of wind turbines now ends up with the US Secretaries of Defense & Interior fabricating absurd lies to justify killing wind energy in the US.

We are blessed to have Canada as an ally & trading partner. I’ve spoken with local businesses, and talking down to our neighbor or making “51st state” comments has not helped Nebraska or gained America one advantage. We should treat this relationship with the seriousness & respect it deserves.

BREAKING: The average price of US ground beef rises +13% YoY in May to a record $7.06 per pound, with prices now up +58% since 2020.

Steak prices surged +16% YoY to $12.80 per pound, the 2nd-highest on record.

This comes as the US cattle herd has shrunk to its lowest in 75 years, with drought conditions, elevated production costs, and a New World screwworm outbreak in Texas limiting supply recovery.

Meanwhile, nearly 80% of US cattle are currently located in areas facing dryness or drought, threatening to keep beef prices elevated well into 2027.

American consumers are paying record prices for beef.

Mehdi Hasan: “Some people say Bari Weiss will be fired because the ratings are going down and the chaos. That misunderstands what’s going on here. She’s not there to make CBS win in the ratings. She’s there to make CBS a safe place for Trump and MAGA”

@FoodProfessor I expect Carney knows that. You’d prefer nothing it seems.

BREAKING: This May Be The Most Revealing Detail In The Entire Epstein Story.

According to new reporting from The NYT, Trump personally called Charlie Kirk and scolded him after a Turning Point event turned into an Epstein-focused backlash against the administration.

Think about that.

At the time, Charlie Kirk wasn't leading the charge against Democrats.

He wasn't attacking the media.

He was demanding answers from Trump's own administration.

And Trump was reportedly angry enough to call him directly.

First came the Epstein memo.

Then came the MAGA revolt.

Then came Trump trying to shut it down.

The White House wasn't fighting Democrats on Epstein.

It was fighting its own base.

The inflation story in one chart: gas +40% y/y, energy +24%.

An entirely self-inflicted wound caused by Trump’s War on Iran.

The President just said we're on the cusp of a deal with Iran.

Today's post explores two fun facts:
1. It's the fiftieth time he's said this. (I counted!)
2. Even so, stocks rose on the news.
