I may just end up giving up on life if this keeps continuing on the official White House social media.

Trump world is back to the classics of Fauci is bad, voter fraud is rampant (but unprovable), and even Trump's Russian collusion.

All of it is a desperate attempt to distract from Trump's surrender to Iran, the Epstein files, high inflation, a weak economy, and even the embarrassment of algae and peeling of the new coating at the reflecting pool.

The major Republican losses in the midterms will have nothing to do with imaginary voter fraud and everything to do with what a complete and utter failure this administration has been.

#BREAKING: Lawrence re Trump calling Obama a “stupid SOB” in France: “Once again, the standard warning we should be issuing to anyone under say 25 years old, who might not know that presidents have NEVER spoken about previous presidents that way, and especially NEVER criticized previous presidents while in a foreign country as Trump was today, in France.” 😳

ICE spent over $1 billion buying 11 warehouses to cage human beings. Now it’s quietly trying to sell or give away seven of them, more than $700 million gone, with not a single facility open and an inspector general investigation hanging over the whole mess.

This is the waste they swore they were elected to root out.

The fraud, the abuse, the blank check spent without a plan.

They bought industrial buildings at up to $145 million apiece, before renovations, with no environmental review, no community buy-in, and no real strategy for what came next. Even Republican officials told them to stop. Taxpayers are left holding the bill for warehouses that detained no one and accomplished nothing but fear.

It’s total hypocrisy.

An administration that lectured the country about efficiency lit $700 million on fire as part of Stephen Miller’s cruel fantasy of mass detention. Imagine what that money could have done for veterans waiting on housing, for families crushed by costs, for the working people they claim to serve.

I’m glad this plan is dying. It was inhumane from the first day, designed to warehouse people far from the rule of law and basic decency. But being glad it failed does not erase how it failed, recklessly and expensively. We must have full accountability for the officials who pushed it.

There is not a single state in America where a full-time minimum wage job covers a two-bedroom apartment. Not one.

That's not an opinion. That's from the National Low Income Housing Coalition's annual Out of Reach report. And the numbers behind that headline are staggering.

The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. The housing wage needed to afford a modest two-bedroom apartment nationally is $33.63 an hour. That's more than four times the federal minimum wage.

To put it another way, a minimum wage worker would need to work 116 hours a week to afford that apartment. There are only 168 hours in a week total.

That leaves 52 hours for sleeping, eating, and everything else that makes up a human life.

And it gets worse depending on where you live.

In California you need $49.61 an hour. Massachusetts $45.90. Even in West Virginia, the most affordable state on the list, you need $18.49 an hour. The federal minimum wage doesn't clear that bar anywhere.

Here's the part that doesn't get talked about enough.

This isn't just a minimum wage problem. Nearly half of all U.S. renter households are cost burdened, spending more than 30% of their income on housing.

Of the 25 most common jobs in America, 18 of them pay median wages that fall below the two-bedroom housing wage.

Those 18 occupations employ 74 million people. Nearly half the entire U.S. workforce.

This is a middle class problem as much as it's a minimum wage problem.

I grew up watching a parent struggle financially. I know what it feels like when the math just doesn't work no matter how hard you try.

The gap between wages and housing costs in this country has reached a point where working harder isn't enough to close it for tens of millions of people.

That's the part that should make everyone uncomfortable.

Dana White released the actual invite list for Trump's birthday UFC night. Adam Sandler, Tom Brady, The Rock, Jason Statham, Jared Leto, Mario Lopez, Guy Ritchie. Every one of them said no. What was left standing in that arena was Mark Zuckerberg, a handful of Trump relatives, and Nate Bargatze doing his best with a room that didn't want to be there.

Three days later the Obama Foundation released its own list. Stevie Wonder. Bruce Springsteen. Bono. The Edge. Jennifer Hudson. John Legend. Eddie Vedder. Nobody had to twist an arm to get any of them on a plane to Chicago.

The presidency ends eventually. The ability to fill a room because people actually want to be there either survives that or it never existed in the first place.

[Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth’s crusade to purge women and people of color from our Armed Forces has never been subtle.

But today, a New York Times exposé revealed exactly how far he’s gone to dismantle the careers and achievements of our finest servicemen and women.

More than a dozen military insiders — both active duty and those already purged — spoke to the Times anonymously to unmask a horrific ongoing attack.

They detailed a process used by Hegseth and his team to halt senior officer advancements for reasons completely unrelated to merit, job performance, or fighting wars.

Hegseth’s efforts are part of a quest to advance his white-and-male centered worldview, facts, history, and actual service be damned.

In the absence of any such evidence, insiders confirmed that he has used his position to withhold promotions from qualified, decorated veterans. The Times cited several enraging examples:

• Last fall, Hegseth ordered Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll to remove two Black and two female officers from a 29-person promotion list. Driscoll repeatedly refused, citing their decades of exemplary service. In March, Hegseth bypassed him, removed their names, and sent the modified list to the White House.

• In total, Hegseth has removed 32 officers from Air Force and Navy one- and two-star promotion lists. He also pulled the only Black officer and the only female officer from a Marine Corps list, leaving their promotions in limbo.

• Vice Adm. Sara Joyner, a highly decorated three-star fighter pilot, saw her advancement stalled over a 2021 Navy recruiting ad where she said, "I’m not just a girl with a dream. I’m a sailor with one." Hegseth deemed the line a "big problem." Joyner has since retired.

• Rear Adm. Stephen D. Barnett was recommended for a promotion after successfully managing the aftermath of a massive Navy fuel spill in Hawaii. Hegseth blocked his advancement after Barnett participated in a Navy-sponsored Pride event back in 2018.

It is an outrage to watch a media personality whose greatest battles have been with hangovers intentionally harm the careers of people who risked everything to keep America safe. Hegseth’s actions are insult to all who have served and a risk to national security.

But, if only white men were allowed to own property, so the. Only white men were allowed to vote. The discrimination and disenfranchisement starts at birth, not the voting booth. Glenn Beck is a MAGA moron.

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

Was it just me, or did Barack Obama seem very passive-aggressive while lecturing us on how the Founders "fell short?" And I love how he threw in that the Founders only let "white men who owned property" vote. Because it proves that he has NO IDEA what he's talking about.

The Founders didn't care about your gender. They cared if you had a stake in the game. If you owned property, you could vote, no matter your gender. Honestly, we should bring that logic back—if you aren't paying taxes, why should you get a vote on how everyone else's money is spent?

Police DON’T prevent crime. They respond to it. Higher wages, guaranteed health care, food security, high quality child care, housing, good schools, and addiction treatment prevent crime.

[PBS News @NewsHour]

New concerns are emerging about President Trump’s sweeping pardon of Jan. 6 defendants after a report found that nearly 100 of them have been arrested, charged or convicted of additional crimes since the attack in 2021.

It comes as continuing efforts by Trump and his allies to recast the events of that day have reignited debate over accountability and the rule of law.

161 years ago, Republican President Abraham Lincoln and a Republican Congress freed the slaves from the Democrat Party that fought tooth and nail to keep them in chains.

Democrats started the Civil War to preserve slavery. Democrats founded the KKK. Democrats passed Jim Crow laws. Democrats filibustered the Civil Rights Act.

Today if you are celebrating Juneteenth, don’t forget to thank Republicans!
