Oh look, @charliekirk11's Twitter account is still active. It'd be a shame if #smokefleet went through the list of people he followed and pointed out all the incredibly racist accounts.

Missouri judge rules state abortion laws violate voter approved Constitutional amendment. That means planned parenthood can start prescribing abortion pills for the first time since 2018. That’s a win for women👏👏👏

President Obama was the kind of President you want to see in the White House: smart, steady, honorable, and he led with kindness. He’s a good husband, dad, and role model for our country.

One thing that always stood out to me was his magical combination of being both ultra-competitive and really easygoing. It allowed him to surf the waves of politics, and it taught me a lot about leadership. (He also loved playing with my oldest son when he was just a baby!)

It was a tremendous honor to have his trust to carry the nuclear codes and to be by his side to handle emergencies for the country.

It’s incredible to see his legacy celebrated - I can’t wait to visit the new library!

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Georgia's leading Conservative radio host, Shelly Wynter, just announced he is endorsing Senator Jon Ossoff for reelection. This is huge.

Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years.

Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸

I have never heard of DOJ officials being accused of a fraud upon the court.

But then again, I’ve never seen a DOJ as badly run as this one.

My friend Jamie Raskin is one of the most careful and principled people in Congress. So when he says the director of the FBI may be running a taxpayer funded slush fund, I pay attention.

Here is what he found.

Kash Patel directed more than $1 million in bonus payments to a small circle of agents in his inner circle and on his security detail.

Some were getting nearly $8,000 every two weeks on top of salaries that were already maxed out at the federal ceiling. A number of them collected close to $40,000 over consecutive pay periods.

The payments came so fast that the FBI’s bonus reserve accounts ran dry and some checks bounced.

So who got the money?

Agents on Patel’s so-called "director’s advisory team."

That is the unit created in 2025 and described internally as a payback squad, built to dig up dirt on the law enforcement officials who investigated Trump and his allies.

Raskin has given Patel until June 29 to account for every payment, every recipient, and any internal review of whether this was even legal.

Patel should answer for all of it.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: Italy's deputy PM and foreign minister Antonio Tajani just CANCELLED his planned diplomatic trip to Washington on monday, declaring that Trump's "serious and offensive words" directed at the prime minister "offend all of Italy."

This comes after Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni TORCHED Donald Trump after he claimed she “begged” him for a photo at the G7 and that he only took it because he “felt sorry for her.”

The Italian PM was wondering.
"I don’t know why the president of the United States behaves this way with his own allies; it’s not the first time this happens."

She went on saying, "I can only say that I’m sorry he doesn’t show the same determination with the enemies of the West, with the enemies of the United States, whose leaders he instead shows himself to be much more accommodating towards."

Italy's prime minister is a boss lady.

This is Trump donor and Mar-a-Lago neighbor John Cafaro who got the no-bid contract to install a water purification system for the reflecting pool. He has 2 prior convictions, one for bribing a member of Congress and another for an illegal loan that violated campaign finance laws.

Donald Trump walked into the final day of the G7 nearly an hour late and announced "I'm the boss." The room laughed. Not with him. At him.

Macron, the actual host, had already kicked things off, then welcomed the latecomer with a polite "How are you?" the way you'd humor an uncle who wandered in halfway through dinner.

A day earlier, a live microphone caught Macron leaning into Zelensky and confiding that the leaders had just had a "difficult discussion" with Trump.

Difficult. That's diplomat for exhausting.

This is the whole gap. Trump sells himself as the dealmaker, the closer, the guy from the boardroom show who points and fires people.

In his head he's still hosting "The Apprentice." In the room, the grown-ups are quietly working around him, scheduling the meetings he forgets to schedule, smoothing the messes, waiting for him to sit down.

And the deals? He flew into Evian waving a memorandum with Iran like a trophy. Then he admitted it isn't even final, and if Tehran misbehaves he'll go right back to "dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head."

Ask him why the same leaders gossiping about him on hot mics were suddenly clapping for his Iran announcement, and he tells reporters they've realized he was right and now "all of a sudden they all want to be involved."

They don't think you were right. They're managing you.

There's a famous old photo of Trump at a G7 2018, arms crossed, while Merkel and a half-circle of leaders lean over a table at him like parents staging an intervention.

Nothing has changed except the year. He still shows up late, still demands the center of the frame, still confuses being tolerated for being respected.

A boss is someone people follow because they trust his judgment. What Trump has is a room of people who learned to schedule around his moods, flatter the deal so he stays in his chair, and say "difficult" only when the mic is off.

You don't do that to your boss. You do that to a liability.

The Maduro Regime is still in power in Venezuela. The IRGC regime is still in power in Iran. The Epstein regime is still in power in D.C.

Police killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley on the false claim his mother stole diapers. His killer is on paid leave & his ID is hidden.

Police killed 7-year-old Aiyana Jones as she slept in her living room. Her murderer Joseph Weekley walked free.

Police killed 11-year-old Tamir Rice as he played in a park. HIs murderer Timothy Loehmann walked free.

America's carceral system treats Black children like chattel because the system isn't broken—it's working exactly as intended. And that's the problem.

I was involved in Iran issues in the first Trump administration.

The Trump “deal” could be the most humiliating in U.S. diplomatic history.

Hundred of billions in exchange for a “promise” we already had. Pathetic.

How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?
