Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

Susan Collins 30 years ago: “I’ve pledged that if I’m elected I will only serve two terms. 12 years is long enough to be in public service.”

A nugget buried in the big NYT piece on how the Trump White House had an internal freak-out over the Epstein case....If Bondi didn't use DOJ email, what did she use? I recall a time when the right (and the NYT) went ballistic over a Cabinet official's use of non-gov't email.

CPI (inflation) just came in at 4.2%
The first time it's been over 4% since 2023.

Here's every other time CPI was 4%+ for the first time in at least a year, going back to 1975:

BREAKING: We're suing the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service over their plan to give away 715 acres of a public wildlife refuge to billionaire corporation Space X.

Americans shouldn't be sacrificing their public lands to subsidize a company owned by the richest man in the world.

BREAKING: The Seattle City Council has unanimously passed a 1-year moratorium on data center construction within city limits. The legislation makes Seattle the largest U.S. city to pass such a ban amid the Generative AI boom.

Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts.

The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display.

This Administration has removed the achievements of the Air Force’s first female Thunderbird pilot Retired Colonel Nicole Malachowski. The removal of these articles have sparked criticism because her place in Air Force history is not a Political slogan it’s well documented.

Inflation is so high that it's erasing all wage gains.

Inflation: 4.2% in May for the past year
Wage growth: 3.4% in May for the past year.

Americans are getting squeezed financially. This isn't just "bad vibes" about the economy. There is real pain, especially for middle-class and lower-income households. It's tough because so many basic items are seeing sizable price increases: gas, electricity, food, medical care.

[Daniel Swain @Weather_West]

As earlier noted, a significant West Coast heatwave will build in the coming days, persisting at least 7-10 days. A strong & at least somewhat persistent ridge will bring war-to-hot conditions West Coast wide. Heat will be most anomalous in PacNW, but will also be present in CA.

Platner: Susan Collins said she would only serve two terms. She's now running for her sixth. She has worked in politics longer than Joe Biden. She hasn't held a town hall since I was in eighth grade. I've held 83 town halls in the past eight months. What are you trying to hide?

Nancy Mace just lost her GOP primary for South Carolina governor.

GAO: Before allowing an untested (and since-replaced) contractor to start operating the massive Fort Bliss migrant tent detention camp for $1.3b, ICE *didn't even inspect the place first*.

3 detainees died there. ICE inspectors later found 49 violations.
