Trump just stripped protections from millions of acres at Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments.

Indigenous people have fought for these sacred lands for generations. The Trump administration is once again handing our sacred homelands and public lands over to billionaires and corporations.

I've fought for these lands before — and won. We're not stopping now.

🗣️ Haaland: "It has been the best weeks I have had in my entire life. I think it has changed Norway. I think it has changed me. I hope it has brought the people together.

I hope this also motivates young people back home in Norway, that it is possible to play on the biggest stage wearing this jersey."

This dog's owner died. The rest of the family was deported. Dior, left behind, will now die for being alone.

Save her. She is at the NYC ACC.

Thank you.

Trump’s profiteering in office was once unimaginable in a democracy, particularly by a sitting American president. The Trump family’s earnings move him into an echelon of enrichment more associated with strongmen in Russia and Turkey. @jasondhorowitz https://t.co/GXUa2Bx797

Lemonade stands have been a summer staple for American children going back to the 1800s, though rules regulating them vary broadly among states.

Three brothers in Michigan were priced out of selling lemonade due to permit fees — until they fought back. https://t.co/RV8OO0DO48

🐾90 lb, 2-y/o beauty Dior at ACC since late May b/c her owner died & the rest of her family was deported. Sweet, smart, knows tricks, brave, social, wiggly & fun. Has a mass on her tail. She is upgraded to adoptable b/c she is a good-girl. Foster or adopt 7/02: https://t.co/a4IFvvJ8my

It's actually mind-boggling that @JDVance would say Watergate would be a "10 hour story" today.
Just to review, Nixon's aides authorized a break-in of the DNC HQ to install bugging equipment--in a caper foiled by a night watchman, who called police. They then enlisted the CIA to mislead the FBI that the break-in was related to a probe of malign foreign actors.
The entire operation was paid for by a slush fund controlled by the WH.
The WH also enlisted the IRS to probe hundreds of Nixon's political enemies.
The AG, the WH COS and several other top aides all were convicted and served time for their involvement in the crimes and coverup.
Nixon was caught on his own secret tape system conspiring with them but was pardoned a month after he resigned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
That Vance thinks this would be a "10 hour story" today speaks volumes about the moral and ethical degradation of the Trump era.

[Jonathan Martin @jmart]

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued the following statement on the Supreme Court of the United States' decision in Mullin v. Doe, regarding Temporary Protected Status (TPS):

"Today, the United States Supreme Court issued its ruling allowing Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to be canceled or expire.   

"Today’s decision is a legal decision.  As I have stated in the past, the policy to remove these individuals from this country is a mistake.

"As a result of today’s ruling, the over 10,000 Haitians who have been living in Ohio (mostly in the Springfield area) legally through TPS will now be here illegally and will be subject to immediate deportation. This also means that while these Haitians were working and contributing to our community and economy yesterday, today it is now illegal to employ them.

"The situation in Haiti could hardly be much worse.  The violent gangs run most of the country.  The government barely functions.  And, the economy is in shambles.
"Further, our federal government has an advisory against traveling to Haiti, and our Federal Aviation Administration prohibits U.S. carriers from flying there because of the danger to planes of being shot at by the gangs. 

"But, more importantly, changing the immigration status of these individuals is not in the best interest of the United States nor Ohio."

Here are some of the facts about Gen CD Donahue’s storied Army career. Hegseth is forcing him to retire with no explanation, sending shockwaves through the Army and Special Ops community where Gen Donahue is widely respected.

* Commander of Delta Force in Iraq and Syria during the ISIS fight

* Led the mission to capture the Benghazi planner in Libya

* Ordered to secure the Kabul Airport after a chaotic withdrawal; returned order to the airport; arranged for hundreds of evacuation flights saving tens of thousands of lives; was NOT in charge of security at Abbey Gate where Marines were in charge of securing that entrance to the airport where 13 Americans were killed by a suicide bomber

* coordinated military aid to Ukraine after the Russian invasion and knows more about lessons learned on the Ukraine battlefield and advances in drone warfare than any senior officer in the US military

* led humanitarian aid efforts as head of 82nd Airborne from post at Ft Bragg during NC floods two years ago

* stint as head of US Army Europe cut short and will require presidential waiver not to lose 4th Star and retirement benefits after Secretary Hegseth forced him to retire early, having not had his 4th Star for the requisite 3 years. He was 18 months into current assignment.

NEW @WIRED: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos sought to ingratiate themselves to Trump after the 2024 election — who in return mocked them behind their backs, per new book by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan

— Zuckerberg sent Trump a photo of a letter one of his grade-school kids wrote that looked forward to the “golden age of america”

— Bezos denigrated The Washington Post to Trump and described the newspaper as one of his worst financial investments

— Trump showed off texts from Zuckerberg and Bezos to other guests, including to Elon Musk, who mocked them as “Firstclass groveling”

— Months after their dinner, Bezos tried to get a favor from Trump, telling him it was a risk for SpaceX to dominate govt space contracts

— Bezos suggested Trump tell Deputy Defense Secy Feinberg to ensure“contractor diversity,” opening the door for Blue Origin to get contracts

— But Trump ultimately screwed over Bezos after he reconciled with Musk, and instead expanded SpaceX’s access to US space launch sites

— WIRED obtained the details from “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump” by @maggieNYT and @jonathanvswan ahead of June 23 release
