"Just 17 percent of [Pratt’s] individual contributors reside within the city of Los Angeles, a New York Times analysis of campaign donations through May 27 shows, amounting to about $750,000 of the nearly $3.75 million he raised.”

Katie Phang on the murder of 60 Minutes: "What the Ellisons have done to CBS has now transcended just being a red flag — it is a huge honking warning sign of what is to come to CNN. And look, you may not be a fan of CNN, but we should always be rooting for the independence of our media. And yet we've seen time and time again, mainstream legacy media bending the knee and capitulating to the demands of a fucking toddler in the White House."

Marco Rubio claims that Trump never falls asleep and by way of defense says Donald has called him at 2 a.m. and 5 a.m.
Not the flex he thinks it is: dementia patients often can't sleep through the night and then can't stay awake during the day.

Maja Chwalinska has earned more prize money at this year’s Roland Garros than she’s earned in her entire career.

Her total career earnings before Roland Garros:

$864,030.

What she’s earned at this tournament:

$870,000.

She will be the new world No. 30 when the new rankings come out.

She started Roland Garros as the world No. 114.

A life-changing journey that started with a dream from qualifying.

She took a 4 month break after a 2 year battle with depression due to the pressure & stress of playing professional tennis.

She didn’t know if she would ever return to this sport.

Everything she’s earned this tournament and throughout her entire career has been earned the hard way.

The fact that she’s where she is today is nothing short extraordinary. 🥹

🇵🇱❤️

Sadly, three children have been left without their mother...

We have received heartbreaking news: in the Zaporizhzhia region, brave defender Olena Kviatkovska was killed as a result of an enemy attack. 💔🕯️

Our deepest condolences to her family, loved ones, and all who knew her.

May her memory be eternal. 🇺🇦🕯️

It’s called sundowning, and happens with dementia. They sleep during the day, and then are up all night acting crazy. Sound familiar?

The Trump administration has announced it will dismantle a $368 million deep-ocean monitoring system that provides critical data on the world’s oceans. The decision is sparking alarm among experts that US is taking eyes off the oceans at a dangerous time. https://t.co/VcifYxiYcR

Deeply honored to have received this award.

This week marks 83 years since one of the darkest periods in L.A.'s history, a week of senseless violence by U.S. servicemen against zoot suit-wearing young Latinos.

This dreadful chapter came to be known as the Zoot Suit Riots.

Let's get into it.

I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

This is not World War II footage.

This is Toretsk, Ukraine — and it’s not as far away as you think.

A city that once had over 30,000 residents. Now almost completely erased.

There is no excuse for this. None.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

Rubio: I have never seen Trump fall asleep.

Lieu: I’m going to show you a video that shows you just lied to congress. Here is a video of him asleep while you are talking.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Lieu: Instead of holding North Korea style cabinet meetings where everyone kisses Trump’s ass, I’m going to ask you to come clean—there is something wrong with Trump. There’s a reason he keeps going to the hospital and they keep giving him cognitive tests. We have not seen him in eight days.

Rubio: I assure this is not a president who sleeps or who is cognitively impaired in any way.

Lieu: I just showed you three videos of him sleeping.

“I thought I wouldn’t survive the night. I was in a panic, crying when the explosions became so strong that they blew the shelter doors open,” says a 13-year-old girl from Kyiv.

The girl and her mother were taking cover from a massive attack in a nearby municipal shelter. When a missile hit their home, smoke filled the shelter and plaster began falling from the ceiling.

And yet, this is what childhood in Ukraine looks like today.
