GEN. KEANE: Russia started spring and summer offensive, and failed miserably. They are losing more territory than they have ability to take, and Ukraine is on offense and retaking territory.

For the first time ever, Putin cannot replace number of casualties he's taken. In other words, he's taking more casualties than he has people to replace them, which is major turnaround in the war.

Economically, Putin's hurting, despite all of the bluster they put out at St. Petersburg Economic Conference just held recently, telling the world what great shape they are in.

It's just a bunch of hooey, saying they've had 10% growth and they're solid economically. Quite the opposite is taking place here.

ZELENSKY: I told Trump that I didn’t play with Putin. For us, it’s very serious. It’s not about cards.

I didn’t have cards, but I had the most important — smart and brave people. This is our card — the card of Ukraine. That’s why we’re now very strong with our drone technology.

For 5 years he’s been promising evidence.

When asked for any, he responds like a little toddler.

Such a bitch

This is unhinged. If a family member behaved this way, you'd worry about them. If a CEO behaved like this, the board would meet. He's living in an alternate reality and furious when a person won't indulge his fantasies.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I was never in my life paid by a foreign government. Never. Meanwhile Jared Kushner is being paid tens and tens of millions of dollars directly from Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar. He has taken in over $6B into his fund all while he acts as the chief US negotiator for the war in Iran with those very same countries. If you want to know who someone is working for look WH they are being paid by. I was never paid a cent from a foreign government and when my Dad was President I did ZERO business outside painting and I never made more than $225k in a year from the sale of my paintings.

GPS jamming has reached space, and from orbit a single source can blank an entire continent at once, far beyond any jammer on the ground.

Scientists traced short GPS outages across Europe, from Iceland to Italy, to three Russian satellites in at least 3 of 75 cases logged since 2019, NYT. 1/

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

Pete Hegseth's D-Day speech was a grotesque, ignorant, and idiotic desecration of the memory of every Allied soldier who stormed Normandy — nothing but pure American white supremacist stupidity.

To stand at the graves of young men who gave their lives fighting an actual Nazi invasion and then equate desperate migrants in rubber boats with the Third Reich is beyond disrespectful — it's morally bankrupt, historically illiterate garbage.

Those heroes liberated Europe from the same kind of fascistic tyranny the authoritarian Trump regime is promoting in America, not from immigrants seeking a better life. Weaponizing their sacrifice for cheap far-right anti-immigration rhetoric dishonors their graves and exposes Hegseth as a comic-book nobody utterly deaf to history.

Shame on him. Pure, self-important vulgarity.

If you don’t understand how & why they’re counting legal votes in Los Angeles right now, then it’s a damn good thing you won’t be Mayor of Los Angeles.

FREDERIKSEN: One of the things where I have disagreed with some of my colleagues is all the red lines that have been put on Ukraine, because I don't think you can win a war with red lines.

You remember in the beginning, we were willing to give away some of our F-16s. We were not allowed to do that because some allies said, "Well, we cannot put our fighter jets in Ukraine."

Then we had questions about long-range weapons. That was also red line. There have been so many red lines. It's almost like we have asked you to defend Europe with one arm behind your back.

That has not been fair. And one of the ways to get around some of these red lines is producing directly in Ukraine, because now you can produce some of the weapons that some allies have been refusing to give you.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

You want to know something funny. When I was deep in my addiction I always thought I should teach a masterclass on how to cook crack. That’s how fucked I was.
I’m no victim. All of it is on me. I’m the one who fucked up a very privileged life. There’s no gaslighting. Addiction is never an excuse. May be an explanation but never an excuse. I put myself in that hell. And to be fair I pulled myself out, but not without an enormous amount of grace and forgiveness from the people that love me. I’m sorry you feel this way about me. I’m not asking you to change your mind. I just want you to know that I am responsible for a lot of things—- but not everything man. Love and respect.

Chris Murphy: Pulte's chief qualification, according to Donald Trump, is that he is willing to go into the intelligence files and pull out information on Trump's political opponents. That's the only reason this guy got picked... Even if he only stays on the job for a couple of weeks, that's enough time for him to go in and fish out information on a whole bunch of people that Trump is trying to destroy.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

We’re already facing the worst student loan crisis in history: nearly 1 in 4 borrowers are in default.

Now Trump wants to make it even worse.

On July 1, he’ll eliminate the most affordable repayment plan and raise costs by as much as $4,000 a year.

We can’t let that happen.

[Brian J. Karem @BrianKarem]

LIE. I was there. They were walking through the building, destroying property, spreading feces on the walls, stealing things, rioting and threatening to kill the Vice President. But other than that . . .

[Institute for the Study of War @TheStudyofWar]

MORE: Putin’s claims about the battlefield are incompatible with available evidence and suggest that the Russian military command is not providing Putin with accurate intelligence about the reality of Russian battlefield performance.

Russian advances have largely stagnated while Ukrainian forces have achieved some tactical successes in 2026. ISW continues to assess that the Russian military command’s repeated exaggerations have likely given Putin a false perception of the battlefield situation.

ISW has observed evidence that Russian forces have seized 99.77 percent of Luhansk Oblast, 79.93 percent of Donetsk Oblast, and 74.99 percent of Zaporizhia Oblast as of June 5. Even including areas in which Russian forces have infiltrated but do not control falls short of Putin’s claims.

ISW assesses as of June 5 that Russian forces maintain a presence (either through advances or infiltrations) in 99.77 percent of Luhansk Oblast, 80.82 percent of Donetsk Oblast, and 75.7 percent of Zaporizhia Oblast.

Ukrainian forces have liberated more territory than Russian forces seized in April and May 2026, highlighting Russia’s dwindling battlefield performance and Ukraine’s successes in halting the Russian Spring-Summer 2026 offensive.

Russian forces are struggling to advance in 2026 at the same rates that Russian forces did in 2025, in part due to successful Ukrainian ground counterattacks that have liberated tactically significant areas and Ukraine’s growing mid-range strike campaign that is inhibiting Russian logistics and ability to sustain attacks on the frontline.

Given current trends, it remains unclear that Russian forces will be able to seize the Fortress Belt or the remainder of Donetsk Oblast at all.

@BarbMcQuade In Australia we've had ranked choice voting forever. We call it 'preferential' voting & one ranks your preferred candidates all the way through the ballet.
All you need to know is that while the UK had Thatcher and the US had Reagan we had progressive Labor govts thru the 80's😻

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

One suggestion in The Fix is a strong Congress to check an abusive president. Ranked-choice voting, independent redistricting commissions, and proportional representation would help. Until then, support candidates who reflect the will of the people, not just the billionaires.

For almost a decade they turned @HunterBiden into the ultimate villain. The laptop, the drugs, the scandals. Nonstop.

Everything about him got weaponized, memed to death, and thrown around as proof the elite are straight rotten.

Dude got reduced to nothing... But now?

The second he starts spitting his real story, his struggles, the addiction, family pain, the whole lore...

The whole vibe shifts.

A ton of people are actually listening.
Agreeing with what he’s saying.
Following him heavy.
Sharing his posts.

And through all that raw talk, they starting to see what’s really going on in this country.

It’s wild as hell. The same dude they loved to hate turns into somebody worth hearing when he speaks for himself.

No filters, no spin, just straight honesty about the mess he lived through and the mess he sees everywhere.

Makes you think... maybe we've been fed these fake caricatures for so long that when somebody finally drops the act and talks real, it hits different.

Folks are starving for that authenticity. It cuts through all the noise and shows how broken the whole game is.

Hunter ain’t no saint, but watching this play out proves one thing... the truth hits harder when it comes from the person who actually lived it, not from the ones trying to bury him.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day – the Allied landings in Normandy, which significantly hastened the countdown to the Nazis' collapse in World War II. It is one of the most important moments of unity among the defenders of life in human history, and it was less than a year until the peoples’ aspiration for freedom and the hope of peace prevailed in May 1945. It happened then. We are working to make it happen again today.

And although yesterday in Petersburg another cynical order to continue killing was issued for the army trying to destroy our freedom, history has seen this before. The Nazis also had their own hopes after D-Day. But freedom still wins. And even in the darkest circumstances, people find ways to come together to protect life.

I thank all those who are now helping to protect the values that prevailed in World War II. I thank everyone who is defending life. Glory to Ukraine!

3 scenarios outlined here. Optimistic emissions scenario keeps us at or below 2C but requires immediate action and sustained effort. The other two are middle of the road scenarios - with a most likely ECS (strength of greenhouse forcing) and a high ECS. Both of these blast us past 3C and the higher middle of the road scenario brings us to 4C.
The chart illustrates 2 unresolved issues: 1. Human decisions about future emissions. 2. Exactly how strong is greenhouse forcing? ECS (literally Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity) is the theoretical value of doubling CO2. We don’t know exactly what that number is, often because we are not sure of the strength/ sign of feedbacks in the Earth system. One feedback example is the change in cloud cover and how albedo/ sun reflectivity is impacted. The point here is that anything but the optimistic scenario puts us on an ominous path.
