In last night‘s post, I concluded that we really are making progress; that Trump is losing ground. Just now, the House voted the first limitations on his war powers. Let’s keep going https://t.co/XbfLdkIdIJ

For-profit companies like GEO Group run detention centers all over the country and don’t feel any accountability.

They are a part of our nation’s broken immigration system and the cruelty of the Trump administration.

[Congressman Robert Garcia @RepRobertGarcia]

Along with @SenWhitehouse and @RepHuffman, we are fighting in court to stop the illegal construction of Trump's ballroom and the destruction of the East Wing.

“Every American is subject to audit except Donald Trump and his family. I think that’s absurd.”

Senator @RonWyden confronts Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Trump’s corrupt IRS deal to give his family immunity from tax audits.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Ballistic missiles are Russia’s last remaining argument in this war, and we must find sufficient countermeasures. I thank our partners and Mark Rutte that the PURL initiative exists and is functioning – contributions were made this May. There will be contributions in June as well. Today, we discussed how we can accelerate and expand deliveries under this key program.

I also thank all our partners who are already working with us on joint production and helping with funding so that weapons production in Ukraine can continue to grow. We discussed with the NATO Secretary General several other things that could provide Ukraine with stronger long-term financial security guarantees. We will keep working on this at both the G7 Summit and the NATO Summit in Ankara.

Sanctions against Russia. Our long-range capabilities. Financing for Ukraine. Our political cooperation. And our partners’ determination to help Ukraine precisely when help is needed – all of this sends signals to Russia that this war will bring it no results. All of this is also an incentive for Russia to turn to diplomacy. And we very much hope that over the summer and autumn we will be able to bring a real peace closer – a fair and dignified peace. I thank everyone who is helping. Thank you, @SecGenNATO!

The House for the first time approves a war powers resolution to halt military action against Iran in rebuke of President Trump's war. https://t.co/Lktzi7y8dM

🚨 Scott Pelley Just Made An Extraordinary Accusation Against CBS Leadership.

In a written statement, Pelley says executives instructed him to "inject falsehoods and bias" into a politically sensitive story.

He says he refused.

🔥 Think about what that means.

This isn't a dispute over ratings, budgets, or personalities.

It's one of America's most respected journalists accusing his own newsroom leadership of trying to alter the facts of a story.

CBS has not publicly responded to the allegation.

But if Pelley's claim is true, the fight at CBS is no longer about who runs 60 Minutes.

It's about whether editorial independence still exists inside the building.

[Rep. James Walkinshaw @Rep_Walkinshaw]

The House just passed the War Powers Resolution, sending a clear message: end Trump’s illegal war of choice in Iran.

I’ll keep fighting to end this reckless conflict before more lives are put at risk and costs rise even higher for hardworking families.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

We raised it with the previous U.S. Administration, and we continue to discuss it with the current one – namely, providing Ukraine with licenses to produce such systems, Patriot systems. And it's not only about Ukraine – it's to all the Europeans who have such capabilities to start and to produce it massively.

Current Patriot production capacity is simply not enough to meet all the existing and potential threats around the world.

Ukraine has already shown, across many types of weapons and especially in drones, that we can move fast and produce modern systems at scale. So I ask for your support at the political level to help achieve positive decisions on these licenses as well.

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

If Senate Republicans truly want to stop corruption, then they should join Senate Democrats in supporting legislation to block the blatantly corrupt tax immunity scheme for Trump’s family and permanently ban the $2 billion slush fund.

Sen. @ChrisVanHollen

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Scott Pelley gave an impassioned speech a year ago that’s worth watching today.

Kudos to him and other 60 Minutes correspondents and staff for defending the media and our democracy.

Scott pelley is going to spill all of the tea and speak all of the truth now‼️

Marco Rubio stands for nothing and believes in nothing.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

Marco Rubio is acting like he has Stockholm syndrome, totally hostage to Trump. The American people know this war is not “over.”

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

You can all see that Ukraine’s positions on the frontline are strong and that we are gradually taking back occupied territory. In May, Russia achieved almost no meaningful results on the battlefield. And that matters.

Please also pay attention to Russia's losses. They're losing 30,000 to 35,000 troops every month. And the nature of those losses changed in the past year: around 63% killed and another 37% seriously wounded. These are massive irreversible losses.

Even for Russia, this is becoming a serious problem, because the overall size of its occupation forces is shrinking.

I’m so glad @HunterBiden is on Twitter. He’s a natural. Worth following.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Trump hasn’t made a public appearance in 8 days. This after an unscheduled visit to the hospital- because he “likes getting check ups.” Thank God Jake Tapper (or as I like to call him- the Brick Tamland of his generation) is on the case hunting down clues in a book about my mom’s experience as First Lady four years ago.
