Russian presidency in the UNSC is a stark reminder that something is wrong with the way international security architecture is functioning. A state that systemically ruins international peace and security will be presiding over the body tasked with maintaining them @United24media
A calf in southern Texas tested positive for the New World screwworm, the first instance of the deadly fly-borne parasite detected in U.S. livestock since 1966. https://t.co/DGqls32KmZ
50-49: Republicans, by one vote, chose to keep Trump’s insurrectionist slush fund dream alive.
After they fumbled around for hours, we needed just one more Republican to muster the courage to end Trump’s taxpayer handout to cop beaters and felons.
As per usual, they were spineless.

Within a corrupt political system, here is an inspiring story which speaks to the beauty and strength of democracy and what we can accomplish when we work together.
In April 2025, as part of our Fighting Oligarchy tour, I held a rally in Missoula, Montana. As we almost always do at our rallies, we invited local union leaders to address the crowd and say a few words about issues impacting their communities. One of those local union leaders was a National Forest firefighter named Sam Forstag, who discussed how Donald Trump and Elon Musk's DOGE had just fired thousands of federal employees — including many in Montana.
As a result of that rally and the 9,000 people there who responded very positively to his remarks, Sam, who had never run for public office before, decided to take on the Establishment and run for the U.S. Congress as a proud member of the American working class.
Guess what? On Tuesday, June 2, after putting together a strong grassroots coalition, Sam Forstag won the Democratic Party’s primary in the First District of Montana. And, with our help, he’ll soon become Congressman Sam Forstag.
Impressive letter from Zelenskyy to Putin. Of course, Putin doesn't care at all about future generations of Russians, or this generation. He only cares about his own skin and the power needed to preserve it. As Zelenskyy points out, failure for Russia leads to change...
The CNN anchor was so outraged by the president's "completely unwarranted" behavior toward his associate that he devoted a segment to it. https://t.co/llH2vuQPSQ
Dear @SecretaryWright: Some deep questions for your deep thoughts:
-Did you know the sun still shines during winter?
-Did you know that solar panels rely on sunlight rather than warmth?
In fact, solar panels can operate even more efficiently during the winter.
Rep. Angie Craig demolishes Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins: "Joe Biden is no longer the president. Mr. Trump is. Your party controls Congress. You own these numbers at this point. I'm sick of hearing you blame an administration from a year and half ago. You own every single bit of this."
The Trump administration has been telling you they had screwworm under control for months. Now, it's here.
What happened? Trump and DOGE slashed funding for screwworm monitoring programs.
And the entire GOP let them. Thank them for today's new hell they unleashed on you.
When a fire burned aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier in March, the US Navy released a short statement saying the blaze had been “contained,” that two sailors had received medical treatment for “non-life-threatening injuries” and the carrier was “fully operational.”
But new video obtained by CNN makes clear the fire was more severe and damaging than the Navy suggested. Sources tell CNN that the ship’s fire-suppression system failed to work. https://t.co/WJz5jDx49Z
There is progress in our negotiations with the European Union regarding Ukraine’s membership. We will have a very clear schedule of opportunities for moving forward in the negotiations, especially after the changes in Hungary. We met the deadlines. Now, already in June, we strongly expect to move to the opening of the clusters, which Ukraine has prepared. We've done our part. Now it’s up to the European Union.
More than a dozen GOP lawmakers defied their own leadership — and President Donald Trump — by voting with Democrats to approve a major bill to deliver billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine while imposing steep sanctions on Russia. https://t.co/idiJ43TEUH
Trump promised not to “touch” Medicaid.
Now he is cutting it by $1 trillion and taking health care away from patients with cancer, AIDS and other life-threatening diseases to pay for tax breaks to the top 1% and his wealthy campaign contributors.
Unimaginable cruelty.
The Kennedy Center ordered employees to remove President Trump’s name from the performing arts venue, strip all references from signs, brochures, the website and other materials — and to update email signatures and letterhead immediately. https://t.co/1J2FEPH33q
An internal Republican fight over legislation that would officially kill President Trump’s $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund heated up, putting the party’s most vulnerable incumbent senators in the spotlight and bringing action on the floor to a halt https://t.co/BfUmzFr6RT
🚨 BREAKING
A federal judge just BLOCKED the Trump administration's attempt to strip a major U.S. climate research center of the supercomputer used for weather and climate forecasting.
Why?
Because the administration couldn't explain why it was doing it.
The court found NSF likely violated federal law by offering no adequate justification, ignoring required procedures, and failing to consider the scientific and public harms before moving forward.
That's not a policy disagreement.
That's a judge saying:
"Show your work."
If you don't like what the thermometer says, you don't get to smash the thermometer.
You can change policy.
You can change priorities.
You can't cripple critical scientific infrastructure because you don't like the answers it produces.
A federal court just reminded the administration that evidence, process, and reality still matter.
Receipts below. 👇
Rep. Keating to Rubio: "I'm sure you're aware that Ukraine, country that at the time had third-largest nuclear arsenal, peacefully turned over their nuclear weapons in conjunction with Budapest Memorandum.
And in exchange for U.S. commitment to defend Ukraine if it ever came under threat. The U.S. gave its word to Ukraine that it would defend them.
And I find this amazing. In your opening remarks, as you took us all over the world and mentioned 15 different incidents where you have interceded — 15, the top 15 — not once did you mention Ukraine when you were prioritizing achievements that are there."
Agriculture Sec @BrookeLRollins in November: "We have screwworm under control south of the border. Beef prices will come down by spring 2026"
Beef prices continue to rise, and screwworm is now in the US.
HOLY SH*T, this parting statement by Scott Pelley is WILD:
"New management has instructed me to INJECT FALSEHOODS AND BIAS into a politically sensitive story. I've been told to include assertions that are unverified."
I bet he knows a LOT more, too. 🔥
More of CNN's false equivalence language. Ukraine is not targeting St. Petersburg, but striking military installations, Russian warships, and oil refineries. It's the Russian terror state that strikes cities and targets civilians. https://t.co/Cy7DgqtkuT
