I hope these statistics will be remembered in November.

This dandy from the WSJ Editorial Board:

"Since Mr. Trump declassified the memo, we can quote the part he didn’t. “Vote tabulation systems would be difficult to manipulate on a wide enough scale to compromise election results,” it says. “The systems in each voting location are not connected to the Internet or to each other, and many methods for exploiting them rely on physical proximity.” Achieving it across many jurisdictions “would be difficult” and “audits and paper trails very likely would uncover such an effort."

...
"Unfortunately, the message from Mr. Trump and others has been that America’s elections can’t be trusted, and the only hope is the SAVE America Act. Aside from being untrue, this is a political backfire for the GOP. If Republican voters believe it, and the bill falls short, then why waste time going to the polls in November? Has the GOP already forgotten how Mr. Trump’s fraud outbursts cost them two Senate seats in the 2021 Georgia runoffs?"

Not only was Trump golfing while these two Americans made the ultimate sacrifice for his illegal war of choice, he’s now going to a soccer game instead of consoling the families who lost their loved ones.

That is who Donald Trump is.

Walter Cronkite: After liberating execution camps… Germans (who cried) they didn’t know…were as as guilty as Nazis…because they applauded when Hitler shut down (media) and said, ‘We don’t need to know. We trust our government...’

It’s our duty to know.

@jimbretzke It’s ironic that Trump and his family members would thus be considered less “American” than “heritage Americans”.

To their credit the Blue Angels admit the flyover was unsafe.

Important watch for all the “you hate America and don’t understand flying” non-pilot MAGAs who made this somehow a litmus test for Trump.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Twelve years ago, Russia shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, killing 298 innocent people.

Today, we remember every victim and stand with their families, and all the nations that lost their loved ones on that tragic day. The downing of MH17 was nothing but a terrorist act. Russia has made such terror against civilians a defining feature of its policy – toward its neighbors, the world more broadly, and even its own people.

It is important to ensure that the world doesn’t turn a blind eye and that for every Russian crime – both against Ukrainians and against other people – there is justice and accountability.

@tom_peters Yes, and not just limited to works by Anglo and Anglo-American authors.

Sam Neill (2025): “It’s not a happy place, America, and I wasn’t happy there. I’m interested in the condition of America now. It beggars belief what’s happening there now. When you hear a slogan like Make America Great Again, it makes a sort of weird sense because America could be great again, but at community level. Not with sort of strange billionaires making weird decisions”

Born in 1656, "the Lily of the Mohawks" contracted smallpox at the age of 4 affecting her appearance & eyesight - Tekakwitha means "bumps into things." Baptized Catherine, Jesus was her "only love" and she died April 17, 1680.

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it.

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

The Strait of Hormuz was opened every single day of the eight years of the Obama administration.

And we didn't have to bomb anyone to achieve that goal.

Iran also never acquired a nuclear weapon in those 8 Obama years.

And we didn't have to bomb anyone to achieve that goal.

@militaryhistori Amazing!!

[David Nixon @David2426]

@jimbretzke Quite illuminating, Father. I have observed this influence campaign unfolding in my parish in downtown Columbus, Ohio. The Dominican friars fulfill their duties properly but there is a strong right-wing current among the parishioners.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

$1 million. That's the going rate lobbyists now openly quote to get a pardon case in front of Donald Trump. 

The pardon power exists for one reason: to let a president correct cases where the justice system got something wrong. That’s NOT what’s happening.  

Trump is creating an under-the-table business where wealthy criminals can buy their way out of a sentence. 

That is corruption, plain and simple, and it is an egregious abuse of the presidential pardon power.  

Enough is enough. We need legislation permitting Congress to overturn a presidential pardon with a two-thirds vote.

RYAN GOODMAN:

"Do a majority of justices understand the moment we’re in and are ready to meet it? By that, I mean they recognize we’re dealing with a rogue administration that’s engaging in radical lawlessness...I’m very concerned as to where the Court is at."

[David Nixon @David2426]

@jimbretzke Bizarre.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

The Trumps aren’t just using their family name to make money.

Their companies have received almost a billion $$ in federal contracts – a shocking and unprecedented display of corruption.

BREAKING: Trump says Greenland “should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark,” before warning Europe: “We could remove all our soldiers out of Europe. They better be careful.”

Trump is a threat to the free world.
