Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued the following statement on the Supreme Court of the United States' decision in Mullin v. Doe, regarding Temporary Protected Status (TPS):
"Today, the United States Supreme Court issued its ruling allowing Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to be canceled or expire.
"Today’s decision is a legal decision. As I have stated in the past, the policy to remove these individuals from this country is a mistake.
"As a result of today’s ruling, the over 10,000 Haitians who have been living in Ohio (mostly in the Springfield area) legally through TPS will now be here illegally and will be subject to immediate deportation. This also means that while these Haitians were working and contributing to our community and economy yesterday, today it is now illegal to employ them.
"The situation in Haiti could hardly be much worse. The violent gangs run most of the country. The government barely functions. And, the economy is in shambles.
"Further, our federal government has an advisory against traveling to Haiti, and our Federal Aviation Administration prohibits U.S. carriers from flying there because of the danger to planes of being shot at by the gangs.
"But, more importantly, changing the immigration status of these individuals is not in the best interest of the United States nor Ohio."
The president made unverified claims that problems with the Reflecting Pool are a result of vandalism.
"It is absolutely impossible that anyone could have inoculated that pool and shown an effect in literally hours," said Wayne Carmichael, a biological sciences professor. https://t.co/MOgOfiLRrm
In her final act as director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard released documents about COVID-19’s origins and Dr. Anthony Fauci. @NoUpside goes claim-by-claim through the "Fauci Files" and finds the documents themselves undercut her bogus accusations that Fauci “sparked” COVID-19 and then covered it up.

My friend Jamie Raskin is one of the most careful and principled people in Congress. So when he says the director of the FBI may be running a taxpayer funded slush fund, I pay attention.
Here is what he found.
Kash Patel directed more than $1 million in bonus payments to a small circle of agents in his inner circle and on his security detail.
Some were getting nearly $8,000 every two weeks on top of salaries that were already maxed out at the federal ceiling. A number of them collected close to $40,000 over consecutive pay periods.
The payments came so fast that the FBI’s bonus reserve accounts ran dry and some checks bounced.
So who got the money?
Agents on Patel’s so-called "director’s advisory team."
That is the unit created in 2025 and described internally as a payback squad, built to dig up dirt on the law enforcement officials who investigated Trump and his allies.
Raskin has given Patel until June 29 to account for every payment, every recipient, and any internal review of whether this was even legal.
Patel should answer for all of it.

National Park Service employees and contractors to trying hard to clean the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial. So far the algae seems to be winning. As for the American flag blue paint, it’s starting to peel from the bottom of the pool — a short-lived $14 million paint job.
Donald Trump is spending more than $300 million in taxpayer dollars on his luxury ballroom.
He said Americans wouldn't pay "one dime." He's a LIAR.

When Biden implemented the same approach -- limited release of Iranian funds for humanitarian purchases subject to US approval, Republicans called him "either stupid or naive" and claimed the money would fund Hamas. Now Trump agreed to the same mechanism and it's totally fine.
Incredible. Publishing what appears to be (if you care to read the "evidence") a totally legitimate US program, and even citing the risks of these being used as "Russian information campaigns", Tulsi Gabbard - the gift that kept giving - presents the Kremlin with yet one more information operation.
Read our investigation from 2025 where we presented evidence that the hybrid ops unit of GRU's 29155 came up with the whole "bio-labs" concept - and co-opted Tulsi into it. https://t.co/D8qdE38ahv
A virulent form of misogyny has become "the single most important force uniting the American right." @helenlewis
And white evangelicalism is at the center of that force. As the Southern Baptist Convention meets this week, it is fixated on silencing women.

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.
