Rachel Maddow tonight talking about how Trump is trying to stop the opening of the US Canada Gordie Howe International bridge.

Because while the bridge was 100% funded by Canada, Donald wants half ownership for the US.

We don't have a president. We have a mob boss.

So, Trump is gonna give Iran $300 billion to open a strait that wasn’t closed, so long as they promise not build a nuke they didn’t have?

Do I have that just about right?

I don't think that every problem is caused by Covid.
I think many problems are made worse by Covid.

The “please be kind to those who choose to wear a mask” directives feel like a special kind of gaslighting.

Instead, how about: “please consider thanking every masked person you see for their evidence-based & respectful decision to help keep themselves and you safe.”

So they got rid of the program that spent millions to prevent a screwworm outbreak because it is 'waste fraud and abuse' and now they are spending a billion to stop a screwworm outbreak???

'Today, following the withdrawal of the US funding for disease surveillance and severe funding shortfalls, contact tracing is reaching fewer than *half* of the contacts'.

This is a dire and very dangerous situation. Control is collapsing.

JD Vance promoting his book about finding his way back to faith while helping manage Situation Room meetings on how to cover up for pedophiles is about as Republican as it gets.

#BREAKING: Psaki: “Now, the origin story of how we got here is very worth remembering because part of the reason Elon Musk’s companies were able to become so successful in the first place, is because they received a ton of government subsidies, investments, and contracts, and that money was especially crucial to Musk’s companies in their earliest days, when their success was far from a sure bet. Without a critical taxpayer funded investment during a very precarious time for Tesla, it may not have survived at all. And likewise, the financing and contracts that SpaceX received from the federal government in its early years, were absolutely VITAL to making it the company it has now become. So the federal government that Musk took his chainsaw to, was the SAME federal government that enabled that guy to become the world’s richest man by the massive margin we see today.” 🤔

3:30 a.m. The world is asleep, but we are not.
Shelling echoes from one direction, while the frightening sounds of stray dogs fill the night from another.
Fear follows us from every side, and even sleep has become a distant luxury.
This is the reality we endure, night after night.

Israel is dropping toxic chemicals on farmland in South Lebanon

We’re talking about catastrophic levels of glyphosate, a chemical linked to cancer

11,000 times above safe levels

This is a deliberate war crime aimed at making life impossible and forcing people out of their land

The fact that the Epstein Estate ACTUALLY PAID a settlement to one of the women who alleged that Donald Trump raped her as a minor, and it was paid AFTER Epstein died, as told under oath by Epstein's longtime accountant, should be a more significant story. The fact that Trump said he wasn't ever on Epstein's plane and now we found out he was, should be a more significant story. The fact that senior officials gathered in the Situation Room to concoct and coordinate an Epstein coverup IS a significant story, and being treated as such, but in light of all the rest and his behavior throughout, it should be the end of his presidency.

Trump's Iran deal is so fantastic that he won't show it to you.

Trump's Iran deal is so great for America that he won't let you read a word of it.

...Just like his taxes
...Just like his health care plan
...Just like Mexico paid for the wall.

It is all ONE HUGE LIE.

I don't mind at all having to pay taxes when the poor can't. What really pisses me off is having to pay taxes when the rich won't.

What if viruses don’t need to infect the brain to damage it?

➡️ A growing body of evidence suggests that viral proteins themselves can act as neurotoxins, triggering long-lasting neurological symptoms even when little or no virus is present in the CNS. 1/

🚨 BREAKING: The Strategic Petroleum Reserve has just fallen to its lowest level since August 1983- 340.3mb. That's a 42 yr low. No matter where you stand politically, it's a remarkable statistic: America's emergency oil stockpile hasn't been this depleted since the Reagan era.

Pete Hegseth fired her. Now she's running for Congress.

Nancy Lacore, a retired three-star Navy vice admiral, has advanced to a June 23 Democratic primary runoff in South Carolina's 1st District - the House seat Rep. Nancy Mace is vacating to run for governor. Lacore was abruptly dismissed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last August, part of a wave of senior military removals on Aug. 22, 2025. She has called her firing "without cause."

To be clear about where this stands: Lacore hasn't won anything yet. She's headed to a runoff against attorney Mac Deford on June 23 to decide who becomes the Democratic nominee. The winner of that contest moves on to November for a long-shot run at the seat - which the Cook Political Report rates as solidly Republican.

But the storyline writing itself is hard to miss. A career officer pushed out by the sitting Defense Secretary is now asking voters to send her to Washington, where she'd have a say over the very Pentagon that showed her the door.

Her campaign leans directly into that history - framing the dismissal as exactly the kind of accountability gap she wants to challenge from inside Congress. Mace, meanwhile, is stepping up to a statewide race, leaving one of the most Republican-leaning seats in the state suddenly without an incumbent.

It's an uphill climb in a district drawn to stay red. But a fired admiral on the ballot is the kind of race that makes people pay attention.
