NEWS: A @lawfare report finds that *97* Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the attack were arrested, charged, or convicted of subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.

Incredible work from Katherine Pompilio:

The whole point is that he is unqualified and will make us less safe. This isn’t a glitch. It’s the design. The US is to bend to its rivals abroad and collapse from within. For this he is the right guy!

BREAKING: Rep. Pat Ryan just got the House Armed Services Committee UNANIMOUSLY to force Pete Hegseth to explain every senior military firing within the next 5 days. Hegseth has fired 24+ officers without cause or explanation. Even Republicans want answers.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

🚨BREAKING: The House has passed the Ukraine Support Act, 226-195, to provide new military aid to Ukraine and impose tougher sanctions on Russia.

The bill advanced through a discharge petition despite Speaker Mike Johnson's efforts to block a vote.

18 Republicans and former Republican Kevin Kiley broke with leadership to vote for it.

I'm afraid that this is why the US administration wants to shut down ocean observations: they don't want the people to know what is happening in our oceans, as it does not fit their ideology and the interests of their fossil fuel industry funders.

🚨 TERRIFYING: The Trump administration openly admits to a massive government purge. Top officials confirm a new executive order designed to systematically fire any federal workers who resist their extreme agenda.

Washington is actively destroying all institutional oversight!

🇺🇸🤡 The Retreat of the weakest Superpower in history.

Putin did not defeat the United States militarily. He did not need to. He simply looked Trump in the eye, and Trump tucked his tail and trotted home.

On June 3rd, U.S. European Command confirmed it. A third of America’s fighter jets assigned to NATO, gone. Half its strategic bombers, gone. Submarine commitments, eliminated entirely. The Financial Times reported the cuts were more sweeping than anyone had expected.

European capitals are not panicking. They are seething. The reaction across the continent is not fear, it is contempt. Cold, quiet, lasting contempt for a man they have watched perform weakness for years and are now watching formalise it in writing. Europeans despise weakness. They have a long memory for it. And they will not forget this.

Trump is described across Europe, by serious people in serious rooms, as the most cowardly president America has ever produced. Not dangerous. Not unpredictable. Cowardly. A man who mistakes grovelling for diplomacy and calls it a deal. In Warsaw, Tallinn, Paris and Berlin the verdict is the same: America turned out to be considerably smaller than advertised. The paper tiger accusation Washington spent decades throwing at its rivals has come home. It fits perfectly.

Russia and China are not hiding their amusement. Putin did not fire a shot. He just needed Trump to perceive strength and respond the way Trump always responds to strength: with immediate, grateful submission.

American generals and admirals are furious and humiliated. Officers who spent careers building the structures that kept the peace are watching it get packed into boxes by a man who flinches when Putin clears his throat. The word used in private, repeatedly, is embarrassing.

Every soldier, sailor and general in the United States Armed Forces knows exactly what has happened here. They just cannot say it out loud. Because the man who gave the order is still in the building.

Trump gave him a full pardon.

Trump’s budget director Russ Vought is the most dangerous person you’ve never heard of.

And he just proposed turning every federal grant into a loyalty test.

His plan would make funding for cancer research, housing, transportation, and public health depend on one thing: whether it “advances the President’s policy priorities.”

Not whether it works.

Not whether Congress authorized it.

Whether it pleases Trump.

This is the appropriations power. It belongs to Congress and to the people.
To my Republican colleagues: where are you?

Congress passed this funding. You voted for it.

Vought is telling you to your faces that your votes do not matter, that he and his enablers will override the law whenever it suits them. Every day you stay silent, you give away the institution you were elected to defend.

Grow a spine.

This is not about left or right.

It is about whether Congress still exists as a coequal branch, or whether we have quietly surrendered the purse to an unelected hack who holds the Constitution in contempt.

History will remember who stood up and who looked away.

Ukrainian forces not only blockading Russia's military and logistics from Crimea and the southern corridor, but now beginning to do the same in Donetsk, preventing supplies entering from the east.

This is brilliant.

Holy shit, this sick old man can't even keep himself upright, seated in the Oval Office.

He's practically sideways. How TF is this not a bigger story?

President Trump just repeated his lie that China only builds windmills to export them to "stupid people from the United States, the suckers."

Reality: China has installed by far the most wind turbines of any country and is installing more of them far faster than any other country.
