In an unprecedented act of dissent, active-duty USAF Major Jason Watson was arrested on the Capitol steps after calling for the impeachment & removal of Donald Trump. Risking his career to uphold his constitutional oath, his arrest marks a historic moment. ✊🏻✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾✊🏽

The excuse for murdering 70,000 people in Gaza was “October 7”

What’s the excuse for the mass murder going on in Lebanon now? “Because we can”?

Trump wants to cut down Washington DC's oldest grove of cherry trees along the Mall and eliminate the public biking path and picnic areas so he can build a Trump golf course on public land, using public dollars, and taking spaces away from the public.

The Trump administration has approved the use of cancer-linked pesticides diflufenican and epyrifenacil, both PFAS forever chemicals.

Neither pesticide has ever been used in the United States before.

Nectarine farmer in California is giving away his entire 125,000 lbs of ripe nectarines to the public for free

He says Big Agriculture in California has made it impossible for him to harvest and sell his nectarines

You can go pick for free from June 29–July 3, at 21500 E. Parlier, Reedley, California. 7am-10am

What’s happening is a handful of large marketers and packers dominate, they are squeezing independent growers

Direct-to-retail attempts often get countered aggressively. The big companies severely undercut farmers like this to drive them out of business

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

The Trump administration just killed a federal program that hundreds of small farmers relied on to survive, and the damage is already landing.

The program paid farmers full market price for their crops, then routed that fresh food to food banks and the families who needed it. 

In California alone, it supported roughly 870 farms across more than 50 counties, moved 23 million pounds of food, and put over $60 million directly into local economies. For many, it was the most reliable buyer they had.

Then the White House pulled the plug, right as farmers were buying seeds for spring. Contracts already in motion were canceled mid-delivery. Three years of funding these growers had planned around vanished overnight.

Without those federal dollars, the future is more uncertain than ever for these farms and the millions of hungry families they feed. 

That is the pattern. Slash a program that feeds seniors and supports farmers, save almost nothing, and call it winning.

BREAKING:

Israel is dropping bombs on tents full of civilians in Khan Younis — in the middle of the night as families sleep.

There is no refuge left in Gaza.

[Daniel Mayakovski @DaniMayakovski]

Estas no son imágenes de Hiroshima del siglo pasado, es el sur del Líbano, donde el ejército genocida de "Israel" está haciendo desaparecer pueblos enteros, llenándolos de explosivos y volándolos por los aires.

No hay escándalo mediático en la prensa, "Israel" puede destruir pueblos enteros y ni siquiera lo hacen noticia.

Today Iran struck Kuwait and Bahrain, American allies. The Strait of Hormuz is in chaos.

Trump's response? A 600-word Truth Social rant about a golf course.

He's building himself a golf course on federal public land. With your tax dollars.

Through the Department of the Interior. Designed by his personal golf course architect.

He called it a gift to the American people.

The American people did not ask for a golf course. The American people asked for healthcare, lower prices, and a president who isn't wasting money on vanity projects.

This is the same man who:

- Cut food assistance for the poorest Americans
- Slashed VA funding for veterans
- Gutted rural hospitals
- Told working Americans there was no money for healthcare

But there is always, always, money for Trump.

He's building himself a legacy property on land you own, with money you earned, that he will brand, profit from, and call "America First."

This is what the ATM presidency looks like.

New research from @nytimes finds that the US government is actively doing "critical minerals" deals with FOURTEEN different companies that have financial ties to the Trump and/or Lutnick families - deals worth around $9 billion in all:

Wow.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) floor speech on Trump Admin. corruption has now received 1 million views

He opens the remarks by arguing that Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation

Meet Liav Goldstein, the man who oversees starvation and torture in Israeli concentration camps, according to a recent Haaretz exposé.

Make him famous.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.

The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.

Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.

The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.

Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.

The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.

The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.

This is your tax money.

It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.

We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

NEW: Trump openly admitted he asked a federal prosecutor to investigate California’s primaries after his preferred candidates fell behind — a blatant abuse of executive power.

Our democracy is being dismantled in plain sight, but that's not how national media is treating it, Marc Elias writes.

Imagine being Amy Coney Barrett and being the mother of two adopted children from Haiti and having to explain to them why she voted to terminate Temporary Protected Status for roughly 330,000 Haitian Nationals living and working in the United States.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

It's actually mind-boggling that @JDVance would say Watergate would be a "10 hour story" today.
Just to review, Nixon's aides authorized a break-in of the DNC HQ to install bugging equipment--in a caper foiled by a night watchman, who called police. They then enlisted the CIA to mislead the FBI that the break-in was related to a probe of malign foreign actors.
The entire operation was paid for by a slush fund controlled by the WH.
The WH also enlisted the IRS to probe hundreds of Nixon's political enemies.
The AG, the WH COS and several other top aides all were convicted and served time for their involvement in the crimes and coverup.
Nixon was caught on his own secret tape system conspiring with them but was pardoned a month after he resigned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
That Vance thinks this would be a "10 hour story" today speaks volumes about the moral and ethical degradation of the Trump era.
