NEW: Group of 100s of journalists release petition to urge DC’s journalists to take much stronger stand on Saturday at the White House Correspondents Association dinner
Dan Rather, Sam Donaldson, Jackie Judd are among the signers
(NOTE: I will *NOT* be attending that dinner)
Judge Hurson says DHS's planned conversion of a Maryland warehouse into an immigration detention facility ignored some basic environmental impacts — like how adding 100s of people to a place that currently has 4 toilets might impact the sewer system https://t.co/tLoNzfFVsd
"One thing is clear; Bondi’s failures were failures that Trump wanted and indeed demanded. If a minimally competent and principled attorney general is appointed during Trump’s term, it will be despite his furious efforts. That’s because one of the absolute core goals of his presidency is the perversion of justice and the destruction of the rule of law." https://t.co/lekQjC62f6
Trump, Musk and Rubio slashed aid and scoffed that it was woke nonsense. Now they're seeing that it not only saved one life every 10 seconds but also protected us from diseases like Ebola. Their actions constituted a security failure as well as a moral one.
More broadly, their fecklessness contrasts with the courage and humanity of doctors and aid workers in Congo and Uganda, lacking adequate PPE but still risking the virus to care for fellow humans.
Trump, Musk and Rubio might learn something from them. https://t.co/kPKj7fqJFZ
What is extremely disturbing is that not one reporter in that room had the guts to tell Trump that the Reflective Pool is simply a pool of water and isn't comparable to a building's height.
It's the most insane nonsense he drummed up AND HE PUT IT ON A BOARD to show everyone how DUMB he is.
The world looks on at the @POTUS demeaning himself in public like a clown. Sad.
I’m not sure why, but I don’t trust Todd Blanche’s word that the criminal slush fund is dead.
Let’s still get some legislation.
Let’s make Republicans vote on that.
Then see if Trump vetoes it.
The GOP corruption continues!
New reports show that Georgia Republican Brian Kemp spent 13 years unable to sell his lakefront properties.
After becoming governor, buyers suddenly appeared.
Those buyers reportedly had active business before the state and later received contracts, board seats, and legislative wins.
The Republican party is the party of corruption.
Georgia deserves a full investigation.
Congrats to Hunter Biden for reaching 7 years clean and sober.
This is commendable. Everyone who invaded his privacy, lied about him, and demonized hiim for 5+ years should be ashamed of themselves.

BREAKING: Top Exxon VP declares that America is RUNNING OUT OF OIL and it’s all Trump’s fault in warning that sky-high gas prices are just around the corner!
Congratulations, Trump. America is now *literally* running out of gas, according Exxon Valdez’s Senior Vice-President Neil Chapman, who spoke at the Bernstein Conference in New York and warned that crude oil prices could go as high as $160 as we scrape the bottom of the barrels.
"We're approaching unheard of inventory levels," he said. "I mean really, really low levels. You can debate whether that's going to hit those really low levels in two weeks or three weeks. Once you get to that point, then you'll see prices shoot up."
Prices have only risen a little bit so far thanks to Trump cashing in on our strategic oil reserves, but that’s about to end.
"Commercial inventories of crude oil, of liquids, think petroleum, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, they've all run down. And running down those inventories has mitigated or offset, supplemented by the release of strategic petroleum reserves, which most of the Western countries have done. All of that has mitigated the impact," Chapman explained.
After all is said and done, the U.S. will be left with roughly 300 million barrels of crude in oil reserves, the lowest level since the 1980s.
To make matters worse, since Chapman said all this, Iran has pulled out of negotiations with Trump over Israeli strikes on Beirut and kept the Strait of Hormuz closed, meaning there is no respite coming any time soon for the American people, who are already furious at Trump over high prices.
As he watches his approval rating breaking new records as it plummets towards 0, Trump can take comfort in the knowledge that this was all avoidable and 100% his fault.
In New York, 100,000 volunteers came together to elect Zohran as Mayor in our nation’s largest city.
In Maine, one of our most rural states, we can do the same thing and elect Troy Jackson as Governor and Graham Platner as Senator.
I am DEVASTATED.
Our beloved, beautiful cat Sunny, after just 2 years of age, passed away today after a thrombotic embolism, or a blood clot.
We found him in our backyard, tiny little thing, almost 2 years ago, and he leaves a giant hole in our family.
Broken hearted.💔😭
BREAKING: The US has attacked Iranian radar and telecommunication facilities, as Iran attacks Kuwait.
Meanwhile it appears that Trump is blaming Democrats.
Today is June 1, 2026 and Donald Trump is still illegally covering up and redacting millions of pages of the Epstein files.
He hopes we all forget.
Don’t let anyone forget!
Maybe if he hadn’t been telling us for 3 months that a surrender deal with Iran was imminent he wouldn’t have to post at 1:02 AM that he has no idea how to get out of this war while accomplishing anything meaningful.
The Trump presidency is only going to get even worse after the midterms.
He will have absolutely nothing to lose. He will go into self-preservation / self-enrichment mode.
If Republicans win the House, they will help protect him. If Democrats win the House, they will try and stop him.
What do you want?
Jon Ossoff is one of those rare politicians who is more impressive every time he speaks. He's such an effective communicator — and talks about the corruption of Trump & his administration like none other.
