Here's the full chain of events that led to Trump storming out of his interview with Kristin Welker, beginning with her pressing him on the weaponization fund, continuing with her pointing out the baselessness of his "rigged election" lies, and concluding with him calling her "crooked or stupid" and leaving

Before I leave Ireland, I want to place on record that in the last 24 hours I have received constant stalking and death threats for my reporting. However I will not be intimidated.

What I have uncovered is deeply troubling, and the effort to silence it only makes that clearer.

This is a poor decision by the Department of not War, but Appeasement to Russia. We need some new civilian leaders in the Pentagon. We’ve been telling NATO countries to do more and then we pull rug out from underneath them when they try. https://t.co/bxVHqwQ76z

@Xenta777 Thank you for your kindness.

[Patrick Mead @patricklmead]

@MaFrt1 @RepDonBacon Is there anything worth fighting for @RepLaHood ? Do the brave people of UKR deserve our assistance? Should we protect Americans from Russia? Are we worth it?

24 hours ago I walked up and saw a tiny little girl in the worst possible state imaginable. She's only a tiny puppy and I first feared she was paralyzed. She was covered in thousands of little fleas, too weak to move, and we'd been alerted by locals who had heard her screaming alone at night.

I'm sorry. It's amazing the difference you can make in 24 hours, though, because since she's come into the hospital, she's been cleaned up, got all her medicines, and has got past that critical stage. Looking at her little clean body, it's easy to forget that she's just a tiny little young puppy who's been through so much.

The good news is her spine is not broken but she has suffered an injury in her leg, which has fused back together already because she's such a young puppy. So she will have a lifelong injury but there's a very good chance that she'll have good mobility and be able to walk around albeit with a slight disability.

Skye is her name and my reasoning was that it ... Represents the clear, open, and limitless horizon of her brand-new life. We also found her under a dark stormy sky where her life was set to end alone and in pain.

The recovery won't be easy and I've definitely cherry-picked the best bits for this video of her standing up on her first day but we'll give her all the support, medicines, and veterinary care that she needs to hopefully make a full recovery. Love you so much already little Skye ❤️

Please call your Congressman ASAP and ask them to vote Yes on the Ukraine Support Act tomorrow Wednesday, June 3.

This critical bill will provide over $1 billion in weapons and $8 billion in loans to our friend Ukraine and increase sanctions on our enemy Russia.

We are on Skid Row now and this psychopath has a kitten in a bag. We tried to plead with him to let the cat out so she could breathe and the guy said “do you know how much money I can make off this kitten? I have a breeding company”. The kitten will be dead by tomorrow.

why did dave rubin even choose to do this? he would’ve lost the debate to an empty chair. truly the dumbest the right has to offer

[Patrick Mead @patricklmead]

@PeterDiamandis However, I believe I can occupy a niche by ruthlessly focusing on cost, speed to market, and customer service. The underdog position isn't a consolation. It's clarifying.

[Patrick Mead @patricklmead]

@PeterDiamandis I'm building a startup, and I'm certain that smarter, more knowledgeable, better-funded people are already working on this — or soon will be.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Here's what the pork industry doesn't want you to know about the way it sneaked a provision into the 2026 farm bill that would nullify ballot measures that improve animal welfare, while helping Chinese companies torture American pigs. The issue is personal to me, because we once raised pigs on our family farm, and I saw that these are not commodities but animals rather like dogs: smart with very distinct personalities. A naughty boy who punishes a single animal may be punished, but an adult who presides over the systematic abuse of hundreds of thousands of pigs as a business model is hailed as a visionary CEO -- and voters get that, and that's why they have backed laws that improve animal wellbeing. This is, remarkably, an issue that unites many liberals and conservatives alike; @TomiLahren, @Cernovich and @IngrahamAngle are among those who have been outspoken on this issue. I hope R and D members of Congress alike will stand firm, for the stakes are immense, with four pigs slaughtered around the clock on average all year. Here's a gift link to my piece: https://t.co/NWQbJK6JTc I welcome your comments.

Let’s cut through the noise from Trump’s DHS. Here’s what I saw on the ground at Delaney Hall:

1️⃣ I met with the detainees at Delaney Hall who are on a hunger strike because the food is inedible. The hunger strike is a desperate effort to improve the deplorable conditions.

2️⃣ The medical unit is too small with inadequate staff. You shouldn’t be denied care because of your immigration status. That is cruel and unusual punishment—a violation of our constitution.

3️⃣ The bottom line is there are too many people crowded into too small of a facility at Delaney Hall. This private company is making a buck off denying detainees food and adequate medical care. We need to close this facility now.

I want you to hear straight from me about what happened at Delaney Hall on Monday and what I saw inside the facility.

ICE out of control. GEO Group profiting off of human misery. People living in inhumane conditions.

Let me walk you through it.

[Rep. Dan Goldman @RepDanGoldman]

The treatment of detainees inside Delaney Hall is appalling.

Lack of medical care. Insufficient and sometimes infested food. Overflowing sewage, overcrowding, no outdoor time, and blatant retaliation.

Nearly all of them have no criminal record and many are in this country lawfully, yet they are being held in conditions worse than criminal jail.

This is just un-American. They must be released now.

[Patrick Mead @patricklmead]

@samstein Girl, you know it's true.

ANOTHER boat strike.

Still not authorized by Congress.

Still not supported by most Americans.

Still happening.

The most important story in the world is STILL that Trump can do whatever he wants with the most powerful military the world has ever seen.

And nothing is stopping him.

And Cuba is likely next.🚨🇺🇸
