RFK Jr and his cronies refuse to take a question about screwworm during a press conference

Potential oil crisis is an understatement

[World Cup 2026 Daily @TotalFootball]

The Senegalese 🇸🇳 delegation gets this treatment on arrival in the USA. Full tarmac searches, shoes off, bags turned inside out like criminals.

This is straight up humiliation and a disgrace. They’d never put white boys through the same.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Here's the Republican Party's own ad attacking @KenPaxtonTX's record on crime that they also no longer want you to see.

For the El*n dick riders leaving stupid comments (a few of which I had to block) on my original post below. 👇🏼

Donald Trump’s son-in-law used his position to hop in bed with autocrats—and sell out America. Here's how: https://t.co/IgFDFYO1PQ

The Ottoman Empire governed Palestine peacefully for 400 years, granting autonomy to religious communities to run their own courts with harmonious coexistence between Muslims, Christians & Jews. You’ve brought death & destruction to Palestinians & now Lebanon in 70 years.

In a two-way race in 2024, Donald Trump got 26.5% of the vote in City of Los Angeles. In a three-way race in 2026, Spencer Pratt has 26.7% of the vote. I'm not sure what the mystery is that demands a conspiratorial explanation.

[Matt Royer @royermattw]

Todd Gilbert, the former Republican Speaker of the Virginia House, took a U.S. Attorney job from Trump and quit 37 days later. His only public comment was a "boy, that escalated quickly" meme.

Today, we learned why. He wouldn't manufacture the charges. Genuine courage, and rarer in his party than it should be.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

The US job market is still showing signs of weakness under the surface:

Full-time employment fell -79,000 in May, to 134.17 million, the lowest since December 2024.

This marks the 2nd consecutive monthly decline and the 4th over the last 5 months, totaling -1.04 million.

Full-time employment is also now below the levels seen in March-June 2023.

As a % of total employment, this metric is down to 82.4%, in-line with the 2020 pandemic low.

By comparison, the 2022 peak and pre-Financial Crisis peak were 83.8% and 83.2%, respectively.

The US labor market is weaker than the headline numbers suggest.

HOLY SHIT 🇩🇪🚨

A woman in Germany says “Free Palestine.” Police swarm, cover her mouth, drag her down like a beast.

That slogan is now banned in Germany because it’s considered antisemitic.

If you say it, the state silences you by force.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

“The IDF, a U.S.-backed genocidal group that controls much of Palestine, declare a ban on humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip”

Why don’t you post that?

I can’t keep up - is the issue that he’s gay or he sleeps with too many attractive women?

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

If this theoretical fighting between Trump and Netanyahu is all fake, including @axios reporting and neocons pretending to be upset, no one will ever trust US in negotiations again. And we’ll know everyone in power is conspiring to deceive us on behalf of Israel and more war.

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

JUST IN: Jensen Huang is a juggling conman.

The AI bubble is already bigger than dotcom.

When you add Space, OpenAI, and Anthropic you pile ANOTHER DOTCOM ON TOP.

There is no revenue model. Hyperscalers are money furnaces.
Ken Lay & Jeff Skilling are jealous of Jensen’s game.

[David Kass @DrDavidKass]

Steve Eisman on CNBC: SpaceX is overvalued, its S-1 reads like a science fiction novel, the total addressable market of $28 trillion is 85% AI which is capital intensive and a commodity item. Tesla's earnings have been declining for the past 4 years. SpaceX should not buy Tesla but it probably will.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

Israel stole almost all our top secrets, our nuclear secrets, our nuclear triggers and over 300 pounds of uranium. If anyone else, like Iran, did that, we would have nuked them and the press would have called them our greatest enemy.

Instead our media pretended that was normal and Israel is our best ally. That’s so weird that it’s inexplicable, unless you’re not doing the news, you’re doing propaganda for Israel to cover up their crimes against this country.

Don jr watching his father attend the nba finals after skipping his wedding because he was “too busy”.
He's not just a shitty president, he's a shitty father too.

[Joe Wrote @joewrote]

The political class isn’t attacking Graham Platner, the man — they’re attacking a critic of genocide and oligarchy.

Those who seek to change the American status quo should defend Platner. Even if we dislike him. Because those attacking him will soon be attacking us.

An entire industry is being propped up by math that is literally insane.
