[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.

A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”

That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.

I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.

Trump is paying himself a 2.5% general contractor's fee on his 400 million dollar
ballroom.
That's 10 million dollars.
When will MAGA stop making excuses for his corruption?

[Eylon Levy @EylonALevy]

The sheer scale of rocket fire against Israel from seven fronts in the last three years is insane.

[Aaron David Miller @aarondmiller2]

The box Trump put himself in is remarkable. Focus of the war was to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons has now devolved into a single focus on reopening Straits free and unfettered before war began. Try to explain that to a family paying more for gas and groceries.

[NoelCaslerComedy @caslernoel]

What Trump has done to our Canadian friends & neighbors regarding the Gordie Howe bridge is f’n shameful mob boss BS. They paid over 6 billion to build it, we had agreed all along w/plan & then he demanded 50% of the tolls & co-ownership to allow it to open. Boycott US goods CA.

[Daniel Goldman @danielsgoldman]

Every American — regardless of political party — should be horrified at yet another blatant effort by President Trump to eradicate every safeguard of free and fair elections.

If Republicans remain silent in the face of his obvious attempts to rig the election, they are complicit in allowing our democracy to crumble.

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

Morocco just Globalized the Intifada because they lost a football match. Islamists don’t really even need an excuse anymore. Their focus is simply on destruction and burning down the West. And the West allowed it.

Europe will burn at the hands of the Islamists, and Europe itself gave them the match to set it alight.

[UNITED24 @U24_gov_ua]

Ukrainian defenders spotted a damaged vehicle on the road Druzhkivka near Donetsk, with brothers-in-arms trapped inside under russian fire.

Every minute could have been their last.
But they did not leave their own behind.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

😳 Trump just flubbed his way through his meeting with Zelenskyy, at various points referring to the "Islamic Republic of Japan," repeatedly calling Zelenskyy "President Putin," and railing against the "JCPOC"

Here's the blooper reel:

[Throwback Iran @Tarikh_Eran]

I kept silent throughout these months out of respect for Iranians inside of Iran, but enough.

This man and his administration are now just disrespecting our intelligence.

Whatever this administration decides to do moving forward, keep us (Iranian people) out of your bullsh*t games because we are fed up.

Go strike power plants, military bases, occupy kharg…but dont for a second tell us it’s for the “40,000” Iranians or helping us liberate ourselves.

Youre striking them because you are running out of ideas on how to make IRGC submit and surrender.

You used our struggle, desperation and righteous goal of revolution in January as a billboard ad for your strikes on Iran only to later tell us the goal was never “regime change” on multiple occasions.

We have our own path towards freedom, separate from this bipolar backstabbing administration.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran says it will fully close the Strait of Hormuz to all maritime traffic as soon as the US attacks again and has now adopted a new military and strategic doctrine over the past 48 hours, per PressTV.

Trump has already said the US will strike Iran again tonight, meaning the Strait will be closed in the coming hours.

Iran says it will also strike US and other enemy targets at a ratio of at least two to one, for every Iranian target hit, at least two US targets will be struck in return.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

NATO is a defensive alliance. We did not help our NATO allies when they were fighting their wars against national liberation movements (i.e. in Algeria, Angola, etc). We didn't come to the aid of our allies during the 1956 Suez crisis.

The one time NATO acted collectively was in defense of the US after we were attacked on 9/11/2001.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

American taxpayers/voters really deserve an explanation for why the expansion of PAC3 lines by @LockheedMartin has been so slow. Who is at fault? The White House? The Pentagon? The company? Biden? Trump? I wish one of our great investigative journalists would dig into this story.

[Bill Clinton @BillClinton]

Happy 80th birthday to my friend George W. Bush!

Your friendship—and that of your father and your entire family—has been one of the great gifts of my life. It has always reminded me that long before we’re politicians, we’re fellow Americans and, above all, human beings.

And for the next month, I’m especially grateful to finally have someone older than me! Wishing you many more years of good health, happiness, and friendship.

Our country is stronger when we remember that what unites us is greater than what divides us.

[Kateryna Lisunova @KaterynaLis]

‼️ZELENSKYY: It’s just nonsense that, in today’s world, production hasn’t been scaled to the level needed to protect people from ballistic terror. Ukraine can manufacture it; it just needs a license from the U.S.

“We've shown all our partners both the necessity and, importantly, the possibility of providing greater protection for life. It's just nonsense that in today's world, production hasn't been set up to the extent actually needed to protect people from ballistic terror. We've been calling for a while and proven that we can produce, especially such a range of defensive weapons. If Ukraine got licenses from America to produce the Patriot, our production would be enough to protect Ukraine and help partners in need” - Ukrainian President on Monday, July 6, 2026.

[Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien]

Last night Ukraine could not intercept a single Russian ballistic missile. The USA deliberately starving Ukraine of Patriot missiles is now clearly understood by the Russians as American support for their terror bombing. The USA is helping Putin kill Ukrainians.

[Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe]

The irony of Trump calling FIFA to overturn
a red card for Balogun because he knows the U.S. can’t win without Balogun, who only qualifies for the U.S. team because of birthright citizenship, which Trump just tried to overturn.

[The Intellectualist @highbrow_nobrow]

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

For the second day in a row, everyone has been laughing at this video.

Yesterday, Putin, dressed in military uniform, allegedly made a rare visit to the front line, to one of the auxiliary command posts. In reality, it was a film set inside a bunker. As we can see, they have a lot of props in that bunker:

😅 A camouflage net was hung inside the building.
😅 The flooring, lighting, and acoustics all look like those of a studio.

I wonder how many times they rehearsed it?

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees that if EVEN FOX NEWS and Megyn Kelly are calling out trump's corruption, it's really, really bad.

They're not even hiding it.

MAGA can STFU about the Bidens FOREVER.
Nobody is more corrupt than trump.
