EU tells Trump: You can’t pardon Putin for war crimes in Ukraine

Any move to “wipe the slate clean” for Russia in a peace deal would be “a historic mistake of huge proportions.”

Virginia Giuffre’s brother: I think we were shocked by it—especially the use of the term “stolen.” Because she’s not an object. She’s a person. Someone who was recruited at Mar-a-Lago—his property… it just kind of makes us wonder… how much he knew

Just checked back in with his post on Epstein. I’ve been on Truth Social since day 1 and never seen anything like this. 40K replies, 99% negative towards Trump. The comments are just brutal. This isn’t going away.

This is the slippery slope

New reporting on use of federalized National Guard in what appears like DEA-led drug bust, no protesters in sight, far outside of LA

@lizagoitein.bsky.social has very sharp analysis on why this appears illegal on all counts (including Trump’s own presidential memorandum)
Trump’s Use of Federal Troops in Drug Raid Outside of Los Angeles: An Alarming Escalation
"An alarming escalation of the president's efforts to use the military as a domestic police force. Based on currently available information, it appears to be illegal, as well"

This is a sign of serious mental illness. No sane person would post this. It’s not Alzheimer’s. It’s manic, impulsive, egotistical, cruel, and shows a lack of empathy and insight to a degree that it would be labeled “disordered”
Trump posted a “Bomb Iran” music video with these lyrics:

“Went to a mosque. Gonna throw some rocks.”

“Time to turn Iran into a parking lot.”

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

There’s a mass shooting and Trump says to get over it.

The GOP strips away Medicaid and McConnell says we’ll get over it.

You know what? We won’t get over it.

It took 43 years to get an apology for what they did to the Japanese American community. But we got one.

We will persist. Count on it.

If any Democratic president used a military audience as partisan prop, Republicans would melt down. The press would melt down. It was considered unthinkable until Trump showed R's and the media that oligarchic rule was within their reach.

Evidence appeared that Russia is trying to diminish the number of aircraft destroyed/damaged during Operation #Spiderweb.

For example, on June 2, a damaged Tu-95 is visible on satellite images. On June 4, it is replaced with an intact one.
