Sec Hegseth fires four star US Army General CD Donahue commanding US Army Europe. Donahue clearly the most extraordinary combat leader in a generation. Brilliant. Fearless. Bold. Integrity. Incredible leader.

Pete Hegseth fired a Navy Vice Admiral to make her disappear, and yesterday the voters of South Carolina handed her a path to a seat in Congress. Her name is Nancy Lacore.

Woman impacted by MAGA abortion bans: I noticed my Texas Senators are not present, so thank you for listening. I found out I was pregnant in July of 2021. We found out that our baby had a lethal genetic diagnosis. We were told that he would suffocate at his first breath. That diagnosis came 25 days after Texas's abortion ban went into effect. Because of that timing, my doctor was silenced. That ban turned every Texan into a potential bounty hunter. Any private citizen could sue anyone who aided and abetted an abortion. That resulted in an appointment where I was told that my baby was going to die, and my doctor could not give me the dignity of explaining all of my options.

Let me be really clear about what just happened. The head of the U.S. Postal Service sat in front of the United States Senate and said the quiet part loud: no voter list, no mail ballots. Full stop. You don’t get to look away from this one. This is a proposed rule. It’s being fought in court. But the fact that it was said — that a federal official openly threatened to withhold your ballot — that matters. Your vote is yours. Not the administration’s. Not USPS’s. Yours. Stay informed. Stay loud.

One billionaire family controls the bridge that carries 25% of all U.S.–Canada trade. The good news? There's a brand new public bridge right next door (and Canada paid for the whole thing). The bad news? Donald Trump won't let it open. Here's the story: For more than a decade, Michigan and Canada worked together to build a new public crossing right next to it — six lanes over the Detroit River, named for a Canadian-born Red Wings legend, built by thousands of union workers. Canada paid the entire bill. Michigan co-owns it. It's finished. It’s a shining example of international cooperation and collaboration, with a tremendous return for both sides: more jobs, faster trade, and lower costs. So why isn't it open? Because the Moroun family, who own the rival Ambassador Bridge just up the river, doesn’t want the competition. They spent years and tens of millions of dollars trying to stop any competing international crossing from being built or opening. They lost. So they went to the White House instead. In January, Matthew Moroun gave $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. Then the billionaire called Trump's Commerce Secretary and, just hours later, Trump suddenly attacked the same publicly owned bridge he praised in his own first term and threatened to block it. Then, the day before the June 12th ribbon-cutting, the opening was called off indefinitely. It's corruption so flagrant it would be laughable if it weren't so damaging. Trump is screwing over Michiganders for the interests of billionaires — holding a finished, publicly owned project hostage to protect one donor's toll booth. So a finished bridge sits closed, Michiganders keep paying the higher tolls, cars and trucks cost more, and a billionaire family keeps its monopoly. Mr. President: stop playing games. Open the damn bridge.

"Only very sick kids should die from measles" No, Secretary Kennedy NO child should die from measles. Because there's a vaccine to prevent it.

@washingtonpost How does one get charged with destruction of property when the property is already destroyed?

⚡️During his 2010–2012 overhaul of the National Mall, President Obama completely modernized the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Instead of wasting millions of gallons of potable city water, the project switched the pool's source to the nearby Potomac River Tidal Basin. To keep it clean, they installed a massive ozone water filtration and circulation system—essentially transforming how the iconic landmark handles water quality and sustainability. It's obvious Trump removed the filtration system Obama had installed, thus creating a dangerous, toxic pool of algae-ridden water that can make bystanders, pets, and wildlife very ill.

Oh. My. God.

@madrid_mike None, I repeat NONE of the Presidents in US history were unable to put a medal of honor on a soldier. What an embarrassment! Even more telling that no one had the courage to help him. They are all so scared of him that they would rather stand back & let this poor soldier suffer.

@madrid_mike Did that really happen or is it AI generated? I do hope it's AI generated, all you have to do is practice before the person gets there, this isn't that difficult and he's even done these before so how can he not remember how to secure a clasps?

This is an astonishing document. Not a single war aim has been achieved, but Iran receives enormous financial incentives, and even Hezbollah gets some benefits. What an absolute disaster. nytimes.com/2026/06/17/us/…

'One of the worst-written bills I’ve ever seen': Would GOP lawmakers' ballot referral designed to kill teachers' unions also take out police & fire? Police union leader thinks so, per @JimSmall. #HCR2040 azmirror.com/2026/06/16/ari…

The OCC is expected to approve the Trump family's application for a national bank trust charter, which would allow their crypto firm to operate like a bank. That could help the Trump family make even more money. It's an ethical outrage. notus.org/economy/trump-…

Elon Musk donated $277 million to elect Trump. Trump let him gut the IRS. Elon’s SpaceX took a $1.9 billion tax break that they believed wouldn’t be allowed if the IRS audited them. Your reminder that billionaire and corporate PAC donations are bribes. itep.org/elon-musk-spac…

@RnaudBertrand Macron didn't host a signing ceremony. He organized a history exam, and somehow Trump still didn't read the question.

@landpat33 @ForwardCarolina Why else other than for parties to track and solicit donations and for redistricting down to the household level? Redmapping? From the 1960s-2000s my mom registered with the party other than the one she voted for in the general, just to vote out the 🦇💩🤪s in the primaries.

On Friday evening, the Republican leaders of North Carolina's state legislature dropped a big, unannounced, 36-page omnibus bill stuffed to the brim with new voting restrictions and elections changes. This thing is a voter suppression wishlist. Just some of its major provisions: 👉 Total ban on encouraging voter turnout: State and county board members are prohibited from any public statement "encouraging or promoting voter turnout in any election" 👉 Grants the Republican State Auditor total discretion to audit all machines, county offices and personnel involved in any election 👉 Reduces campaign finance transparency: the bill significantly raises the dollar thresholds for required reporting of dark money contributions or media expenditures, waiving reporting for the rest 👉 Requires voters to register with a political party a full year before voting in that party's primary election (up from 90 days) 👉 Total ban on any ranked-choice voting in any primary or general election statewide 👉 Strips some overseas voters of their eligibility to vote in any state elections 👉 Partisan staffing: changes up to 25 professional staff at the State Board of Elections from career civil staff to partisan political appointees 👉 Bans paid petition gathering This bill just dropped last night and may not be online yet (they like to take their time). We got a full draft of the bill here: carolinaforward.org/images/hb-958-…

Hitler killed himself and Germany surrendered. Japan got nuked. Do they teach history in Ohio?

JD Vance: If you go back to WW2 or every major conflict in human history, they all ended with some kind of negotiation.
