With the Strait of Hormuz closed, Iraq has resorted to moving its oil across the desert to Syria in hundreds of tanker trucks, in true Mad Max style. From there, it will be shipped to worldwide markets.

#BREAKING: Over public dissents from Justices Thomas and Alito, #SCOTUS *denies* the Trump administration’s request for a stay in the mail-in ballots case. The USPS Rule will remain blocked—almost certainly through the midterms.

How much time do you think Trump has? Here he is at Dublin with a very noticeable face droop, multiple right arm twitches, and a more than usual confused look. Even Eric seems concerned at the first arm twitch.

Correct.
Meagan Day: I think the reason Republicans want to deflect from Trump's relationship with Natalie Harp is not that it looks bad if they're fucking, but because it's so obvious they're not. An affair would appear to virilize him. But she's basically his home care aide.

The Supreme Court's first opinion is Watson v. RNC. By a 5–4 vote, the Supreme Court UPHOLDS state laws that allow the counting of mail ballots that are sent by Election Day but arrive shortly thereafter. Roberts and Barrett join the liberals. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
JUSTICE BARRETT delivered the opinion of the Court.
Three federal statutes set the day for the election of Representatives, Senators, and the President. A Mississippi
law permits the counting of absentee ballots postmarked by
election day but received up to five days later. We must
decide whether the federal election-day statutes preempt
Mississippi’s law. They do not.

I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.
linuscatt · 1d ago
I worked at Smithsonian, specifically raising money for 250th. What I want people to know is we secured millions of private philanthropy to host a month long Folklife Festival on the mall, "The Festival of Festivals". Was going to feature well known festivals, think Burning Man, Farm Aid, Grand Ole Oprey etc. as well as smaller local and regional festivals from across the U.S. and territories. Goal was to feature truly the best and most beautiful creative expression in music, dance, arts and craft traditions, food, community etc. Can't name names but plan was to have headliners every night for free concerts.... Think the types of names who might be affiliated with the aforementioned large festivals. Stars were willing to perform because was under banner of Smithsonian. It had to all be scrapped bc the administration would not release permits to host on the mall. The money went elsewhere, but our nation was robbed of what would have been a once in a generation cultural moment.

My take on Supergirl is that I enjoyed it immensely and that it is better than a lot of the comic book movies and acrion movies that have come out in recent years. I won’t bother sharing any critiques I have of it because I don’t do that with other movies that I enjoy.

STAT News asked whether Trump is the single then-79 year old patient who got privileged access to an Eli Lilly obesity drug. No one would deny it. www.statnews.com/2026/06/23/e...
A senior clinician at the National Institutes of Health named Ranganath Muniyappa requested the drug to treat the patient for refractory obesity with obstructive sleep apnea and pulmonary hypertension, a severe version of the disease. Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the lungs, which can be life-threatening. 
STAT does not know who the patient is. But given the patient demographics and the unusual nature of the application, STAT asked the White House whether the patient was President Trump, who turned 80 a week ago, is overweight, and has expressed interest in obesity drugs.
White House spokesperson Kush Desai directed STAT’s inquiry to the Health and Human Services Department. In response to STAT’s question about whether Trump has obstructive sleep apnea and pulmonary hypertension, Desai said a White House memo detailing Trump’s most recent medical evaluation “covers this.” The memo makes no mention of obstructive sleep apnea or pulmonary hypertension.

BREAKING: Trump's lawyers in his BBC suit just told the court they didn't file their response to the BBC's motion to dismiss on June 5 when it was due b/c the protective order and the court's sealing rules were too complicated for them. But, they say they did get it to the BBC's lawyers on June 5.

A. Defendants' Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 36) Should Not be Considered Unopposed.
The Motion to Dismiss should not be considered unopposed. Plaintiff vigorously contests

Brito, PLLC
2121 Ponce De Leon Boulevard, Suite 650 | Coral Gables, Florida 33134
Telephone: (305) 614-4071
Case 1:25-cv-25894-RKA Document 73 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/09/2026 Page 4 of 8
Defendants' Motion to Dismiss and has prepared a comprehensive memorandum of law in
opposition, supported by documentary evidence and deposition testimony. A full, unredacted copy of that opposition memorandum, together with all supporting exhibits, was timely served on counsel for Defendants on June 5, 2026, the date the response was due. Defendants are therefore in possession of Plaintiff's complete opposition memorandum and have been since before the deadline. As set forth below, the delay in filing the opposition memorandum on the docket was caused by Plaintiff's good-faith efforts to comply with the Protective Order entered in this case
and the Court's procedures governing sealed filings, not by any intentional disregard for the
Court's deadlines.
