Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Sean Hannity’s selection to lead coverage of the midterms convention is a clear signal that Fox plans to produce a GOP infomercial, and it is functionally equivalent to simply letting the Republican National Committee program the coverage. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

Fox News is treating the GOP's midterm convention as a very special episode of Hannity

One year ago, Trump signed his One Big Beautiful Bill that: –Stripped healthcare from 8 million Americans –Raised taxes on 95% of Americans –Kicked 2.5 million children off of food assistance All to give a tax cut to billionaires.
An image of Donald Trump and congressional Republicans at the signing ceremony of the One Big, Beautiful Bill. Trump is hammering down a gavel with a strained look on his face.

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting
Screenshot of the article's graphic, showing color swatches derived from the Earthcam archive, illustration the color of the reflecting pool calibrated against satellite imagery, from 8 June to 19 June 2026. I chose yesterday, 19 June, so it rendered the US American flag with a green hue instead of blue.
