Remarkable camera angle of President Trump as he listens to Wall Street Journal reporters receiving an award for their investigation into Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — which they pursued despite Trump’s threats and lawsuit.

is there a pulitzer for photo captions because if so @theguardian.com just won it

We watched Trump's dangerous and deranged speech so you don't have to. Here are the moments you need to know about:

Tuberville voted in Florida after tax records say he moved back to Alabama www.al.com/news/2026/06...

Tuberville voted in Florida after tax records say he moved to Alabama

Tuberville claimed Alabama residency in August 2018. He and his wife voted in Florida three months later.

Tuberville: "We probably have four or five senators that didn't legally win. They shouldn't be up here."

Trump's declassified election intelligence pretty clearly shows that China *could have,* but didn't, meddle in the 2020 election to help Biden win. But that Russia *did* meddle to help Trump win.

This speech is quite literally an impeachable offense. The President is trying to undermine faith in US elections and to delegitimize the elections of public officials.

The only thing Trump’s document dump proved tonight was that there was Russian collusion. That’s fucking hilarious to me.

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.

The federal immigration agent who shot and killed a 26-year-old Colombian man in Biddeford has been identified as David Michael Brouillette. Brouillette, who is 37 and lives in Manchester, was identified by an ex-wife as the ICE agent who shot Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero.

He should have gone to prison for pressuring Brad Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes. That’s the very definition of election interference. We all heard the call.

I've lived in Beijing, and the thing is - they don't have elections.

Newsmax talking head: "I've lived in Beijing. I can say the elections in Beijing are much better than California and the United States."

The same folks who are *obsessed* with banning gender affirming care in civilian life are going to provide gender affirming care in the military. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

HASSAN: If RFK ordered you to stop promoting flu vaccine during a deadly flu season, would you? S: We have to prioritize-- HASSAN: This isn't a hypothetical. RFK Jr in the middle of a deadly outbreak directed the CDC to do it. So would you? S: I don't speak in hypotheticals-- H: It happened!

SCHIFF: The president was convicted in a case you represented him in of falsifying business records for tax purposes. Does this settlement not absolve him of any liability for tax crimes associated with what he's been convicted of? BLANCHE: He can't be audited for that SCHIFF: Of course he can be

Isn't it weird that this week a currently sitting president had to pay a woman MILLIONS of dollars for *raping* (and defaming) her—and the media has forgotten all about it? There was a time that this would have been the ONLY story—until the rapist was driving from office.

I completely understand 1930-40s Germany now.

HASSAN: If the president instructs you to break the law, will you follow the president's instruction? SCHWARTZ: The president would never ask me to not follow the law HASSAN: There are multiple examples of the president instructing people to break the law, so it's not a satisfactory response

It's a sign of how shockingly corrupt this country has become that a nominee for Attorney General is given a hearing by the Senate *the very same week* he has been referred by a judge for possible disbarment for unethical behavior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

FOUND SOME FRAUD: JD VANCE IS USING MARINE HELICOPTERS TO TAKE HIS SON TO A FUCKING GOLF LESSON.

We all know this still stinks to high heaven. Gov. Andy Beshear says he still hasn’t received an official update from Sen. Mitch McConnell. “I’ve had no official response. Nothing sent to our office, no letter, no email.”

This Administration is engaged in the largest criminal cover-up in American history.   Todd Blanche cannot serve as AG. Full stop.

If the head of US intelligence isn't able to say who won the election in 2020, then maybe he shouldn't be head of US intelligence.

OSSOFF: Who won the 2020 election? CLAYTON: Uhm, you know, I'm not going to do this with you O: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee. Who won the 2020 election? C: I'm not gonna get into that with you O: You're not being honest or forthright C: ...

Ossoff: "I think it's time for the president to do something of value for the American people instead of lining his pockets while he's in office"

Schiff: The judge, in that decision on Monday, referred Blanche, basically, to the New York Bar Association because of his conduct. How is it possible that after being referred to the bar association for potential discipline on Monday, we’re contemplating this guy for attorney general on Wednesday?

The MAGA plot to subvert the 2026 midterm elections is coming into focus. 1. Declassify docs to claim 2020 was stolen. 2. Declare a "national emergency" to seize control of the election apparatus. 3. Hope the "national security" predicate keeps courts out. www.mediamatters.org/voter-fraud-...

MAGA media's laughable propaganda about Trump's popularity is instrumental to the plot to subvert elections

it's even dumber than you think

WHOA DHS does not say that the agent feared for his life… just the vague concern for “public safety.” So he killed him just because he did not want him in America, not because of any specific threat to agents?

No hell too hot. www.sunjournal.com/2026/07/13/i...

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
