Nothing shows the sad state of the CFPB better than its recent declaration that “everything is OK at @BiltRewards” without confidential supervision or public enforcement.

BREAKING: California Gov. Gavin Newsom says Trump's Justice Department is investigating him and his wife over unspecified claims. apnews.com/article/newsom…
This one time at a US District Court, prosecutors falsely alleged that independent journalist Georgia Fort was chanting "ICE Out" at a Cities Church protest. Fort's legal team is fighting for grand jury transcripts. Trump's DOJ hates subpoenas but loves warrants.
At least 12 U.S. Attorney picks over the last 18 months had no federal prosecutorial experience. Trump’s decision to prioritize loyalty over experience is leading to judicial reprimands, misconduct findings, and cases thrown out of court.

The U.S. is reportedly agreeing to a deal (for the 50th time) that they'll withdrawal from the Iran war. But the war between Israel and Iran still continue.
BIG: Israel's Defense Minister Katz says the IDF will not withdraw from security zones in Lebanon, Syria, or Gaza despite the US-Iran ceasefire deal.
Netanyahu made this clear directly to Trump.
Katz says the security zones will be cleared of local residents and all terror
"Eric Deters supplied investigators with patient information while launching lawsuits against one of the doctors, according to records and interviews," Cincinnati Enquire's @Quinlan_Bentley writes. 🔗👇
emptywheel.net/2026/06/13/fla… The leading law enforcement prosecutor in the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, Harmeet Dhillon, made a fuss over Turning Point USA's fight at the Whipple calling it an attack on journalism. Her prosecutors seem okay with misleading claims about Georgia Fort.
Anything that matches the 2015 JCPOA would be better than what we have right now. Which is what the Iranians agreed to in Oman before the U.S. and most importantly Israel bombed Iran in February.
Usually when Iran does a "performative" strike they inform their adversaries first. Example Iran warned the U.S they would 'retaliate' after a U.S. drone strike killed Qasem Soleimani. That wasn't the case when the IRGC bombed the Arab gulf states.
Tehran signals that it is going to strike Israel for having violated Iran's red line by striking Beirut.
The question is whether the strike will be more performative because of potential concessions Trump will offer Iran to refrain from a full response.
