Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal. Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan. All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention. The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean. And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them. Record-breaking temperatures. A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse. The response? Yank out the instruments and walk away. That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency. For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives. The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident. That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first. cnn.com/2026/06/03/cli…

Trump "blinked" for a long time during Pete Hegseth's Memorial Day speech

Lt. General Russell Honore testified before the Louisiana Legislature, asserting that the recent SCOTUS decision can be corrected by the State legislature if it chooses to do so. He is a hero admired by many. #DemsUnited

Q: "To what extent are American's financial situation motivating you to make a deal [with Iran]?" Trump: "Not even a little bit…I don't think about Americans' financial situation, I don't think about anybody."

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “I should tell you, in Tennessee, a big slice of Black residents in Memphis will now have their votes folded into a White county called Williamson County. Williamson County literally STILL HAS a confederate flag on their county seal, but they’ll have just the right size of a slice of Black voters from Memphis to make sure they can never, with their other Memphis residents, elect a member of Congress of their choosing. There’s a reason why people are calling this Jim Crow 2.0. This REALLY IS plainly an effort to drag us back to the the post reconstruction era after the civil war…”😳

Who agrees ? Yes or No 👇👇👇

Q: “To African-Americans concerned this is going to draw Black members of congress off the map, what do you say?” TRUMP: “I think it's been a wonderful process.”

🚨WTF. This is a MAJOR blunder. While answering questions from reporters, Trump says “he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situations.” This clip is single handedly the greatest gift that could possibly be handed to Midterm Democrats.

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT. He knows his time is running out. So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour. He died 5 months later. This is that lecture. The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇 Bookmark it for later

MAGA found 34,000 dead people on voter rolls and screamed FRAUD. What they didn’t tell you: ZERO of them voted. Dead registrations ≠ dead people voting. This is a known manipulation tactic-give you a scary number, hide the part that proves nothing happened. Don’t be played.

The truth laid bare!

This video aged like fine wine.

Look at their faces. What do you see? I wanted to look them in the eye and say, on the record, that they are attempting to reconstruct this government to undo Black progress. Their targeting of @calvin4clerk is rooted in that reality, and it needed to be called out plainly. I showed up speaking for myself. No organization in Louisiana sent me. No party asked me to come. I say that to make clear much of this work is being done independently, without formal partnerships, and without the budgets, staff, or institutional backing many established organizations have. I came because what they are doing is wrong. The court reconstruction happening in New Orleans has been done in different ways already in Baton Rouge and across this state—especially in the largest, Blackest cities—to dilute Black political power. I started Civics for the People because I know many of us don’t know what is happening inside government or how these systems are used. It’s my way of teaching the game and helping our people move with knowledge. Their elections are in 2027. We can send them home to frown and chew grass much gum as they please. If you believe this work matters, support Civics for the People at the link in my bio so I can teach the people and send some on these people home. Share if you care 🦾

@AntiTrumpCanada Well ATC, it's a living nightmare here in America. This is not the America I grew up in,now it's a disgusting reminder of people that value money and power over everything! The blind loyalty that trump followers have even though it causes them hardships is truly sickening! 💀

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson didn't invoke Weimar Germany as a rhetorical flourish. She cited a specific scholar by name in a footnote: Ernst Fraenkel, a Jewish labor lawyer who observed the Nazi legal system from the inside, smuggled his manuscript out of Berlin in 1938, and published "The Dual State" at the University of Chicago in 1941. Fraenkel's framework is precise. The Nazis didn't immediately collapse Germany's legal system. They left courts functioning - particularly in contracts and economic matters - while placing Jews and political enemies in a separate lawless zone where no legal protection applied. Most Germans lived in the law-bound "normative state." The targeted lived in the "prerogative state." The facade of normalcy was the mechanism of control. Jackson invoked Fraenkel to name what the court's Republican majority is doing in real time. In 21 consecutive shadow docket cases, the six conservative justices have let Trump opt out of the law - often with no explanation given at all. They blessed ICE racial profiling without citing a single legal justification. They allowed Trump to ignore $4 billion in congressionally appropriated foreign aid. They stripped lower courts of the ability to issue universal relief, meaning only those with resources to file individual lawsuits get protection from illegal presidential action. Constitutional law professor Evan Bernick put it plainly: "The court is adjusting the law to make place for arbitrary power." Jackson's dissent is not hyperbole. A footnote citing a 1941 manuscript about Nazi legal architecture is a Supreme Court justice blowing the cover on what her colleagues are building.

HORRIFIC: 31-year-old viral influencer Ashlee Jenae was found dead in her Tanzania hotel room after her white husband, Jon McCann, allegedly strangled her then hung her lifeless body to stage a suicide. This cold-blooded monster allegedly murdered her right after proposing on her birthday during their luxury vacation. He then kept posting on social media like nothing happened while Ashlee had him plastered all over her Instagram and he never once acknowledged her on his. Her parents only found out through passport emergency contacts. You propose to a woman on her birthday trip, then strangle her and stage her murder as a suicide the same week? Pure evil. Jon McCann has allegedly been arrested pending charges.
