At the G7, a disoriented Trump begins wandering off until Macron raises his voice to get his attention — and then points him in the right direction. Trump looks bloated, miserable, unsteady, and sickly. The look in his eyes is one of total confusion.

🧵 BREAKING: The DOJ's arguments are unhelpful and untimely. At least that’s what a federal court said in denying the department’s statement of interest to defend Ohio’s documentary proof of citizenship law. Statements of interest from the DOJ are typically granted by federal courts. More below👇

DOE Sec. Chris Wright said that his agency did not aim to punish states that Trump lost the 2024 election in when it canceled clean energy projects in them. BUT his lawyers said otherwise—causing a judge to order the grants be restored. washingtonpost.com/business/2026/…

ICE throw tear gas canisters at the feet of U.S. citizens protesting—at point blank range. Agents shoot industrial strength pepper spray—directly into eyes of protesters. At least 7 people injured & needed medical assistance. 1 woman had to be rushed to hospital by ambulance due to "seizure like uncontrollable shaking"—after being "completely covered" in orange dyed chemical spray. Demonstrators were protesting the federal indictment of 15 Minnesota anti-ICE activists. Incident occurred outside the Warren E. Burger Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in St. Paul, Minnesota. This video footage was not available on this platform—so posting here to help their efforts to raise awareness.

Trump looked into the camera and said of the ballroom, “This is taxpayer-free. We have no taxpayer putting up 10 cents.” Three weeks earlier, his own contractor had already put it in writing. The ballroom would cost $600 million, with half of it from you, the taxpayer. Trump knew. He said it anyway. This administration has no problem shortchanging Medicaid or food for kids. But $300 million for a ballroom and a private bunker? Found that money instantly. I am an appropriator. I see the budget. This was never about what we can afford. It is about who they choose to spend it on. I will fight this in every hearing, every markup, every vote, until the last dime is accounted for. Most of my Republican colleagues are silent while the public is robbed in broad daylight. Where in the hell are they? wapo.st/4vOuwPD

Trump believes he has the power to weaponize the U.S. Postal Service to restrict voting. Marc Elias and his law firm are already challenging that notion in court. “[The Trump administration has] come up with a scheme that is so unbelievably unconstitutional and authoritarian.”

BREAKING, re: Kennedy Center: Judge orders Trump administration to explain by Friday its construction plans (the tarp is still up) and what it is doing to ensure that programming continues after July 5.

Q: The cost of the ballroom is now $600M. Taxpayers could be on the hook for half of that. Are you comfortable with your constituents paying for that project? Republican Majority Leader Thune: I'll withhold judgment on that

A federal judge Tuesday rejected the Trump Justice Department’s attempt to defend Ohio’s restrictive new voting law, finding its proposed filing redundant, disconnected and too late to help the court ahead of a major hearing next week. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/tr…

Markwayne Mullin had the FDA delete warnings about the dangers of kratom, an addictive and sometimes lethal drug found in gas stations. Mullin holds an up to $1 million stake in a major kratom company.

VAN HOLLEN: Are you aware the IRS, FEMA, NWS, GSA warned their services were at risk due to staffing shortages? DUNCAN: Everything we do is to be efficient. VAN HOLLEN: You rehired 25,000 fired federal workers, do you know what that cost? $12 MILLION. Doesn't sound efficient.

Republicans are holding the Major Richard Star Act hostage while they propose devastating cuts to veterans’ disability benefits. We need a vote on my legislation to ensure combat-injured veterans receive the benefits they have earned.

#BREAKING: NYC Mayor: “…I’ve said to the president DIRECTLY that I believe that ICE raids are cruel and they do nothing to serve in the interests of public safety, and I do believe it’s a ROGUE agency that should be ABOLISHED because we need an approach to immigration in this country that has more humanity at the heart of it…”😳

🚨BREAKING: Georgia Republicans nominate Mike Collins for US Senate. Collins has a long history of bigotry and deep political corruption, and is currently the subject of a House Ethics investigation. This is who they chose to take on Jon Ossoff? Georgia deserves so much better.

On Sunday, June 14, 2026, officers from the Senatobia Police Department and the Tate County Sheriff’s Department responded to a shoplifting call at a Walmart in Senatobia, Mississippi. An officer opened fire into a vehicle carrying two adult women and 1-year-old Kohen Kartier Wiley. The alleged stolen merchandise was diapers. Authorities have stated the vehicle drove toward officers before shots were fired. Witnesses at the scene have stated the vehicle was driving away from officers at the time of the shooting. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation has since taken over the case. No officer has been publicly identified. No body camera footage has been released. Kohen was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. His aunt remains hospitalized in critical condition. A police officer fired into a vehicle that contained a baby. In no case, under no circumstances, does stolen merchandise ever equal a life lost — especially one as innocent as a 1-year-old child. Rest easy, Kohen Kartier Wiley. 🕊️ 🎥: @wreg3

This ocean observatory program is authorized, it’s funded, and for the administration to shut it down without direction from Congress is supreme stupidity and a violation of the fundamental separation of powers in our Constitution. apnews.com/article/ocean-…
