The day after Max Miller referred himself for Ethics investigation, Politico reports his team edited Dropbox metadata, changing authorship from “Office of Rep. Max Miller—Legal Counsel” to personal lawyers. (Also suggests the nude photo of his toddler was posted by Miller’s *congressional office*)
It’s not just Iran contradicting Trump’s claims about negotiations — U.S. officials are contradicting him, too
After the official Iran war casualty database listed the four U.S. servicemembers recently killed in the Iran war, the Pentagon quietly removed their names and put them on a new list. That new list starts July 7, the day Trump notified Congress of a “new” conflict in Iran apnews.com/article/iran...
Too bad Massive Attack already released an Iran War single called “Boots on the Ground”
TRUMP: "Those great patriots are out there fighting that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon." RUBIO: "The only reason why the U.S. is conducting strikes is against assets of Iran that are being used to attack global commercial shipping."
The allegedly hundreds of thousands of noncitizens that the administration says it found were illegally registered to vote (no claims that even one of those people actually voted) are apparently all in red states
Todd Blanche’s 2025 ethics disclosure listed a “confidential client” in West Palm Beach who is currently “the subject of a pending grand jury proceeding or other non-public investigation.” The client is on his new disclosure too. What happened to that while he was deputy AG? Guess we’ll never know
Today in Iran War nonsense, Trump said the U.S. military will become the “guardians of the Strait” and collect fees for running Hormuz. Here are some other opinions he’s held about that over the last few months.
Not the position of Ryan, who has not similarly deleted his own post x.com/ryangrim/sta...
Let’s travel back in time to last month, when Trump was trying to sell us on the MOU, saying we “totally” destroyed Iran’s military, the MOU “probably is unconditional surrender,” more bombing — like what we’re doing right now! — won’t open Hormuz, and without the MOU we face “worldwide depression”
lol dude actually made the “well actually Constellis isn’t Blackwater” argument (and Drop Site happily swallowed it and came back for seconds). What progressive in the entire United States will tell you with a straight face that actually these are entirely different entities
Here’s what the @npr.org report says. This appears to be incorrect. Only the coordinated spending limits were lifted.
Deleted this post because the NPR report about the decision was wrong in saying it struck down limits on how much parties can raise from donors. The ruling only eliminated coordinated spending limits, the fundraising limits still appear in place: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
Rep. Tom Kean is back home but still ducking the press and sticking to his tell-all date of June 30, which happens to be the Q2 fundraising deadline www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/n...
The Iranians added that Trump must also take the SAT and lose 35 lbs
Trump signed a memorandum of understanding saying no more threats of attacks, now he’s threatening to destroy the country and possibly assassinate Iran’s diplomatic negotiators if they close the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israel violating the agreement
Has the MOU actually been signed, as the U.S. has claimed? Seems the Trump administration has been lying to the world about that, which is reckless and offensive and insane
Ending it on a high note, looking great, feeling strong and confident
High confidence that none of these allegedly normal pranks have ever happened to anyone
Trump’s name is off the Kennedy Center but I guess they’re just going to leave the tarp up until a judge tells them to take that down too
