Fragile Trump, 79, Insists No One’s Laughing at Him in All-Caps Rant The president started the day with his usual rant on social media.

Trump: “Nobody’s laughing!”

World: “If we’re not laughing it’s because we’re horrified and disgusted.”

A captured Court is delivering the goods for the billionaires who captured it. Sadly, most Democrats slept through the capture.

Legislation, regulation and litigation about climate, all a sacrifice to protect fossil fuel’s $700 billion pollute-for-free business model.

(Of course the Court blocked rules that would have disclosed the coordination among fossil-fuel front group “amici” flotillas.)

Of course fossil-fuel-funded flotillas of phony front groups will be there to instruct the Court, where they have a 100% success rate.

Of course next is the Court attacking climate litigation, finishing the free-to-pollute trifecta for the billionaire polluters who put them there.

(Of course the “major questions” notion was cooked up in fossil-fuel-funded doctrine factories, purpose-built by and for polluters.)

Of course the Clean Power Plan and “major questions” cases signaled the end of climate regulation as the Court intruded to blockade.

Of course Citizens United signaled the end of climate legislation, as unlimited fossil fuel dark money was brought to bear on Congress.

Of course Roberts and Alito, who also delivered Citizens United and dark money, were in the thick of it.

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

Of course the roots of the “shadow docket” are in service to the fossil fuel billionaires who captured the Court. 🧵

Trump to release reading of scripture days after angering many Christians The president has prepared an Old Testament reading for an event at the Museum of the Bible.

Pity that all he can do is read it, and not take it in.

Court Rejects Trump Administration Climate Lawsuit Against Hawaii

Not enough to pollute for free; fossil fuel gets Republicans AGs to provide taxpayer-funded free legal service.

Ghoulish levels of greed.

Agencies in talks with Trump, family to resolve $10B lawsuit over tax leaks President Trump and his family are suing federal agencies over leaks of their tax information. Court filings say they’re in talks to find a solution instead of heading to trial.

When you’re on both sides, you can dictate the result.

This is the DOJ “ice cream window” that pays off MAGA lawsuits, on conflict-of-interest steroids.

Trump/Russia rears its ugly head again.

Stooge Patel getting sloshed at the “Poodle Room” in Vegas? You simply cannot make this up!! Too good. Start the clock.

Trump is extracting money from families’ budgets and pumping it to his fossil fuel donors.

Glad to celebrate the opening of the South Shore Station 3 EMS Facility in South Kingstown today.

This new station is expected to save lives by cutting emergency response times by half for the southern part of town.

Opinion | Trump Meets His Match in Pope Leo As Bishop Sheen said to Milton Berle, the vicar of Rome has better writers and a better sponsor.

Worthy piece, particularly describing Trump’s dark blather as “the photographic negative of the Sermon on the Mount.”

Solar generation to rise 17% this summer: EIA The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s most recent short-term outlook highlights renewable energy’s growing grid penetration, particularly during the summer.

Trump tries to stop this low-cost solar power, so electric grids have to go to expensive dirty fossil plants, raising consumer prices, by (PUNCHLINE) driving money from regular ratepayers to Trump’s big fossil fuel donors. But clean energy keeps winning!!

Oh, and ICYMI, the subjects of the contempt proceeding would likely include MAGA’s own Emil Bove, raced through Senate confirmation hearings onto the Third Circuit during the first MAGA blockade of the contempt proceedings.

MAGA defends MAGA at all costs.

It’s a helluva stretch to use mandamus (again), and it’s the second blockade by MAGA judges, even after the full court had cleared the judge to proceed with the contempt inquiry.

Appeals Court Ends Contempt Inquiry Into Deportation Flights

More MAGA mischief: two MAGA Trump judges again interrupt a contempt inquiry into MAGA DOJ, before the proceedings even take place.

Opinion | For Now at Least, the Iran War Seems to Be Failing If you’re winning, you don’t typically threaten to destroy a civilization or look for scapegoats.

PolluterPage prints piece calling Trump “desperate, deranged”; administration “losers,” and war as “ill-conceived, ill-planned, ill-executed and, so far, failing.”

Trump’s Erratic Behavior and Extreme Comments Revive Mental Health Debate

It’s true that a president with significant mental health issues would leave adversaries “on edge.” As America loses.

Political cartoon. Trump is depicted in a car labeled with an American flag crashed into a tree labeled “Reality”. The tree has two branches, one labeled “Iran” and one labeled “Oil Prices.” He is saying “Is there a problem, officer?” to a policeman depicted with a globe as a head.

Pope responds to president’s insults: ‘I have no fear of the Trump administration’ The president wrote that the first U.S.-born pope, who has criticized the Iran war, was “weak” and “terrible” on crime and foreign policy.

Trump would rather fight with the Pope than lower costs.

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk. Decency and democracy win BIG! Trump/Vance/Rubio big LOSERS. Hurray Hungary!!

Exclusive | Trump Promises Mass Pardons to Staff Before Leaving Office In a recent meeting, the president said he would pardon those within 200 feet of the Oval Office, according to people familiar with the remarks.

Well, at least they’re self-aware.

Trump announces naval blockade of Iran after Islamabad talks yield no deal The blockade could derail a tenuous ceasefire after just five days. Vice President JD Vance said the U.S. remains open to diplomacy if Iran takes “our final and best offer.”

I wish I didn’t feel that Trump’s team were the dumbest three in the room. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...
