Putin calls armed rebellion by mercenary chief a betrayal and vows to punish its leaders
While the situation is very murky right now, it appears that the Wagner mercenary army is attempting some sort of coup against Russia's military leadership after accusing the Russian army of bombing their camps and the FSB has opened a criminal probe into the Wagner chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin, for "armed mutiny." Wagner troops have apparently taken the military headquarters in Rostov-on-Don and Putin has delivered a furious speech in which he decried Wagner's actions as “a stab in the back," "betrayal," and "treason." Buckle up, folks, it's about to get real weird in Russia.

Supreme Court rebuffs GOP challenge to Biden's immigration policies
In a major victory for the Biden team, SCOTUS ruled that it was acceptable for the Biden admin to focus deportation efforts on those suspected of terrorism or had committed a crime. Texas (of course) and Louisiana sued, complaining that it would result in "too few arrests," but the court found that they didn't have standing to bring a lawsuit. It's incredible news for the majority of migrants who have come to the US seeking safety and a better life for themselves and their families.

Starbucks managers admit that Pride celebrations were cancelled by higher-ups
Turns out the company wasn't telling the truth when they vehemently denied reports that Pride celebrations had been banned in some stores. Stores in Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri all had their pride celebrations canceled for "regional consistency" — meaning, caving to anti-LGBTQ bigots in areas where they are particularly aggressive. It's just the latest in a slew of corporate concessions to hate groups, and an exceptionally cowardly one at that because they won't even admit it!

MTG says Kevin McCarthy has approved investigations of AG Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray
The MAGA conspiracy circus isn't letting up anytime soon, as Marjorie Taylor Greene bragged that they would soon be bringing investigations of both the FBI director and the Attorney General because of the "two-tiered justice system" in which Donald Trump is indicted for doing crimes that he did and admitted to doing on tape. Be ready for another couple months of fruitless hearings in which the GOP trot out a series of increasingly unreliable witnesses for increasingly unhinged and unproductive hearings that will likely result in nothing but lots of B-roll for Fox segments. [RETWEET THAT!]

Biden to sign executive order expanding access to contraception
The Biden team marked the year anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade by issuing an important executive order that will increase ways for women to access contraception and lower out-of-pocket costs. In the new post-Roe landscape, the importance of ensuring that women have access to contraceptives is more important than ever, especially as Clarence Thomas and right-wing extremist groups make noises about going after contraception next.

Federal judge blocks DeSantis from enforcing ban on minors attending drag shows
Who could possibly have predicted that the heavy-handed attempts to squash all LGBTQ+ representation from public life might run into some First Amendment issues?

Speaker McCarthy supports expunging Trump’s impeachments over Ukraine and Jan. 6
Uh, ok, you can change "the record" all you want but we all remember he was impeached twice, it was on TV, WE ALL SAW IT HAPPEN! All this does is speak so loudly to how obsessed the right-wing is about rewriting history and reality itself in order to accommodate their deranged and deeply dangerous delusions.
