VIDEO OF THE DAY: Mike Johnson says cutting healthcare for millions of Americans is morally right
The Republicans' "big, beautiful bill" cuts Medicaid to the tune of $700 BILLION dollars, but Speaker Mike Johnson wants us all to believe the only people who will lose their healthcare coverage are folks who don't deserve it in the first place. "The numbers of Americans who are affected are those that are entwined in our work to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse," Johnson claimed with a straight face. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that a whopping 8 million people will lose their coverage if the GOP's draconian bill becomes law, to which Johnson responded: "The morality of what we're doing here is precisely right and it comports with all the public opinion polls." Peculiar morals you've got there, Mike.

Trump deletes and reposts lengthy Memorial Day screed slamming "SCUM" Democrats
Never one to meet the moment, Donald Trump issued yet another signature, thumb-smashed, all-caps screed utterly detached from both reality and the holiday — in this case Memorial Day — he's purportedly celebrating. This time around he played a mulligan, deleting the original, early-morning post and replacing it a short time later with a new version with all his pesky typos fixed. On this most somber of national holidays, it's nice to know precisely who the MAGA cult leader is wishing a "happy" Memorial Day to: "THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS." Very presidential!

Marine veteran answers call to resist Trump
JoAnna Mendoza for Congress: JoAnna Mendoza served our country for twenty years as a drill sergeant in the United States Marines, training the brave men and women who defend our country overseas, and now she’s ready to defend our nation from Donald Trump’s extremism in the halls of Congress. As a lifelong public servant, JoAnna refuses to sit idly by while Donald Trump and Elon dismantle the systems that provide for our veterans after their service and send countless more vets to the unemployment line with their gutting of the federal government. Will you chip in to help Joanna flip this winnable red seat and take back control of Congress from the GOP?
Russia sent a record number of drones into Ukraine as Trump says Putin has "gone crazy"
Russia just launched the biggest drone attack on Ukraine in the more than three-year war, a Ukrainian official said Monday. The Russian bombardment on Sunday night included 355 drones. The previous night, Russia fired 298 drones and 69 missiles of various types at Ukraine in what Ukrainians said was the largest combined aerial assault during the conflict. From Friday to Sunday, Russia launched around 900 drones at Ukraine, officials said. A clearly flustered Donald Trump claimed Russian leader Vladimir Putin had suddenly gone "crazy" just as the MAGA cult leader's highly touted peace talks purportedly ramp up, fundamentally misunderstanding yet again the mind of the ex-KGB dictator who has ruled Russia with an iron fist for 26 years and counting and has repeatedly shown zero appetite to back away from his brutal, decade-long crusade to conquer Ukraine and rebuild a Russian empire.

Indiscriminate, unrestrained, brutal: Former Israeli PM calls Gaza assault "war crimes"
Israel’s former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert says he now believes his country’s relentless assault on the Palestinian people amounts to “war crimes” and must be stopped. Addressing the people of Israel in an article written in Hebrew and published by Haaretz on Thursday, Olmert, who served from 2006 to 2009, condemned current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government for "waging a pointless war, without a clear goal or plan, and with no chance of success." While Olmert wrote that he had previously defended his country against "accusations of genocide and war crimes," the Israeli politician said he can no longer see the widespread slaughter of civilians, including women, children, and the elderly, or the campaign to starve Gaza as mere collateral damage in "a brutal war." "What we are doing in Gaza is a war of extermination: indiscriminate, unrestrained, brutal, and criminal killing of civilians," Olmert concluded.

Climate scientists sound alarm over Trump plans to remove limits on power plant emissions
In news exactly no one with a passing interest in or understanding of climate will find surprising, scientists are slamming plans from the Trump regime to end limits on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. The Environmental Protection Agency is drafting a plan to "erase" ALL limits on greenhouse gases emitted by coal and gas-fired power plants, The New York Times reports in a story you'd be forgiven for thinking was written 50 years ago. The agency laughably argues that the greenhouse gases emitted by these plants "do not contribute significantly to dangerous pollution," which quite clearly flies in the face of long-established scientific opinion.

GOP lawmakers plot to kick millions off their healthcare
Care Can’t Wait: Lawmakers are coming for Medicaid — the program that covers more than 1 in 5 Americans. We’re talking kids, seniors, people with disabilities, caregivers, and millions of everyday folks who rely on it just to get by. The people who literally keep households running are being shut out of basic health coverage. Without Medicaid, essential doctor visits, medications, and basic care is out of reach for so many. Click here to tell your reps it’s time to fix that mess and DEMAND they take action to protect our healthcare!
Trump announces he will pause threatened 50% tariffs on Europe after "very nice call" with EU chief
Donald Trump has announced that he will — surprise! — pause his threatened 50% tariffs on the European Union until July 9 after a "very nice call" with EU chief Ursula von der Leyen. Apparently, all it takes to get the MAGA cult leader to flick his stupid tariff switch off is a little telephone flattery. Maybe we should try phoning in some other pressing policy requests?
