Tucker Carlson humiliates Ted Cruz in heated interview over senator’s apparent lack of Iran knowledge
Ted Cruz has spent his entire career being a hysterical alarmist who fiends for spilt Iranian blood, famously joking in a debate that he wanted to bomb Iran "until the sands glow." We now know how he's able to justify such a monstrous position so easily: he knows literally nothing about Iran or its people, and was publicly humiliated by Tucker Carlson — TUCKER — of all people. "Ted Cruz has done some pretty despicable things but making Tucker Carlson look like the voice of reason has to be the worst," quipped one Twitter user. We'd like to say we couldn't agree more, but how do you begin to choose from Ted's bottomless pit of dastardly offenses?

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump's ICE goons pull shocking stunt as cameras roll
Another day, another political opponent arrested by an increasingly fascistic Trump administration. This time the target was New York City Comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander, who was manhandled and handcuffed by multiple ICE agents — some masked, some in plain clothes — outside a federal courtroom for the apparent crime of...asking to see a judicial warrant. We call it fascism because it is fascism. Roll the tape.

Top scientist takes on the GOP's crusade of ignorance
Jasmine Clark for Georgia: Trump, RFK Jr., and the rest of their cronies in Congress have taken a chainsaw to our scientific research, public health, and climate initatives and are waging an all out-war on science and the truth. PhD scientist Dr. Jasmine Clark has had enough, and she's running for Congress in order to restore sanity to the government and make America a global leader in scientific development once again. Will you chip in to help jump-start her campaign and flip the House blue?

A split forms in MAGA world as Trump weighs next steps on Iran, with some leading figures rebuking him
The United States stands on the brink of being dragged into a catastrophic war with Iran that almost nobody — not even many of Trump's supporters — except Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu wants. Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, MAGA diehard Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and GOP propagandists Tucker Carlson and Charlie Kirk have all come out against intervention, while usual neocon suspects like Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz hunger for blood. Trump himself has issued a series of increasingly deranged threats to Iran on social media, but has also expressed frustration that his efforts to dictate a peace deal have been blown up by the Israelis. It's obvious he has no idea what to do and is hearing contradictory opinions from all sides...which would be great if the stakes weren't so deadly high.

Trump says US knows where Iran's Khamenei is hiding, but no plans to kill him "for now"
Just days after publicly distancing his administration from Israel's brazen attacks on Iran, the MAGA cult leader bragged that the US knows the exact whereabouts of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei but reassured everyone there are no plans to kill him — for now. Cool, cool, cool. Nothing says "diplomatic restraint" like dangling assassination threats on social media and playing "Peekaboo" with World War III.

New HBO documentary on rampant sexual abuse at OSU paints damning portrait of an indifferent Rep. Jim Jordan
A new HBO documentary about the alleged cover-up of sexual assaults at Ohio State University by predator Dr. Richard Strauss alleges that Rep. Jim Jordan knew about the abuse at the time and simply failed to act. Surviving Ohio State, produced by George Clooney, covers Strauss’ tenure at the institution from 1978 to 1998 and alleges that staff, including Jordan, then an assistant wrestling coach at the school, knew about Strauss’ conduct but did nothing to prevent it. Sources say Jordan is currently rolling up his shirt sleeves for many right-wing teevee appearances where he will ignore all questions regarding his culpability in the scandal and incessantly attack Clooney for being an out-of-touch Hollywood elite.

Trump tax bill would widen deficits by $2,800,000,000,000 after factoring in economic impacts, CBO says
Oopsie crazy. That's a lot of zeros.

Trump is "losing confidence" in Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard as he mulls removing her entire office, senior official says
In perhaps the least surprising news of the day, Donald Trump is souring on Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, a one-time Democratic presidential candidate who has a habit of going rogue. The MAGA cult leader was recently incensed, according to Politico, by Gabbard’s decision to post a three-minute video on Twitter in the early hours of June 10 in which she warned that "political elite and warmongers" are "carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers," placing the world "on the brink of nuclear annihilation." Trump is said to have been angered by the video, accusing Gabbard of going "off-message" and rebuking her for it in person. This past Tuesday, Trump publicly rejected testimony Gabbard gave before Congress in March in which she noted that, although Iran’s enriched uranium levels were at an all-time high, the expert opinion was that Tehran was not currently seeking to develop a nuclear bomb. "I don't care what she said," Trump hit back, apparently misunderstanding her testimony. "I think they were very close to having a weapon." Just another one of Donald's "best people" running afoul and falling out of favor with the wannabe dictator. Next!

Trump says he won't call Minnesota Gov. Walz after lawmaker shootings because it would "waste time"
The MAGA cult leader has managed to find time in his incredibly busy schedule for more than 40 golf outings since taking office, however. Priorities!

Senate passes landmark crypto bill in historic bipartisan vote
The Senate has passed a major crypto legislation that legalizes Trump's corrupt crypto scams with help from 18 Democrats. Leaked text messages obtained by The Lever show that the Democrats admit that "Trump’s corruption is manifesting dramatically in crypto," but they decided that since we need to win the next election, "we can not afford to alienate a very vocal and wealthy group of donors." So...if you can't beat 'em, join 'em?

Trump reportedly "reamed out" Pete Hegseth for flop birthday parade
To be fair, if you spent months hyping your Red Square-style, $45 million strongman birthday parade and ended up with a poorly attended Temu knock-off you'd probably be pretty pissed, too.
