Charge Jared Kushner with violating the Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953). He’s a corrupt PoS criminal just like his wretched father.

EXCLUSIVE: Eli Lilly gave compassionate use access to retatrutide, their unapproved powerful obesity drug, to a 79-year-old man in April. The application was arranged by a top doctor at NIH, and cleared by the FDA. http://www.statnews.com/2026/06/23/e…

Sources told STAT that application drew interest from top health officials. Given the demographics and the peculiar nature of the application, I asked the WH if this patient was President Trump, who turned 80 a week ago. I did not get a direct answer.

— Lizzy Lawrence (@lizzylawrence.bsky.social) 2026-06-23T12:27:43.721Z

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Trump was notably one of the first people administered an antibody treatment from Regeneron after he contracted the virus, via this same compassionate use pathway.

— Lizzy Lawrence (@lizzylawrence.bsky.social) 2026-06-23T12:27:43.722Z

18 bioethics experts, obesity clinicians, and current and former government officials told me the application struck them as unusual. They questioned why Lilly would offer compassionate use for a single patient when obesity is such a widespread condition.

— Lizzy Lawrence (@lizzylawrence.bsky.social) 2026-06-23T12:27:43.723Z

Why on earth does a 6’3” 239 lb man need a weight loss drug. I mean, look at these two specimens!

Lilly posted its program for retatrutide in early June, but unlike postings for other drugs, it contains no information about the disease conditions or which patients might qualify. "Only people in the know would be able to find this," an expert said. clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT076…

— Lizzy Lawrence (@lizzylawrence.bsky.social) 2026-06-23T12:27:43.724Z

One remarkable aspect of Trump’s reign is how many crises and problems he’s brought on himself.Then he brags about how well he’s handled them.But when things go wrong — as they usually do — he casts blame on others or on his political opponents.Consider him the Green Algae President.

Two more dead ducks have been found near Donald Trump’s Reflecting Pool.

— The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast.bsky.social) 2026-06-23T10:48:56.042Z

When the Reflecting Pool was replenished after a $14 million-plus renovation, ducks quickly took to the water. But then dead ducks were found nearby.The carcasses found in Constitution Gardens will undergo necropsies to determine cause of death.

Conversation Starter: Scottie’s pic

Scottie posted this meme yesterday and it prompted a further exploration than seemed easy in his list of images.

I think I’m going to shock some people here, maybe even get someone mad at me at this writing. I have to tell you all, I’m kinda a shy person. So, I’m not comfortable with some strange transgender person staring at my pecker when I pee.

I’m really just not comfortable with that. But, you know, I’m not comfortable with a strange man staring at my pecker when I’m trying to pee either. Nor am I comfortable with a strange woman staring at my pecker. In fact, I don’t flaunt my pecker about when I pee. And, I feel somehow disenfranchised because I don’t find the bathroom a place to flaunt my privates, yet the way some on the right talk about it there must be things going on in there that I’m not contributing to or enjoying. What am I doing different than those who are worried about this happening?

Some may also find this startling, but I heard that this person was found in the women’s bathroom. Many accused homophobes feel that people should not “pretend” to be a woman for the sole purpose of going into the women’s bathroom.

And, some uptight karens would say that the prevalence of this very person in a women’s bathroom is indicative of just how far things have come that “she” would feel comfortable going into a women’s bath. They say we should be shocked and outraged at Sports Illustrated for publishing these pictures.

And others would be wise to tell you that this is ILONA MAHER, a phenomenal women’s rugby star and arguably the best in the world. I would tell you that she is very strong, very aggressive, and very beautiful, and I would tell you that hassling Ms. Maher is surely contraindicated for a long life.

The uncomfortable facts are that sexual assaults perpetrated by trans people is extremely low. And, let’s consider just for a moment the great deal of bother a person needs to go through to transgender, and there are those who think it’s so they can go look at girls?! Further, the uncomfortable fact remains that 85%-90% of all sexual assaults are perpetrated by someone known by the victim — ie: not strangers, and often they are family members or close family friends and DO NOT happen in a public bathroom. And finally, a great many lgbtq folks actively avoid bathrooms, no matter how desperately they need relief, because they are all too often the victim of assault by other bathroom goers.

Personally, I’m not going into the bathroom to make friends, to admire others or to find comparisons to determine where I fall in the pissing contest of reactionary karens. I don’t care. We are all human, and like the kid’s book says, we all gotta poop.

Trump’s Green New Deal

It’s going to take a lot more than hydrogen peroxide to clean up this deal

Clay Jones

Trump’s failure with the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is a perfect example of how this regime operates.

He said he wants to beautify Washington DC, though the city is already beautiful. This is like when he came into office in 2017, and before the afternoon was over, he took credit for rebuilding the military. We were spending over $800 billion a year on our military before Donald Trump came into office, so trust me…. We already had a military. If anything, our military is weaker today because Donald Trump just wasted a lot of its armaments on his stupid chosen illegal war. It’s also being led by a chauvinistic, racist, white Christian nationalist with the brain of a moldy sponge.

Back to the pool. Trump wanted to beautify it before July 4, when our nation celebrates its 250th birthday, not to be confused with June 14, which is Donald Trump’s birthday, which will now be commemorated every year by having shirtless men pummel each other in your backyard. (snip-MORE)

What’s In The Sack?

Clay Jones

The UFC event at the White House last Sunday was not supposed to be political, even though it was held on Donald Trump’s birthday. But after winning his fight, UFC fighter Josh Hokit was being interviewed by podcaster and ring announcer, Joe Rogan, when he grinned and looked into the camera, and said, “And lastly, Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America?”

Of course, he is not right, and his racist and sexist conspiracy theory shouldn’t be given the dignity of a defense because it is just too ridiculous and stupid. But what Hokit did wasn’t just disrespectful to Michelle Obama and President Obama, but also to the White House, where he made the comment (hasn’t that place suffered enough during Trump 2.0?), and the country, as this was supposed to be for America’s 250th birthday.

The event itself was disrespectful enough to the White House and the Oval Office without Hokit’s hateful comment. (snip-MORE)

‘Real men serve others’: Talarico fires back at ‘Low T’ attacks in exclusive sit-down

Texas Democrats have spent decades trying to flip the state blue. Now, Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico says this may be their best chance yet. In a wide-ranging exclusive sit-down with The Weekend’s Eugene Daniels, Talarico responds to President Trump’s attacks on his campaign, Republican efforts to make masculinity central to the race, and why Democrats think Texas is in play. Talarico also responds to attacks from Republican nominee Ken Paxton and shares his own definition of what it means to be a “real man.”

Thank You, On Behalf Of All Kansas & Other Kiddoes Who Watch The Environment’s Weather!

It’s a big help to see things like this; it helps to understand why things are happening that don’t make sense. The other night, we had so much rain, my backyard was a shallow pond. Not a swamp, or rice paddies or whatever, but a literal pond. That hasn’t happened in years, for one thing, but I was mostly looking out and hoping it wasn’t going to turn into a brown ocean (which I learned of in another weather video on this site.)
