— Jimmy Kimmel, on his late night show.

Said Boebert: “Fuck you, first of all!”

She added: “If you’re gonna bring me into this, like, the sexist stuff is like out of control. So there’s your clickbait that you were looking for. I don’t want to talk about anybody’s exes and the crazy sh*t that they do.”

“But few politicians are embracing grassroots demands for a pause or ban on data center construction, which some on the left see as a missed opportunity for Democrats to distinguish themselves ahead of a midterm election that they hope will hinge on cost-of-living concerns.”

“His opponent, Representative Mike Collins, who led after both advanced to a runoff in the first-round election last month, is the race’s self-styled MAGA candidate. President Trump has not endorsed either man ahead of the June 16 runoff — at least not yet.”

Said Trump: “I didn’t guarantee no war.”

“Now many among the group of vaccine skeptics and healthy food crusaders say their vote is up for grabs in the midterms after a string of perceived losses on pesticides and chemical regulations, not to mention disappointing leadership picks and an unpopular war in Iran.”

“The 66-year-old Democrat is likely to be one of the oldest—if not the oldest—in the field from either party if he enters the race. The former congressman, White House chief of staff, Chicago mayor and ambassador to Japan has a long résumé, but his more centrist instincts and age are potential strikes against him in a party that has moved leftward and faces calls for younger leaders.”

“The effort, which was described by a senior administration official who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly, is unfolding alongside fitful talks between Washington and Tehran on a potential agreement to extend a truce in the Iran war. Negotiations appear to have bogged down over Tehran’s insistence on the release of some $24 billion in frozen Iranian financial assets.”

“The two-day visit that begins Monday marks Xi’s first to Pyongyang in seven years, and comes just weeks after he hosted US President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin in Beijing for high-profile summits in quick succession.”

“Yet if the polls in New York’s Tenth Congressional District are anywhere near correct, Goldman will lose his bid for reelection in a primary later this month to another middle-aged Jewish guy aligned with progressive causes.”

Asked whether anyone who attacked police officers on January 6 should get taxpayer money, Trump said: “I wouldn’t be inclined to say so, but I have to see it.”

Said Trump: “Nowadays when you have good reports, the market goes down because they think they’re going to raise interest rates. There’s no reason to raise interest rates.”

“As we sit here today, Democrats have a good chance of winning the presidency in 2028. If things stay on this trajectory, the 2028 election looks a lot like 2008, and Donald Trump looks like George W. Bush: a toxic incumbent who will drag down his party.”

“But it would be a huge error to treat that win as evidence that voters are yearning for some pre-Trump normalcy. Four of the last five presidential elections have been change elections where voters threw out the party in power. The only exception was Obama’s reelection in 2012.”

“Hegseth, whose wife, Jennifer Hegseth, also joined the trip, is in France to commemorate the 82nd anniversary of D-Day and honor the tens of thousands of American troops who stormed the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944.”

“The embattled South Carolina House Republican, who’s in the midst of a bruising race for governor, has a long history of bucking — and then cozying back up to — Trump. But her leading role in releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files was likely a bridge too far for the president, who has spent significant time and energy this year to get revenge against his GOP defectors.”

“Trump’s recent decision to back one of Mace’s primary opponents, Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, in the crowded field will carry monumental weight in the crimson-red state. Past elections suggest that, with the president’s endorsement, Evette has all but secured her place in a runoff, as Mace and three other Republicans continue to scramble for the second spot on the ballot.”

“There are more than a million backlogged applications for citizenship, green cards, work permits and asylum. When those applications would move forward, however, was uncertain.”
