The United States House of Representatives has voted in favour of measures to halt President Donald Trump’s war on Iran as the conflict drags into a fourth month and both sides remain at loggerheads in peace negotiations.

The vote on Wednesday marks the first successful effort by lawmakers to force the US to end a conflict that has had mounting catastrophic effects, from thousands of civilian deaths to global trade disruptions.

It also comes as opposition to the conflict has grown significantly within camps of Trump’s Republican Party due to the effects on Americans themselves and Trump’s failure to swiftly secure a concrete, lasting deal with Iran.

But for now, the vote will remain largely symbolic because of Trump’s own presidential veto power on legislation and because of Republican dominance in the House and Senate – even though it marks a significant reprimand by lawmakers.

Scott Bessent (Faggot Sec of Treasury) Rapes Sen. Ron Wyden (D) over Epstein claims

https://nypost.com/2026/06/03/us-news/scott-bessent-goes-scorched-earth-against-sen-ron-wyden-over-epstein-claims/

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent came out firing at Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee Wednesday, offering a cheeky response when asked about a widely reported altercation with a fellow member of the Trump administration.

Bessent started his appearance before the panel by slamming Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), the committee’s ranking member, over family ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

“Senator Wyden has mendaciously slandered the Treasury building in an attempt to cover up his son having an investment meeting with Jeffrey Epstein to ask for funding,” Bessent charged in his opening statement, referring to an April 2016 gathering that Adam Wyden attended at the convicted sex offender’s Manhattan mansion at which he sought investment backing for his hedge fund, ACM Capital Management.

“Jeffrey, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to meet with me. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation and hope my passion and dedication for my business came through in the meeting,” Adam wrote on April 28, 2016. “I intensely appreciate like minded individuals and would very much look forward to having you join us at the fund.”

Clark pressed Marx hard on his past claims, which include that he killed a man at age seven.

"You claim that you've been all around the world, armed to the teeth, rescuing women and children from captivity, that you stopped human smugglers at the Mexico border and made them pay a price, that you, as a civilian, called in a U.S. Military airstrike that killed 70 ISIS fighters, that you were the first American into Gaza during the war with Israel, that you've done 150 high-risk missions and every one has been a success. You told me last week that it's all true and that you don't need to prove it to anyone. But you're talking to voters now. How should voters decide whether you've lived one of the most extraordinary lives in human history, or whether you're a liar and a fraud?" Clark asked.

Marx tried to pivot with an attack on Kirkmeyer, answering, "Can we back up to her for one second? Please, please answer the question, sir. I will. But this — I'll make a little informal complaint. The folks at home don't want to hear about her past and what she did. That's not gonna make a lick of difference to those who are having trouble putting food on the table, Kyle, paying their electricity bill, having to try to figure out how they send their kids to school."

Clark interjected, "Sir, how much of your time do you plan to burn before you answer? Answer the question of whether you tell the truth."

"Do I tell the truth?" replied Marx.

"How should voters discern whether you have had one of the most extraordinary lives in human history, or whether you are a liar and a fraud?" Clark pressed again.

Its impressive that Trump is this tucking stupid

https://www.noise11.com/news/freedom-250-concert-collapse-jeff-epstein-trump-event-20260602

The Freedom 250 concert series, planned as a centrepiece of celebrations marking America’s 250th anniversary, has suffered a major setback after a string of performers pulled out of the event, citing concerns about its political affiliations. The controversy has also drawn attention to New York booking executive Jeff Epstein, the longtime Universal Attractions Agency president whose involvement in assembling much of the lineup became the subject of widespread commentary and late-night television satire.

The withdrawals have left organisers scrambling ahead of the Great American State Fair, scheduled for Washington DC from June 25 to July 10. Freedom 250, established by executive order under Trump as a parallel initiative to the bipartisan America250 Commission, had announced a concert roster dominated by veteran acts including The Commodores, Martina McBride, Morris Day and The Time, Bret Michaels, Vanilla Ice and Young MC.

However, within days, several performers publicly distanced themselves from the event.

Country artist Martina McBride said she had originally believed the performance would be part of a nonpartisan celebration. In a social media statement, she wrote that she had been presented with an opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event but later discovered that was not the case.

Young MC echoed similar concerns, stating that artists had not been informed about political involvement when agreements were initially made. He later described the situation as a “bait-and-switch”. Bret Michaels, who has previously appeared alongside Trump and won Celebrity Apprentice in 2010, also withdrew, saying the event had evolved into something far more divisive than what he had originally agreed to support.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/all-eu-members-greenlight-first-step-accession-talks-ukraine-pm-says-2026-06-03/

June 4 (Reuters) - All members of the European Union agreed to open talks with Ukraine and Moldova on the first cluster of issues in their accession talks, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said early on Thursday.

"Fantastic news," she wrote on X. "We are one step closer to the EU membership: steadily moving towards our goal."

Cyprus, which holds the rotating presidency of the EU, said on X it had starting preparing to formally open negotiation on the first group of negotiating chapters, which cover rule-of-law and democratic standards, with both countries.

"This marks a significant milestone in their European integration path, and sends a strong message of EU unity and determination," it said.
The presidency said it would work "towards finalising the discussions" for the formal opening.

Earlier, Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar said his country and Ukraine had reached an agreement on the rights of the 100,000-strong Hungarian minority in Ukraine.

Magyar had previously said that agreement on the long-running dispute was essential if Budapest were to agree to Ukraine joining the EU.
Both Ukraine and Moldova are pressing for membership of the 27-member EU after more than four years of war pitting Kyiv against Moscow.

TIRANA, Albania — A massive coastal development project linked to Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump, is facing growing resistance from protesters in Albania.

The government says the development on the Adriatic coast would be transformational for the former communist nation as it seeks to enter the high-end tourism market and pushes for European Union membership.

But the venture, spanning an abandoned island and a nearby stretch of seafront on Albania's southern coast, has drawn opposition from environmental campaigners and critics of long-time Socialist Prime Minister Edi Rama.
Kushner and Ivanka Trump found the site on a barefoot hike

The luxury project has two components: a coastal development in the Narta Lagoon area, which is a wildlife reserve, and a smaller resort on the nearby uninhabited island of Sazan, a communist-era military base.

The planned development of hotels, apartments, villas and a marina is linked to Kushner and Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump.

In an interview this week with U.S. podcaster David Senra, Ivanka Trump said they discovered the site by accident.

Vandals sabotage Trump’s Freedom 250 event on National Mall — contaminating underground water with fuel
https://nypost.com/2026/06/02/us-news/trumps-freedom-250-event-on-national-mall-sabotaged-by-vandals/

Vandals sabotaged generators at President Trump’s Freedom 250 event, according to a spokeswoman — and fuel leached into underground water tanks, contaminating them.

A generator fuel line set up for temporary lights for a May 17 event was cut, causing fuel to seep into underground cisterns that collect rainwater under the Washington, DC, landmark, Freedom 250 spokeswoman Rachel Reisner told NBC News.

“Following the Freedom 250 team’s installation of temporary lighting on the National Mall, our equipment has been repeatedly targeted by vandals. The recent fuel leak was the direct result of that tampering,” she said.

“Upon discovering damage to a generator fuel line, Freedom 250 and our vendors mobilized within minutes, coordinated an immediate cleanup response, and fully remediated the site in close partnership with the National Park Service,” Reisner went on.

“We take our responsibility as stewards of the National Mall seriously and are working closely with the appropriate law enforcement authorities regarding these acts of vandalism.”

Jimmy Kimmel was famously cancelled after Project 2025 and trump shredded the First Amendment when they threatened ABC

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/jimmy-kimmel-peabody-awards-jokes-trump-1236610141/

After announcing its winners in the spring, the Peabody Awards celebrated the 34 honorees at a Beverly Hills event on Sunday.

The awards span television, podcasts/radio and the web in categories for entertainment, news, documentary, arts, children’s/youth, public service and interactive/immersive programming and media. Winners are chosen by a unanimous jury vote and selected for their potential to change culture. Heated Rivalry, Pluribus, The Pitt, Andor, The Rehearsal, Adolescence and Jimmy Kimmel Live! were among the Hollywood winners, with Kimmel having a standout moment on stage after months of publicly battling Donald Trump.

Ben Affleck was on hand to honor Kimmel, teasing that “for years he’s used his show to challenge authority on a nightly basis, and by authority I think we all know who that really means — one particularly credit-hogging narcissist named Matt Damon,” referencing Kimmel’s longtime on-screen beef with the star. Affleck continued, “when they pulled his show off the air, Jimmy refused to back down. What he said to me was it wasn’t for his own benefit, but because he knows justice dies in the dark — I taught him that as Batman.”

“Comedy and satire are vital parts of democratic speech, whether the government likes them or not,” Affleck added before Kimmel took the stage, as the late-night host — joined by sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez — admitted “I’ve felt pretty dumb a lot of times in my life but I’ve never felt dumber than I do right now,” while he stood beside documentarians and reporters who had worked on projects about ICE, abuse and wars.

> Police cam footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlDmsdYjbtg

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crlpyw05l75o

Student Henry Nowak repeatedly told police officers "I can't breathe" as he lay dying in handcuffs after being stabbed, bodycam footage shows.

The 18-year-old Southampton student was handcuffed after killer Vickrum Digwa, 23, lied to police at the scene of the 2025 stabbing, claiming he had been the victim of a racist attack.

Footage released by the force, with permission from Nowak's family, shows him pleading "I've been stabbed" and an officer replying "I don't think you have mate".

Nowak suffered stab wounds to his legs and a fatal wound to his heart from a 21cm (8in) blade that Digwa said he carried as part of his Sikh faith. He was jailed for life with a minimum 21-year term.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said an investigation into the police force's actions was ongoing.

Speaking in the House of Commons earlier, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood revealed a police officer unrelated to the case had been misidentified and forced to relocate in order to protect him and his family.
