It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

The United States has been at endless war in the Middle East for my entire life. See below for my full statement on President Trump’s escalation in the region.

A war on Iran won’t only occur in Iran. There will be claims of imminent reprisal attacks to assault the freedoms of our Muslim neighbors, no matter how absurd or ignorant. There will be persecution & deportation attempts, esp vs the pro-Palestine movement. Will there be solidarity vs all this?

Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California is trolling JD Vance on social media. lol 😂 Welcome to beautiful Los Angeles where the people are cool and off our couches!! 😂

"I am the candidate of peace"

“God bless Israel,” Trump says. Trump’s priorities are clear. Americans are going to die for this, but at least Israel got what it wanted.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

AOC calls for Donald Trump’s impeachment following his decision to bomb Iran.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

Republicans better start praying there are no reprisals by Iran against Americans for today's military strike. Because of their callous disregard of due process as families are ripped apart by masked thugs, there's already enough blood on their hands.

Bernie in Texas, Mahmoud Khalil freed, JD Vance flops in California, and more

Can we get this done now, please?

Do you agree Trump should be impeached and removed? Tell Congress that here:

Just a heads up: if we are in fact at war, the authorities Trump has been using — many/most of which are delegated wartime authorities — will only expand and be given more deference by the courts. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

We sent out 1,000 letters in less than an hour, let's get another thousand before 11:30. Tell your members of Congress Trump must be impeached:

WHEN TIMES GET TOUGH AT HOME,THE FASCISTS TAKE US TO WAR.

I will be returning to Washington tomorrow. Congress should demand immediate and detailed information on the situation on the ground, the location and security of Iran’s nuclear materials, and the next steps in Trump’s military engagement.

Cost estimate of Senate tax cuts is out! On an apples-to-apples basis, the Senate GOP tax bill costs $4.2 trillion, $403 bn more than the House. However, the Senate has fewer (still some) "temporary" measures. Take that into account, and it's more expensive, but the House is EVEN more expensive.

Masked ICE agents spotted swapping out license plates this morning in Bell Gardens, CA

Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

Democrats are at odds, you say? Last I saw, Tucker Carlson was cleaning Ted Cruz’s clock on this issue, but ok.

🚨SPECIAL ELECTION - NEW HAMPSHIRE STATE HOUSE DISTRICT STRAFFORD 12🚨 Democrat: Billie Butler Election Date: 🗓️THIS TUESDAY, JUNE 24TH🗓️ Area: Northeast of Dover Note: A Dem-held seat in a toss-up district, so we want to defend our turf. Plus, Butler is a trans woman under attack by the local GOP.

Melissa Hortman is no longer with us “All because someone decided her voice was too powerful” “Female members regardless of party affiliation are the #1 target for violence, threats, & hate campaigns” For all women watching “We see you We’re going to Keep Showing Up, Louder, Stronger, Together”

BREAKING: Texas facility holding families awaiting deportation (?) forced to fight for food/water‼️

Something I’d note is that while there is criminal immunity for “official acts” for the president, no such immunity exists for the deputy chief of staff.

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

Must see/share video! Imagine your precious child getting dragged off in handcuffs & jailed & then deported to a country where he has no connections. That's what happened to Ada Amador when her 19 yo soccer star son, Emerson Colindres was detained at a routine immigration check-in. #Fascist #ICE

Emerson Colindres, a recent high school graduate & wonderful athlete, a 19 year-old kid was abducted at an immigration check-in. He was thrown in jail & then deported to a country he left at age 8. He has no connections there & no place to stay. Call Congress at 202-224-3121 to stop the cruelty!

The paper this Nazi law student in Florida won a prize for makes an argument that's only a sharper, & more explicit version of the history of the founding taught at Christian Nationalist schools like Hillsdale College, and which will inform Trump's 250th celebration. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/u...

Complicity is (was)(is) everywhere. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ju...

At every turn, the GOP is chipping away at Social Security. They're making it harder for seniors to access their benefits and hiding the agency's customer service data. It was never about efficiency. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

If you or anyone you know is still considering ranking Andrew Cuomo for mayor, please read this piece from @rtraister.bsky.social - the NY Mag journalist who covered the sexual harassment allegations against him substack.com/home/post/p-...

even if you don’t care about the mayor’s race in NYC, this is such a great write up about our political future
