A CONTROVERSIAL “APPEAL to Heaven” flag that has recently become associated with the “Stop the Steal” movement and Christian nationalism was flown above the Small Business Administration (SBA) agency last week in Washington, DC.

Protesters turned out against Donald Trump in historic numbers last weekend. But America’s opposition party is as uninspired and stuck as ever, David A. Graham writes in The Atlantic Daily.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

The Mormon Church has a long history of abuse, but the Mormon people used to have a reputation for honesty and compassion. If I were a devout Mormon, I would be demanding Mike Lee’s removal louder than anyone. He is yet another stain on their faith. The silence speaks volumes.

It is a major provision of his bill.

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

As long as they’re hiding their faces, badges and names we should stop calling them “federal agents.” Call them masked goons or unidentified thugs or whatever, unless and until they provide proper ID.

Just as Putin ignored and humiliated Trump on Ukraine, Netanyahu ignored Trump on Iran. So once again humiliated, Trump suddenly wades in and takes full responsibility for Israel’s war on Iraq. Ignorant, impulsive, unnecessary, reckless, dangerous. And all an act of vanity.

Arresting elected officials. Scooping immigrants up at the courthouse doing the right thing. This has nothing to do with criminals. It's quotas. Fucking cowards.

He still has up tweets where he approvingly quotes other people — including Elon — asserting that the MN assassin was somehow a leftist.

Can someone please ask Karoline Leavitt why the Director of White House Personnel refuses to say what country he is from and refuses to complete paperwork for a background check? Can you also ask if “Sergio Gor” is the name on his birth certificate. Seems kinda important.

Not good enough. He needs to resign or be expelled.

Retired four-star admirals and generals agree: Trump’s takeover of the National Guard poses a grave threat to our servicemembers, civilians, and constitutional norms.

NEW from @governorwalz.mn.gov spox: "Governor Walz wishes that President Trump would be a President for all Americans, but this tragedy isn’t about Trump or Walz. It’s about the Hortman family, the Hoffman family, & the State of Minnesota, & the Governor remains focused on helping all 3 heal."

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

So odd for the Vice President of the US to have such thin skin that he routinely feels the need to go after rando cranks on social media with name-calling over petty things.

Surprisingly high levels of opposition even among Republicans.

Trump is alone, humiliated, surrounded by loser supporters, and extremely angry. This is when he'll be at his most dangerous and will do as much as possible to hurt America and the world.

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm. Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Forcefully stopping and detaining my constituent and interrogating him about which hospital he was born in solely because he’s Latino is blatant racism. ICE's racial profiling is terrorizing communities, targeting U.S. citizens and making us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/u...

call for a vote to censure or call for a vote to expel. protract the story and explain why it matters.

Just remarkable to see this in writing: “You exploited the murder of a lifetime public servant to post some sick burns about Democrats.”

For the first time in its 116-year history, the NAACP will not invite the president to their convention. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Tulsi Gabbard in 2019: “Trump seems determined to go to war with Iran”

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Trump rolls into the G7 summit complaining about how mean they are to Putin, trashes America on foreign soil, confused the EU with the UK, dropped papers on the ground, trashed Tucker Carlson, accomplished nothing, then bailed early to escalate a war. MAGA!

He’s moving us toward what’s called a “police state.” Random abductions and detentions. Disappeared people. Federal troops on our streets. We won’t stand for it.

It’s too late. I sat down in my towel after a shower. Go on without me.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

It appears that Fox News tweaked the audio throughout the 250 Army Parade. The first clip is from PBS, the second is from Fox News. In the Fox clip the "USA" chant is noticeably louder.

This is just sad for him and the voters he represents.

Mike Lee is sick and depraved for making light of the murder of a Democratic lawmaker. He must resign or the Senate must expel him. It's that simple.

This is something a crackhead would say.

LEFT: The fake picture of the Department of Defense just posted. RIGHT: The reality. So now the military is not just arresting us on street corners illegally but spreading disinformation. And it's only Monday.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

Trump realizes people are turning on him, which means he will get more desperate, aggressive, extreme, and violent. These are all actions of a weak regime and weak man.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

Facts matter.

ME: oh you can call anyone daddy these days. guy, girl, genderless, it all works DENTIST: ok but I’m asking you specifically to not call me that

Trumpism proceeds by the successive breaking of taboos. Each time a new one is broken, the previous one is normalized, made to look not so bad by comparison. The cuffing of Padilla was a red-line moment. https://trib.al/3sHPGLT

5 things Trump did this week: 1. Fenced off the Washington Monument 2. Threw a White House garden party 3. Allowed war to break out 4. Triggered massive protests against himself across the country 5. Forced his cabinet to watch his low energy, low attendance birthday parade

I assume the service members out there today realize that the tradeoff for the cost of the parade was probably a million things that could make their professional lives better and safer. What a shitty way to treat the people under your command

One block over from the White House: the aspirational security line setup
