Jake Tapper is gonna have a hell of a book on this in four or five years. bsky.app/profile/newr...

Campaign Trump: “We could end the Ukraine conflict in 24 hours with the right leadership.” Trump now says this comment was in jest, but this remark was in an official “Agenda 47” campaign policy video titled, “Stopping the Warmongers & Globalists.”

Did Donald Trump just resign?

“I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.” ―George McGovern

Trump refusing to call Gov. Walz after shootings isn't leadership—it’s petty politics at its worst. Unfortunately, it's also Trump...at his best. It's who he is. It's all he has to offer.

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.

“We” are fighting a foreign war with zero consultation with or authorization from Congress, and no address to the nation other than Truth Social posts.

www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/17/b... I think this is the first white elected official treated this way I hope everyone sees this who hasn’t voted yet and considers ranking him number one 1/2

However unsure we may be about what the ultimate outcome will be, we may rest morally certain that Donald Trump has absolutely no idea what he’s doing from one moment to the next. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/u...

"You don't have the authority to arrest US citizens who are asking to see a judicial warrant." NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander being arrested *along with a member of his NYPD security team* by ICE.

This is how you actually do it. Create a schism between the cops and ICE. Who's really in charge? The answer is neither of them. The people and the courts are in charge, so let them figure this out with each other. Secret police are no one's allies.

NYC comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was just arrested at immigration court for asking to see warrants on behalf of those being detained:

Reminder: in broken and gerrymandered states, politics ceases being about public service…and it warps into a corrupt form of private service, where politicians use public power and raid public assets to serve private interests. This Browns fiasco offers the perfect case study:

Bluesky won’t let me post this here directly for some reason.

I think people are underestimating the degree to which Trump is a dramatic bitch who likes being the center of attention Now, this doesn't preclude a bad choice when he wraps this arc of Oval Office Apprentice, but it is a unifying theory of all his actions the last 24 hours

America should deport all foreigners working in slaughterhouses and give their jobs to children. This takes advantage of a child's natural urge to torture and kill animals. by Stephen Miller

Flamengo and Espérance fans lit up the city, then the Linc’s first game of the Club World Cup. My report from the Linc, the Art Museum, and other landmarks that the party rolled through yesterday: www.inquirer.com/soccer/club-... via @phillysport.bsky.social @inquirer.com

Importance of being there for family, especially kids 🥺 ❤️

When a sitting U.S. president tells the 8 million people living in Tehran to evacuate their capital, even if it’s just Trump being dramatic, it’s not harmless. The consequences aren’t just political, they can provoke panic, escalate conflict, or influence military decisions.

Putin Humiliates Trump With a Massive Strike on Ukrainian Civilian Targets That Kills an American The attack on Kyiv and other cities occurred mere hours after Putin’s lapdog Trump called for Russia to be allowed back into the G8.

Bartiromo: "The Senate Finance Committee unveiling the text of President Trump's bill ... it includes even steeper Medicaid cuts than the House called for." (Trump has repeatedly claimed that the bill doesn't cut Medicaid. Oops.)
