The last time I checked, Republicans have the majority in the House and Senate. Let's start holding their leaders accountable for allowing this behavior. I'm tired of this double standard.

All JD can do is travel around the world. It's not like anyone is asking for his opinion on policy decisions. He has no role in the administration. Seriously, what meaningful work has he done since January? Oh yeah, he provided the tiebreaking vote for Pete "Signal" Hegseth. We see how that's going.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, culture, and the enduring strength of community across generations. We acknowledge our nation’s full history and the long, ongoing fight for freedom and justice for Black Americans.

Not surprising... it's Juneteenth. I guess celebrating the end slavery in America isn't an important historical event in his mind. But I don't really care what he thinks. I don't need his permission to celebrate Juneteenth... like, ever.

Facts! Trump never lied about wanting to deport people. He never pretended to care about undocumented immigrants... like, ever.

Facts! The Democrats aren't trying to cut Medicaid while giving tax cuts to the rich. They didn't send the National Guard and Marines to L.A. They didn't disappear people to El Salvador without due process. They didn't put a judge, mayor, congresswoman, and senator in handcuffs.

Weingarten: Their attacks on public education are relentless and why? Because they fear knowledge. Why do they fear teachers? They fear us because we teach critical thinking… their brand of greed, power, and privilege cannot survive in a democracy of diverse educated citizens

It's not surprising. Frustrating... but not surprising. I hope the folks in L.A. see what's going on and remain peaceful in their protests.

JUST IN: Judge Charles Breyer finds that President Trump exceeded the scope of his authority and violated the 10th Amendment by federalizing the California National Guard and orders him to return control to Governor Newsom. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump is simply trying to create a distraction. If he really cared about protecting the people against an insurrection, he could've proved that on January 6, 2021. Instead, he pardoned those insurrectionists that stormed the Capitol.

Republicans like to call their legislation a “Big, Beautiful Bill.” Today the nonpartisan CBO showed us the truth: their bill would kick almost 11 million people off their health insurance & balloon the deficit by $2.4T. That’s not “beautiful”—it’s the Great Betrayal in action.

I hope that the new FEMA director wasn't being honest when he said that... because if he was telling the truth, that may be one of the craziest things I've heard so far this year.

This circus of an administration is on full display. This is one of many reasons why bond market investors don't trust the U.S. like they used to. Arresting judges, mayors, and members of Congress doesn't help our reputation. This behavior says to them, "Find a new place to invest."

All I know is this. Under Joe Biden's presidency, planes weren't falling out the sky, we weren't in a trade war with penguins and China, Qatar wasn't trying to give him a $400 million plane, people weren't being sent to prisons in El Salvador wothout due process, and Canada still liked us.
