Imagine the Republican freakout if Biden sent secret police to red states to grab anyone with a gun just to check and make sure they’re allowed to have them. Where are the “don’t tread on me” folks in all this?

CATO: “New nonpublic data from ICE indicates the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind… 93% had no violent convictions… 65% no criminal record at all…” @MarshaBlackburn www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

NEWS: Donald Trump once said if Stephen Miller had it his way, there would only be 100 million people in America, all who look like Miller, according to the Wall Street Journal. This is the man Trump put in charge of immigration policy in our nation.

"OK, Dementia Donny, we'll agree to appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate the 2020 election, you tiresome deluded sore loser, but only on the condition that we also appoint another Special Prosecutor to investigate the 2024 election, with an emphasis on Elon Musk's cyber role in it."

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

Happy #Juneteenth! May we always strive to be a more perfect union.

Holy shit. India’s Foreign Secretary just shut down Trump’s claim he brokered peace between India and Pakistan. Modi told him: “There was never any discussion… about a trade deal or U.S. mediation… India has neither accepted mediation, nor does it do so—and never will.”

Seems worth remembering just 5 days ago Trump’s Secretary of State @marcorubio said we weren’t involved — and now today Trump is saying “I said let’s go” and taking credit (?) for Israel’s war with Iran. Bernie: “Netanyahu is not the president.”

Trump wants to go to war with Iran for something he is directly responsible for—Iran's resumption of of the enrichment of uranium.

Hot take: the way Tucker grills Ted Cruz in those clips should be the rule not the exception. If more of the media did this we would be in a much better place* (* = It should go without saying that we are not and never will be Tucker fans)

Well, I guess Alito’s beach house and the SBA finally have something in common!

Bibi starts a war with Iran and so Trump is making it our war? All of these people who got mad at Biden for his restraint and now our kids are preparing to serve as Israel’s emergency backup. What happened to ‘no new wars’ or ‘Harris will have us fighting Iran?’ It won’t be their kids fighting.

Anne Burrell, Food Network star and 'Worst Cooks in America' host, dies at 55

RIP Anne Burrell! I can't believe it. Wow. 😞

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.”

Retraining & reprogramming ourselves to no longer tolerate people, situations, or treatment we were trained & programmed for years to tolerate is a big, involved project. Give yourself grace. We need recovery to stick more than we need it to happen fast.

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.

This is an egregiously shameful tweet from a US senator

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.

We did it. We really did it. 💙💙💙

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

Fortunate Son. OMG
