Per Scott McFarlane: Multiple Jan 6 defendants have filed legal motions asking that the legally-required Jan 6 honorary plaque at US Capitol also include ... a "recognition" of the "experiences" of the Jan 6 defendants Y'all see this ish???

#BREAKING: Over a (sharp) public dissent from the three Democratic appointees, #SCOTUS clears the way for the Trump administration to remove migrants to third countries *without* giving them an additional opportunity to contest whether they face persecution or other forms of mistreatment there:

Glimmer of hope

Bravo to the Citizens of Venice who sent rich billionaire bastard @jeffbezos a message in a much nicer way than the usual Italian message from where I grew up-"vaffanculo!"

2 ways to look at the ruling setting Kilmar Abrego Garcia free. 1. The government doesn’t have much credibility to its case & the judge isn’t buying it. 2. The government is pulling out all the stops to railroad the guy.

Bipartisan War Powers Resolution sponsored by Rep. Massie (R-KY) and Rep. Khanna (D-CA) to curb further escalation by tRump in Iran. Per Rep. Massie "has enough co-sponsors to bring it to a vote unless Johnson pulls some shenanigans." www.newsweek.com/full-list-co...

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

As J. Sotomayors dissent says, the Republican Justices seem to think the Trump admin is injured “any time a court orders…it to refrain from doing something it would like to do.” But it cares nothing for the people sent to countries they don’t know - places they’re at risk of slavery, torture, more.

In the 2017 fiscal year, FedEx owed more than $1.5 billion in taxes. The next year, it owed nothing. What changed was the Trump administration’s tax cut — for which the company had lobbied hard. They promised to reinvest, but of course, they didn't. www.nytimes.com/2019/11/17/b...

Iran has deliberately limited its attack on ONE US site and sent a small number of missiles. They contacted the USA and Qatar 2 hours in advance. The base was not hit. All six missiles shot down.

Netanyahu played Trump. Result: The Middle East is up in flames. We've seen this film before: false intel, hapless bombing, no exit plan. Resist the Bozo Tyrant. He is leading us toward destruction. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

It’s the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

I talk to my patients about the dangers of holding an "instant gratification" mindset. Someone's therapist didn't share CBT with him. And now this 👇🏼👇🏼 #winning

Schiff: "It's not an operation that should've ever been authorized by the president in the absence of intelligence showing that Iran had made the decision to break out and build a bomb."

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

So Trump lied when he said “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated”? No way? He lied?

DHS is looking for former law enforcement, former military, and former terrorism analysts to track migrants in MD, and not to find gang members or drug dealers. Migrants they find at or looking for work. Law-abiding people going to immigration check ins. Parents at elementary school graduations.

I do not support this type of violence by ICE!! It’s wrong, hateful and not who we are.

#FuckRepubscum

We are in the hands of a mentally unstable nut who is now threatening Russia with nuclear retaliation based on the midnight ramblings of a drunken fool in Russia.

BREAKING Qatari authorities have closed Qatar’s airspace until further notice.

The man who was violently beaten by ICE and detained last week is the father of three US Marines. I had previously posted he was a US citizen. He was undocumented, so I’m correcting that. The video in the post following this one contains an interview of one of his sons. / #USMC

The orange felon’s illegal bombing of Iran failed to destroy the nuclear facility that he said was obliterated. He literally lies about everything and what’s worse is that he put the entire United States in danger in order to make himself feel powerful. Monstrous dickhead.

🚨 Yes, this is real: Trump’s VA just gave doctors the power to refuse care to Democrats and unmarried veterans. You read that right — a political loyalty test at the hospital door. Veterans who served this country can now be turned away for not being married or not voting GOP.

That is really reassuring, now I feel really safe. If something happens, they’ll all blame Biden, not a 22 yo landscaping/grocery clerk…

"Do you want America to be at war with Iran?" No: 85% Yes: 5% YouGov / June 22, 2025

This really is Congress eating its own institutional capacity to stifle any dissent to Trump. They accuse CBO of being Democrats, even though it is run by a Republican appointee. GAO has pointed out the illegality of impoundment. DOGE tried to take over GAO, and now House Republicans want to gut it.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

KTLA - Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all US Marines, pepper-sprayed and punched in the face by alleged federal immigration officers while he was working as a landscaper at an IHOP. He was then forced into the back of an unmarked car in Santa Ana.

Update: looks like this is going to fall out as a result of the Byrd rule, per the Parlimentarian's ruling tonight

NEW: Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes DENIES the Trump administrations bid to detain Mr. Abrego pending trial in a SCATHING rebuke of the government's evidence. www.muellershewrote.com/p/judge-deni...

If the president does it, it's not a leak. He's just telling you.
