New in PN: Trump’s reckless Iran strikes could backfire spectacularly "America has entered few wars with less forethought, less deliberation, and more contempt for the public. Trump has recklessly endangered the country and world. It’s not much consolation that he may also have endangered himself."

Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

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)

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

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.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

1. Last week was one of the most tumultuous and chaotic in recent memory—war in the Middle East, protests in LA, and the military patrolling U.S. streets. This chaos is a direct result of Donald Trump's erratic leadership and undermines the central premise of his candidacy

Has Mike Lee gone insane?

Utah voters: Are these really your values? Mike Lee is the best you can do?

For the last time, this guy was far, far from being a liberal Democratic operative. He was a pretty far-right Christian nationalist type who homeschooled his kids and opposed abortion. Read on: twincities.com/2025/06/15/f...

PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Wandered back over to Twitter to see coverage of Trumparade vs NoKings and was immediately reminded of why I left that toxic cesspool.

My day: Wake up: MAGA active shooter on the loose Afternoon: MAGA hits peaceful protestor with car in VA Later: MAGA active shooter in SLC Utah No Kings

SLC turned out. 10000 people marching peacefully but loudly to make them hear us. And all of it ruined because some motherfucker with a gun decided that he wanted to do some target shooting into a crowd of people.

Just checking in to say that I’m fine. We had a beautiful, peaceful march in SLC tonight. Maybe 20k people with kids & dogs & flags. About an hour into the march, yet another man with yet another gun shot someone. This is the way we live now. I’ll post more tomorrow. #NoKingsDay

Thousands for an impromptu rally in SLC. Saturday is going to be big

Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.

🤔

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

🔥 @RepMcGovern: “THIS IS NOT POLICY. THIS IS THEFT… done under the cover of night.” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

The Dow Jones is on pace for its worst April since 1932. Are we feeling great yet?

The fact that I know more about Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez’s 11-minute space trip than I do about Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s decades-long crime spree shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Dear Dems: Polling shows only *generalized* approval of Trump on immigration, but broad opposition to the lawless specifics. If you don't engage on Abrego Garcia and other illegal kidnappings, you only *help* Trump subsume all that under "keeping out illegals." newrepublic.com/article/1941...

Facts matter

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Supreme Court, if you're listening . . . SENATOR CHRIS VAN HOLLEN: "Has the Trump administration made any efforts to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return to the United States?" US EMBASSY IN EL SALVADOR: "No."

Van Hollen: "This case is not only about one man, as important as that is. It is about protecting fundamental freedoms and the fundamental principle in the Constitution for due process that protects everyone who resides in America."

You know the *only* reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure. Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.

pretty crazy watching the american president on live tv in the oval office planning the construction of concentration camps in a foreign country to house americans

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Salt Lake City, Utah, showed up for Bernie and AOC.
