President Trump will extend a deadline for the owner of the social media platform TikTok to find a U.S. buyer so it can continue to operate in the country, the White House says.

Since January, the Fed has stood on the sidelines, keeping its benchmark lending rate unchanged at about 4.4%.

An American citizen was among the 23 killed by Putin's latest strikes.

Utah Senator Mike Lee is facing major backlash for his reaction to the shootings in Minnesota.

This is a recount from a reporter who attended Trump’s parade. You should check it out. She describes Trump’s supporters enduring “real misery” before the parade even started. Contrast that w/the millions of us who enthusiastically endured heat and rain to protest Trump and stand up for democracy.

Senator Mike Lee posts prayers when a Republican has an allergic reaction but posts jokes when a Democrat is murdered in their home. He’s going to Hell.

Brown shirts didn’t hide their faces. You gotta work hard to be lower than the brown shirts

Let's be clear: Trump is thinking of entering a war against Iran without Congressional authorization or legal basis because his birthday parade was a dud and he thinks the war will produce arousing pictures for him to look at on Fox News.

(🚨) This is as important a report as PROOF has ever published, here on the brink of a war that quite possibly became inevitable—and by design—many, many years ago.

When folks in North Dakota hit the streets…you know it’s bad. This is my candidate for the sign of the day. (Wish I had gotten his name—apologies)

Don’t underestimate how Donald being pissed at the military for humiliating him with its shabby military parade is factoring into his current talk of putting them in harm’s way. He *is* that petulant.

So, basically, everything MAGA said last year about presidents who start wars was an enormous lie?

I reget to inform you that Tulsi Gabbard was briefly right about something.

"The best I can do is $50 million for a Trump Gold Card - plus, you'll have to buy a pair of sneakers, my cellphone, and my Chinese Bible."

I’m about to speak on the Senate floor to memorialize the devastating loss of Melissa and Mark Hortman. Tune in here ⬇️

Hey, Mike. As someone whose wife barely survived an assassination attempt, let me tell you: Your joke isn't funny and you have an entire state to apologize to.

This, ladies & gentlemen, is fascism. Brad Lander is the NYC Comptroller & a NYC mayoral candidate. He has been manhandled & detained by ICE. Call your 2 Senators & representative at 202-224-3121 demand Congressional oversight immediately. If it can happen to him, it can surely happen to you.

Under what constitutional authority? Under what constitutional authority? I repeat, under what constitutional authority?

WATCH: “We are not the enemy, sir. We have different morals. We have different values.” Rep. Jason Crow—U.S. Army Vet—challenged Sec. Hegseth directly after he used language that blurs the line between our military and extremists. Leadership matters. So does the tone it sets.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) falsely claimed the Minnesota shooter who killed Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband was a leftist. The shooter, Vance Boelter, was anti-abortion, voted for Trump, and had a hit list of ~45, of Democrats and abortion providers. Sen. Tina Smith is on the list.

Mike Lee is my Utah senator Can confirm he’s a lickspittle to rich assholes Anything they want, he’s all over it

Tell him, Nancy!

Not good enough. He needs to resign or be expelled.

Frankly, "going to war because he thought it will make for good TV" would be the least surprising development of a Trump presidency.

It won't happen But for the record House Democrats should throw up articles of impeachment KKK BARBIE

When Teslas matter more than lives.

“We are not criminals. We are human.” He lost his job. His home. He is on the street. A young girl with cancer stands beside him, with little time left. This is what Trump’s hate does. It destroys families. It destroys lives. We must stand up and demand better. #Voices4Victory

Allowing Netanyahu to drag us into another endless war in the Middle East would be a catastrophic error by President Trump and Republicans in Congress. Every lawmaker needs to ring the alarm against U.S. military action in Iran. Only Congress has the authority to declare war.

Terry Moran gets fired for telling the truth – yet Mike Lee does not get censored for spreading dangerous (stochastic terrorism) and inflammatory lies. This is America we live in – and it's the America we must never accept.

Trump's pardons cost victims and taxpayers $1.3 billion, House Judiciary Committee Democrats' review says www.cbsnews.com/news/trumps-...

I am not afraid of Donald Trump. I am not afraid of Tom Homan. I will stand up for the people of Illinois.

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

Moulton: It turns out the U.S. Army is not great at doing Soviet-style or North Korean-style parades, because that’s not what people sign up to do… Imagine how much veteran housing you could build for $40 million. You could help a lot of vets with that kind of money. And this parade helped nobody.

Trump on calling Tim Walz on the deaths: “I think the Gov of MN is so whacked out. I’m not calling. Why would I call him? The guy doesn’t have a clue. He’s a mess. I could be nice and call, but why would I waste time? Trump is a sociopath who prioritizes hateful revenge over humanity.

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...
