Will Donald Trump side with the war hawks or the no new wars crowd? Either way, MAGA is splintering.

Border Czar Tom Homan: "We're gonna continue doing work site enforcement operations, even on farms and hotels."

Wake up, working MAGA. Trump doesn’t GAF about any of you.

Today is a day to both reflect on America’s original sin and celebrate the triumph of liberation and freedom. It’s also a time to think about and commit to the work that still needs to be done to achieve true equality for all. Wishing everyone a good Juneteenth

If Trump retires “peacefully to enjoy his cryptocurrency wealth, his presidency will still go down in history as the embodiment of injustice, malfeasance, cruelty and transgression.” He certainly should be impeached and convicted, though he almost certainly won’t be. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/o...

Well, she certainly got herself into a pickle.

This happened a few days ago - I’m glad mainstream media finally is reporting on it. It’s a honking red flag for all Trump critics.

Here are five testimonies of men and women from four different states recollecting—decades later—how they and their families heard and responded to the news of their freedom

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Trump officially issues another "What's a law, really?" TikTok executive order — ignoring the single-delay limit in the law, let alone the conditions required for that delay.

Wanna feel old? This was just five months ago.

In a time of global uncertainty and ever shifting tides, it is nice of Musk to provide us with this small bit of dependable consistency.

DHS wants 72 hours notice before inspections of detention facilities. Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

I keep saying this, but a fundamental problem with this moment is that the two other branches are rolling over and playing dead, and the founders just did not think that people would do that! www.lawdork.com/p/trump-is-s...

Sen. Rand Paul: “Tariffs are paid by Americans. They’re taxes. They shouldn’t be instituted by emergency rule…Tariffs should pass Congress. They shouldn’t be done by executive order.”

Yesterday, BEFORE Elon blew shit up again, Mark Kelly asked Whiskey Pete Hegseth whether he gutted the Pentagon's testing office so they couldn't tell him that Golden Dome, which is expected to pay Elon billions, wouldn't work. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8Qm...

Comforting that at this period in history Trump’s counter-terrorism chief is focused on flags.

"We’ve got a lot of work to do...to convince people that Democrats aren’t, you know, demons and eating babies trying to make everyone have an abortion" said a Utah state senator. Mike Lee could still be in a wee bit of trouble. New from @lauren-egan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/is-mike-le...

Trump left the G7 summit early because he is mad at Macron and Zelenskyy- FT

1. In the wake of Trump threats, multiple trans clinics in safe states have stopped providing care. Parents feel abandoned as governors apply no pressure. One therapist reported an uptick in suicidal ideation among those denied care. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

TLDR: They are gaslighting. — Parsing ICE’s mixed-up, hard-to-believe assault claims wapo.st/4l7a1ch

WATCH: “One of the cruelest bills ever to be put on the floor of the house.” @repgreglandsman.bsky.social on the terrible Republican rescissions bill that makes DOGE cuts permanent by taking away various forms of foreign aid, hurting children and families.

These people aren’t afraid Mamdani would be a bad mayor. We have a ridiculous, corrupt, incompetent mayor right now and the city is hanging in OK. They’re declaring all-out war because they’re afraid Mamdani (or Lander) might be a good mayor.

Incredible slip

The New York Times CONTINUES to release piece after piece spreading disinformation on trans care and dancing on the graves of trans youth in the wake of the SCOTUS decision. Just brought to my attention, from their morning newsletter. Disgusting. This isn't even their big hit piece today.

So much for MAHA.

Happy Juneteenth to all, especially my Black friends for whom it has an existential meaning. But Juneteenth 1865 is a reminder to White people that NOTHING like what came before can EVER be tolerated in this nation again. And it’s on US to push back hard. The Confederates were WRONG & so is MAGA.

THE VIEW: Do you feel safe as an elected official in this political climate? JASMINE CROCKETT: No. Not at all.

“I think what we see in ICE is a rogue agency,” Dem mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani told me tonight, after the shocking and violent arrest of fellow Dem mayoral candidate Brad Lander in NYC

It’s actually terrifying that instead of passing laws to require ID & badges for law enforcement @marshablackburn, Speaker Sexton, Jack Johnson & the @TNGOP are going to criminalize transparency and put the law behind masked vigilantes in unmarked vans disappearing people by force.

De-Stalinization was the beginning of two cycles of liberalization in the Soviet Union: in the late 1950s and in the late 1980s. There is a certain symbolism in the fact that overt re-Stalinization marks the final de-liberalization of post-Soviet Russia.

On Saturday Miranda Devine of the NY Post dismissed the No Kings protests and even said demonstrations in Florida were canceled due to lack of interest. I found a local ABC affiliate that featured thousands of No Kings protesters across Florida.

FLASHBACK: Trump called out Bush’s (and Bibi’s) lies about WMD’s, propelling his campaign at the time — maybe someone should show him these clips?

It’s almost 2am and Trump is posting BS about his poll numbers.
