NEW: As video and news reports of immigrants and U.S. citizens being detained by masked men claiming to be ICE agents continue to dominate headlines and spark fears from coast to coast, Attorney General Pam Bondi told Congress she had no idea this was happening. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Incredibly embarrassing

Kevin Hassett: "If the Fed respects its independence, then it should pay attention to what Republicans are saying about Jay Powell ... policy actions suggest that he's a person who's doing basically whatever it is that Elizabeth Warren wants him to do."

"How could anybody vote for this?" -- Fox & Friends hosted Eric Adams this morning to basically endorse his campaign and team up with him to trash Mamdani

Mike Johnson in public: we're not cutting Medicaid :) Mike Johnson in private: the Medicaid cuts we're doing are going to cost us the House :(

Trump on Iran's nuclear capabilities: "It's gone for years ... CNN is scum. MSDNC is scum. The New York Times is scum. They're bad people. They're sick. And what they've done is they've tried to make this unbelievable victory into something less."

NEW: Duck Durbin addresses the Whistleblower letter accusing above of telling the courts to fuck off during Bove’s judicial nomination hearing.

Trump posted a “Bomb Iran” music video with these lyrics: “Went to a mosque. Gonna throw some rocks.” “Time to turn Iran into a parking lot.”

McCaul, like all the others in his party, is terrified of saying anything that reflects poorly on Trump. So he now lives in a world where “totally obliterated” also means “temporary setback” to Iran’s nuclear program

So many experts warned of this. CNN ‪‪@natashabertrand.bsky.social: Pentagon's "Defense Intelligence Agency has assessed that the core components of Iran's nuclear program are largely intact and that Iran's nuclear program has essentially only been set back by months."

Maria Salazar: I didn't think the leopard would eat the faces of MY constituents

Can we take a few minutes together to dig into the economics of immigration? This video is a little longer, but hopefully trades out a bit of heat for a bit more light.

Mike Johnson: "Many respected constitutional experts argue that the War Powers Act is itself unconstitutional. I'm persuaded by that argument. They think it's a violation of the Article 2 powers of the commander in chief. I think that's right."

EARHARDT: What do you say to the Democrats that are pushing this narrative that's not true that Republicans are cutting Medicare and Medicaid? MIKE JOHNSON: It's of course nonsense (The bill will in fact strip healthcare from tens of millions of people ... )

Trump: "Biden let a lot of super cells in, many from Iran. But hopefully we'll take care of them." (The term he was looking for is "sleeper cells")

Never let facts get in the way of delusions and the need to feed a bottomless ego.

Buddy Carter: "This is the golden age. I mean, look what has happened. The world is safer now. Israel is safer now. The US is safer now. Thanks to a president who understands how to use strength in order to achieve peace."

BERMAN: They still have enriched uranium that's not for civilian purposes? SCOTT PERRY: I wouldn't be surprised if some of it still exists B: They're still a terrorist regime? P: They absolutely are B: So there's still a terrorist regime in power w/enriched uranium? P: That's absolutely true

Trump’s Iran and Israel "ceasefire" online posts were made a few minutes before U.S. futures markets opening, sending NASDAQ futures up 150 points in under an hour, manipulation. Neither side had confirmed a ceasefire. Today Trump angrily cried: "they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing"

Katie Britt: "President Trump is gonna win the Nobel Peace Prize. No doubt."

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Leavitt: "We are confident that Iran's nuclear sites were completely and totally obliterated."

Chairman Mao is posting and seems agitated this morning

Leavitt: "Nobody knows what it means to accomplish peace through strength better than President Trump. He is the one who came up with that motto and that foreign policy doctrine."

Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale: “If they [Iranians] chant death to America for years, if they kill American soldiers, and then try to build a nuke, you should make it clear they can’t have a nuke. I don’t understand what this new ‘woke right’ is doing.” - posted 6/20/25 1/

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

Fox News is pre-blaming Biden for a terrorist attack

WELKER: Do you and President Trump trust the US intelligence community and its assessments? JD VANCE: Of course we trust our intelligence community, but we also trust our instincts

"When this president speaks, the world should listen" -- Pete Hegseth glorifies the genius of Dear Leader Trump for his Iran strikes

"They say with Trump accusation is confession. Having warned during the 2024 campaign that Joe Biden, then Kamala Harris, would trigger “world war three”, Trump is now offering a perilous test of that proposition." My take. www.ft.com/content/c689...

By the way, the US striking Iran’s nuclear facilities and infrastructure gives Russia the green light to strike Ukraine’s nuclear facilities & infrastructure. This is another reason it’s forbidden under international law. Trump is escalating danger everywhere.

Trump launching us into war with Iran is a flagrant abuse of power + an impeachable offense. The Framers were clear with the War Powers Clause in the Constitution: only Congress could take the nation into war. He must be impeached and removed from office. @fsfp.bsky.social www.impeachtrumpagain.org

We Are Nothing Like the Gestapo.

I wonder how many people realize that America is now literally at war *solely* because Trump hates black people Obama signed the Iran Nuclear Deal; Iran stopped enrichment; Trump ended the Deal to spite Obama; he was told enrichment would restart; it did This is *Trump’s* war

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

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.

On 6/20/25, Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale smeared Steve Bannon & Tucker Carlson—who oppose US intervention in the Israel/Iran war—as “this new Woke Right.” (The Israel/Iran war & “Woke Right” smear continue to fracture the MAGA coalition.) 1/

"This case highlights the significant threat posed to U.S. citizens by frequent ICE errors, which are exacerbated when local law enforcement agencies participate in immigration enforcement...” www.bet.com/article/6rdn...

NEW: Pope Leo’s newly appointed Bishop, Michael Pham, outside the court in San Diego: “We need to speak up for the voiceless in our society - and we will.” The video then shows masked ICE agents leaving without snatching anyone today. More of this resistance nationwide! 👏 (🎥 PSL San Diego)

Trump: "They should give me the Nobel Prize for Rwanda and if you look, the Congo, or you could say Serbia, Kosovo, you could say a lot of them. The big one is India and Pakistan. I should've gotten it four or five times."

"At Downey Memorial Christian church on Thursday, officers reportedly arrested a man in the parking lot then pointed a gun at senior pastor Tanya Lopez..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The fact that so many people think celebrating the end of slavery in the US is “DEI” is actually clarifying of what they mean when they use DEI. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/06/...
