The Mike Lee posts are beyond depraved. There's a large cohort of Republicans in Congress who know *exactly* what they're doing, who are, in some ways, worse than the delusional true believers. He's spreading blatant lies about an assassination—which makes future violence more likely—for clicks.

I do love that we’re just re-using plots from the Bush administration now. “We have to stop Iran from getting WMDs” bro you changed like one letter

This campaign is about showing up and meeting folks where they are. It was great to go on Reddit last week and answer questions directly from voters across SC. www.counton2.com/news/south-c...

still astonishing to me that our country is purging & punishing the people who saved millions of lives just a few years ago while giving their power to the ones who killed millions.

Honestly, feels like Marvel is kind of running out of ideas in phase 6

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

There’s a lot of things Fetterman has done and said that I haven’t entirely loved. Calling for American military involvement in Iran? You gotta go.

Thank you, Madam Speaker.

We absolutely must not forget what this administration did to Senator Padilla, because it tells us what they are willing to do to us.

Dear RCMP, We have an illegal American felon in our country. Please arrest and jail. I want to thank you for your attention into this matter. 🇨🇦

LAPD shoves an unhoused woman to the ground so hard her skull cracks open and she’s knocked unconscious. They then carry her to the curb, prop her up and abandon her. Witnesses took her to the ER.

The moment when the Russian drone directly hit a residential building in Kyiv appeared online. Russians continue to fight against civilians.

as someone prone to directly confronting people for stuff they say online, that from lee is the face of someone who did not expect to be confronted for something he said online

Tina Smith on Mike Lee: "I went to him and I said, 'Your message on social media showed the image of the man who killed my friend ... and your message is, this is what happens? You need to take responsibility and accountability ...' And I wanted him to hear that from me directly."

Shoigu's statements after his meeting with Kim Jong Un: ◾️5,000 North Korean construction workers will be sent to Russia "to restore infrastructure objects destroyed by Kyiv"; ◾️1,000 sappers will also be sent to Russia to de-mine Russian territory;

We barely made it in 2009 on 7.25....AND WE STILL THERE..🤔

Anyone who supports this war with Iran is officially one of the baddies. You can tune them out and if they are an elected official, it's time to primary them. Enough of hateful war hawks who sow chaos to feed the military industrial complex and their bellies.

They don’t believe in any gods and can’t read the Bible. How can they possibly do the morally correct thing?

Last night was so difficult. During the night and in the morning, we message family, friends. We ask them: How are you? They reply: we're alive. We go to work. Kyiv stands tall. Tomorrow is a day of mourning for all the victims of last night.

“.. All he wanted was to celebrate his 79th birthday with a massive military parade that made him look powerful, scary and beloved.” @usatoday.com @rexhuppke.bsky.social www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

For the third time since I took office, we're funding above the required pension payment — creating a $75M reserve fund for expected costs of adjusting to the Social Security Wage Base. With this fix in effect, we’re protecting taxpayers and state workers from future shortfalls

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

The new @lastweektonight.com piece on juvenile incarceration featured several @ProPublica stories. First up was our 2021 investigation with @wpln.bsky.social about young Black kids in Tennessee jailed for a crime that doesn't exist: www.propublica.org/article/blac...

Russian Tass state media has just published the following on its Telegram channel: "The parliament of Iran has approved a strategic partnership agreement with Russia. This was reported by the Embassy of the Islamic Republic in Russia." Very curious timing.

⚡️ Ukrainian drone instructors are training Estonia’s Defense League, sharing frontline tactics, strike drone tech, and night ops skills to help NATO allies prep for future threats.

living in Kyiv be like: after night of explosions and Russian drones flying around you building, but thanks to air defense it’s new day, you are still here, so you get up and go get yourself cup of coffee ☕️

I lost my dad on Father’s Day 2019. Doesn’t matter how long the time goes by, it’s never any easier for me. I’m grateful for the gift of my wonderful father. He was the best of us. Happy Father’s Day to you amazing dads, father figures, and folks who are stepping up in all of the ways. ♥️

Bayern Munich fans at the Club World Cup held up a banner saying "world football is more poorly governed than before" and "smash FIFA". They are not going out on a limb here. A 🧵 on the experts and organisations that recently said the same thing...

Important: Trump's suspension of deportation raids on agriculture/hospitality infuriated many inside WH, reports NYT. MAGA influencers also angry. Again, the real story here is that mass deportations have driven a schism in MAGA that Dems can exploit, as I tried to argue in the piece below.

Bizarrely, it appears that Trump’s nominee to lead the FAA has been lying about holding a commercial pilot license www.politico.com/news/2025/06... #aviation

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

They hate science and academia but still want to claim their legitimacy

With Tish James as our Attorney General, New Yorkers have a champion for the rule of law, a fighter who stands up for working people over greedy corporations, and a leader who has taken on Donald Trump and Andrew Cuomo—and won. I am so proud to have her support.

Thank you Tim

When NO KINGS reigns over your parade. #SAD 🤣

Russia will demand that Ukraine get rid of weapons supplied by the West to end the war- Russian deputy foreign minister Grushko "All this surplus must be destroyed.All the international algorithms are well-known. They [weapons] must be reduced, recycled, and that must be guaranteed," Grushko said

🇰🇵 ⚰️ UK intelligence: North Korean forces have suffered over 6,000 casualties in Russia's Kursk Oblast

❤️❤️

🚨 Russian forces shelled ten settlements in Donetsk, killing six and injuring four.

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

After 3 years in Russian captivity, Elena’s husband from Mariupol is finally home. He wasn’t a soldier—just a man who joined the city’s territorial defense to protect his home from Russian forces. For that, he was taken, tortured, and held without rights. Like thousands of other Ukrainians.

Patriot Front crashed Springfield, MO Pride festival. Driving a Penske truck. U-Haul banned Patriot Front from renting their vehicles. It’s time for people to tell Penske to do the same.

BROWNIE IS MISSING IN THE BRONX: last seen at 167th St and Hall Place. He's 70 pounds and chipped: 985113005629584. If you've seen or found him please call 888-466-3242 and PLEASE RT AMERICA!

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.
