When you lie about your credentials, your drinking, and your leaking of classified war plans, why would anyone trust you about the air strikes?

A federal jury has awarded $500,000 to the widow and estate of Metropolitan Police Officer Jeffrey Smith, the police officer who killed himself nine days after he helped defend the U.S. Capitol from a mob of rioters.

Just a reminder

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

Wow!

ABC! Rank 5 but not Cuomo!!

one way to make sense of the position of the republicans on the supreme court is that they do not believe there is such a thing as a legitimate objection to the actions of a republican president, no matter how deranged, depraved, or anti-constitutional www.stevevladeck.com/p/161-the-co...

Today’s unsigned, unexplained #SCOTUS ruling clearing the way for removals of migrants to third countries without any additional process is a disaster—not just on the merits, but because of the government misbehavior that it not only refuses to punish, but effectively rewards. Me, via “One First”:

"Do you want America to be at war with Iran?" No: 85% Yes: 5% YouGov / June 22, 2025

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Trump is once against arsonist and fireman. If he hadn't pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal (which our own State Dept. certified Iran was in compliance with), we wouldn't be here.

The authority to wage war rests with Congress. This impeachable action is the reckless behavior of a man granted near-total immunity who feels unleashed to do anything.

Congress? You awake?

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.

Reuters: US JUDGE BLOCKS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FROM REQUIRING 20 DEMOCRATIC-LED STATES TO COOPERATE WITH IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT TO OBTAIN TRANSPORTATION GRANT FUNDING

If you’re under 30, you weren’t even born the last time Andrew Cuomo lived here. This is your city. Vote like it.

New book drop…

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Brad is an incredible public servant and this is absolutely horrifying

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

City of Miami Commission votes 3-2, with all votes supplied by Cuban-American commissioners, in favor of executing a 287(g) immigration enforcement agreement between the City of Miami Police Department and ICE. Hundreds of Miamians showed up to speak against a 287(g) agreement.

CENSURE MIKE LEE TOMORROW MORNING!!!!!!

A win! A federal judge has ordered the government to restore hundreds of NIH grants slashed by the Trump administration, ruling the cuts were discriminatory against minorities and LGBTQ individuals. The judge said he’d have to be “blind” not to see the discrimination and declared the cuts illegal.

Trump attacked LA and this led to the largest single day demonstration in US history. Now he’s attacking every ‘blue’ city. The next march will be over 20 million people.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

When you order your #militaryparade at Temu... O dear, how sad, never mind. What's next? 😂 #dumptrump #nokings

Rubio…this you? @SecRubio

Listen to this great American. This nation is privileged to have a man of this character in the United States Senate. Thank you @padilla.senate.gov. We stand with you.

🚨 Your US SENATOR should ABSOLUTELY confront the DHS SECRETARY 👺 when she IS TELLING YOU she’s there to… 🚩 LIBERATE YOUR CITY FROM ITS ELECTED GOVERNMENT 🚩
