NEW: @dgcomedy.bsky.social and I kinda lose our minds today if I’m being honest. Plus, I get to talk with @bbkogan.bsky.social about budget reconciliation, and @annabower.bsky.social joins me for good trouble. News, with swearing: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

BREAKING: Emil Bove - whose judicial confirmation hearing is tomorrow - told lawyers to tell the courts to “fuck off” if they ordered the planes to El Salvador to turn around - per whistleblower Erez Reuveni. Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

NEW. Trump has brought his war on truth to the Iran conflict. In my OUR LAND newsletter, I examine how he paved the way to war with false and erratic statements. That raises the question: If negotiations proceed, how can any government trust him? link.motherjones.com/public/40406...

this is an insane, bizarre state of affairs in which no one knows who's at war with whom, all stemming from the fact that the president is a brain-damaged moron who doesn't know how anything works and lies constantly, which the news refuses to relay and must somehow write around

FLORIDA 🤬 People are sick if they think this is okay. What kind of immigrants are they planning to dump on “Alligator Alcatraz”? Because in Los Angeles they’re snatching flower-selling grandmas and men washing cars. These are human beings who deserve due process, not this cruelty.

I know this is going to surprise everyone but President Big Mac and his legion of incompetent brown shirts did not, in fact, manage to secure a viable ceasefire. Let's hear it for the pathetic "we demand a Nobel Peace Prize" idiots on cable news.

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”:

WATCH: “He was cutting grass.” Soboroff & Wallace on the sickening beating of the father of 3 Marines, and how @joerogan says he wouldn’t have signed up if he had know it would be like this, “tearing the fabric of the community”. (But he should have known)

NEW: A 12th voting House Republican, Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio, signed on to co-sponsor a resolution that says Congress "should take all appropriate measures" to make sure the U.S. Postal Service remains an independent federal agency and "not subject to privatization" www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

I honestly think Trump just declared the ceasefire in hopes everyone would just go along with it. Dude is not mentally well.

Former Trump lawyer Emil Bove who was “willing to ignore court orders in order to fulfill the president’s aggressive deportation campaign” per a whistle-blower” has a confirmation for a 3rd circuit judgeship Wednesday, a move widely seen as fastracking him for SCOTUS www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

We need to start pushing back—legally If they’re masked, unmarked, and flashing Amazon gear, report it for what it is: an attempted kidnapping by law enforcement impersonators. 🎥 Record. 📍 Share location. 📞 Call the police. “ICE vest” is not an ID.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

Florida is building a new migrant detention center nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz,” converting an airfield deep in the Everglades into one of the Trump administration’s most ominous additions to its immigration crackdown. FDT!

There’s a lot going on, and it seems like every week, #SCOTUS grants another Trump emergency application. But last night’s ruling in the third-country removal case stands out as especially problematic—not just for what it greenlights, but for the defiance of lower courts it necessarily condones:

Today’s news roundup: -Trump rebukes both Israel & Iran, says both sides broke truce and specifically warns Israel “do not drop those bombs” -FBI warns of possible retaliation by Iran -Supreme Court, for now, allows Trump to deport migrants to ‘third countries’ 👇 www.justsecurity.org/115392/early...

CARTOON OF THE DAY… 🇺🇸

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

This is the kind of excessive force case DOJ routinely prosecutes. They should open an investigation here, based on the misconduct not the victims status.

Just re-sharing this utterly horrifying news from just 2 DAYS AGO which got lost in the news because of, you know, another war in the Middle East. This is the modern GOP and conservative movement, folks. Look at it. There's no economic anxiety. It's racism. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/u...

KTLA - Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all US Marines, pepper-sprayed and punched in the face by alleged federal immigration officers while he was working as a landscaper at an IHOP. He was then forced into the back of an unmarked car in Santa Ana.

In LA, we have the right to film law enforcement in public spaces, as long as we do not interfere. Arturo Hermosillo says he was arrested for doing exactly that. He was in his van when he saw an older woman, a local tamale vendor, lying on the ground during an immigration raid & started recording.

NEW: The DHS has issued a heightened terror threat for Americans. Good thing we have that 22 year old former gardener in charge of counterterrorism and DHS is busy with mass deportation. www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisor...

BREAKING: A judge DENIED the government's motion to detain Kilmar Abrego Garcia pending trial: “The Court will give Abrego the due process that he is guaranteed.” Background www.allrisenews.com/p/abrego-ice...

Sen. Bernie Sanders: "The only entity that can take this country to war is the U.S. Congress. The President does not have the right." "The American people do not want more war, more death."

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon.

"We don't have an answer as to what happens the decade after." Ayman Mohyeldin reflects on remarks by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak about the potential long term fallout of a possible regime change in Iran.

Mr. “Now new wars” just fucking bombed Iran WITHOUT congressional authority. Congrats MAGA.

“The problem we face is we haven’t destroyed knowledge, we haven’t destroyed materials, and we haven’t destroyed equipment. This hasn’t set Iran back nearly as far as some have suggested.” - James Acton, ABC News

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

Some insiders have theorized that the White House installed Fugate to oversee a pivot away from traditional counterterrorism and to steer resources toward MAGA-friendly sheriffs and border security projects before eventually shuttering operations. By @hannahallam.bsky.social‬

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

Powell: Increases in tariffs this year are likely to push up prices and weigh on economic activity

HIRONO: If ordered by the president to shoot peaceful protesters in the legs, would you carry it out? HEGSETH: Of course I reject the premise of your question HIRONO: Considering that the president in his first term actually ordered such a thing, it's not a premise you can reject
