Just so everyone knows, Elon did it too. His tweet is also still up.

Q: "Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon." Trump: "I don't care what she said. I think they were very close to having one."

BREAKING: Jury finds MyPillow founder Mike Lindell defamed former employee for a leading voting equipment company.

The Asshole-in-Chief.

Context note: DOJ doesn’t turn over evidence to Congress if they have a viable investigation in the works.

Both sides news coverage is killing democracy and there is no place where it is more dangerous that in how legacy media covers the GOP attacks on free and fair elections. For my latest and to access all Democracy Docket premium content, sign-up now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

GOV. WALZ: “This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way we deal with our political differences.”

Minnesota Star Tribune debunks each of the lies and conspiracies posted on social media from Mike Lee, Elon Musk, and all the other usual suspects who do this EVERY time. www.startribune.com/fact-check-d...

Melissa Hortman just days before her tragic assasination

Utah voters: Are these really your values? Mike Lee is the best you can do?

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

We, the people, have spoken!

Can’t believe we’ve lost Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. She was a consummate Speaker who led her caucus brilliantly and achieved so much for Minnesota. I’ve campaigned with Melissa throughout the state and was forever impressed by her levelheaded, yet passionate, leadership. (1/2)

“No Kings Day”: A compilation

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

These are assassinations to flip control of the Minnesota House (was 67-67) and Senate (was 34-33).

Day 1205 of my 3 day war. Hitting 1 million casualties in a pointless war on Russia's national day is perfect symbol of what I've done to Russia. I remain a master strategist.

Iran about to find out what eastern Europe already knows.

It will be amusing to watch Donald try to persuade Iran to give up their nukes at the same as Donald supports Russia's invasion of a country that gave up their nukes in exchange for a US assurance they wouldn't be invaded. www.axios.com/2025/06/13/t...

Is this the golden age? Looks more like a shit show. I’ll discuss with @oliviaoftroye.com and @chuckrocha.bsky.social live at 4p ET on Substack and catch it later on YouTube.

The joke of the weekend is going to be a man who was so scared that he had his daddy keep him from having to fight in a war...and is now having a military parade to try and convince people that he is brave. #BoneSpurs

No one “collects” Medicaid People are “covered” by Medicaid Words have meanings for a reason

Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., U.S. soldiers are rehearsing for Trump’s wasteful military parade tomorrow, which is being held to celebrate his birthday (and allegedly to mark 250 years of the U.S. Army). All this to soothe the ego of a five-time draft dodger. Embarrassing.

It’s not a game, dipshit.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

New in PN: We've reached the indicting the opposition stage of fascism "The charges against McIver are thin, to say the least. And none of this can be separated from the intensifying chaos around us, as ICE thugs rampage in the streets and Republicans target Democratic politicians."

Goldman: "These are people doing in the right way, who are nonviolent, noncriminal, and they're getting arrested. So what message does that send? Obviously it sends the message, 'Go further underground. Don't appear in court. Don't pay your taxes' ... that's just going to make the public less safe."

Exactly.

👏👏👏

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

It's Monday. You might hate your job but at least you're not a Russian general about to explain to me how 1/3 of my strategic aviation got blown up in a morning by some cheap Alibaba drones.

They planned this for 18 months. The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed.
