IOW, more or less all the MAGAs

A religion that requires the strong-arm of the state to ram its views down the throats of unwilling people is a religion that isn't worth a damn.

Mean drunk

The United States is a nation beyond the rule of law. People are being kidnapped on the streets by men in masks. They are being disappeared and deported to foreign concentration camps. A Canadian died in their hands. We must demand full access and independent investigation of his mistreatment.

Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.

Yes, but they are also crackpots.

Mean drunk

Senator Murphy coming out of private briefing on the attack on Iran’s nuclear sites: It still appears that we have only set back the Iranian nuclear program by a handful of months… the allegations that we have obliterated their program just don’t seem to stand up…

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

Not sure it's starting to sink in yet

He commands his minions in Congress. The Founding Fathers would be shocked that a co-equal branch of govt is being commanded to do anything. Not what was written in the Constitution. “No one goes on vacation until it’s done,” Trump said in an all-caps post on Truth Social on Tuesday.

Unlawful retention of classified documents is back to being a crime, I see [via @emptywheel.bsky.social]

Mitch McConnell thinks that we’ll just “get over” stripping children and seniors of their healthcare while he enjoys the world class healthcare we pay for for him. Unbelievably deranged behavior.

"Forget about intelligence" isn't too great either, but all of those are quite on-brand.

Until a Democrat gets elected President again, of course. Then it will suddenly revert to "law of the land" status for him.

Jon Finer, one of the negotiators of the JCPoA: "To people who say, how can you trust Iran? You didn't have to trust Iran under [the JCPoA]. There were weapons inspectors... all over Iran's facilities, and they were saying right up until the minute that Trump pulled out that Iran was complying."

Bwahahahaha STFU YOU IDIOT..this is your fault for not stopping his nomination when you had the chance..RFK within six months has set up a eugenics project called MAHA..and you share the coming blame for the deaths to come

My own observation is that Trump’s chances of winning the Nobel Peace Prize decreased somewhat when he rolled into office threatening to invade Greenland, annex Canada, extort Ukraine, and seize the Panama Canal.

Yikes. Karoline Leavitt's statement basically completely confirms CNN's reporting. This is really bad for the White House and should be a major scandal. Trump lied. Again.

BREAKING: US Intelligence suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites. www.cnn.com/2025/06/24/p...

🚨 Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say: CNN Exclusive 🔗 www.cnn.com/2025/06/24/p...

Exactly 6 months ago, @kamalaharris.com told us the truth.

Could ICE officials be prosecuted in TN for an illegal abortion for this incident?? Just asking

LENOIR CITY, TN — pregnant fiancée of an American lost her baby in ICE detention after they denied her prenatal care after pleading for help for days. (@ltgovmcnally & @lowellrussell21’s district) Unimaginable cruelty. @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

Breaking News: The U.S. strikes on Iran set the country’s nuclear program back by only a few months, a classified report said.

CNN: Three sources tell CNN that according to an early U.S. Intelligence assessment, the U.S. Military strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country's nuclear program and likely only set it back a few months

Maybe the kid will write a leadership book one of these days titled "Sure, Whatever" or something like that

Halloween is going to be incredibly stressful this year, I think

We knew China's rush to install solar and wind was going to be wild but WOW😮. The solar panels & wind turbines China installed in May alone, in a single month, will generarate as much electricity as: -Poland -Sweden -Norway -the UAE -North Carolina&Maryland or -Washington&Wyoming

You almost couldn't pre-script an episode of "The Apprentice" more thoroughly

😕

Imagine Iran conducting a COUNTERSTRIKE (not even a first strike, WE did that to THEM) on US territory and proclaiming, "we're not at war with the US."

The number of times I've thought about this exchange in the past week.

They should not assume that if they succeed, they will be the ones Jesus takes up.

Iran might see that differently

HIMES: “I had not seen any intelligence as a member of the gang of eight to suggest that Iran had taken the decision to build a weapon. I don't think there's any intelligence out there that suggests that that's true.”

Donald Trump, a weak and dangerously reckless president, has put the United States on a path to a war in the Middle East that the country does not want, the law does not allow, and our security does not demand.

Take off those masks, and let us compare the faces to J6 felons who were pardoned. My bet would be on several matches.

Some thoughts on the current situation with Iran. Screenshot from the bad place.

We don’t know if we’re safer today—but we do know this president never made the case that Iran posed an imminent nuclear threat.

They’re preemptively trying to blame Biden for any attacks on Americans that result from Trump’s war. Absolutely desperate.

So the difference between the Iranian parliament and the US Congress now is that the Iranian parliament exercises a say in approving acts of war??

Senior officials tell the NYT that they do not know the whereabouts of Iran’s stockpile of near-bomb-grade uranium. JSOC trains extensively on the counterproliferation mission, but the idea that we’ve potentially got a loose nuke situation in the Middle East is fucking insane.

Iran says it is not sure if it can trust America. Many Americans are not sure they can trust America.

They only give it to peacemakers.

NYT: The Israeli military, in an initial analysis, believes the heavily fortified nuclear site at Fordo has sustained serious damage from the American strike but has not been completely destroyed. The officials also said it appeared Iran had moved equipment, including uranium, from the site.
