I hope New Yorkers take note that Cuomo is the only candidate refusing to stand up to Trump’s goon squad

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

However unsure we may be about what the ultimate outcome will be, we may rest morally certain that Donald Trump has absolutely no idea what he’s doing from one moment to the next. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/u...

I.C.E. is arresting lawyers. See how he’s arguing they “don’t have the authority” to arrest him, AS they are arresting him and taking him away? Remember this when you reflexively reply about how “illegal” all this is. We know it’s illegal—the Rule of Law Is just dead now…so..

The U.S. is currently seeking Farsi translators who will eventually be forcibly deported to somewhere that will murder them for helping the U.S. Join the winning team! #Satire

All of these folks out here saying, “I voted for Trump, but I didn’t think it would be like this.” I’m not buying it. They knew exactly what they were voting for. He claimed immigrants were eating cats and dogs. FFS!

Trump leaves the g7 summit early... if it were Biden, the media would say he was tired and needs to rest because he's old... Trump is declining and he's a danger to this country's safety.

As much as I covered Biden, we never had such blatant disregard of basic truth presented on the global stage with NO follow up from the US media The int media is LAUGHING. Really, laughing.. all of them. Gov officials too

Just so I’m clear… Terry Moran got fired, but Mike Lee is still a sitting US senator?

Trump directs war planes to the Middle East. These are in transit. This is confirmed by Germans. I am seeking more confirmations

He needs a war.

Thank you, Madam Speaker.

for all of the praise of law enforcement we've seen since Saturday, it's now clear cops had at least two opportunities to prevent Vance Boelter from murdering Melissa Hortman and her husband but failed to do so.

I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.

we're getting cucked by Canada this is humiliating

Covid is a social justice issue. Respirators cost money. HEPA filters cost money. Tests cost money. Vaccines cost money. Paid time off is rare. Affordable child care is non existent Covid disproportionately impacts those who are already the most marginalized Mask up & protect your community

Oh, for fukcs sake… This man continuously embarrasses us on the world stage And Republicans from every level in our country still flock to him, defend him, and kiss the ring because they are for some unknown reason, afraid of him He is a toddler in a 300lb body and he acts and talks like it

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

I once posted on Twitter that any white person who reflexively opposed antifa would likely have been opposed to the civil rights demonstrations of the sixties. People got VERY mad, but I was just summarizing the data.

We’ve seen this before. Charlottesville. Pittsburgh. El Paso. Buffalo. Kenosha. Allen. Jacksonville. Lakewood. Austin. Over and over again, the pattern plays out with numbing regularity: white men radicalized by conspiracy, drenched in grievance, and armed with fantasies of civil war.

Katie Bauer is a veteran who refuses to standby and watch Trump use the military to aid in his grab for power She knew she might get arrested while protesting this weekend, but she was shocked when the cop who detained her behaved that way he did She wrote about it for @huffpost.com Personal

I caution people when they believe that Trump will actually order imm agencies to stop kidnapping farm & hospitality workers. He often claims he does not make these decisions. Stop believing what they say, & focus on their actions.

Didn’t watch a ton of it. But the parade seemed embarrassingly low energy. Not saying I’m expecting it but cld say Hegs getting canned over it. He’s definitely yelling at someone tonight.

Seriously, MSNBC’s David Noriega and Jacob Soboroff were doing such great reporting from the main LA protest, from different spots, that they showed how law enforcement instigated trouble that just wasn’t happening.

@davidnoriega.bsky.social reporting on @msnbc.com that LA Sheriff officers are the aggressors in current actions near the Federal building in Los Angeles www.msnbc.com/the-weekend-...

My understanding was that it was for all federal agents & especially the immigration enforcement agencies bc of BORTAC & ICE-SRT behavior of kidnapping US citizens & assault. But y’all realize we are past the point of laws right? They just assassinated a democrat.

I love this so much they wanted a big counterprotest sooooo bad so they would have an excuse to do some violent bullshit and instead they are just squeaking their way down empty silent streets looking like huge losers. NO ONE CAME TO HIS BIRTHDAY PARTY. he is going to lose his mind

Old man at the resistance today, Bartlesville, Oklahoma. We had a great turnout and there were many cars driving by that honked, people in them waved, yelled, and cheered.
