Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

More of this, please. Thank you.

"This strike is a reminder to the world that russia spurns a ceasefire and chooses to kill." Volodymyr Zelenskyy honored the memory of those killed by russia in a merciless attack on Kyiv. #RussiaIsATerroristState

Peace be upon us.

Trump has increasingly usurped the power of Congress. If there were ever a time for the legislative branch to stand up for itself, now would be the time. Congress needs to step up and do its job. Kudos to Bernie.

We must prevent Iran from ever having a nuclear weapon, and support Israel’s ability to defend itself. But the President cannot declare war on Iran or launch strikes against it without Congressional approval. Congress must not cede that authority to this or any other president.

Natural disasters don't spare voters from either party. And our response must be equally nonpartisan. Someone needs to tell the president he is supposed to represent all Americans. And to stop making life more difficult for thousands of Californians trying to recover.

It took Netanyahu 29 years, but he finally found an American president who was itching to go to war with him against Iran.

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.

We were promised peace through strength and we got wars from incompetence.

Artists worldwide are choosing Kyiv as the backdrop for their music videos, and it’s easy to see why. With the city’s edge, history, and raw beauty, Kyiv offers quite a setting — genuine and fresh, without being polished to a perfection. Which one is your favorite?

"If we don't knock the predator's teeth out he won't stop." In an interview with @newsmax.com, Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke about how putin is trying to strip Ukrainians of their freedom — even when it comes to faith. According to the President, this isn't something for the state to decide.

We’ve truly lost our way in this country. An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman was a friend who worked with Gabby to stop gun violence. We’re thinking of her children, who've now lost both their parents, and we’re praying for Sen. Hoffman and his wife, who are still fighting for their lives. Stay strong.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

LOS ANGELES HAS RISEN. The streets are a sea of rebellion—thousands pouring into downtown to send a message Trump can’t ignore. This isn’t politics as usual. This is a cultural reckoning. And L.A. just became the epicenter of the resistance. 📍No Kings. No Dictators.
