Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

When people say they are suspicious of science it's like oh you're suspicious of people trying things and writing it down? And other people trying those same things to see if the same thing happens and writing that down? That's a sketchy process to you?

The last time a member of my family lived under a monarch it was one of these inbred bastards from opposite ends of Europe over 100 years ago. We are not going back. #NoKings

This World Refugee Day, I’m thinking of the millions of people displaced by persecution and violence. I condemn the Trump Admin’s decision to halt refugee resettlement—slamming the door on thousands of people who have been properly vetted and approved to come to the U.S.

Hey, quick follow-up -- isn't Iran closer to having a nuclear weapon because President Spiteful Shithead scrapped the JCPOA that had their program completely shut down?

Let’s be clear. Tucker Carlson is a racist piece of shit. And yet he did a better job interviewing a politician than any broadcast, cable, or Sunday morning “journalist” l can think of. It’s not that he’s so good it’s that they suck so much.

They told me if I voted for Kamala we'd have Middle East war, inflation, an economic slump, weaponization of DOJ, no peace in Gaza or Ukraine and incompetents all over govt. Well, sure looks that way now.

Tucker Carlson, of all people, showing how easy it can be to pop the bullshit bubble if you don’t mind making a liar angry should shame every White House reporter.

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

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

Acosta: He can try to roll tanks down Pennsylvania Avenue and all of that—Hegseth can show up in a camouflage tie he got at the Gap—but at the end of the day, the real American strength, the real American might that was on display over the weekend, was in those No Kings protests across the country.

Masked federal agents just cuffed NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander and dragged him away because he was demanding to see a warrant for the arrest of a man they were abducting.

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

10 years ago, a horrific act of racism and hatred took the lives of nine innocent worshippers at Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston. We must condemn and stamp out racism & hate in all its forms. May we remember these nine souls and work towards a more peaceful, just world free of bigotry & hate.

The more dignified and resilient America’s resistance to Trump grows, the more depraved and repulsive his followers become to compensate. Looking at you, @senmikelee.bsky.social

His tweets apparently are still up and as yet there’s been no public apology. If I were a Mormon bishop and I thought about this man being one of the highest public office-holders associated with my faith… I think I might consider it time for some chastisement and correction

Boelter is apparently facing federal charges. Which opens to door to a presidential pardon if convicted (if not before). There should be a state prosecution here to make sure justice actually gets served (and so evidence re motive is not selectively presented to conform to predetermined narratives)

Has @kuer.org, ‪@sltrib.com‬ or any other Utah media outlet reported how Sen. Mike Lee is pretending that a right-wing Trump-voting anti-abortion activist who targeted Democrats is somehow a "Marxist"? Public officials are being assassinated and Utah's shameless senator is pouring gas on the fire.
