Update

🚨 LA: “Fake ICE agents targeting the schools” It was only a matter of time. How is anyone supposed to tell the difference? And now @MarshaBlackburn Jack Johnson & Speaker Sexton are codifying masked Secret Police vigilantes into law?

BANNON: “The Netanyahu government is out of control… we still don’t know why the attack was necessary… Netanyahu told Trump bald-faced lies… I’ve never seen the president so angry…”

AOC from the top rope 🔥….grandpa is gonna love that last part

OPINION: "In my view, dispatching California National Guard troops against civilian protesters in Los Angeles chillingly echoes decisions and actions that led to the tragic Kent State shooting," Brian VanDeMark.

So rude to drop bombs, says guy who just illegally dropped massive bombs because Fox News told him to.

Less than 24 hours after posting “why wouldn’t there be a Regime change??” his comments this morning saying no to regime change get an AP bulletin that the president “affirms he isn't looking for regime change”:

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

Well, gosh, whoda thunk

Jeffries: "Not a scintilla of evidence to date has been presented that I have seen to justify the notion that there was an imminent threat to the United States of America. If the administration has evidence to the contrary, come up to present it."

The president launched strikes without congressional approval, transparency, or accountability. It’s a reckless overreach, and the American people did not vote for another endless war.

“Right now in McAllen and other parts of this country we’re seeing what authoritarianism is about in its ugliest way.” New today: Despite a rainstorm, people packed into the 1,800 person auditorium to hear @sanders.senate.gov and @gregcasar.bsky.social offer an alternative to oligarchy.

Susan Collins comes out belatedly for preemptive war against a country with a population of 91 million people that she admits poses no immediate threat and that our best intelligence suggests is nowhere near having nukes (which Collins also admits between the lines here). Vote her out. #MEPolitics

We are in the hands of a mentally unstable nut who is now threatening Russia with nuclear retaliation based on the midnight ramblings of a drunken fool in Russia.

Damn right!!!

Confirmation they did not destroy the uranium stockpiles. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/u...

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

Enact the 25th Amendment Now, remove Trump from Office. America will not be ruled by a Dictator, which he has been trying to be. Now starting a War without Congress approval. He has made our American servicemen Targets by his war action.

This is the kind of excessive force case DOJ routinely prosecutes. They should open an investigation here, based on the misconduct not the victims status.

Meanwhile, the federal government of the United States of America is hard at work hunting down and arresting random beloved local bagel shop managers. Neighbors and friends respond: pix11.com/news/local-n...

New via NYT: A senior US official similarly acknowledged the American strike on the Fordo site did not destroy the heavily fortified facility but said the strike had severely damaged it. The person noted that even 12 bunker-busting bombs could not destroy the site www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/w...

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Washington Post doing the job of war mongers and the military industrial complex. Remarkable.

I just followed a bunch of counter-terrorism experts. No particular reason.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Trump’s attack against Iran is illegal and immoral. And any leader who tells you otherwise is lying to you.

Trump is struggling to read his teleprompter

"Trump has spent the last five months vowing that the Ukraine-Russia war would never have happened if he was president, vowing that the Israel-Gaza war would never have happened if he was president. And yet the reality is that not only has he not avoided war, but he’s plunged us into a new one."

Not “ICE” changing license plates in a back lot. They wouldn’t do that, would they? Maybe the authorities should look into this.

So both Russia and Iran are saying that Trump struck without the consent of the UN

I worry that escalating war with Iran will be used to whip up more fear and hate for non-white immigrants, particularly those of Arab descent, and be used for unjust deportations.

A president bombing a foreign country without congressional approval is ILLEGAL.

I was thinking that maybe, more than 20 years after the start of the Iraq war, media coverage would be more skeptical and less sycophantic No such luck

By the way, the US striking Iran’s nuclear facilities and infrastructure gives Russia the green light to strike Ukraine’s nuclear facilities & infrastructure. This is another reason it’s forbidden under international law. Trump is escalating danger everywhere.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Neither the president nor Netanyahu gets to bypass Congress and declare war for the United States. Trump was supposed to explain to the American people why this illegal attack was in our interests, not a foreign nation’s. Shame on every politician that supports this executive overreach.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: "The only entity that can take this country to war is the U.S. Congress. The President does not have the right." "The American people do not want more war, more death."

BREAKING: Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization says it will not halt its nuclear program following the U.S. attack, calling the strikes a “blatant violation of international law.”

He illegally started a war and nothing will happen because everyone in Congress is a spineless coward.

I hate him.

Kudos to NYT for clearly identifying this as war, not just an “attack”.

Congress? You awake?

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Iranian state television, 'Mr. Trump, you started it and we will end it'... Broadcast shows large graphic of American bases in the Middle East with the headline, 'Within fire range'...

Expecting no consequences is a big mistake.
