Millions of Americans Like Trump Better in Theory Than in Practice www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/o...

No Kings. Good Vibes. Proud Californians in Napa.

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

For those confused by the China tariff news: • Trump caved and got zero in return • No manufacturing moved back to the USA • 30% tariff is still a huge tax on Americans • 90 day pause still causes uncertainty • Trump lost all negotiating leverage

OPINION by @chrislhayes.bsky.social: “If anything has been brought into clear focus in these first few months of the Trump administration, and particularly the last few days, it’s that the president is acting as an enemy of freedom.” READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Very informative chart from Washington Post

Biggest insider trading market manipulation scheme in history. They aren't even bothering to hide it.

They are obviously slow learners

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

In any normal administration, the Director of National Intelligence committing voter fraud would lead to an immediate resignation and criminal investigation.

Moskowitz: He tariffed the penguins. He tariffed Vietnam. Madagascar. I don’t know what the plan is. Is the plan to get people who live in Vietnam to move to Greenland to make the shirts there? Nobody really knows.

This is the truth. Republicans could put an immediate end to this insanity. They own this.

It’s only going to get worse, folks.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

The Economist: “Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era.” #TrumpTariffs

Says the guy who spent millions to elect a judge that will soon be the deciding vote on a case involving Tesla’s ability to sell cars in the state.

Tom Homan admits that a number of people ICE just arrested in Boston are "collateral arrests" and hence not criminals (city officials are urging ICE to release the names of all the people arrested)

One thing that can get lost in all this is that Jeff Goldberg knows much, much more about national security than the principals who were on that text chain.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Jeffries and Schumer on different pages

Thank you @schiff.senate.gov

Meiselas: That’s our message to you from the MeidasTouch Network: Grow a spine. Vote against cloture. Vote against the CR. The American people are with you. Stop this hostile government takeover. Fight for the people.

The idea that Trump and Musk are just cutting services to pay for tax cuts is a potent argument. But it’s also the argument Democrats always use against Republicans. It makes the unprecedented crisis we’re in seem normal.

One more time, from the archives: "With every meter of territory they liberate, Ukrainian soldiers win the war NATO was created to fight. Ukrainian heroes fight and die daily to defend NATO’s peace....Ukraine offers NATO the greatest deal ever presented in military history."

Spot the difference
