“Trump administration to close LGBTQ+ suicide hotline program next month” abcnews.go.com/Health/trump...

Trump did not leave the G7 early to deal with something as piffling as a war in the middle east, he left for something important, something big. Two days later Trump unveils commemorative Trump branded 53 piece 24k gold* dinner service, available for only $799.99. *leaf.

He’s going to war with Iran because he needs to appear powerful somehow since no one showed up for his parade and the leaders at G7 thought he was a joke

Look who Carney gave Trump’s seat to at the G7. Message sent. 🇺🇦👏

Good writing is when Zelensky sits in the US president’s chair at G7 after he left early

The G7 summit in Kananaskis has cancelled plans to issue a joint statement on Moscow’s war on Ukraine because the United States wanted to water down the wording too much, a Canadian official told reporters.

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

I am not afraid of Donald Trump. I am not afraid of Tom Homan. I will stand up for the people of Illinois.

“Illegal aliens” make up less than 5% of the workforce, and most (overwhelmingly) work in industries and jobs that are experiencing historic labor shortages. Undocumented workers aren’t taking jobs from Americans. They also commit far fewer crimes than American citizens.

NEW: New York Attorney General Letitia James on the arrest of NYC mayoral candidate and comptroller Brad Lander. “This is profoundly unacceptable. Arresting Comptroller Lander for the simple act of standing up for immigrants and their civil rights is a shocking abuse of power.”

How many more elected officials have to be arrested? How many more rights have to be ignored? How many more marines need to patrol the streets before Congress realizes the crisis we are in?

State Dept spokesperson Tammy Bruce says "today is not that day" when pressed at today's briefing on why Tulsi Gabbard's intelligence assessment that Iran wasn't working towards a nuclear bomb has suddenly changed. She also "isn't going to discuss" why Iran was only given 60 days to negotiate.

A State Dept. cable says the Trump administration might add up to 36 countries — most in Africa — to a list of 21 countries on which it imposed a full or partial travel ban this month. Citizens can't get visas to the US. Our @nytimes.com story: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

Arresting a mayoral candidate for asking to see a warrant. I'm not gonna stop saying it till it stops being true: They're Nazis. This is MAGA Gestapo. Trump's plan is to use hired thugs and secret police to eliminate the democratic party by any means necessary.

Bruce on Trump: "We know he is our lead. We know he is the guiding hand. We know that he is one of a few who knows all the details ... his leadership and his reelection to a second term was because people here in the US were tired of the status quo, and what the world has seen is a peacemaker."

Tammy Bruce: "He's the best dealmaker in the world ... the best person who can explain his feelings and thoughts about what's accomplished on any issue is the president himself. So I would refer you back to what he writes and what he's posting."

For the first time in 116 years, the NAACP is not inviting the sitting president of the United States to its annual convention. “Our mission is to advance civil rights, and the current president has made clear that his mission is to eliminate civil rights,” said NAACP President Derrick Johnson.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

Brad Lander was violently arrested for standing up for immigrant rights and asking ICE to see a warrant. This is yet another authoritarian attack on anyone who dares to hold the Trump administration accountable. He must be released immediately.

Public shaming works

This is my dear friend, Storm Boyd, my Ohio brother from way back in our Beto/Biden days. We’ve traveled the nation together, and he’s just good people making good trouble. Please give him a follow - a vetted vet who speaks truth to power! 👇🏽 So glad you’re finally here, Storm. Love you, dude. 💙

BREAKING: The American Bar Association has sued the Trump administration on behalf of its members to put an end to Donald Trump's law firm intimidation project, calling Trump's efforts "unprecedented and uniquely dangerous to the rule of law." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I love all the handwringing about Zohran’s lack of experience when a 19 year-old called Big Balls has recently been made a permanent federal employee with the title Senior Advisor at the GS-15 pay grade in the General Services Administration.

Turns out the January 6 insurrectionists pardoned by 47 have arrests, convictions for sexual abuse, domestic violence, pedophilia. We would have been safer with them still in prison. #ONEV1 #wtpBLUE www.texastribune.org/2025/02/06/a...

As Republican senators consider President Donald Trump’s big bill that could slash federal spending and extend tax cuts, a new survey shows most U.S. adults don’t think the government is overspending on the programs the GOP has focused on cutting, like Medicaid and food stamps.

I know I ask this every day, but please keep contacting Senators & Reps to demand they #StopTheBillionaireBailoutBill #WeAreDemocracy @resistBot 5calls.org #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Trump: "The G7 used to be the G8. Barack Obama and a person named Trudeau didn't want to have Russia in. I would say that was a mistake — you wouldn't have a war right now if Russia were in." Russia was kicked out of the G8 after invading Ukraine in 2014.

Trump goes to G7 as Putin’s representative!

TRUMP SPREDING FAKE NEWS in Canada at G7! Russia was not "thrown out" of the G7, but rather, its participation was suspended in March 2014 from G8 following Crimea annexation. Trudeau became PM in Canada in 2015, somebody should tell TRUMP that! THE WHOLE WORLD will laugh at us. AGAIN.

I'm watching Trump at a press event at the G7 with our PM Mark Carney. He's trying to get Russia back into the G7. Blames Trudeau, but conservative Stephen Harper was PM at the time. He claims that there would be no war. But Russia was ousted because Putin invaded Crimea. Trump is an idiot.

Canadian PM Mark Carney's Viral Smirk During Trump's G7 Tantrum Is All Of Us Carney's "OK, TACO" face during Trump's G7 rant was PERFECT. #cdnpoli deanblundell.substack.com/p/video-cana...

A Disheveled/Sickly Looking Trump Started The G7 Summit With Epic Incoherent Rant Before Carney Stepped In to Save Trump From Himself 5 Minutes in, Trump's decline, stupidity, lies, were on full display as he melts down on arrival. #cdnpoli deanblundell.substack.com/p/video-a-di...

President Trump does not intend to join G7 leaders calling for de-escalation between Israel and Iran even as officials are hopeful he will sign on to the joint statement

I’m just watching this G7 summit, and man, our country is being embarrassed like never before We’ve never had more pathetic leadership than what we’ve got right now A totally unprepared “President” that honestly has no clue what’s going on Other countries are laughing at us You deserve BETTER!

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

Masked agents in unmarked cars disappearing people from the street and shipping them to a dictator’s prison. Executive branch officials blowing off federal court orders, wrestling members of Congress to the ground and handcuffing them for asking a question. Smells like fascism.

AOC: If Senator Fetterman or anybody else is concerned with law and order, we should be looking at one of the most law breaking agencies and administrations that we've seen in the United States.

You can't bullshit your way out of an economic collapse! Sales tax revenues are a direct indicator of demand and overall health of the economy. Sales tax revenues have begun to plummet! www.texastribune.org/2025/04/10/t...

NEW: We investigated several stories of people who spiraled into severe, life-altering mental health crises after developing all-consuming obsessions with ChatGPT. Screenshots we reviewed show the AI directly engaging with and supporting user delusions + conspiracies. futurism.com/chatgpt-ment...

As many having been pointing out for a while now—and in spectacular detail in @leahlitman.bsky.social's Lawless—this is merely part of the plan. Thanks to the red carpet laid out by Republicans

This is so much funnier when you realize that the city he's talking about becoming a "failed third world nation" here is *Santa Monica*
