Many of the tens of thousands of American LGBTQ couples who have been married in the last decade might never have exchanged vows if it hadn’t been for seven couples who sued the State of Massachusetts in 2001 after they were denied marriage licenses.

ICE is basically going after people based on their skin color, race, or ethnicity. They’re detaining U.S. citizens and people who have a right to be here. It’s mass racial profiling.

1. Trump announces where he will bomb in Iran to destroy its nuclear inventory. 2. Iran moves its nuclear inventory from those locations. 3. Trump bombs those locations. 4. Trump: "Yay! Our strikes were a COMPLETE success! Mission accomplished!!!" 5. Iran rolls its eyes & jacks up US gas prices.

I tell my students: Budget math isn't about arithmetic. Budgets are statements of values, and behind every number is a choice about who and what we value. So as you evaluate the Republican budget bill, ask yourself: Does it give voice to your values?

Just to recap: -- Trump admin concedes they don't know if Iran's supply of uranium was destroyed -- Some intel suggests that both the uranium and much of the equipment for developing weapons had already been moved from the targeted sites -- The world is probably less safe than it was on Saturday

Sorry, but I’m all out of sympathy. Farmers who supported Trump should have known exactly what they’d be getting. After all, pretty much his entire campaign was based on his vitriolic hatred of undocumented workers, coupled with his idiotic tariff policy. You reap what you sow, guys.

Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons. Iran didn't strike Israel. It was Israel that struck Iran first. Trump was set to meet Iran for potential negotiations. Netanyahu blew it up. Trump got played by Netanyahu, again, and has now led US into an unnecessary with Iran. America First.

As a rule thumb, always expect Trump to make the worst possible decision with the worst possible outcomes and you will never go wrong in your predictions.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

jfc Lander, as he's being cuffed: "You don't have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens. You don't have the — I'm not obstructing; I'm standing right here in the hallway. I asked to see the judicial warrant. [...] You don't have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens asking for a judicial warrant."

Trump rolls into the G7 summit complaining about how mean they are to Putin, trashes America on foreign soil, confused the EU with the UK, dropped papers on the ground, trashed Tucker Carlson, accomplished nothing, then bailed early to escalate a war. MAGA!

It constantly blows my mind that we have elected someone so gobsmackingly uncomprehending of the gravity and responsibility of his office that he does not grasp how insanely dangerous it is to fire off comments like this on a whim.

Mike Lee was "surprised" Tina Smith confronted him about his idiotic tweets—because these Republicans are used to Democrats not showing up ready to fight. If you stand tall and call them on their bullshit, they fold like paper tigers. They're weak men who pretend to be strong.

Newsom on Trump's military parade: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, you see it with Putin, you see it with dictators around the world that are weak ... Weakness masquerading as strength ... that's about as small as it gets ... that's Donald Trump."

Being uninvited from the White House caused Rand Paul to lose a lot of the respect he had for Donald Trump that Trump’s two impeachments, insurrection, four criminal indictments, criminal conviction, and sexual abuse damages verdict did not cause him to lose. Got it.
