Prayers for an “allergic reaction.” But mockery and hateful conspiracies for murder victims who aren’t in your tribe. With no apology or remorse. Fake Christian, small man.

fact check.

Moulton: It turns out the U.S. Army is not great at doing Soviet-style or North Korean-style parades, because that’s not what people sign up to do… Imagine how much veteran housing you could build for $40 million. You could help a lot of vets with that kind of money. And this parade helped nobody.

Mike Lee posted nearly 1,400 times, or about 46 posts a day in the last month. About half (697) were original tweets. The rest where retweets of others or his own. Of the nearly 700 posts Lee authored, 47 came between 3am and 6am ET www.thebulwark.com/p/mike-lee-t...

Always.

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!

We absolutely must not forget what this administration did to Senator Padilla, because it tells us what they are willing to do to us.

READ THIS: One of Smith’s top aides sent a scathing email to Mike Lee's staff calling them out for exploiting “the murder of a lifetime public servant and her husband to post some sick burns about Democrats.” charliesykes.substack.com/p/have-you-a...

she shouldn't have had to do this. i mean if you mock an innocent murder victim and no one in your inner circle is all "oh my dude no" then it's time to reevaluate your inner circle.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

The bodies weren't even cold before MAGA spun up a conspiracy theory, deflecting blame for the Minnesota shooting and saying no, it was actually Democrats who did it. To themselves. It makes no logical sense. But it does encourage more MAGA violence. www.salon.com/2025/06/16/c...

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

This is what democracy looks like

IMPORTANT. Stop sharing messages like this. This is not a sit-in and it is not a wise decision if violence breaks out.

𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙮 𝙇𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙨𝙠𝙞 understood that physically attacking Sen. Padilla was outrageous and wrong. nytimes.com/2025/06/12/u...

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

The sheriff said they’ll kill you, then call your family for the body. THIS. IS. FASCISM.

This is chilling to watch and utterly unacceptable in the United States of America. As a former Senator, I’m calling on all current members to speak out on behalf of Sen. Padilla and defend him and the Senate against these outrageous attacks.

Exactly right. The assault on a senator was a crime but Noem’s “liberation” comments were actually even worse.

“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

Padilla: From the moment I entered the building, I'm being escorted by a member of the National Guard and an FBI agent. I asked, well, since we're waiting, can we go listen in to the press conference? They escort me over to the press conference. They opened the door for me.

I’m calling for the censure of House Speaker Mike Johnson for two things: condoning the assault on a sitting Senator and for being a total douche.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Senators are ELECTED to be a VOICE for their constituents. What happens when that voice is stifled, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed like Senator Padilla was? We have a democracy, but we can lose that democracy. I took to the Senate floor to speak out—I hope you'll join me.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Hmm some said Greta & crew weren’t kidnapped to Israel on 6/9. Greta was returned to Paris today with crew members still held in Israel Arriving in Paris she commented on TACO describing her as an angry person “I think the world needs a lot more angry young women”

The arrogance in which Hegseth presents his sheer stupidity is Immeasurable. The only other person to rival his level of incompetence, absence of qualifications and danger to the people is RFK Junior.
