Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

Democratic senators need to stop pretending that GOP senators are their “good friends across the aisle” and realize many of them are just lying sociopaths who are actively fanning the flames of violence against them.

I really hope the pictures and videos from the protests in red states, especially southern ones, reaches far and wide. People are fighting and working so hard. They care deeply. Don’t count us out.

The United States must not be drawn into Netanyahu’s illegal war against Iran. I will be introducing legislation to prohibit the use of federal funds for any use of military force in or against Iran without specific Congressional authorization, with an exception for self-defense.

So proud of my friends in Flower Mound, TX who after being denied access to Parker Square persisted and filled the side walks between two intersections with almost a thousand protesters! Representative Gill, we will vote you out! Great job @flowermoundareademocrats.org!

Biggest feeling in little Flower Mound, TX. Community! We are not alone! Over 1k filled the sidewalks for over half a mile. Only one MAGA couple agitator, shut down by police in an otherwise party atmosphere. Main street, mostly honking, waving. Lots of drivers for disabled like a parade. #NoKings

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

A piece of advice from an old retired soldier to the commanders and leaders currently serving: Review the regulations & policies addressing political behavior when wearing the uniform, and then address those standards with your teams.

“This isn’t just about protests here in L.A. When Donald Trump sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard, he made that order apply to every state in this nation. This is about all of us. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here.” — Governor Newsom

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

In a normal environment, it’d be a pretty big deal to see a president threatening a private citizen with “very serious consequences” if he donates to candidates the president doesn’t like. But in June 2026, news like this is eclipsed by dozens of other scandals. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Looks like SEIU hotel workers organized and used their power to pressure a hotel (Marriott?) to kick ICE out. This is the way! Maybe ICE should not have attacked SEIU Labor President David Huerta #UnmaskICE

They tear-gassed a woman peacefully waving an American flag. Let that sink in. This isn’t freedom. It’s intimidation, and it’s happening right here in America. We must stand up and stop this, but not at night. That’s when the violence escalates and militarized police act with impunity.

It’s insane that Republicans are still trying to sell trickle-down economics—and it’s peak insanity that people still buy it. Before Reagan’s tax cuts, debt was under control—even w/highways, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Cold War. What changed? Massive tax cuts. And we’re still footing the bill.

These are the signs that were literally held up by Republican delegates at last year’s Republican Convention and that were shown prominently on conservative media, including Fox News. These voters absolutely did vote for this.

Stunning details now emerging: this was an operation planned a year and a half in advance, involved smuggling drones into Russia, placing them in containers on top of trucks, arranging for them all to open simultaneously and to strike.

Tucked inside the House GOP tax bill? A massive national voucher program. $5B/year in tax credits to subsidize private & religious schools—$20B over 4 years. Public money, zero oversight. A backdoor defund of public education masked as “choice.” Hands Off Public Schools
