This is a cover-up‼️ DHS is illegally trying to change the rules on congressional oversight visits to facilities to hide human rights abuses. “We know that they’re trying to hide all those abuses. That’s why it’s important that we can just get in at a moment’s notice.” – Rep. @gomez.house.gov

The observance of Juneteenth calls us to recommit ourselves to the work of equity, equality, and justice. Each June 19, and especially today in Minnesota, we are reminded of our incredible capacity to heal, hope, and emerge from our darkest moments with purpose and resolve.

This was always a head-scratcher. Muslims for Trump because he “promised” peace in the Middle East. Never mind the Muslim ban and all the hateful things he said about immigrants. 🤷🏽‍♂️

This is brutal. India says Trump is lying about a trade deal and says he also lied about brokering a peace deal between India and Pakistan. We are a joke around the world. bsky.app/profile/meid...

This is a little off the beaten path, but Trump made some dubious boasts about India, and India quickly suggested Trump didn't know what he was talking about. Then it happened again. And then it happened again. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Holy shit. India’s Foreign Secretary just shut down Trump’s claim he brokered peace between India and Pakistan. Modi told him: “There was never any discussion… about a trade deal or U.S. mediation… India has neither accepted mediation, nor does it do so—and never will.”

Asked about a possible U.S. attack on Iran, Trump said: “I like to make a final decision one second before." He thinks it's a damn game show. Spin the wheel and see whether millions of people die.

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

When Senator Slotkin told Pete Hegseth today that he didn't "...have the balls to___," she could have inserted anything after,"...don't have the balls to" and it would have been correct.

Hegseth tells Sen. Slotkin, "Senator, I'd be careful what you read in books, and believing it...except for the Bible," when he was asked whether he had given the order to use lethal force. I've read the Bible. It's number one on my list of books you should be careful about believing. #MAGACult

Sen Elissa Slotkin condemns Pete Hegseth, saying ex-Trump Defense Secretary Mark Esper "had more guts and balls than you because he said I'm not going to send in the uniformed military to do something that I know in my gut isn't right … It just shows you don't understand who we are as a country."

Hegseth should be removed for this comment alone. The deployment of US troops against our own citizens should be an unquestionable boundary we never cross.

Richard Blumenthal claims that courts will uphold Charles Breyer's ruling that Guard/Marine deployment is unlawful. I guess he missed yesterday's hearing, which made it clear the 9th will reverse the TRO. He asked Whiskey Pete to share all contingency plans for further deployments.
