Sen. Tina Smith: "I said [to Mike Lee], 'Your message on social media showed the image of the man who killed my friend. Potentially minutes before that happened. And your message was, 'this is what happens'?'"

“Our ongoing research on protests in the United States reveals that within the first two weeks of the second Trump administration, protest activity surpassed that of 2017. By the end of March 2025, there had been three times as many protests as had taken place in 2017. ...

I feel like dynamic on Iran is being missed. Trump legit imagined he could make peace [deal he rejected 8 years ago], just like he imagined he could make peace in Ukraine, in both cases just on basis of his whatever. Putin has been exploiting that stupidity in Ukraine, & Bibi has one-upped Putin.

A “shift” never happened. A chaotic raid at a worksite and a warrantless sweep in our communities have the same outcome. Bullshit rhetoric aside, they’re hunting us down while we’re trying to feed you. Who’s actually in charge?

Trump denies that he’s going back to Washington to work on a ceasefire, but doesn’t explain what he’s actually going back for. “[Emmanuel Macron] has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that.”

Forcefully stopping and detaining my constituent and interrogating him about which hospital he was born in solely because he’s Latino is blatant racism. ICE's racial profiling is terrorizing communities, targeting U.S. citizens and making us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/u...

The regime has posted signs at Manzanar, the WWII concentration camp for Japanese Americans, asking visitors to report "negative" historical interpretations. Hard to imagine a positive interpretation but it's probably just an excuse to shut down the park. www.sfgate.com/california-p...

So…in 2011 the Justice Department confessed error to the Supreme Court that it had misrepresented the factual basis underlying the rationale presented to the Court to justify Japanese internment. As in, that is the official position of the U.S. government. Are they going to retract that, too?

@smith.senate.gov: "They try to pretend that this violence, in this case in Minnesota, was actually driven by left wing ideology, when that is clearly not what is going on here... Let's be honest, here we have Donald Trump, one of the first actions that he took was to pardon the insurrectionists."

Remember all the assholes in 2003 who insisted that we’d be greeted as liberators and called you anti-American for opposing the war and then changed their minds many years later to pretend like they always opposed the war? They’re doing the same schtick again.

Everything that is happening and will happen with Iran is a direct consequence of Trump’s first-term decision to shit on American diplomatic credibility by impulsively shredding a hard-won nuclear agreement.

🚨Stephen Miller gets his way. Just a few days after Ag. Sec. Rollins convinced Trump to briefly back down, quotas and indiscriminate raids are back. Farms, restaurants, and hotels are now subject to ICE raids again, with intense pressure on ICE to hit 3,000 arrests a day. Miller remains in charge.

Stephen Miller is running everything. And the man is an order of magnitude crazier than Trump.

Honestly, I get that we need these stories, but, like, the actual story is: Everyone with half a brain knew this — and many, many people said it — but Stephen Miller doesn’t care. And Donald Trump let him start implementing this stupid, hateful plan.

In Donald Trump’s first term, he scrapped President Obama’s no nukes deal with Iran (JCPOA) and promised to replace it with his own deal. It never happened. When running for re-election In 2024, he promised yet again to reach a no nukes deal with Iran….quickly. This still has not happened.

I was watching @maddow.msnbc.com tonight and was excited to see Rachel air the video I posted on Bluesky of the “No Kings” protest in my hometown of Huntingon, NY. The clip begins at 1:01 into the segment. Thanks for the shoutout, Rachel! 🇺🇸 #NoKingsDay #NoKings

She is not “likely dead in the eyes of the law.” She is dead both legally & in the sense her body cannot even perform basic functions like breathing or sustaining a heartbeat without invasive intervention. They are animating a corpse to let cells multiply in it. It is horror worse than Frankenstein.
