And we're being called criminals and animals

Let me be clear: The President does not have the authority to attack Iran. Only the Congress has the constitutional power to declare war. President Trump must work to end this conflict — not drag us further into it.

Padilla: The President, VP, and their allies have continued to call all the protesters out there insurrectionists. Yes, this is the same man who provoked an actual insurrection at our capitol on January 6.

Standing up and applauding! Best response ever! #G7

Brad has been released and the crowd breaks into a chant of “Free them all.”

Sen Mike Lee & the silence from Republicans made it clear: decency is in the rearview mirror. After he mocked a political assassination, Ed Shelleby, a senior staffer to Sen Tina Smith, wrote to Lee’s top staffers. @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com read it on-air, and honestly everyone should hear it.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

What he said... ✊ Rage against the machine

“.. ‘I was thinking about our country, and what’s happening, and just turning it over in my mind.’ .. And then: ‘I wrote it, and I said, ‘That’s true.’” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/b...

This is South Central. We gotta support each other.

Senator Mike Lee pretended he was on the phone to avoid being confronted by @smith.senate.gov after he mocked assassination victims this weekend. She made sure he heard what she had to say.

Mike Lee knew exactly what poison lies he was spreading about the murders in Minnesota and he should resign in disgrace www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

this is gold 🤣. the political clarity is unmatched. i need the daily digest.

WATCH: Fired Ex-ABC journalist Terry Moran stands ten toes down on what he said about Stephen Miller’s hateful heart🖤when talking to @thebulwark.com’s @timmiller.bsky.social (no relation) Be truthful not neutral is our motto too, Terry 👊🏼 Full: terrymoran.substack.com/p/live-inter...

[email protected] on Mike Lee: "Either he's so mentally ill and deranged that he's convinced himself that this person is a Marxist, and that Tim Walz is responsible....Or he knows it's a lie....either one of those options makes him totally unacceptable as a person in public trust."

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of protesters have now gathered outside a federal courthouse in downtown Milwaukee to support Judge Hannah Dugan

WATCH: “You shouldn’t treat every child in your care like they’re murderers. Most kids in Dick Bean’s facility are not convicted of anything.” The still operating KNOXVILLE facility known for sticking kids in solitary, sometimes for ‘talking back’ Story: www.propublica.org/article/knox...

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.”

I doubt anyone will see me post, but this needs to be known... if you have a visible following please repost 💙🔥💙 Admitting he wants "his people... aka US " to behave like north Korea for Kim Jong Un.🤬

Another "caring republican politician" responds to the deaths in Minnesota.

Melissa Hortman just days before her tragic assasination

Sound engineers pointing out in the comments that the applause is from an indoor audience on an outdoor event💀

“Honor your oath, bitch” is definitely constitutionally protected speech. This livestreamer was petitioning government agents for a redress of grievances

Bizarrely, it appears that Trump’s nominee to lead the FAA has been lying about holding a commercial pilot license www.politico.com/news/2025/06... #aviation

Care about disability rights? DOE is trying to change the rules so new buildings are NOT REQUIRED TO BE ACCESSIBLE to people with disabilities. The last day for public comment is TOMORROW Monday June 16!! See how to submit a comment at this awesome site: dredf.org/action-alert...
