Touché.

Just because he pulled out doesn’t mean it’s over. Rapists never understand that #NoWar #ImpeachTrump

BONDI: I was attempting to answer your question. Very calmly. Unlike you. DeLAURO: Excuse me? Excuse me? Answer yes or no. I don't want to hear all of your filibuster.

Himes: "We've seen this movie before. Every conflict in the Middle East has its Tom Cottons who promise us mushroom clouds, and initially things look pretty good. 'Saddam Hussein is gone!'... then over time we start to learn what the cost is... the president has taken a massive, massive gamble here"

He looks scared. I would be too if I were president and had no idea what I was doing.

So… People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it? Oh, my sweet summer children.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

"Are we allowed to like Tucker Carlson for 48 hours?" I discussed the fake case for war with Iran with Reza Aslan & Tommy Vietor at the Zeteo live in Los Angeles/Tehrangeles last night. Reza laid out three big lies about Iran and the nuclear threat. Full panel discussion: zeteo.com/p/how-are-tu...

Dodgers announce $1 Million donation to aid families of immigrants affected by raids

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

So now there may be a war because #TrumpleThinSkin couldn't stand an Obama success?

Seriously, they're the worst!

JENA, La. (AP) — Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil has been released from an immigration jail after 104 days in custody.

Iran: Weeks away from having nuclear weapons since 1995

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

LAPD shoves an unhoused woman to the ground so hard her skull cracks open and she’s knocked unconscious. They then carry her to the curb, prop her up and abandon her. Witnesses took her to the ER.

Governor Tim Walz, "The way our nation moves forward is not through hate. It is not through violence. It is through humility, and grace, and compassion.

If you condemn Russia’s ‘preventive’ attacks on Ukrainian cities, including hospitals & journalists, but don’t condemn Israel’s ‘preventive’ attacks on Iranian cities, including hospitals & journalists, then you’re not actually opposed to Russia’s attacks. You’re just a partisan.

“I find it unconscionable that someone could step up to serve, voluntarily, in our military and be willing to sacrifice their life for our country only to have their families torn apart.” This article first appeared @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social

Tucker Carlson says Fox is a propaganda network that manipulates their mostly elderly audience.

“Ten years of lies ranked above law. Ten years of hate placed above humanity. Ten years where truth became treason and decency became weakness. Ten years of corruption and corrosion in the White House.” -Rick Wilson therickwilson.substack.com/p/ten-years-...

Minnesota Sen. John Hoffman's wife shares update after shooting: "We are incredibly lucky to be alive"

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

Thousands showed up in Fayetteville, ARKANSAS! #NoKings #NoKingsinArkansas @jenpsaki.msnbc.com @maddow.msnbc.com @briantylercohen.bsky.social @emptywheel.bsky.social

Checking in on “Yes Kings”

U.S. agents suspected Bukele and some in his inner circle of diverting USAID funds to MS-13 leaders. Agents sought to review any U.S. bank accounts held by 15 Salvadoran political figures including Bukele, other senior officials and their relatives.

52 yrs ago today, 6/13/73 John Dean granted immunity for upcoming testimony to the Watergate Select Senate Committee is affirmed by Judge Sirica. Dean vows to tell the full truth about Nixon, which he does explosively 2 weeks later, changing the course of history. Doing the right thing matters.

Rieckhoff: Trump, smartly—and maybe stupidly—chose to hit the military first. They’re using the military and the Pentagon as a test case for everything they want to do in America. And what I’d say is: if they can come after us, they can come after anyone.

"I cannot say this strongly enough: until 2026, only two things stand between the authoritarian project and its objectives: the judiciary and a popular protest movement. We have no control over the former. We must not surrender, or abandon, the latter."

With or without documentation, simply due to skin color.

There is a reason why he was spared. God has a higher purpose for him! May the good Lord continue to protect him and see him through his recovery and survivor's guilt.

Yes. According to Army protocol, congressional staff are VIP Code 5, with a rank equivalent to a two-star general/admiral. Members of Congress are of course significantly higher. I have never seen USCP, FPS, or any other federal LEO treat any Member with anywhere near this disrespect and violence.

“I think about [Gaza] every single day. I've started therapy myself because I think that it's important that we find ways to deal with these experiences.” Top UN official @tomfletcherun.bsky.social joins @mehdirhasan.bsky.social to discuss Gaza. Watch the full interview: zeteo.com/p/un-humanit...

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

Padilla: “We will hold this administration accountable”

Israeli forces kill at least 60 Palestinians seeking food aid in Gaza, health officials say

Over & over again, Sen Dems asked Joint Chiefs nominee Dan Caine if he would push back on Trump if he tried to politicize the military, as his predecessors had to do. He assured Senators he would. Where is Caine now? In hiding? Witness protection? What is he doing about this?
