So Trump family says they're going to stand up a new mobile phone factory and have a new phone in production in three months and basically all the mainstream press is saying, yep, sounds legit. Can't wait to see it. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/just-...

🇭🇺 On the eve of elections, the Hungarian government is preparing to sell 75% of the shares of the state defense holding company to a private company, 4iG, which is closely linked to the country’s current prime minister. 🔗Read details: militarnyi.com/en/news/orba...

A right-winger -- a registered Republican, a Trump voter, an evangelical anti-abortion activist -- assassinates a Democratic official. Republicans respond by blaming the left. Democrats respond by blaming ... no one.

So the guy who can singlehandedly set US tariffs on smartphones is launching his own US smartphone company do I have that right

Trump on LA protests: "Those people weren't from LA. They weren't from California. Most of those people."

Ten years since the escalator ride. CNN tries to name and frame the key changes: First place: remake of the GOP. But notice: the Republican party has "deemphasized high-minded ideals like democracy..." www.cnn.com/2025/06/16/p... High-minded? A little slip that shows us what we are up against.

Russia was kicked out of the G8 in March 2014 exactly BECAUSE it launched its war in Ukraine by invading and forcibly annexing Crimea.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

WaPo and NYT readers know nothing about this at this hour. apnews.com/article/trum...

RFK Jr. says his new vaccine panel has a GW University professor. The school says he doesn't work there www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/r...

If you support home invasion assassinations of your political opponents, you’re a terrorist as well as a complete disgrace

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

And there it is. It’s not about safety or the other whitewashing bullshit. It’s about elections. Republicans are trying to break the Democratic strongholds. Notice how there are no mention of cities in Red States?

If we are all willing to dig in and sacrifice, by growing our red bars we can do our part in making the green bar even bigger.

I count 49 news headlines on the NYT mobile app home page right now, not including opinion, sports or cooking. None of them are about the massive protests yesterday.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

This is huge. The Trump administration wants to vastly expand the practice of shipping people to random countries they have never been to before, and are now making this part of a threat; either the countries accept taking third country nationals, or they get banned from visas.

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it

ICE raiding a crowded supermarket in Rosemead, California with no identification, indistinguishable from cartel hitmen, pulling high caliber rifles on unarmed US citizens trying to ask questions about wtf is going on. #3E #StopICE

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Thank you so much to Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social for having me on The Democracy Docket @democracydocket.com to chat LAWLESS! And if you want to hear more, here’s the book! bookshop.org/p/books/lawl... youtu.be/fVgaHu5jCFU

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

Dear Kristi Noem, #NoKings

Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman was a friend who worked with Gabby to stop gun violence. We’re thinking of her children, who've now lost both their parents, and we’re praying for Sen. Hoffman and his wife, who are still fighting for their lives. Stay strong.

Ben Shapiro getting all upset at the parade coverage as though he isn't used to taking part in activities where no one comes

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought

In its defense this tank was built 80 years ago to eradicate fascism and is cranky as fuck to wake up after all this time and find that it’s next job is to help Donald Trump feel like a big boy dictator on his birthday.

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

Leaders of the American Patriots Three Percent (AP3) militia have forged alliances with law enforcement around the US. Internal files reveal their strategies for building these ties and where they’ve claimed success. (Published Aug. 2024)

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

Fox News brings on Rebekah Koffler to talk about the military parade, but she seems to be heavily intoxicated so they cut away with quickness

“Some experts emphasize the germ theory of disease, while others believe a lizard-god named Earl spreads illness by flicking around his long green lizard tail. Shouldn’t we be seeing what both the germ theorists and the Earlists can contribute to health policy?”

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

KARE 11 TV in the Twin Cities reports that Vance Boelter's best friend says Boelter voted for Trump and is "a strong supporter"

Cops are shooting teargas in downtown LA. Not good.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Both @kathleenbelew.bsky.social’s Bring the War Home and @jeffreytoobin1.bsky.social’s Homegrown draw the thru line to white supremacy. Both are excellent reads
