Q: "Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon." Trump: "I don't care what she said. I think they were very close to having one."

Pretty funny to watch "antiwar" Trump suddenly decide that warmaking looks totally awesome on TV and gravitate toward war with Iran literally on that basis

Donald Trump in 2016: “Obviously the war in Iraq was a big fat mistake.“ Trump was right. Let’s not repeat that mistake in 2025 by getting dragged into a war with Iran.

"War with Iran? Netanyahu Wags Trump and the Establishment Dogs" Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has again made Trump look weak, incompetent, and foolish as he continues goading America into a reckless war with Iran that threatens to cause regional blowback. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

Trump says he can’t allow Iran to make a nuclear weapon. But Tulsi Gabbard addressed this last quarter, so which of them is lying?

This is why there is war in Iran. Silver lining is Trump will quickly chicken out.

Trump has fled Canada in shame, he couldn't handle the pressure of world leaders using multisyllable words during the G7 and became angry when they condemned Israel for its illegal war on Iran. Rumors are swirling that the US is about to formally enter the Israel-Iran war.

COLLINS: Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon TRUMP: I don't care what she said

Can Trump stop the Israel-Iran war even more quickly than he stopped the Russo-Ukrainian war?

Tulsi Gabbard in 2019: “Trump seems determined to go to war with Iran”

With the past weeks of bad news & falling polls, how much of this saber-rattling is 1. Trump's attempt to retake charge of the news cycle & 2. the classic wannabe-dictator move to start a war to grab power & distract from a cascade of failures? It's predictable & very dangerous. #NoIranWar

Iran says Trump is lying

The U.S. added more than 1,000 millionaires each day last year, while up to 122,000 people, on average, fall into poverty each day. The money comes from somewhere.

It has become Republican orthodoxy that district courts can be disregarded until the Supreme Court has ruled This is incredibly perilous and downright wrong A District Court order IS LAW unless a higher court says otherwise And most lower court decisions are NOT reversed or modified on appeal

She just wrecked him.

Moulton: I have heard that a lot of officers are considering resigning their commissions because they question whether this is constitutional—whether they’re violating their oath to protect and defend the Constitution, not the president, by carrying out these orders. These are active discussions

Ohio LGBTQ+ orgs react to SCOTUS decision to uphold ban on gender-affirming care for minors. Organizations called the ruling discriminatory against transgender people and inconsistent with earlier decisions. thebuckeyeflame.com/2025/06/18/l...

This happened recently in Whittier, California. Masked men grabbed this man and dragged him away. We don’t know the identities of these masked men. ICE must be investigated! Stop wearing masks and identify themselves!

These soulless people see this as a lucrative business for “doing what they love” (his words not mine.) You know who else had that same energy? Slave catchers in the late 17th and 18th centuries.

They are taking money from the poor to hand to the rich. Reverse Robin Hood politics. We must reject the “Big Beautiful” Bullshit.

Because he seems to take a macabre joy in putting us all in harm's way

THIS is why we are fighting #ICE

To Hegseth: "You have an unjustified, un-American misuse of the military in American cities, pulling resources and attention away from core missions to the detriment of the country"

Just a reminder that Trump was going to announce his sanctions on Russia for not negotiating “in two weeks” about 3.5 weeks ago. Taco

I'm guessing they probably used AI to write the headline for this article 😂🤣

Edelweisspiraten (Edelweiss Pirates) were young people who refused the Hitler Youth camps and instead got busy executing sabatoge campaigns to thwart the Third Reich. They were anti-fascist pranksters whose tactics ratcheted up as the Regime’s oppression grew. @chillpolyamory (IG)

Margaret Cho margaretcho.bsky.social, tells her story of her dad being deported when she was a baby. Her father took her back to Korea with him away from her mother. The trauma of family separation goes deeper than most people realize. Thank you Margaret for sharing your touching story with us. 💙

This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy. Shame on every official who signed off on this. You’re not protecting children, you’re abandoning them.

You literally don't have to watch or listen to any more trump press briefings, because he always does the same thing: LIES, blames Biden for everything, talks about random shit, yells at reporter for asking a real question, doesn't answer any direct questions. Rinse and repeat.

Republicans just elected a neocon who's stripping healthcare from 14 million Americans and exploding the deficit by $4 trillion to pay for another war in the middle east.

ROSEN: Did you discuss Gen Haugh's dismissal w/Laura Loomer? HEGSETH: I don't discuss who I talk about anything with R: Do you believe it's appropriate for social media personalities to influence personnel decisions? H: I believe your time is up R: It's not up to you to tell me when my time's up

House Republicans passed the biggest health care cut in U.S. history. Senate Republicans’ response? Hold my beer. Now they’re pushing even deeper Medicaid cuts—knowing it’ll shut down rural hospitals, strip care from their own voters, and leave millions hanging.

Instead of sending expensive American jets to bomb a far away country, can’t we just fix our airports. I am sitting on another delayed flight. But hey there’s always money for war. What a joke.

If you are not reading @hcrichardson.bsky.social every day, you should be. Every day.

Very proud of my Senator @alex-padilla4ca.bsky.social @padilla.senate.gov for speaking truth to power with force, passion and conviction. This administration is fully fascist and people, especially the #legacymedia" must start addressing it as such. There is NO normal in D.C. these days.

Willing to bet he has ceded more than that to miller who is not welcome back in Santa Monica which was on lots of posters.

Queensland and NSW have the most potential to host solar in abandoned coal mines, with Australia’s potential hitting 73GW, according to a study

So this is what I've been working toward for what feels like the better part of the last month. It's almost like a full-blown documentary at this point. I go back to 70 AD to explore how we got to the Gaza Conflict. And it is not what I thought. I hope it helps someone! youtu.be/HkuwuYOmYQE
