Trump overseeing a ‘fascist regime’ says Brad Lander after arrest – US politics live https://twp.ai/4ioV4W

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said on June 17 that the G7 summit had produced concrete results for Ukraine, including increased military support, new tranches of aid using frozen Russian assets, and additional sanctions targeting the sources of Russia’s war effort.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

NEW: A California court has upheld the disbarment recommendation for John EASTMAN, the attorney who helped develop President Trump's last-ditch effort to subvert the 2020 election. Eastman plans to appeals to CA Supreme Court. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

The President does not have the authority to make this decision. There is no imminent threat to America from Iran. He cannot take this action without congressional authorization. I will not vote to give him that authority, and I likely represent the majority of Congress.

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.”

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

Trump's Medicaid Cuts May Lead to Over 16,500 Deaths, New Study Predicts https://twp.ai/4ioX8n

Well, that didn't last long. DHS told staff it was reversing guidance issued last week that agents were not to conduct immigration raids at farms, hotels and restaurants. Shadow President Stephen Miller wins again. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Melissa Hortman spoke truth with quiet force. Fierce and unflinching, she built common ground and her legacy echoes far beyond Minnesota. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFed... @dfl.org @kenmartin.bsky.social

@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."

The guy was a registered Republican evangelical and his best friend has said he was a Trump supporter who watched InfoWars. He was traveling around with a list of MORE Democrats he wanted to kill. MAGA: “See, we told you he was a Walz-loving Lib.” Are you fucking kidding me?

The Trump VA is now allowing healthcare providers to discriminate. The latest in yet another policy based on hate. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The #MN suspect had in his possession “at least 3” assault style rifles, a 9mm handgun, and potentially additional weapons according to the criminal complaint. Unfettered access to guns, including the ability to stockpile weapons meant for war, is literally killing us.

Not enough can be said about law enforcement making the call to go check Melissa Hortman's house. Although it was too late to stop Boelter, that decision probably prevented this from being a whole lot worse. www.fox9.com/news/minneso...

The bodies weren't even cold before MAGA spun up a conspiracy theory, deflecting blame for the Minnesota shooting and saying no, it was actually Democrats who did it. To themselves. It makes no logical sense. But it does encourage more MAGA violence. www.salon.com/2025/06/16/c...

The heartfelt emotion Melissa Hortman had in her voice when speaking up for her constituents. She's choking back tears here because she cares. This is so terribly sad.

Vance Boelter, the man who committed political violence by assassinating and shooting Democratic elected officials, was a Trump voting, registered Republican—a US citizen, not an immigrant.

Shoutout the 11 MILLION AMERICANS who protested this failed “President” yesterday Hearing it was one of the largest protests in American history So cool to be apart of it Now let’s make the voting line look like the protest line! WORDS TO ACTION!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Every single one led by a Black mayor.

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

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?

To the dads who protected us, provided for us, showed up—and taught us how to stand ten toes down: we see you, we love you, we thank you. Happy Father’s Day.

We, the people, have spoken!

MAGAs are so morally broken that they can't even bring themselves to condemn the assassinations of Democratic politicians in their homes. They would rather push an asinine false narrative than be decent human beings.

Thousands gathered to march to the state capitol in protest against the Trump administration Saturday, despite a potential threat of a wanted gunman.

Proud of Minnesotans

What a legacy and what a tragedy 19thnews.org/2025/06/rep-...

Several thousand showed up in Columbia SC today for the “No Kings” rally! #nokings

It’s frustrating that law enforcement was staging at our middle school and tracking a vicious murderer in North Minneapolis all day and residents receive no information or warning to stay in our homes and only knew about it from the people who live across the street from where the SWAT team parked.

This is an unspeakable tragedy. There will be more to say but for now, RIP Melissa and Mark.

Mass protests planned for June 14, everyone hit the streets. Every city, every capital. Resist and defend. #3E #HandsOff #Indivisible #FiftyFiftyOne #StopICE #NoKingsProtest Find a confirmed location here (more protests exist but are not listed): nokings.org#map

🚨June 17th!🚨 Greensboro, NC. Outside Senator Thom Tillis's office! Are you ready?👇

I don’t want to hear anymore of this BS about, “Don’t give Trump what he wants! He’s just itching to declare Martial Law!!” Goddamnit, do you REALLY think he won’t…no matter how Los Angeles reacts?! Of course he is. We have to stop with the “Be nice and maybe he won’t crush us” bullshit.

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”— Fuck you. Fuck you very much. You’re heartless.

Calling it a night for protesting in front of HBPD, thank you to everyone that showed up. We’re going to make it a nightly thing for as long as ICE and the National Guard are in LA, so if you didn’t make it this time, I’ll see you next time!
