Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

The facts of the case suggest that there is “at least something to the underlying claim” that the government is using the immigration system to punish Khalil for his activism, the judge said. “And of course that would be unconstitutional.” www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Mystal: It all goes back to Dobbs. It tells everyone on that side that they’re open for business to take away, to smash, every civil right they don’t like. We’re living in the post-Dobbs era.. it’s going to take some time before the country has a moment of clarity about what’s really happened here.

Realize Congress hasn’t passed a budget since Pelosi in 22. We’ve had CR after CR since the last budget Dems passed because Republicans can’t agree to anything. Now Johnson & our new King think they can unify them with an $880BILLION cut to Medicaid & a $4+TRILLION tax cut? LOL #DontCutOurMedicaid

The Social Security trust fund could be depleted by 2033, according to a new report from its trustees. There's a simple way to fix this: scrap the cap on the Social Security payroll tax. https://youtu.be/GfZuB7XSFys?si=p8Zw3o6MIfQi9xoo

I'm sure by now, many are referring to Trump as TWO WEEK TACO. It's an accurate reference but should be spelled as: TOO WEAK TACO.

Donald Trump said that there would be no new wars if he was President. He said he’d secure an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine. He lied.

I admire Jackson's restraint in not saying "Your 'textualism' and 'originalism' are 100% bullshit and you know it. They're just tools you use to arrive at whatever outcome you want, then cloak it in a phony methodology, you utterly dishonest wankers."

ICE's increasingly aggressive tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They do not make us any safer. I’m calling for an independent investigation right now — this abuse of power must end.

This interpreter saved lives in Afghanistan and fled when he had a target on his back from the Taliban. His brother was granted asylum a few months ago with nearly identical documentation. ICE is fulfilling quotas, humanity be damned www.npr.org/2025/06/19/n...

I think it should be a bigger story that the Senate is preparing to confirm five Trump judicial nominees whose answers to questions about the 2020 election are exactly what you would say if you were a “Trump only lost because of voter fraud” conspiracy theorist

Trump suggests he’s going to take tonight’s win in the courts and potentially deploy the National Guard to other cities. “…but this is much bigger than Gavin, because all over the United States, if our Cities, and our people, need protection, we are the ones to give it to them…”

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

Reminder: Elon Musk, whose Starship just blew up on the test stand (with extra fuel tanks piled beside it), was allowed for THIRTY YEARS to lie about his training in science. He started lying in 1995, got trapped in the lie - and suffered no consequences. But physics itself has consequences. 1/

The top .1% stops paying into social security by January 19th. Scrapping the cap would generate up to $388 billion per year and keep Social Security solvent. Social Security is only being depleted because we refuse to make people pay their fair share.

I guess it's official now. The only federal court the Trump administration believes it has to obey is the Supreme Court and even then, they'll "see."
