These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of June 12, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

If Trump is willing to illegally roll the military into multiple Democratic states to quell a civil unrest that isn't happening, what do you think he's going to do during an election?

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

Being uninvited from the White House caused Rand Paul to lose a lot of the respect he had for Donald Trump that Trump’s two impeachments, insurrection, four criminal indictments, criminal conviction, and sexual abuse damages verdict did not cause him to lose. Got it.

Stephen Miller and U.S. Homeland Security amplify an image from white Christian nationalist CJay Engel -- who has been the subject of my investigations since he and his allies began their move into Jackson County, TN. 1/x

What a rotten reality to have a White House occupant who hates so many Americans and hates everything our democratic nation stands for.

“IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before. Such disrespect will not be tolerated!”—trump. Yet he pardoned more the 1500 violent criminals who attacked me and my colleagues.

he’s just completely vacuous. he talks in television sound-bytes and clearly does not think about a word coming out of his mouth

To clarify, the United States has 134 million dollars to send troops to LA to stifle dissent, but no money for food or healthcare. Got it. #FreedomToDissent #USDemocracy

Trump is trying to normalize the US military in our streets as an extension of his personal power with ever-expanding missions. This is an existential threat to democracy.

I think it may be time to watch Team America again.

Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys was a genius musician. His gift for layering harmony was unsurpassed. He will be missed by us all.

Thom Tillis wants to cut 10-15% from Medicare. That’s not about “efficiency,” it’s about ripping away care from seniors who depend on it. I joined @wcnc-charlotte.bsky.social to expose the harsh reality: Tillis’ plan would put the health of NC’s seniors at serious risk.

BEYER: Isn't this embarrassing? BESSENT: You seem not to have seen the economic data. GDP growth has been quite substantial BEYER: GDP growth is half what it was last year, sir BESSENT: Job growth is solid BEYER: Job growth is a third what it was last year, sir

lmfao

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

BREAKING: Beach Boys singer Mike Love tearfully announces he will no longer be able to sue Brian Wilson.

Sorry to hear Brian Wilson has died. The Beach Boys were the soundtrack of my summers, from "Surfin' Safari" on.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

He gives us new reasons to hate him every day. He’s like a cornucopia of shit.

Double.

Plaskett to Bessent: "Excuse me. Let me get something straight with you. I've seen you interrupt everyone. When you come to someone's house, you respect their rules. And in this house, we don't interrupt individuals. And you're not going to interrupt my time."

!!! Quinnipiac poll of 1,265 RVs, conducted from June 5-9, finds Trump at -11% approval on “immigration issues” and -16% on “deportations.” Full poll here: poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

You know what’s actually newsworthy and deserves a weekly editorial takedown? The unprecedented nature of Elon Musk owning a major communications platform while paying people to vote for Trump and then working in an unofficial official capacity in the White House.

This is actually a perfect joke

This yr office, bro?

"You cannot tell us how much the contract is for?" -- Pete Hegseth refuses to answer Sen. Reed's questions about the Trump's Qatari aircraft, including the cost of refurbishing it

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Actually the Confederacy was bad

Trump’s bill blocks millions of families from the full Child Tax Credit—just to give billionaires another break.

California’s farmworkers are the backbone of our economy. They work through grueling conditions – rain and shine, heat and cold, even a pandemic – to feed the nation. Targeting these workers is just wrong. And meant to stoke fear, not improve public safety.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

We feed you. They hunt us.

The deployment of Marines to Los Angeles was uncalled for, rushed, and potentially dangerous for everyone involved. We’re demanding answers from Sec. Hegseth. This isn't just a California problem. What Trump does in Los Angeles could become the authoritarian blueprint elsewhere in the country.

Will they be goose-stepping in that parade?

The law and order president who himself is a convicted felon...

When I see videos or photos like this, all I can think about is how at some point, this kid and his mom were in a store and saw that shirt and he liked it or thought it was cool so she bought it to make him happy.

Austin TX continued to use excessive force against their civilians into the night.

They keep talking about punishing protestors as if this country wasn’t FOUNDED BY PROTESTERS WHO ENSHRINED THE RIGHT TO PROTEST, I AM SO TIRED OF HOW STUPID THINGS HAVE BECOME

In the next civil war, "the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other." - Ulysses S. Grant, 1875

The founding fathers did not live and die to see this moment. It’s time for all of us to stand up peacefully.

Humiliated by China, Harvard, Elon Musk, and the federal courts, Trump has launched a war inside America on vulnerable people inside America. Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward.
