Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."

The assertion Iran is on the cusp of developing a nuclear weapon isn’t supported by the facts, but does justify Israeli aggression when Netanyahu needs to distract from Gaza, his own political troubles, and get the US away from the negotiating table.

REMINDER: Netanyahu convinced Trump in 2018 to withdraw US from Iran nuclear deal that Obama and allies had negotiated. That Deal would've prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. The death and destruction we're seeing now is 100% bc of Trump & Netanyahu www.timesofisrael.com/in-recording...

Turns out Netanyahu was lying about Iran getting close to developing a nuclear weapon… #DemVoice1

CNN put together a collection of clips of Netanyahu warning Iran is close to a nuclear weapon going back to 1996 ht: @acyn.bsky.social

BREAKING: Social Security’s trustees report that the system is fully affordable, as long as we make the wealthy pay in at the same rate as the rest of us.

The fact an American President got members of the military to boo American citizens should send chills through everyone. There's going to be a rump of the military that's prepared to do whatever he wants.

Hypocrisy much!?!

Its very possible we might find ourselves at war with Iran because of a bad parade, Fox News, and a clown car Cabinet and it doesn't have to happen. My latest. Hope you'll read, subscribe, and share!

people keep saying this is like the iraq war, but, no, this is worse, the admin has not even attempted to make a case for this, and republicans want a king

Would you look at that.

Featured story: "Not only are we looking at being politically hobbled by the last election, but we have the full might of not only the Texas GOP, the Republican leadership, but also the White House. How many times in our history has the White House made a phone call or made demands on our body?"

The justices’ 6-3 decision in a case from Tennessee effectively protects from legal challenges many efforts by President Donald Trump’s administration and state governments to roll back protections for transgender people. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Utah voters: Are these really your values? Mike Lee is the best you can do?

Mike Lee Stresses He Would Have Posted Same Thing If Own Family Savagely Murdered

Hadn’t heard about this but it’s pretty fucked up, and looks an awful lot like Congress enthusiastically ceding its own power to be consolidated under this and only this executive.

i'll keep saying it: if people like Noem, Homan & Musk dont face charges for outrageous corruption, disregard of the law & abuse of power they arent even intended to have, American democracy can never and will never recover from this administration, it will just be open season going forward.

lol just about as open as you be can about corruption. You gotta tip your hat at the brazenness.

"I have never seen such open corruption in any modern government anywhere." --- Harvard prof Steven Levitsky "“Donald Trump has turned the presidency into a crypto cash machine." -- Sen. Elizabeth Warren No Democrat should be shilling for this industry. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This photo. ICE is a gang.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

That’s how fascism works. Society is quickly being remade in the image of the fascist who now dominate it. This is why I was so adamant over the last few months, talking about the social construction of democracy, and how it was being repurposed to facilitate the social reproduction of fascism.

From many, one (nation united in despising Ted Cruz)

WATCH: “You’re a U.S. senator and you don’t know anything about the country you want to topple.” Tucker Carlson embarrasses @sentedcruz as he pushes for war with Iran

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

I don’t know what to do with the emotions this is causing me to feel.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

Always.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 😆😆😅 With only 8% built, Texas quietly defunds state border wall program

At least the REST of the G7 can speak AGAINST PUTIN......what a FRIGGIN EMBARRASSMENT...

"You exploited the murder of a lifetime public servant and her husband to post some sick burns about Democrats...Have you absolutely no conscience? No decency?" — open letter to Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) published in the Salt Lake Tribune

For a lot of relatively comfortable Americans, electing an emotionally incontinent imbecile was a bit of entertainment. A game. Good sport, owning those libs. I hope they’re duly entertained.

Newsom has a lot to make up for after his podcast, but the reality is that he is one of the few elected Democrats effectively fighting back in terms of messaging/comms irl and on social media. We need to meet voters where they are and that is online. Continuing to ignore this will be fatal.

NY Governor Kathy Hochul inside 26 Federal Plaza now, seeking answers from DHS/ICE about the arrest of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, who is still being detained. @thecity.nyc "How long is this going to take, I don't think he has a long rap sheet," Hochul says to agents.

The organization representing construction workers across B.C. has written an open letter to BC Ferries slamming the company's decision to award a contract for four new vessels to a Chinese company. globalnews.ca/news/1124592...

That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.” /1

This past weekend, citizens of Venice, Italy, expressed their distaste for the upcoming wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren SĂĄnchez by protesting.

Bezos' lavish nuptials in Venice later in June could be disrupted by angry locals set on jumping in the city's canals to stop it.
