The day Netanyahu and Donald Trump go to The Hague will be a good day. Bonus for Leon too.

(1,3) My friend @walshfreedom.bsky.social is fighting, and he is fighting for America. He is making a decision today that only a year ago he could not have made. Trust me, as someone who traveled with him fighting for Democracy, socialcontractwithjoewalsh.substack.com/p/from-the-t...

1. Missoula, Montana has cleverly voted to defy the Pride flag ban by making the it "an official city flag." This comes after a law banned the flying of the flag but made an exception for "official flags." Now, the Pride flag will fly defiantly in the state. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Love this. Good people stepping up when the system fails our kids.

Yes, we realize it and we agree with the rest of the world. Unfortunately we are ruled by the minority of idiots in America because of fear and hate.

Canadians make up the largest proportion—nearly 28 percent—of international travelers visiting Florida. They also comprise the largest number of international visitors for the entire United States. But that comfortable relationship may be taking a turn.

🚨Trump’s ego birthday parade isn’t about strength—it’s a spectacle for a draft dodger who’s gutting Veterans care while playing dress-up with the military. “Weak, insecure nations do military parades... this is an absolute mockery.” — Max Rose, VoteVets Senior Advisor

"The idea that we're flying blind is so terrifying." Nicolle Wallace talks with Rachel Maddow about how Ukraine's surprise attack on Russia is an indication of how poorly the Trump administration understands, not just our adversaries, but our allies as well.

“This is very much connected to the rise of authoritarianism that we’ve seen across the country,” said the executive director of the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center. “They can’t win fairly, so they’re trying to rewrite the rules to get their way.”

Yes, why yes you are. #Pinks

Loyalty tests have officially arrived in the federal hiring process. The Trump administration just unveiled a so-called “Merit Hiring Plan”, which includes a quiz asking job applicants to name their favorite Trump policy or executive order.
