MUST SEE: Congresswoman Schrier nails conspiracy theorist and unfortunate HHS Secretary, RFK Jr., on the value of vaccines—and it’s glorious. Schrier also happens to be the first pediatrician in Congress.

Kill the brutal bill. Before it kills us.

Today is Day 74. Still waiting on those amazing deals.

Senator Mitch McConnell: “I know a lot of us are hearing from people back home about Medicaid. But they’ll get over it.” (Punchbowl News)

The President took the United States to war with Iran without the authorization of Congress.   He claims the military operations were a success but is now refusing to brief the Congress or explain his actions in a timely manner.   Why is there a delay?

Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it? But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

How do they get away with this? The bill they passed cuts Medicaid by $793 BILLION. $793 BILLION. It's in the bill. They wrote it. Their own budget office says 10 million people will lose Medicaid coverage. Just wild.

Probably not a coincidence Trump cancelled the Senate classified briefing for this afternoon.

“Today, we may live in an even more cynical era, when political leaders, instead of acting on their own fears of violence, instrumentalize other people’s fear.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/o...

We're getting very close to an *actual* WAR IS PEACE Fox news banner.

Welp.

Take note.

Hitler was also squeamish about the violence he incited never wanted to know details which would upset him... Drumpf runs from responsibility for his crimes...

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

It’s all we could hope for: there were infinite multiples more Americans protesting than watching his stupid SDE (small dick energy) parade. And the protests drew far more media coverage, which he will hate 👏👏👏

🥹 Millions of Americans are coming together on this #NoKings Day to reject authoritarian overreach, defend democracy, and stand up for their communities.

When things get difficult over the next few years remember today. The number of people who want democracy vastly outnumber the people who want a king.

Dozens of "No Kings" protests to demonstrate against President Trump’s administration are happening today in Oregon and Washington. OPB reporters will be covering protests in Portland, Newberg and Hillsboro, and we will also be working with news partners to provide coverage from across the PNW.

NO KINGS Protest plans… My daughter’s home from college after her first year, and we’re marching for democracy together at the No Kings rally later today. These are our signs (front/back). Please drop photos of your signs or your favorites in the replies all day. Stay safe out there. 🙏🏽

Donald Trump needs to address the nation right now and condemn the Minnesota shootings and all forms of political violence. It’s the bare minimum we should expect from any president.

Are Donald Trump and MAGA gonna condemn the shooting deaths of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband or nah?
