Shameful. Unlawfully deployed troops detaining a veteran on his way to the VA.

This is the most dangerous thing Trump has done since taking office and the silence from Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker and House Chair Mike Rogers is deafening, and a betrayal of their duty to the military and the Republic.

The Purpose of Trump's Terror: What Trump Wants In LA Is Blood "The goal isn’t to scare off a few undocumented gardeners and housekeepers or terrify asylum-seeking mothers. It’s to normalize the idea that active-duty troops can be used on American streets against American citizens." bit.ly/4dYG8Ig

Oh.

He added, “I can tell you that if they try to do that in Mobile, Alabama, the orthopedic hand surgeons will have one hell of a weekend fixing hands. That barricade can become a weapon.” www.al.com/news/2025/06...

A piece of advice from an old retired soldier to the commanders and leaders currently serving: Review the regulations & policies addressing political behavior when wearing the uniform, and then address those standards with your teams.

OXNARD, Calif. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) targeted workers on produce farms in Ventura County Tuesday morning around 6 am, in one of the latest raids in Southern California. The raids come as the federal government ramps up immigration enforcement in Southern California.

Chicago ICE Protests!

These rescuers attached a sausage to a drone to lure a stranded dog named Millie back to safety. 14/10 for everybody

Double.

He’s having a fever dream…

Look what Jake Tapper did to us. His garbage book—which contains none of the proof it claims to include—is the foundation a vile madman will now use to justify ending our democracy by undoing actions he’d otherwise not be able to touch. Democracy dies as Tapper swims in gold, Scrooge McDuck-style.

Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1961...

When you keep mentioning Biden to me, you just sound like a Fox News anchor.

This is very bad Once they start screwing with the data, that’s the whole ballgame

🚨WOW. It turns out that a "Tren de Aragua gathering" the Trump admin said it broke up in March ... was just a BIRTHDAY PARTY. None of the people arrested at the party seem to have any criminal record — and none have been charged criminally in the months since it happened. Read the story below.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Holy crap!

Will we see a repeat of this 2022 Trump post?

The GOP Tax Scam is a disgusting abomination. Truer words have never been spoken.

ICE dressed up like utility workers who offer "free estimates" if invited inside. Neighbor recorded the ICE goons and intervened, just before a young boy let them into his home. Tucson Electric Power was not told ICE agents would be impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.

A win! The Trump administration is backing off its demand that states hand over personal data on SNAP recipients after a lawsuit. In a sworn statement filed in federal court, the USDA said it is pausing its plan to build a national database of Americans receiving food assistance.

Whitehouse on Trump’s attacks on Leonard Leo: This whole thing is hysterical… The fact that Trump is furious with him right now may signal a dawning realization: that he actually might not have truly chosen his Supreme Court appointees.

Duh. It was a surprise. They didn’t want Putin to know.👇
