Okay. Did Trump really sign and announce a ceasefire deal all by himself without anyone in Iran signing ogg?! Sounds like his executive order strategy.

This seems like such a comedy of errors! How are you going to engage in discussion about where the uranium is AFTER you've dropped dozens of 30,000 pound bombs where you THOUGHT it was. Iranians are supposed to just tell you now?!

Clearly, MAGA America is getting the wake-up call that they in fact are NOT in control of the government that they voted into power. The US is apparently a vassal state of Israel. Prove me wrong.

Don't Miss the Memo - A Juneteenth sermon by Rev. William Barber for your listening pleasure.

We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info. The secret police behavior we’re seeing destroys trust & must end🧵

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

The man suspected of shooting two Democratic lawmakers and their spouses in their homes in what officials describe as politically motivated attacks was arrested and charged Sunday evening after a sprawling manhunt involving more than 100 officers. wapo.st/3FFrkBL

🚨 BREAKING: Israel strikes Iran

Sen Padilla @padilla.senate.gov-who has since been released- was manhandled & forced to the ground by agents for asking a question. They want to quell our voices. They want 1-party authoritarian rule. As frightening as these assaults are, we must NEVER grow silent! www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

After their late-night rush job, some House Republicans regret not reading their OWN bill. Senate Republicans- don’t let yourselves be steamrolled: Find out what’s actually in the 1,037-page Medicaid- & SNAP-slashing GOP Tax Scam 2.0 BEFORE you vote on it!

I keep reminding myself: America voted for this. Let's see how deporting these people is going to make the nation any greater.

Homeland Security tried entering 2 elem schools at the US/Mex border. But Superintendent Alberto Carvelho denied them access, reflecting on his own immigration path. 👏 "Do not underestimate the power of the immigrant child who may very well become an adult who does well & good by 🇺🇸!" ♥️ #OnYourSide

This interview makes you wonder whose really running things?!🤔

🎧 NC Gov Josh Stein sets the record straight for @colbertlateshow (Insta). Despite what Johnson & Vought say, if the Big BS Bill passes, as is, "hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians will lose their health insurance." Colbert: What can North Carolinians do? Stein: "Call your Senators!" ☎️

Yikes

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

Elon can't even get right something we accomplished over 60 years ago... and your tax dollars are paying for it. That's the waste, fraud and abuse.

While at UVA, I never took one of Larry Sabato's courses, but his reach and impact were widespread. "Politics is good" was a mantra that his students constantly echoed and which impacted the culture. He has influenced thousands of young minds over the years.

As I recall, George W even wanted us to buy duct tape to prepare for chemical and biological attacks after 9/11. #ducttapelore

This is like asking the human trafficker to get a conscience. Stop the money flow, and the problem will be solved.

I guess Europe is recruiting new citizens. Meanwhile, we're recruiting Boers. My "how the mighty have fallen."

Lions and Tigers and bears. Oh my!!😮

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

I see this as bait for Black folk. Many have stayed out of recent protests. I think its bait so that some will have an excuse to attack us. Well, I say, "Release him! See how long he makes it on these streets." Prison, solitary, is likely the safest place for him. I won't protest, only watch.

From his home in suburban Chicago, John Prevost, Pope Leo XIV's brother, reflected on his brother’s ascent to the papacy, his values and his American roots. “The best way I could describe him right now is that he will be following in Francis’ footsteps,” Prevost said. nyti.ms/43wrALh

Egg prices are through the roof—and giant egg producers are raking in record profits. Working families deserve to know if those sky-high prices are because of out-of-control corporate greed. Senator Banks and I are pressing the Department of Justice to get answers.

A Navy fighter jet failed to land on an aircraft carrier and plummeted into the Red Sea on Tuesday, marking the fourth major mishap involving the vessel and the third loss of a fighter jet deployed with it since the warship left home last year.

"If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they are likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment." -Jerome Powell, Chair of the Federal Reserve

At a 24-hour vigil to protect Medicaid on the National Mall in Washington, DC, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) was to the point: to protect democracy, Medicaid has to be protected, too.

Tesla sales in Germany and Britain fell to their lowest point in more than two years in April, cementing a wider trend of Europeans shunning the U.S. automaker.

I sure hope they can find new markes. This is a hard hit!

I listened to President Trump call Rep. Jasmine Crockett a "low IQ individual" and I realized I had heard that before, so put the question to ChatGPT.
