I just renewed my passport online. Now I won’t have to worry about voting ID and if shit gets crazy I have options.

🧵:

What I keep thinking about is the ghostwriter he waved the Iran war plans in front of, and how he bragged about how he made the military draw them up for him. He's been wanting this war for years, y'all. He had plans drawn up in his first term.

A CONTROVERSIAL “APPEAL to Heaven” flag that has recently become associated with the “Stop the Steal” movement and Christian nationalism was flown above the Small Business Administration (SBA) agency last week in Washington, DC.

How much deeper into physical and mental decline must Trump descend before elected Republicans grasp they have a duty to their country?

WOW! SpaceX’s Starship 36 just exploded in a massive fireball prior to launch.

The takeaway from the Tucker Carlson Ted Cruz interview is that the American public has been so badly cheated for so long by the people pretending to be the political media that when anyone asks a basic follow up that an 8th grade schoolpaper reporter would it feels like cutting edge journalism

Justice Clarence Thomas accusing *anyone* of allowing politics to influence their conclusions is rich.

The whole world is burning but on a personal note..I was a fucking Rock Star at work today! Yay me!

It took Netanyahu 29 years, but he finally found an American president who was itching to go to war with him against Iran.

Powell: "Increases in tariffs this year are likely to push up prices and weigh on economic activity."

With everything else going on, the Senate sent the Big 💩 Bill back to the House, and made some changes. Here’s one:

Carney winking & Macron trying not to laugh. Priceless!

Moulton: I have heard that a lot of officers are considering resigning their commissions because they question whether this is constitutional—whether they’re violating their oath to protect and defend the Constitution, not the president, by carrying out these orders. These are active discussions

They are taking money from the poor to hand to the rich. Reverse Robin Hood politics. We must reject the “Big Beautiful” Bullshit.

This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy. Shame on every official who signed off on this. You’re not protecting children, you’re abandoning them.

Instead of sending expensive American jets to bomb a far away country, can’t we just fix our airports. I am sitting on another delayed flight. But hey there’s always money for war. What a joke.

Hey, Mike. As someone whose wife barely survived an assassination attempt, let me tell you: Your joke isn't funny and you have an entire state to apologize to.

“Over 250 million acres of public lands are eligible for sale in the bill, including local recreation areas, wilderness study areas and inventoried roadless areas.” www.wilderness.org/articles/med...

It’s no coincidence that there’s always a major catastrophe or crisis in the Middle East when the orange felon is in power which is even more proof that crime slumlord Jared Kushner’s fake Middle East peace mission was nothing more than a scheme to earn his $2B Saudi paycheck.

Parnas: He sends the Marines into American cities not to protect us, folks, but to silence us. He ignores court orders like they’re optional. He surrounds himself with loyalists who exist solely to carry out his will. This is a leadership style that’s called authoritarianism.

Tonight, I introduced legislation to stop Trump from from leading us into an illegal war with Iran. Another war in the Middle East could cost countless lives, waste trillions more dollars, and lead to even more deaths, more conflict, and more displacement.

"A reporter from @thecity.nyc had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, 'Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?'"

Don’t you just love Pussy Riot? ❤️ www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

The Iran situation is just another WMD hoax. I remember years ago when they were ‘weeks away’ from creating a nuclear weapon!

Moulton: It turns out the U.S. Army is not great at doing Soviet-style or North Korean-style parades, because that’s not what people sign up to do… Imagine how much veteran housing you could build for $40 million. You could help a lot of vets with that kind of money. And this parade helped nobody.

ICE Director Todd Lyons comments on Brad Lander: We can't have anyone interfering with our arrest operations.

Psychopathic

Trump is back to selling scams—this time, it's a $499 phone. He’s doing what he does best: turning the presidency into a business deal. Republicans spent years investigating the Bidens despite no evidence of corruption or pay to play. (1/2)

⚡️ A Russian shadow fleet oil tanker went up in flames after colliding with another ship near the UAE.

“Until they become conscious they will never rebel and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.” George Orwell, 1984 What will it take for the entire country to “become conscious”? #Voices4Victory

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

Breaking News: Senator Bernie Sanders endorsed Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor, calling him a “visionary” leader.

The new trade agreement between the US and the UK was, apparently, written with invisible ink.

“We” are fighting a foreign war with zero consultation with or authorization from Congress, and no address to the nation other than Truth Social posts.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody. We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza. Together we are standing up for those with no voice.

Tina Smith confronted her Senate colleague Mike Lee over his social media post that blamed the Minnesota lawmaker shootings on “Marxists.”
