Yeah. I don't know much about Strait of Hormuz. But know something about China. Reaction in Zhongnanhai is going to be: ARE YOU KIDDING? GMAFB. [Chinese variants thereof.] And so on.

brilliant

Got a ConEd alert telling me to use less energy during the heat wave and this is all I can think about.

really great that an Iranian terrorist cell can simply order vests from amazon, dress up like masked ICE agents and walk into any building in the country to plant a bomb… and nobody would stop them. really great.

The fact that our military was perfectly happy to use weapons abroad in violation of the War Powers Act doesn't bode well for us when they are asked to use weapons at home in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

Just a reminder going forward... (cartoon from 2003)

Take note.

11. He hates CUNY and would further undermine us

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Chuck Schumer about to write the President a sternly-worded thank you note

Yet Luigi launched a thousand hand-wringing op-eds from the chattering class. Makes you think

I see America’s being America again

Guy who has golfed 33 days this year thinks Americans need to work more.

Trump EO: "Anyone who protests or criticizes me will hereby be shot in the face." Schumer statement: "Extrajudicial executions are just a distraction. What the Republicans aren't telling you is that those who survive the face-shootings will no longer be covered by Medicaid or Medicare."

It is time for state and local governments to arrest masked officers who won’t produce warrants and who have no proof someone is undocumented. Kidnappers should be arrested and indicted and tried for kidnapping and serve the many years such sentences carry.

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

When you are faced with the mendacity of Trump, Hegseth, & Johnson, it’s pointless to try & get clarity from them. Go to the trusted sources. If you want to understand how we got here and what Trump & Netanyahu are up to, I present to you she who knows: Christine Amanpour. Breaking. It. Down.

🔥 Senator Duckworth scorches Hegseth: "Your failures have been staggering… You're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe.” (She even went after his tattoos)

It’s hilarious to watch Mark Carney‘s facial expressions while Taco McTaterHead is talking. Mark might as well have stuffed a rag in his mouth at the end.😂🤣 Mark = Hero TaterHead = Zero

Someone said the word “decency” near her and she had an anaphylactic reaction. apple.news/AVVYTrIK9RLu...

Wild that the Times effectively endorses Andrew Cuomo for mayor while implying that Bill de Blasio's mayorship was a disaster and thus a huge problem for Mamdani, when as I recall the main problem with de Blasio's mayorship was... Andrew Cuomo

In the 1940 movie The Great Dictator, Charlie Chaplin gave a speech against fascism that is just as relevant today as it was back then. Right-wing Americans don't recognize fascism, even when it's right in front of their face, because they have been brainwashed by fascists their entire lives.

Spray paint a Tesla: domestic terrorism Targeted political assassination spree: not terrorism

This Day in Labor History: June 16, 1918. The socialist leader Eugene Debs gave a speech in Canton, Ohio, criticizing the United States’ actions in World War I and urging resistance to the draft. Two weeks later, Debs was arrested under the Espionage Act and charged with ten counts of sedition!!

NEW -- Dozens of communities have been devastated by windstorms, tornadoes, flooding and wildfires since Jan. 20, killing nearly 100 Americans. Donald Trump has not visited a single one. He has, however, managed 40 days of golf. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

The Saudi tyrant that so many American oligarchs, sports professionals, and politicians are sucking up to has just murdered another journalist.

Reactionary liberalism might be more vacuous and delusional than MAGA

Ah the clever Uvalde Gambit

Trump: Believe me! It was the biggest, most powerful parade in U.S. history. Putin called, was very jealous!

We, the people, have spoken!

Two of the three states with the largest population of people in the U.S. illegally are the red states of Texas and Florida. Trump, notably, does not name their cities when calling on ICE to execute more aggressive immigration raids . . .

Trump and Hegseth have proven that, with only six months of planning, the entire US military can be deployed to defend a few blocks of Pennsylvania Avenue. Xi and Putin must be trembling. by Marc Thiessen

When Los Angeles actually *was* burning down six months ago, these people didn't give a damn about us. Now they're spreading fake AI videos showing LA burning
