Iran formed military alliances that went right up to israel's border and have now been defensively attacked. They should negotiate, pledge neutrality & disarm. Apparently that's how this works.

NEW: Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes DENIES the Trump administrations bid to detain Mr. Abrego pending trial in a SCATHING rebuke of the government's evidence. www.muellershewrote.com/p/judge-deni...

I have to ask: did the government change this birthdate to try and prove Mr. Abrego had a minor in the car during the 2022 traffic stop? It looks like it was changed from 2001 to 2007, doesn't it? The trump administration has done this before...

It’s okay. People only care about the price of eggs.

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

The Russians, who have been murdering Ukrainian civilians and bombing cities for three years, are suddenly very worried about "gross violation of international law" and "global and regional security" www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/06/22/r...

Iran's foreign minister is in Moscow to be told what others have already learned. That an alliance with Russia means 1 of 2 things will happen: -Russia will attack you anyway -Russia will do nothing while someone else attacks you.

Where's Jill Stein?

DONAKD J. TRUMP

2003: Launching preemptive war on the basis of faulty intelligence. 2025: Launching preemptive war on the basis of “vibes” and “gut feelings.” 😑

Trump’s attacks on Iran were based on vibes, not new intel, two administration officials tell Rolling Stone. “There is no intel,” one of the sources says. “The intelligence assessments have not really changed”

"Iran’s top delegation is heading to Moscow. Oil prices are about to spike—and guess who benefits? Russia. More money for Putin’s war machine. Zelensky just dropped a bombshell: Putin isn’t stopping at Donbas. He has intelligence suggesting escalation into the Baltics, Poland, and beyond."

For we anti imperialists history started again when Nazis attacked USSR. This is important principle in our fight against colonialism. Now you can learn all you need from Prez's book at 25% off with code "DarthSummerSale" 🔗📚👇

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

More MAGA hypocrisy.

there is no point to the Democratic Party anymore. I used to say, well, you can throw out your local leaders, throw out your state leaders, and so on. you can't throw out an influential former president! you can't fix that.

Trump is bombing Iran. So why does it feel like Biden is the one who started the war?

“Shut up and trust our infallible leader.”

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “lmao" said Gandalf, “well it has.”

Is Susan Collins concerned yet

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

We must not make a scarecrow of the law, Setting it up to fear the birds of prey, And let it keep one shape, till custom make it Their perch and not their terror.

Please never say this phrase.

Utah's senior senator caught some heat this week thanks to his online persona. #utpol

Trump is mad as a hatter. 🎩

Opinion | A war with Iran would be catastrophic. We must appease Trump by letting him invade Greenland instead.

In this Ohio diner, Fordow is what you say when you get hit by your buddy’s pick-up truck. But they do know this: Trump’s decision to wait two weeks on Iran is the greatest military move since Hannibal brought elephants over the Alps

Elon helped put into power a political party that doesn’t believe in climate change or renewable energy. Time for him to take a look in the mirror.

AMEN

i appreciate the kind words but this is an op-ed calling for my charges to be dropped, not a news story saying that they were!!!

He moseyed over, dragging a lawn chair behind him. Unfolding it, he settled in with a contented sigh. He pulled a cigarette out of a crumpled pack and lit it, taking a long, slow drag. Exhaling a stream of blue smoke, the eleventh ant muttered under his breath, “Fuck your rules.”

yes it’s a big mystery why people who think empathy is evil don’t become therapists

I think we all know why, Eric.

So, a Fox personality calls for ICE to go to Dodger Stadium and then it happens a couple of days later. Our leaders now just getting their marching orders from right wing media.

Juneteenth: simultaneously the celebration of a Republican victory and a fake, woke holiday. Which one is it?

God and good men hate so foul a liar.

CBP under Trump: "I encountered a young woman, in tears, begging the guard for information. He told her he had no information to give her and that none would be forthcoming. 'That woman,' he said, pointing to a bundle of blankets in the corner, 'has been here for four days.'"

The NFL's original plan was to administer a lesson of no Sanders being drafted at all.

MAGA: Make Asbestos Great Again

“I hate the commemoration of the end of slavery so much that I’ll commemorate it by forcing my people to work!”

You know how crazy it is to be like "I hate Black people so much that I am going to work a double shift"

To be fair, he probably can't remember any of these tweets.

Oh, gee, what big issue might he have relented on that the south was really pushing for? Very hard to pinpoint.
