They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

The world may be burning, but it's not a bad time to be a BYU fan, all things considered. (Yes, the end of the world coming right as BYU sports are finally good would absolutely track.)

A funeral has been planned for the man killed in the Salt Lake City "No Kings" protest, with a public service held at a downtown convention center.

LENOIR CITY, TN — pregnant fiancée of an American lost her baby in ICE detention after they denied her prenatal care after pleading for help for days. (@ltgovmcnally & @lowellrussell21’s district) Unimaginable cruelty. @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

Some recruiting news: 5-star QB Ryder Lyons commits to BYU. Would be BYU's first 5-star recruit since 2002. www.nytimes.com/athletic/644...

Yes, indeed. WTF?????? 😳

Remember when JD Vance went to Germany to lecture them about free speech? That was hilarious.

BREAKING: Iran just broke the ceasefire that Trump said would “last forever”. Israel's defence minister orders "powerful strikes" on Tehran.

“PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!”

💯

Let’s all say it together.

Objectively one of the most insane things he has ever posted

Meanwhile, in the real world, at least three were just killed by a missile strike in southern Israel

We're getting very close to an *actual* WAR IS PEACE Fox news banner.

Dr. Charles Nichols, longtime friend of Dr. Richard Kimball, and shareholder and spokesperson for the new miracle drug Provasic, has endorsed Cuomo.

"His whims are our policy, his moods are our policy, his rages are our policy." Independent journalist Terry Moran joined us for Coffee With Contrarians this morning

In this Ohio diner, dropping a bomb still means what you do 8 hours after eating the house special chicken fried steak. But they do know this: America's military is ready for war with Iran with the Fox News weekend co-host running the show.

An ice cream store in Rochester's deep blue South Wedge might seem like a strange place to meet Trump supporters. But over the indie folk sounds of Big Thief you can hear whispers that DEI is the reason a quart of toasted marshmallow ice cream is $12.

The more I study American history the more I’m astounded by how many civil war battles were fought in national parks

Yep. She heard it like we heard it.

Imagine being stupid or craven enough to call this man “conservative” 🙄

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.”
