Goodnight 🌙 Fuck Trump Mobile

Still couldn’t come up with any proof the 2020 election was rigged. Defamed Eric Coomer received a judgement of $2.3 million. Hopefully he will get paid out. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Grateful that Brad Lander is using his experience to highlight the biggest outrage; that ICE is re-arresting people who have been 100% compliant with ICE and the courts, with the goal of unlawfully stripping them of a court hearing to juice Stephen Miller's deportation numbers.

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.

We are witnessing an epidemic of the abuse of the power of the federal government, including the criminal system, to target and intimidate Democrats and their supporters. Trump will escalate this until people stand up to him. It is time we all have the courage to peacefully stand up and say enough!

Back in February, Emil Bove claimed that Eric Adams even facing prosecution amounted to election interference in the NYC Mayoral primary. And then, today, Kristi Noem's goons detained Brad Lander DURING the election. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/17/k...

Hosted a powerful roundtable with @carecen_la, @chirla_org, & local civil rights organizations to address the ongoing ICE raids & alarming civil rights violations in our communities. In the face of Trump’s lawless attacks & intimidation, we stand united in our commitment to defend our communities.

they will never accept their loss

I'm going to say more tomorrow. But it SEEMS 3 things happened today. 1) Great reporting, esp from @gwynnefitz.bsky.social and @hellgatenyc.com, created immediate focus 2) People turned out peacefully 3) DOJ realized it couldn't file a dogshit case w/o bigger blowback than they'll already get

JUST IN: Kilmar Abrego Garcia retains private counsel to defend him in criminal immigrant smuggling case.

🚨 UNACCEPTABLE & FRIGHTENING 🚨 Today, NYC Comptroller Brad Lander—an elected official and U.S. citizen—was arrested by masked ICE agents at Federal Plaza while accompanying an immigrant whose case had been dismissed. This is an attack on democracy, civic duty, and New Yorkers’ fundamental rights.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

In happier news, E. Jean Carroll has a new book coming out and I suspect it's going to be delicious.

Thou shalt not arrest elected public officials for trying to speak for their constituents.

Someone go ahead and tell me again why and how Kamala Harris would have been worse than what we're experiencing now. Go on.

The entire GOP lies because the truth is not kind to them.

Melissa Hortman was only 55 years old. She had a lot more to do. It is so bitter and so sad that her life was taken - assassinated for fighting for what she believed in. It will now be up to us to carry on these fights.

Schatz: People are seeing what chaos really looks like. We are on the brink of some very dangerous developments in the Middle East, and we have chaos inside the US—not chaos the federal government can’t control, but chaos the federal government is, in some instances, precipitating or making worse.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

Former Sen. Bob Menendez — the onetime powerful chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee — reports to prison for 11-year sentence.

“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.

Does anything in this picture say, "federal agents making a lawful arrest?" Perhaps they identified themselves. But when did it go out of fashion for law enforcement to look like law enforcement?

NEW: Gov. Hochul announces that the state is dedicating $50 million for legal assistance for immigrants like those who may be targeted by ICE when leaving the federal courthouse

NEW: New York Attorney General Letitia James on the arrest of NYC mayoral candidate and comptroller Brad Lander. “This is profoundly unacceptable. Arresting Comptroller Lander for the simple act of standing up for immigrants and their civil rights is a shocking abuse of power.”

As she recovers, I hope Kristi Noem has a come to Jesus moment and realizes she is abusing her power to impose cruelty against innocent Americans and that her behavior is un-Christian and anti-God. Amen.

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) Mayor Ras Baraka (D-Newark) Judge Hannah Dugan (WI) Controller Brad Lander (D-NYC) This is not normal. This is not okay. We cannot let them convince us that this is normal or okay.

Many people are saying that the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is hiding out at Mar-a-Lago.

CNN: Breaking news just into CNN, sources say DHS secretary Kristi Noem this afternoon has been taken to the hospital.

As this conflict continues, the Trump administration must do more to prioritize the safety of Americans and assist those seeking to leave Israel and the region. I will continue to push the State Dept to dedicate more resources to help Americans safely evacuate.

Oh good, finally an update with some info about the war he’s getting us into.

“OK, Boomer” just got flipped on its head. At protests across the country this past weekend, older Americans turned out in force, leading chants, waving signs and showing that resistance has no age limit. And their passion isn’t just inspiring. It might be what helps save democracy.

ABOLISH ICE. We don't want masked, armed thugs that terrorize America. We don't need ICE. Enough.

FIRST ON MSNBC: "It was not gentle." New York City Comptroller Brad Lander speaks with @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @allinwithchris.bsky.social hours after his arrest at a federal courthouse in the city.

Sen. Alex Padilla on the Senate floor: "If that is what the administration is willing to do to a United States senator for having the authority to simply ask a question, imagine what they'll do to any American who dares to speak up." "I pray you never have a moment like this."

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

And definitely not the last.

PM Carney on Golden Dome: Russia is an aggressor, our nature is no longer a sufficient shield. Partnering with Americans makes sense, such as we do with NORAD; we will pursue these discussions as long as these make sense To another Q, he shared that Trump did not bring up the 51st state at all

Call your two Senators to vote "NO" on Trump's bill before July 4th. "Last night, the Senate released their blueprint for Trump’s terrible budget. Still cutting Medicaid. Still cutting SNAP. And still using that money for billionaire tax breaks."

I am not afraid of Donald Trump. I am not afraid of Tom Homan. I will stand up for the people of Illinois.

Just one more first on a list that is already too long

🕊️ RIP Melissa and husband Mark Hortman 🕊️ Just days before losing such a kind soul, #MelissaHortman gets emotional at the thought of #immigrants losing their #healthcare.

I am a little late on this one - but Moderna published their phase 3 trial of a combined influenza/covid mRNA vaccine in adults age 50+. Great immunogenicity. Mild, short-term side effects (muscle aches, fatigue, etc). This is good news. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
