Is it a coincidence that Jesse James is remembered as some American hero when in fact he was a POS confederate soldier? Probably not.

Here's NYTs lede for story describing the Marines detaining an American veteran. It doesn't even get the stated purpose for the deployment correct, which is to protect federal resources and law enforcement. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/u...

Instead of funding a military parade, we should be funding SNAP and Medicaid. It’s that simple.

The targeted attack on Minnesota state lawmakers, Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, is absolutely horrific. Violence like this has no place in a democracy. I’m praying for their healing, their families, and every public servant who has to wonder if doing their job makes them a target.

The Trump administration handed over the immigration status of millions of Medicaid enrollees to deportation officials, data that could be used to locate and remove people as part of his sweeping crackdown.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

#AOC: They have released chaos in LA by violently raiding and ripping apart peaceful public spaces and now they are tackling and arresting US sitting members of Congress while going on the record and lying about what happened. This is an out of control agency.

I can only imagine the outrage if a Democratic administration went through with the spectacle of a Presidential Birthday Parade after politicians had been assassinated that very morning.

Kristi Noem is a psychopath. We know that. But someone please tell me WHY these people require 10 men with high-powered rifles to enter a home with children? Did this man murder someone? No. Did he launch an insurrection? No. Then why is this necessary. It's grotesque. It's all grotesque.

What happened yesterday was part of a much bigger effort to try and silence anyone who dares to question what the Trump administration is doing. But we will not be intimidated and we will not be deterred. We must hold this administration accountable.

Tambourines. Trumpets. "Blasting horns so the little fuckers had a terrible sleep.” Demonstrators outside LA-area hotels—where ICE agents are believed to be sleeping—are employing creative methods to keep those agents awake. @annamerlan.bsky.social writes on "No sleep for ICE."

NYT found the “big beautiful bill” would be the largest transfer from the poor to the rich in a single law since at least 1990. In fact, it would be the largest transfer ever. Reagan’s low-income cuts were MUCH smaller - and his tax cuts were done separately. And before him, nothing comes close.

Rieckhoff: Trump, smartly—and maybe stupidly—chose to hit the military first. They’re using the military and the Pentagon as a test case for everything they want to do in America. And what I’d say is: if they can come after us, they can come after anyone.

It's time for Trump, who's openly called for Civil War, encourages MAGAts to shoot people he doesn't like, has embraced violence as a means to an end & is hell bent on destroying democracy to be declared a domestic terrorist. #ProudBlue #NoKingsDay #NoKingsProtest #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

Folks who voted for Trump did so because they felt like he was giving them their pride back when in reality he was stripping them of their last shred of dignity & decency. They now move as one, a salty, greasy horde wrapped in polyester & false patriotism sliding into oblivion.
