The president is throwing a military parade today, despite his track record of disrespecting veterans and service members and cutting 83k jobs from the Dept. of Veterans Affairs. Former VA Secretary David Shulkin joins me at 10aET for the truth behind Trump's record with the military & vets. #Velshi

Trump wants to look strong. What he doesn’t understand is that true power comes from the people. And today, we’re going to prove it with thousands of peaceful protests: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #nokings

“We can’t do anything,” Caroline Dias Goncalves' relative said. “We’re scared. We’re not in jail with her, but we feel like it.” Her mom hasn’t stopped crying since she learned her daughter was being held and her dad is pacing constantly.

The latest move by the Trump administration to share personal information of Medicaid recipients with DHS should deeply concern everyone. Targeting families for their immigration status is a dangerous breach and we’re exploring all avenues to protect their information.

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

Either a colossal U.S. intelligence failure or Trump was directly involved in Israeli attack plans. How can any country negotiate in good faith again with Trump?

The Trump administration will soon ensure that its 50% steel tariffs, which have threatened to make everything containing steel more expensive, will apply to your next fridge or dishwasher.

People are having very strange conversations with ChatGPT, in which they discover secret cabals or conspiracies or that we are all in fact living in The Matrix. It sends these people into delusional spirals. Then ChatGPT tells them to email me about it. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/t...

The Israelis are calling this a "preemptive" strike. Whether you agree or disagree with this attack, these are not - from what we know tonight - "preemptive" strikes. The Israelis are using that word for a reason. Read on. /1

I have long argued that dems should make miller the face of the admin, give him all the credit, make him the focus. Miller is fundamentally unlikable and trump would hate him getting focus.

AOC to Walz: We are talking about individuals who cheered the pardoning of people who attacked the U.S. Capitol while flying the Nazi flag and the Confederate flag And they want to act offended because someone has the courage to say: if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, maybe it’s a duck.
