NEW: The CDC's vaccine safety office is hiring the former head of an anti-vaccine group founded by RFK Jr., officials say.

The Trump administration is arresting more and more immigrants with no criminal records. To maintain the illusion that their focus is criminals, they're ginning up charges including by leveraging testimony from criminals who then get leniency.

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs? VOUGHT: I reject the assertion MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

Congratulations to the new mayor elect of New York, Zohran Mamdani! He ran a campaign that should be studied by students of politics for years to come.

Even third world countries do not treat their elderly and people in wheelchairs like this. We are truly a cruel and embarrassing nation driven by a malignant narcissist and a complicit MAGA Congress.

Trump reluctantly confirmed the intelligence saying Iran was only set back a few months, then he quickly pivoted to shaming the media for getting to the truth by calling them "sick" and quoting a pilot, something no one will be able to verify.  Trump 101: accuse your enemy of what you are doing.

WTH

Members of Congress who endorsed Andrew Cuomo: – Greg Meeks
– Jim Clyburn
– Adriano Espaillat
– George Latimer
– Tom Suozzi
– Ritchie Torres

This is how you get distorted intelligence assessments, where dissenting analysis is deterred or suppressed. Hegseth: “anyone who says the bombs were not devastating is just trying to undermine the president and the successful mission” www.ft.com/content/023c...

Wow. www.cnn.com/2025/06/24/p...

UK government announces that it will in fact buy F-35A and join NATO nuclear sharing. The UK will purchase 12 F-35As and join NATO’s nuclear mission. gov.uk/government/new… Less than two weeks ago the SDR external reviewers had implied they were not keen on that choice (below).

“It’s a big problem,” Rubio said. “I don’t think that the agreement that Spain has reached is sustainable, and frankly it puts them in a very tough spot with regards to their other allies and partners.” www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Someone please check on Mark Rutte to see if he's OK.

New in PN: The Roberts Court exists to give legal cover to bigots "The best way to approach SCOTUS's decision in Skrmetti, which upheld Tennessee’s transphobic ban on gender-affirming care for minors, is to understand that the MAGA majority begins with their desired result and then works backward."

Trump revoked Biden’s executive order that pushed federal agencies to help register voters. Advocates say the move erases progress and sets back voter registration efforts across the country. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/how...

Abbott may add gerrymandering U.S. House districts in Special 30 Day Session beginning on 7/21 Currently, 6 vetoed bills listed for review, including banning products containing THC He says the list is “initial” All vetoed bills can be included on list He can also order a district redraw vote

Emotionally unstable creature cant even control dropping F bombs on live TV He acts like someone just dropped a bomb on this country or something...

A 3:30am post from the president

“Cuomo reached under her blouse & fondled her breast, grabbed her buttocks, engaged in “intimate hugs” and asked at work whether she had ever cheated on her husband.” Remember, Democrats Richie Torres, Clinton, Bloomberg, Gillibrand all knew about Cuomo’s sexual abuse–and endorsed him anyway.🤮

It’s absurd in its truth. A murderer was treated better when taken into custody than an immigrant…

www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat... Oh, so this incompetent regime has finally figured out what the real problem is? I feel so safe now. (Sarcasm)😒

BERMAN: They still have enriched uranium that's not for civilian purposes? SCOTT PERRY: I wouldn't be surprised if some of it still exists B: They're still a terrorist regime? P: They absolutely are B: So there's still a terrorist regime in power w/enriched uranium? P: That's absolutely true

New: Two Trump-appointed appeals court judges told lawmakers on Tuesday that they disagreed with calls to impeach judges over their rulings and that the judiciary needed more resources to bolster security for members of the bench. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

The Roberts Court exists to give legal cover to bigots www.publicnotice.co/p/skrmetti-r...

I’m realizing that if we truly want Establishment Democrats to fight against Donald Trump and his fascism with everything they’ve got, then we all we need to do is convince them that Trump is actually a 33-year-old brown Muslim democratic socialist.

The ongoing and escalating slaughter of Ukrainian civilians depends on two preconditions: Moscow’s determination to erase Ukraine, and the tacit permission it receives from America and Europe, writes Andrew Chakhoyan, academic director at the University of Amsterdam, in his recent op-ed.

🔥 NEW by me: Shareholders of companies worth $13 trillion vote unanimously to defeat anti-DEI proposals. I attended nearly every annual meeting of shareholders where anti-DEI proposals were presented. CEOs spoke out for DEI. Story at @thequeenzone.bsky.social www.thequeenzone.com/shareholders...

Nuclear annihilation via group project.

Maybe next time, don’t tweet pregame military strategy like it’s a WWE promo.

Good riddance. www.axios.com/local/salt-l...

Is it 2025 or 2003? Trump’s illegal war on Iran is feeling like a “War on Terror” 2.0 speedrun. Here are the top 5 things you need to know ⬇️

Republicans are going after the very people that voted them into power..... #DontBombMedicaid #Pinks

Veasey has RFK Jr dead to rights here, and they both know it.

"Think of the MAGA majority’s shoddy arguments as a flex, a reminder that five (or six) justices are above accountability. That’s the real legacy of the Roberts Court: a steady erosion of rights dressed up as freedom, with little care as to whether their positions are coherent." — @snipy.bsky.social

It’s not enough for Stephen Miller to orchestrate Trump’s deportation agenda. Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target and round up immigrants. He’s cashing in on his own cruelty.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, under continued attack from President Trump, says the impact of tariffs on inflation should become clearer in the coming months.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

✋ Former State Department war powers lawyer here. Some problems with the Speaker's remarks: --executive branch (even under Trump 1.0) has long treated the WPR as constitutional --some of the post-WWII military actions he refers to (eg Iraq, Afghanistan) had congressional war authorizations 1/n

ICE forces U.S. Army Purple Heart veteran to deport—after taking 2 bullets in combat. Sae Joon Park "miraculously" survived being shot in spine—then given 3 weeks to deport to South Korea. Will miss dying mother's funeral—then his daughter's wedding. Was legally in U.S. under deferred action.

The data is undeniable: •15 of top 16 states with the highest rates of infant mortality are red states that deny/ban repro access. •12 of top 13 states with the lowest rates of infant mortality are blue states that protect repro access. Why is this even a debate? www.qasimrashid.com/p/three-year...

NPR's Michel Martin asks Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut, top Democrat on the House Intelligence committee, about the Iranian attack on a U.S. airbase in Qatar.

Trump’s VA is pulling the rug out from under thousands of Veterans who were promised help keeping their homes. This is what happens when you put someone who calls us “suckers and losers” in charge. MORE: www.npr.org/2025/06/19/n...

New in PN: Trump’s reckless Iran strikes could backfire spectacularly "America has entered few wars with less forethought, less deliberation, and more contempt for the public. Trump has recklessly endangered the country and world. It’s not much consolation that he may also have endangered himself."

As headlines remain focused on Iran and Israel, Russia escalates its genocidal war—targeting apartment buildings, hospitals, schools, and shelters. Despite much of the media moving on, the attacks are intensifying and growing more brazen by the day.
