Iwo Jima. We bombed the hell out of Mt.Suribachi for days. The dead Marines on the beach showed how ineffective it was.

Sen. Booker to Bove: There are complaints that pre-date your judicial nomination by years about you being so intoxicated with power and your supervisors were warned that you are a liability to the office. There are multiple reports of your abuse of power.

And contrary to widespread belief, if you say under oath that you don’t remember something that you do, in fact, remember, that’s still perjury.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

What you have to understand is that this administration wants the confrontation: CA Nat’l Guard soldiers operating on fed’l orders helped DEA & other feds raid a large marijuana growth operation in the eastern Coachella Valley last week, 130 miles from downtown LA taskandpurpose.com/news/nationa...

NEW: War and climate change are existential threats that need to be battled at the same time and often with the same tools, experts say as NATO allies meet in The Hague this week FREE read via @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Everyone is focusing on Bove’s “f*** you” comment but not enough attention being given to the other bombshell in the WB, which is the premeditated violation of the Mass. district court injunction and subsequent cover up, the same injunction which SCOTUS stayed on Monday 1/

The reason we fight against fascism is because of love. Love for our friends and family. Our children deserve better than this. They deserve not to live in a place where they must fear getting shot. We love them. So we have to win. And in time, we will. The axe forgets but the tree remembers.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

I wonder if Mitch McConnell assumed Americans who lost their healthcare would "get over it" because they will be dead.

Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs. What the hell are we doing?

Under grilling by Jon Ossoff, Russ Vought repeatedly refuses to admit that it was a mistake to fire the federal employees who oversaw the safety of the nuclear stockpile (a mistake the administration acknowledged when they had to scramble to hire them back)

This won’t succeed but it is not normal. This is very dangerous. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

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.

BREAKING: Emil Bove - whose judicial confirmation hearing is tomorrow - told lawyers to tell the courts to “fuck off” if they ordered the planes to El Salvador to turn around - per whistleblower Erez Reuveni. Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

This is Trump's new 22 yo head of Counterterrorism assisting shoppers find ketchup aisle at his last job.

“Mission Accomplished” all over again. This isn’t the end of the Iran conflict. It’s just the beginning. Trump’s illegal strikes didn’t destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities and he has no plan for what happens next. And American Troops could pay the price. MORE: www.cnn.com/2025/06/24/p...

Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

#ProudBlue OMG! 😳 First of all, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a sitting President drop an F bomb, especially when talking about other world leaders. He has no diplomacy. Talk about not knowing what you are doing. Look in the mirror Yam Tits.

My brother in law asked me the other day what we were doing for the 4th of July. I said nothing, I'll celebrate it again when we are independent again.

This measured, dignified & statesmanlike response proves conclusively that he is a role model for our nation's youth & should counter the narrative that he is an impulsive, infantile, psychologically-damaged dimwit. #TacoTuesdayTirade 🌮 🤬

Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it? But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?

what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

I miss him so much. M On the 17th anniversary of his death, I share some of his best work. - KCM

Fascism 2.0. Exhibit A. Remember Enrique Tarrio? The sometime Proud Boy sentenced to 22 yrs of fed time, then presidentially pardoned on Day 1? He’s back. For his next act, he will play self-proclaimed “Czar” of ICERAID — an app that will pay you in crypto to report your undocumented neighbors.

Touché.

I'm trying to think of a time when such boneheaded people were making such consequential decisions for our country. Nothing comes to mind. They make even George W. Bush look almost competent.

The United States Supreme Court: Come for the corruption, stay for the human trafficking.

Today’s unsigned, unexplained #SCOTUS ruling clearing the way for removals of migrants to third countries without any additional process is a disaster—not just on the merits, but because of the government misbehavior that it not only refuses to punish, but effectively rewards. Me, via “One First”:

You know the world is in trouble when you agree with Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene on anything.

Huh???

Of course

#BLUEPEEPS Repost this video so everyone on Bluesky can see this. If you're on other social media platforms share it. This is an Orange County California. Very conservative area. Very red

Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was *not* a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who *was* a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.

substack.com/@reallyameri... Bounty hunters paid by the head. No warrant, no cause, no identification of thug bc he’s not a deputized law enforcement officer!!! This is Trump’s America #abolishICE

Hispanics who voted for 47 in 2024..how in the bloody hell did y’all forget this?

Holy crap. The US-UK trade deal is a blank sheet of paper and only Trump signed it. (Genuine screen grab).

In classic form, Trump sidestepped the actual tragedy and used the shooting to tee off on Gov. Walz. No solutions. No sympathy. Just blame, branding, and campaign trail jabs. Because Trump is broken and flawed in almost every way a human being could be.

Call me cautious, but I’m not optimistic about a war run by a reality TV show Commander-in-Chief and his TV talk show chatterbox Secretary of Defense.

This isn't just about California. It’s about how we treat our fellow human beings. It’s about how we treat families. It’s about who we are. I stand with @padilla.senate.gov

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

NEW: A California court has upheld the disbarment recommendation for John EASTMAN, the attorney who helped develop President Trump's last-ditch effort to subvert the 2020 election. Eastman plans to appeals to CA Supreme Court. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...
