I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

CNN Guest Says Trump Acts Like a Guy ‘From the Memory Wing of a Nursing Home’: ‘He’s Slurring’ https://twp.ai/4iojrD

🇮🇷❌ Iran has been almost entirely offline for over 12 hours, reports Netblocks. Authorities imposed a nationwide internet blackout, citing alleged “Israeli misuse” of the network for military purposes. Connectivity remains severely disrupted.

This is another outrageous attempt by Trump to criminalize free speech and First Amendment protections.

Putin says he's ready to meet with Zelenskyy but won't sign anything with him

If you for a single second think that this protected land in our nation won’t be sold off to whoever gives the most money directly to Donald Trumps bitcoin for his own enrichment then think again about all the pardoned financial criminals Trump has already released in exchange for bribes.

Good thing he’s not our president because a president doing that would be even worse.

Two members of the National Guard were worried ICE would grab her at her immigration hearing so they accompanied her, in uniform www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjW54SmP/

There is no humanity in the Trump Administration - they are monsters, and it's infuriating. dmwineline.substack.com/p/ice-wine-a...

Interesting peek into how tariffs may shorten the lifespan of Social Security — by requiring higher cost-of-living adjustments and suppressing the number of jobs/workers who pay into the fund. (A lower birth rate doesn’t help.) @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/b...

Another way to put this: Russia, bogged down in Ukraine, is unable to help its partners www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/w...

There is a conflict between Putin and Trump regarding the Iran-Israel war.

🔴The ‘Millionaire Exodus’ the UK Media Told You About Never Actually Happened The equivalent of 30 stories a day were published about an exodus of wealthy people that a new study finds was “non existent” bylinetimes.com/2025/06/10/t...

“Travel and visa restrictions imposed by the Trump administration threaten patient care at hundreds of hospitals that depend on medical residents recruited from overseas. Foreign medical residents often serve as the frontline caregivers at busy safety-net hospitals in low-income communities.”

Who’s really the power behind the throne? Stephen Miller, the Trump whisperer.

What a chart. The Iran nuclear deal Trump I tore up was working perfectly - Iran was not enriching in that era. Now, Trump is dancing on the edge of a volcano in the hopes of getting precisely that kind of deal back.

Good morning bluesky!

Hard to argue with that.

WSJ journalist Bojan Pancevski “summed up the situation succinctly: ‘There is a non-interventionist axis atop of the US [govt] including Vance, Musk & Gabbard…Now Musk is out and Trump publicly & privately distanced himself somewhat from Gabbard.” By @davetroy.com 1/ america2.news/will-trumps-...

Trump is a fucking moron, a rare mix of bottom-shelf stupidity and top-tier vileness. I’ve truly never seen anything like it.

The, um, good news is Trump is excluding the SecDef w/crusades tattoo from planning war v Iran, relying instead on a guy who has been pushing such a war for some time. The bad news is WaPo has to claim JD Vance is experienced to make us feel better abt that. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained. They are part of a growing scrappy network of volunteers protecting neighbors from ICE. bit.ly/4lgke5N

SpaceX Starship rocket explodes ABC: A Spacex Starship rocket being tested in Texas exploded Wednesday night, after the craft "experienced a major anomaly" while on the test stand preparing for the tenth flight test at the firm's Starbase facility.

All of Trump’s garbage merchandise, from gold-painted sneakers to MAGA hats and Trump watches (spelled ‘Rump,’ no joke) is made in China. While this demented poseur talks about ‘America First,’ he won’t spend HIS money here. His phone, too, will be made in a Chinese sweatshop.

The Trump administration will shut down the national LGBTQ youth suicide lifeline, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, in 30 days.

This is 100% fixable without cutting a single dollar from seniors’ benefits. Pass my bill to require ultra-high earners to pay their fair share into the system. Problem solved. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Republicans are attempting to ram through a provision to sell millions in acres in CA, including land around Yosemite, Mt. Shasta, Lake Tahoe & Big Sur, as part of their big ugly bill. Our federal public treasures shouldn't be sold off to the highest bidder. I will fight this, tooth & nail.

Trans kids suffer when they don't get medically-necessary care. This is a brazen political decision by the Supreme Court. My heart is with trans kids and their loved ones. I won’t stop fighting to make sure they can be exactly who they are.

U.S. involvement in this Iran-Israel conflict feels painfully reminiscent of the 2003 Iraq War — questionable authorization, weapons of mass destruction misinformation, and goals of regime change. Demand your representatives support a war powers resolution! 🔥📞🔥 --> 5calls.org/issue/iran-i...

Trump’s pardons of white-collar fraudsters, GOP ripoff artists & unrepentant cop-beaters cheated the victims & taxpayers out of $1.3 BILLION in restitution & fines. Not content to steal from the poor to give to the rich, Trump’s now stealing from victims to give to criminals.

Standing up for human rights and due process is not a crime. Asking to see a warrant is not a crime. ICE's unjustified arrest of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was an abuse of power and unnecessary escalation of force. People can see through the Trump Administration's lies.

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

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MUST STAND FIRM. We must not be dragged into Netanyahu’s illegal war against Iran.

After hours in the Situation Room, Trump has yet to announce a decision on Iran. “I think the odds are pretty good that the president will decide to join Israel in its fight against Iran,” @nahaltoosi.bsky.social says. She explains why on #playbookpod: ow.ly/lkAk50WbqAy

Trump was reportedly livid after Tulsi Gabbard posted an unauthorized video on social media warning that “warmongers” had brought the world “closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before.”
