Iran says Trump is lying

While Mike Lee and Steve Daines' Senate Natural Resources Committee amendment to the budget reconciliation package mandates the sale of up to 3.3 million acres of public land, what most people miss is that it also authorizes the sale of 258 million acres. That's 40 percent of all public land:

“The FASCISTS see BLUE CITIES and BLUE STATES as…ENEMY TERRITORY… …to be OCCUPIED” 🤨 🚦 THEY MUST BE STOPPED 🚦

For decades, US presidents from both parties used a simple formulation for defining a tyrant: a leader who threatens or uses military force to suppress their domestic political opposition. Now we have a president doing just that and conservatives are cheering. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This should be bigger news.

⚡️UPDATE: Russian mass attack hits Kyiv, US citizen killed and at least 18 injured. Russian drones and ballistic missiles targeted the capital overnight, damaging dormitories, residential buildings, and a kindergarten. First responders are searching for more victims under the rubble.

“I told him it was brutal and cruel.” Minnesota Senator @tinasmithmn (D) pulled Utah’s @senmikelee out of a Republican meeting and confronted him for his ugly tweets blaming Democrats for the shootings of Dems in Minnesota — by a man friends say was a staunch conservative.

2 of 53 Republican senators spent the day mocking the assassination if a Democratic lawmaker from Minnesota. They will face no accountability from Corporate Media or Republicans because no one holds Republican lawmakers accountable for anything, they are assumed to have no agency for their actions.

This is an absolute betrayal of promises made by Congress to protect the people who protected American soldiers. A betrayal by people who think American greatness is based on half-assed military parades rather than being a credible ally to those that risked their lives for America.

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

Breaking news: ICE agents should continue conducting immigration raids on farms, hotels and restaurants in a reversal of guidance, Department of Homeland Security officials told staff on Monday.

Nearly half of 140 senior SSA administrators have been forced out or left the agency. A decimation of hundreds of years of administrative expertise at the insitence of the ignorant. (Gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

The President has surrounded himself with stooges and sycophants who enable his worst, most lawless impulses. That makes all of us less safe.

Trump has not called Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz about Saturday's shooting as of Monday afternoon, according to a spokesperson for Walz. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

What the lawsuits challenging the NIH grant terminations have shown is just how involved DOGE was. As we previously revealed, DOGE provided lists of grants to terminate, as well as letter templates and boilerplate language. A big issue in the hearing today. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

EPIC response.

Vienna has a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in, and they're building their own green housing.

📌This is real. This is Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee mocking the brutal slaughter of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband. We are rounding up and deporting the wrong people in this fucking country.

The Swiss Embassy in Tehran, which serves to protect US interests in Iran, has shut down.

Holy crap this is bad

This is an egregiously shameful tweet from a US senator

Oh my God. Nationalizing key industry by sleight of hand.

Lying at the job interview seems to be the new normal. Yes sir, I believe Roe v Wade is established law. Yes sir, I have a pilot license. In the pvt sector you get fired.

I'm loving all the videos of yesterday's protest but especially this wedding party that decided to join in

The EPA has dropped a legal case against the GEO Group, a major Trump donor, over its misuse of harmful chemicals in an ICE facility. “This is a complete surrender,” said an attorney who worked at the EPA for almost 40 years. By @fastlerner.bsky.social‬ and @lisalsong.bsky.social‬

My weekly @contrariannews.org column explains why No Kings soared and Trump's birthday bash bombed: He is a dictator but a crappy one open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Holy crap! They played Creedence Clearwater Revival’s song “Fortunate Son.” Someone is clearly mocking Cadet Bonespurs. Someone is going to be shot. Here’s the original version with lyrics!😂🤣

1/ Finally back after SF No Kings protest. Upshot: At least 50k, maybe as much as 100K, in attendance. crowd was diverse in all ways, lots of young people. Music, dancing, good vibes.

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

Dallas, deep red, oil-soaked, and MAGA-aligned is now flooded with anti-Trump protesters. A city once thought untouchable has joined the rebellion. The tide is turning.

Over 2,000 peaceful protests happened in all 50 states. Millions marched against Trump’s fascist agenda. #NoKingsDay may be the biggest anti-administration protest in modern U.S. history. #RESIST #DefendDemocracy

👇🏽

Inject this straight into my veins.

Great letter from my friend Jay Butera.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

BREAKING Minnesota public safety authorities are advising people to avoid attending any political rallies in the state today until the suspect in the shooting of two Democratic lawmakers and their spouses is apprehended, Governor Tim Walz said.

@NYT got a headline right

Does anyone think these unspeakably evil political assassinations of Democratic lawmakers would’ve occurred without the vicious permission structure erected by Trump, Vance, Rubio, and their MAGAts? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Here’s a real president. Study it. No Kings Day

Goddamnit, #BrokenTimes, your headline implies LA started this. It is not a war. It is an attack on the city and its residents by the fascist regime. Headlines like this give their crimes cover. How L.A. Ignited a New War Over Immigration www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/u...
