Karoline Leavitt indicates the administration is open to a denaturalization-oriented investigation against Zohran Mamdani

Unconstitutional.

FACTS: "“If you're a billionaire, it says: we've got your back, but if you're a parent trying to provide for your family, a senior in a nursing home or a child who counts on school for your only hot meal, you're on your own.” #VoteNO

How about we have party leaders focus on the words of a United States congressman - Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama - who’s calling Black people “inner city rats” who leach off of America’s taxpayers. Stop the focus on municipal elections and get to this. Where is the censure and condemnation?

It’s hard not to see this simply as a case of a politician siding with his biggest funder (AIPAC, by a mile) over the people he theoretically represents. www.opensecrets.org/members-of-c...

Karma. She's quick. Here's looking at you, Murkowski.

These numbers for ice are insane

Quick note to everyone pretending that Zohran Mamdani somehow favors communism, here’s the Republican president literally saying on camera that he wishes America were more like Communist China.

Chris Murphy: "By taking away the power of courts to restrain the president when he is clearly acting in an unlawful manner, as he is when he says children born in the US are no longer citizens, you are assisting him in trying to undermine the rule of law and undermine our democracy."

Yes, they are. Shameless.

😡😡

The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. This is a red alert moment for our democracy.

Every single day I find a new reason to hate RFK Jr. Just an absolute ghoul.

Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.

Remember Collins and Murkowski could have stopped this. People who lose healthcare coverage will die because of them

"Florida is expected to pay $450 million a year to run the facility, with the possibility of being reimbursed by the federal government." -new from @lauracmorel.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you had a 15 year old who said this to you and seemed to believe it, you’d be up all night panicking about what it’s going to cost you in tutors to get them into the 2nd-to-last ranked public university in your state.

This is Trump's America.

Trump is having a meltdown that Canada is moving on without him, his excuses are lame.

Starting this fall, Oklahoma high school students will be expected to study so-called “discrepancies” from the 2020 presidential election — essentially conspiracy theories about a stolen election that have been thoroughly discredited by courts and President Donald Trump’s own Department of Justice.

Trump is up to something, he's been barricading the White House and US treasury overnight.

You can't make this shit up.

Sorry, what?

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Trump oozes with jealousy over the Salvadorean dictators extensive system of concentration camps, which is why he's leased them all for his own use.

This sentence, typed in her dissent, should scare the living fuck out of everyone in this country. "This Supreme Court is an existential threat to the rule of law." – Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

The US military did NOT use bunker-buster bombs on one of Iran’s largest nuclear sites last weekend because the site is so deep that the bombs likely would not have been effective, the US’ top general told senators during a briefing on Thursday.

Phang: Immediately after being appointed… Habba said, quote: “We could turn New Jersey red, and I think New Jersey is absolutely close to getting there. So hopefully, while I’m there, I can help that cause.” Doesn’t sound like somebody who is trying to be, I don’t know, a fair arbiter of the law—

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called the agency “bloated,” yet as violence spiked in the Middle East, staff say they’ve been asked to work extra hours. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

A radical Christian just murdered the speaker of a state house but the real worry is the theocratic muslim who said the bus should be cheaper

The United States tried presidents who were smart, decent, and capable of empathy, but decided it wasn’t for them. It just didn’t reflect them.

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

Rep. Andy Ogles -- who lied about his college major, who lied about graduate work at Dartmouth, who lied about his financial disclosures, who lied that he had been a cop, who lied he was an international sex crimes expert, and who knows what else -- is now spreading lies about other politicians too.

Holy Crap. Just straight up looting at this point. Or like was already looting. But just bringing in a semi to haul out the loot faster.

ALASKA LAWMAKERS (1 Republican, 1 Independent): “This is not about partisanship… Our focus is squarely on the survival of the people we represent. The benefits of Medicaid & SNAP permeate the entire fabric of the Alaska economy.” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/o...

NEW VIDEO: One of the most egregious abuses of power and attacks on the federal judiciary is taking place in Maryland and it is not getting the urgent attention it deserves. In a normal time this would be a national scandal. Paige and I discuss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqrO...

UPDATE: 2 more impersonators in Houston alone. (One was shot by a man’s wife) How long are we going to let this madness go on? We should be requiring agents to ID themselves, not legislating to protect masked vigilantes. @MarshaBlackburn

WSJ editorial board warns Paramount: you are thinking of paying a bribe to Trump. That's a foolish thing to do. And individual Paramount directors and officers may face criminal charges for doing it.

A 49 year old Canadian has died while in ICE custody.

There is absolutely nothing about being open-minded or having common sense that can give you any information about bombing strikes in a foreign country.

Elon Musk gave our sensitive information to Russia. The story was in April but new information is coming out from a whistleblower who is now being harassed. I’ll post the link to the video about it below in the replies. www.reuters.com/technology/c...

The number of manifestly psychologically unwell people in the highest levels of this administration should be unsettling to the world.
