This is sincerely a post from the official Department of Defense Twitter account, and it has been up for over 4 hours without being taken down or corrected. The gold stars in the middle are surrounded by two RUSSIAN FLAGS

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

Hmmmm . . . I wonder how the Minnesota assassin might have had access to a police uniform, a police badge, and a police cruiser. Are we *sure* he was "impersonating" a police officer?

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

House Dems are demanding that Noem testify before Congress after Sen. Padilla was detained by federal agents at her DHS press conference in LA.

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

I'll never forgive those who attacked me for picking a side in 2024, because "both sides were equally bad." This mentality brought authoritarianism to America.

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

The CDC is rehiring more than 400 people who had received layoff notices. Around half of those employees are in the National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD and Tuberculosis Prevention. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Filed under: There is no i in gaslighting: Fox (fake) news should be sued for showing old videos of burning police cars & implying that this is happening now in LA. Accountability anyone?

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

Austin TX continued to use excessive force against their civilians into the night.

Veteran reminds active duty Marines to uphold the standard and refuse any illegal order to harm US civilians. #NoKings

Woke up this morning unemployed from our federal government positions. Might we make a small request? Please spend a few minutes today browsing the names & bios of #NEH staff, most of whom are now without jobs, before the agency erases us from its memory. #humanities www.neh.gov/about/staff

LA School Worker Cries After #Ice Raided Elementary School Graduation.. Parents Fled While Kids Walked The Stage.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

When you’re being invaded… #satire

Dear USA Deploying troops against civilians will not go well. Yours Great Britain and Northern Ireland

This is a key way many have warned about how he could take vaccines away. ACIP determined which vaccines insurance covered. If they don't have to cover, vaccines become something only for the rich but that's not how vaccines work. It threatens everyone.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

They’re freeloaders (but they’re kidnapping them at their jobs) and they’re a burden on the country (but they’re using their tax info to track them down) and they’re only trying to deport the “illegals” (but they’re seeking people out at immigration hearings)

“How to stop an overflowing toilet” should not have a 30 second commercial before it on YouTube.

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

The Florida Bar has filed misconduct charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi. She has been in violation of multiple ethics rules since being sworn in.

A top coronavirus vaccine adviser at the CDC has resigned, citing concerns that she could no longer help vulnerable people after officials rescinded recommendations to immunize children and pregnant women.

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

"We are all going to die," is the GOP platform.

it's hard to take joni ernst seriously when her permanent facial expression looks like she's about to scream at a server for putting too much blue cheese on her wedge salad

So Joni Ernst is an asshole too

Make a good Dem Fundraiser at rally’s

The current President is taking bribes from anyone who’ll offer them but I’m so glad Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper are not letting that distract them from the fact that the former President who just got diagnosed with cancer is also old.

I’m convinced. Mandatory daily prostate exams for all presidents until at least 2028.

Two news stories. A black Congresswoman enters an ICE facility & is charged- no evidence of violence. A white woman enters the Capitol and busts things up & is killed while trespassing. Her family gets $5 million. This Administration is doing it in broad daylight. #Racism #Facism #Resist

For those who were not raised with decent “home training”, the only proper response at a time like this is to express sympathy and well wishes. And if you can’t do that, silence works.

Devastating. The cowardice and the betrayal of an incomparable news brand.

The children's series has found a new streaming home — Netflix, PBS stations and PBS KIDS will air new episodes on the same day. And Netflix will also run 90 hours from the Sesame Street library.

We know. They gave you immunity.
