In Pasadena, CA, a Trump regime ICE thug drew a lethal weapon on an unarmed U.S. citizen for photographing his license plate. ICE agents are operating without identification, so citizens are bravely documenting them for accountability and safety. #StopICE #AbolishICE #PoliceState

‘Bobby Kennedy is going to kill more people than any Cabinet secretary’: James Carville warns of RFK Jr’s vaccine plan

Time to break out the chart again on Iran.

One of the lessons of Trump's "pause" on Iran is he is quite susceptible to pressure--whether from Tucker Carlson, Tucker's boss, Vlad, or even his own base. The Fox poll today REALLY pissed him off.

Reuters: US JUDGE BLOCKS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FROM REQUIRING 20 DEMOCRATIC-LED STATES TO COOPERATE WITH IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT TO OBTAIN TRANSPORTATION GRANT FUNDING

❤️ if you believe in @npr.org and @pbs.org

With no publicity at all, HBO quietly released the George Clooney - produced documentary about the Ohio State scandal. Gym Jordan is an absolute disgrace.

It astonishes me how, a decade after Donald Trump entered politics, smart and well-meaning analysts still completely misunderstand how Trump thinks and what drives him. Aaaarrrggh. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/sh...

Let's check in with what passes for MAGA thought leaders ... oh ... oh my ...

Coincidentally, Trump also bankrupted Trump Ice Natural Spring Water, also known as "Trump Ice," in 2010, so this would be his second 'Ice bankruptcy,’ so to speak.

No Kings 2.0 is on July 4th

Interesting that in past few days Trump: --Pushed for Russia at G7 --Left G7 before Zelenskyy arrived --Moved to erase regs against asbestos, a Russian export --Took a step back from Iran attack after another call with Vlad Seems to be following instructions more closely these days. Just saying.

When Republicans are in power, the deficit doesn’t matter, only tax cuts for the wealthy do. Then when they are out of power, suddenly it is all important.

LA Dodgers to 🧊 today, tell em Kendrick sent us!

HuffPost: Two NY state lawmakers called out Elon Musk and Trump accusing them of spreading hate speech online after Musk filed a lawsuit Tuesday challenging a NY law that requires social media platforms to be transparent about how they monitor online hate. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Go Dodgers!! The LA Dodgers have denied ICE Agents from entering Dodger Stadium. www.latimes.com/california/s...

THIS IS ABSOLUTE INSANITY. 👇👇

NEW: The Los Angeles Dodgers say they have denied entry to ICE agents who arrived at the stadium and "requested permission to access the parking lots."

As you might imagine, the WH hates this ad -- so you know your assignment.

We may be at war with Iran shortly. This is a reminder that it was Donald Trump who unilaterally annulled the Iran Nuclear deal- effectively stopping the Iran’s ability to enrich Uranium. This outcome was predicted by many Dems when we reneged on our word.

Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of ICE’s behavior: wearing masks, going after workers, families, people at immigration hearings, denying due process. YET The Republican regime WANTS MORE OF OUR MONEY bc they blew through their budget paying off these mercenaries? 202-224-3121 🛑 #MAGAKidnappers

What’s a worse lie: The lie from the US that Iran is close to nuclear weapon, which US intel & the IAEA disagree with. Or the lie from the EU that Iran could avoid all this by returning to the negotiating table when they were ALREADY at the negotiating able & heading to Oman when Israel attacked?

The Trump administration told us that Iran was days away from having a nuclear bomb. That was their whole reasoning for getting involved. Now they say they'll make a decision on if they're going to take military action in two weeks. Which is it?

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

"I have prepared a beautiful letter of surrender for Mr. Trump to sign. It's the most beautiful letter of surrender." - Ali Khamenei Supreme Leader of Iran

In New York City, a growing number of volunteers and activists have begun showing up to escort immigrants out of courthouses amid President Trump’s month-old campaign to arrest people showing up for routine hearings.

The $45M Trump splurged on his military birthday parade could have paid for critical resources and assistance for our veterans. Disgraceful.

🚨New: “Trump Company Reduces Stake In Crypto Venture” “As the MAGA faithful continue to throw money at Trump’s crypto projects, the first family appears to be walking off with some of its profits” @danalexander21.bsky.social for @forbes.com (with a little reporting from me)

Starship blowing up is a bigger deal than you think. It’s not a prototype in a sandbox anymore, it’s a $4B NASA contract to land humans on the Moon ($2.8B initially, $4B with follow-ons). Every explosion is taxpayer-funded hardware going up in flames.

On this day, June 19, 1865, more than 2000 Union Troops arrived in Galveston, TX. U.S. MG Gordon Granger announced, that by executive decree, all enslaved Black people were to be FREE.

Republicans have a “big, beautiful” problem: Trump’s budget bill is polling like garbage. A plurality of Americans oppose it, just 67% of Republicans support it, and a whopping 71% of independents don’t like it. And, of course, Democrats hate it. That’s a real problem for the GOP.

You won’t see many Republicans posting today about Juneteenth (will we see any?). Most don’t give a shit that human beings were enslaved in this country. Some may even wish such evil were still a thing. Sound extreme? Well, when this guy gets pardoned, what other conclusion can you draw?👇🏻🤷‍♂️

Trump took down Hillary Clinton's portrait in the White House and replaced it with one of himself. I hope it was this one. 😅 #ProudBlue #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpIsAnInternationalDisgrace #TrumpIsAGlobalLaughingStock

Analysis | Donald Trump is a new kind of Republican. Yes, his agenda includes Middle East invasions, sexual culture wars, throwing people off their healthcare, and exploding the debt with handouts to the ultra-rich. But he also sells his own crypto, bibles, and cell phone service.

He is afraid to admit he really has no idea what he is doing

Joni Ernst is still pretending to care about sexual assault in the military even as she lobs softballs at Pete Hegseth

It appears that the national news media learned nothing two decades ago when they were duped by the U.S. government to justify a trumped-up Middle East war that killed more than 100,000 human beings.

Braindead...

OMG. I’m not a “rocket scientist” like Elon, but this does not look good. 😳

The Senate tax bill cuts Medicaid, clean energy, rural hospitals while extending the tax cuts for billionaires/corporations, eliminating taxes on silencers/short-barreled shotguns/rifles & deregulates these weapons of war to arm mass murderers & assassins. @newtownaction.org #StopMagaMurderBill

Former Oath Keeper is running for California Governor. No! Absolutely not! Chad Bianco shouldn’t even be sheriff, let alone running the whole state. 📌 The Oath Keepers are tied to racism, extremism, and white supremacy. Don’t let the badge fool you.
