Okay, well if you can sue judges, who wants to file a lawsuit against Aileen Cannon with me?

Andrew Cuomo just conceded the New York Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani.

NEW YORK (AP) — Andrew Cuomo concedes New York City Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani.

Primary every Democrat who is not meeting this moment. Get rid of them all.

The Hoh Rainforest in Olympic National Forest in WA is one of the few rainforests in the USA. Unfortunately, it is under threat of being sold to private interests and clear-cutting. In fact, EVERY National forest in WA is threatened, due to Trump’s greed #NationalParks m.youtube.com/watch?v=36yo...

Brad Lander: "We are sending Andrew Cuomo back to the suburbs." "Andrew Cuomo is in the past. He is not the present or future of New York City. Good fucking riddance."

Democrats are in a primarying mood, and these 128 House members should be *real* concerned right now.

OK, so the President of the United States knowingly lied to the country on national TV about a matter of national security and war and peace that implicated the safety of US soldiers, his campaign promises, and the future of global geopolitics. So what will his punishment be?

Big Balls has resigned! Let their DOGE involvement follow them all for the rest of their lives! His name is Edward Coristine.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Overshadowed by other news today, but this reporting on USAID’s dismantling is important. “When employees raised concerns about demands that they viewed as dangerous or unlawful, the administration branded their actions as ‘insubordination’— then used that charge to justify dismantling the agency.”

I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along. Really scary stuff.

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

"Do you want America to be at war with Iran?" No: 85% Yes: 5% YouGov / June 22, 2025

These ICE agents are an embarrassment to law enforcement. Imagine being so afraid of being a public servant that they have to cover their face. Under no circumstances should any arresting officer be lawfully allowed to shield his/her identity.

Meanwhile, the federal government of the United States of America is hard at work hunting down and arresting random beloved local bagel shop managers. Neighbors and friends respond: pix11.com/news/local-n...

Republicans want you to forget they’re ripping health care away from over 16 million people while Trump wages a new endless war against Iran. That’s Republican leadership for you.

"...There’s no sidestepping a president deploying the military in an American city based on ludicrous falsehoods about a foreign invasion. Indeed, it’s hard to think of a clearer signpost on the road to dictatorship." @michelleinbklyn www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

Note to media: “Trump says” is not a story. He says A LOT. He lies a lot. Do some sifting, discerning, contextualizing. Otherwise it’s just stenography. And you’re embarrassing yourselves.

It's odd that two weeks ago Iran wasn't part of many conversations that I recall. Especially to the degree of bombing a sovereign nation. No pressing security issues. No strategic objectives. Certainly not imminent. we seeing the ol Red Herring Fallacy in action!? The mother of distractions!

Nothing could be more perilous to American democracy than going to war under Donald Trump, Robert Kagan writes. theatln.tc/C1DHGxtL

The war in Iran is illegal under the UN Charter, under War Powers Act, and didn't even comply with National Security Act.

NEW: The price Tel Aviv is paying this morning for Trump’s bombing of Iran. This video was posted by The Middle East Observer.

an easy disguise: all you’d need are some black masks

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Sharing opinions of those who are in the loop with this

Trump bombing Iran was illegal and unjustified. I ran for Congress to make sure our leaders consider the true costs of war. And I will be in the Senate, standing on my titanium legs, demanding answers from Trump. My statement:

The images of trump in his war room wearing his MAGA red hat are sickening.

President Trump on possible Islamic Republic of Iran retaliation against the United States.

Among many other things this is a proliferation nightmare. The lesson learned will be never negotiate with the United States.

Trump announces on social media that the US has bombed Iran

There's no declaration of war, and no AUMF that covers this. Entering this war is wrong on the merits; we had a perfectly peaceful way to address Iran's nuclear program. It's also unlawful. A democratic republic should not be able to enter a war of choice on one man's say-so.

There are 100k students in med school each year. Room and board is about 100k per year. For 10b a year, med school could be free. We would see a wholesale change in the profession, career paths and the cost of care. It would change the economics for every financial decision doctors

Trump will soon speak to the nation about the unprovoked war crime of unilateral war that he just illegally ordered. Every word out of his mouth will be a lie. He will lie about history, about intel, about Israel, and about his own interests. He will lie to ALL our faces. 🤬

No more war.

Impeach him

Five months. He’s been in office five f*cking months and he’s bombed Iran.

77 million voted for this lawless man and every damn elected Republican has refused to push back for five straight months as he flouts our laws, violates our Constitution, attacks our people—and now recklessly and illegally wages war.

We have a lunatic taking us to war with Iran and their allies, a clown car full of cabinet members, and not a single group of republicans with even a smidge of a backbone to join democrats to keep America safe. This was all avoidable. This is all unnecessary. Rich men’s wars are NOT WORTH DYING FOR.

He reportedly wanted to attack Iran in his first term. Members of his admin talked sense into him. Those people don’t work for him anymore. There are no guardrails.
