Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state. That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress: Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

This really isn’t a hard message. Obama neutralized the Iran nuclear program through the hard work of diplomacy, but Trump tore up the deal in his first term out of spite and chose war instead.

really great how swiftly Trump & co have made the U.S. a shithole country that can't even suspend the routine for five minutes for international visitors, like plenty of repressive regimes are able to pull off all the time

Trump's attack on Iran is manifestly illegal, another usurpation of Congress's constitutional authority, and a fundamental assault on the rule of law in the United States and internationally.

I still think this is a strong contender for the funniest video ever uploaded. Absolutely unbeatable comedic rhythm

Indeed. He never has a strategy. He’s incapable of thinking strategically. He’s a malevolent, mendacious, and moronic ordure of narcissistic whim, impulse, and caprice.

We keep hearing credulous pundits say MAGA is "antiwar." So how many MAGA Republicans will support the new resolution requiring Trump to get congressional authorization for war with Iran? This resolution is important. People should pay attention to it. 1/ (link) newrepublic.com/article/1969...

Ten years since the escalator ride. CNN tries to name and frame the key changes: First place: remake of the GOP. But notice: the Republican party has "deemphasized high-minded ideals like democracy..." www.cnn.com/2025/06/16/p... High-minded? A little slip that shows us what we are up against.

Every prominent Democrat in the country should jump on this immediately. Enough bullshit cowering on this issue. Get on this! Trump just handed you a massive weapon. Use it!

And Bundy supporters showed up armed to the teeth and were openly sighting in on federal employees. None of this seemed overly troubling to those on the right. Imagine if these images were of LA protestors aiming in on LAPD officers.

My favorite line here is "applying for those jobs"

Pathetic: ABC’s GMA, World News Tonight, This Week, CBS’ Mornings, Evening News, Face the Nation, NBC’s Today, Nightly News, Meet the Press, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal all failed to cover Trump's new office for ethnic cleansing.

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Add it to the long list of Trump's "public secrets." Everybody paying attention already knows DOGE wasn't about eliminating waste; anti-trans policies aren't about protecting women; "anti-porn" legislation isn't about porn; etc. etc. etc. Imagine a world where we actually discussed things directly.

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.

We wanted to know if bleach can cure cancer. So we talked to three raw milk enthusiasts at a McDonald’s near Manasota Key.

Thank you. 🙏🏼 Thank you to all of you on the ground in LA and Paramount, as well as in all of the other cities across our country, who are showing how peaceful and non-violent the protests and demonstrations are and continue to be. Facts matter. The truth always matters.

Democrats should introduce articles of impeachment for RFK jr Even if it doesn’t work, which it probably won’t, democrats need to make clear that he’s not gonna get away with it
