"She's coming off an unforgettable Canadian swimming trials in Victoria that saw her break three world records, and post Canadian records in two other events. Each swim was a personal best for her." www.cbc.ca/sports/olymp...

From the moment I saw that positive pregnancy test, I knew I would do *anything* to protect this little one. That’s what being a parent is and I refuse to judge or condemn anyone who seeks a better life for their children.

Many progressives are hesitant to support Gov. Newson because of his obvious, blatant political opportunism. When blatant political opportunism works in your favor, embrace it. Politicians are tools. Use them properly.

I for one am not persuaded that he's gone stone sober.

Idiots. Morons.

Jesus Christ Trump is a complete clueless idiot.

All this chaos is being used to distract you from another bill passed by the House of Representatives. It cuts HIV assistance/research and PBS. It will be moving to the senate. They don't want you to notice this. www.cbsnews.com/news/house-v...

This is it, exactly. Just more cosplay.

"Experts say the FAQ's citations distort some legitimate studies and cite others that are disputed and unpublished. "In two instances, the HHS memo makes claims about dangers to pregnant women that are actively refuted by the papers it cites to back them up..." www.npr.org/2025/06/13/n...

He's done every bit of this and so very much more.

What do you think is more important? A billionaire getting a bigger yacht or a child getting healthcare? Republicans think the billionaire should get the yacht... #SaveMedicaidKillTheBill

I can’t believe people are just now realizing how much our economy relies on Latino workers!

That's a good summary. This is one of the areas where Trump routinely seems weak and feeble-minded, with little grasp of the issues, and inclined to mouth the lines of whoever let visited him in the Oval Office. A class sign of dementia senilis.

NEW: Trump Administration Abandons Deal With Northwest Tribes to Restore Salmon The administration has canceled a deal, signed under President Biden, that would have enabled the removal of four hydroelectric dams along the Columbia River that are considered harmful to salmon. With @opb.org

""It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy," said Simon..." www.wnep.com/article/news...

A US intel source tells me that he knows Israel intelligence was working very hard to identify and assassinate all the key figures in the Iranian security establishment who were pressing for acceptance of a deal with Trump modeled on the Obama deal. This confirms that info.

As usual, Trump stands firmly on all sides of this controversy, depending on whoever spoke with him last. www.thedailybeast.com/maga-war-on-...

REMEMBER:

Finally he has to take “no” for an answer.

What happened to the immigrants labeled as RAPISTS or MURDERS? Is it now acceptable due to his limited reasoning, to allow them to stay simply because his poll numbers have declined? Everyone knows it was just a DISTRACTION from his CRIMES!!!!!

People in the West Bank were afraid that this was coming - that once Gaza had been sufficiently subdued, they'd be next. Please don't miss this because of all the noise about Iran.

We are not 1941 Nazi Germany, yet. But we are on that road. Public forums aren’t safe for questions. Oversight is treated like sabotage. When we see tyranny & say nothing, we teach ourselves to accept it & civic courage dies. Not with a bang but with handcuffs. Never stop peacefully resisting!

It's amazing how bad they are at all of this and still it largely works for them, though that could change and pretty rapidly. It already is.

No kings has been our thing for 250 years. We aren't going back.

For America's 250th birthday, Trump plans to celebrate the demolition of America's democratic institutions and their replacement with an authoritarian dictatorship over which the Trump family will preside as a dynasty.

Arresting someone for asking a question ain’t a display of strength. It’s a display of weakness.

Sen. Schiff: "Alex Padilla, on the ground, face to the ground, and in handcuffs — if you were looking for an image of our democracy in handcuffs, look no further."

Regarding recent immigration actions and the Club World Cup.

MAGA = Mindless. Arrogant. Grotesque. Assholes. Years from now, historians will write about this dark period. An era where an American president led a movement of hatred, racism, violence, intolerance & revenge against his own citizens. The Civil War is the only event other event that compares.

A square mile doesn’t justify a $134 million military occupation, troops sleeping in squalor, or ICE agents terrorizing our communities. Americans feel unsafe. This Saturday, on #NoKingsDay, let’s show up in numbers—and send a message: we will not be ruled by a mad king.

It’s a losing bet for the cable news channels to spend money airing Trump’s military parade on Saturday bc no one’s going to be home to watch it, people all across the country are overwhelmingly going to be at the “No King” protests.

Stephen Miller is a bitter, spiteful, cold-hearted man — venomous in his words, ruthless in his actions, brimming with seething hatred, malicious intent, and a twisted, sadistic delight in others’ pain.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.
