BREAKING: Palestinian witnesses and hospitals say Israeli forces opened fire toward hundreds of people waiting for aid trucks in central Gaza, killing at least 25 people.

While the world watches Israel's war with Iran, Netanyahu's extremist government continues to starve and massacre Palestinians in Gaza. Today, Israeli forces again opened fire on people desperately trying to collect food aid, killing dozens. Over 56,000 have been killed so far.

1. Donald is embarrassed by shoddy military birthday parade. 2. Donald's bill in Congress is wildly unpopular. 3. Donald's ICE kidnappings are wildly unpopular. 4. To distract, Donald bombs Iran. 5. This is wildly unpopular too. 6. So Donald declares ceasefire. 7. Iran/Israel ignore Donald.

Mike Johnson is threatening to have members of Congress arrested if they interrupt Netanyahu next week. Laugh in a Republican's face the next time they start lecturing you about free speech. The only speech Republicans care about protecting is hate speech, which always leads to violence.

FIRST ON MSNBC: "I introduced myself and said I had a question. Look, they said I wasn't wearing my pin — my polo says 'United States Senate.'" Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., speaks about forcible removal from Department of Homeland Security press conference.

here’s the moment LASD advanced on protestors with horses and used flash-bangs as we reported live yesterday. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp-vi...

Ross told me he enlisted in the Marines when he was 17 because he loves his country and to help his parents get a path to citizenship. protesting directly in front of Marines deployed by President Trump he told me "it makes me feel sad... a lot of Marines, they’re all Hispanic."

Ross, the Marine I met at the protest on Saturday, and I met up today and he shared more about why he has protested Trump’s immigration crackdown daily — even after getting shot with less-lethal munitions. thank you @nicollewallace.bsky.social for having us. youtu.be/kWebOXEZJ6Y?...

The Department of Homeland Security is reversing last week’s pause on immigration enforcement actions at agricultural and hotel worksites, per my colleague Gabe Gutierrez.

asked for an invite to VP Vance’s press conference here in L.A. today — his office said no.

“He has always worked hard to put food on the table for us and my mom,” said Alejandro. “He was always careful and always did his taxes on time. He never caused any problems and he is known as a kind and helping person by everyone in our community.” santanero.org/2025/06/21/l...

what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

No president has ever managed to sound more like a dweeby middle-manager at a drug store than Donald Trump and his "thank you for your attention to this matter" tweets.

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

Rich People and Pundits Really Do Not Want Zohran Mamdani to Be Mayor But while Cuomo allies and the assorted opinion sections may not like what Mamdani has to offer, large swaths of the people of New York certainly do.

the way the ruling class rehabilitated the image of disgraced Andrew Cuomo, serial groper, in order to stop Zohran Mamdani is something.

Big Balls done got himself castrated.

We’re raising $1,500,000 for 10 AI-controlled air defense turrets that will protect Ukrainians from russia's terrorist attacks. Russia has launched over 45,000 strike drones at civilians since the start of the invasion. Help us hit the goal & save lives. #3E #StandWithUkraine

This is a bone-chilling account of what one witness reports Bove and others are doing to the rule of law. (Ignore the milquetoast headline and focus on the substance). Justice Dept. Leader Suggested Violating Court Orders, Whistle-Blower Says www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

He knew the court would order the planes turned around, and told his DoJ lawyers to tell the court to fuck off. This letter has already shown up in the South Sudan DVD case in a motion filed by the Plaintiffs at SCOTUS today.

“I promise you, it would have been a war crime.” that’s what Alejandro Barranco told me what would have happened if he treated a detainee when he was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marines like federal agents treated his father.

Three years after Uvalde, it’s back to business as usual in the #txlege Banning red flag laws is irresponsible, reckless, and devastatingly deadly. But #TX lawmakers would rather spread misinformation and easily debunked lies than act to save lives @texasgunsense.bsky.social

Mamdani's upset victory has sent MAGA into a full-on panic mode.

New: Pete Hegseth says he’s launched another leak investigation with FBI into disclosure of classified report saying limited damage to Fordow — “We're doing a leak investigation with the FBI right now because this information is for internal purposes, battle damage assessments.“

Hegseth is mad that the truth got out. So he’s going to get to the bottom of that.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the Secretary of Health & Human Services says he has no idea United Healthcare has been defrauding Americans out of $80 BILLION a year. If we’re looking for waste, fraud, and abuse, this is the largest source of waste, fraud & abuse of public dollars & public insurance.
