Lord save us from Christians who didn’t do the reading.

WATCH: @mizzwelch.bsky.social points out Israel gives their people universal health care, and we don’t, yet we send them billions in aid and arms yearly (which they are using to bomb multiple countries) #MedicareForAll

The launch of Trump Mobile is more than just another tacky branding stunt. It's the latest chapter in Trump's relentless, desperate, and cartoonishly corrupt scheme to squeeze every dollar he can out of his time in the White House.

My lord. US taxpayers financing OpenAI and Palantir surveillance of US citizens. Big Brother. #econsky www.cnbc.com/2025/06/16/o...

We recently joined a bipartisan coalition of 52 attorneys general to support military veterans and their families who have not been able to get their full G.I. Bill education benefits. #orpol #veterans

Children belong in learning environments, not on job sites. As states move to roll back child labor protections, educators are sounding the alarm. These rollbacks threaten kids' safety, education, and future. We’ve fought too hard to protect children’s rights to go backwards now. seiu.co/407kTOy

One question about the timing of the criminal charges against Mr. Abrega Garcia, which are tied to a 2022 Tennessee traffic stop, was answered by a DHS special agent now testifying. The agent said he was asked to begin his investigation on April 28 of this year. @tennesseelookout.com

A benefits calculator that the Department of Veterans Affairs used for figuring monthly compensation amounts for disabled veterans had errors that incorrectly lowered payments for certain complex illnesses and injuries, a federal watchdog found. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

Trump’s actions are getting blocked repeatedly by different judges on different courts appointed by different presidents. Could it be that the issue is not all these judges but rather a president who thinks the law doesn’t apply to him so keeps breaking it? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/b...

WATCH: “What are you afraid of, Andy?!” Rep. Andy Ogles refuses to hold a town hall, is instead co-opting Memorial Day for a closed-door presser inside a CLOSED CAPITOL today with ICE, pushing his anti-immigrant agenda alongside Jack Johnson, Bulso + other Republicans 🇺🇸 Meanwhile, outside:

The Pope just posted another plea to let aid into Gaza.. GUARDIAN: “2 days after Netanyahu announced he was lifting the siege, Israel still blocking food”: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m... (IDF just fired shots at foreign diplomats in the West Bank. Video: www.instagram.com/reel/DJ66DL7...)

Children in some foster homes had so little access to personal care items that when asked what he wanted for Christmas, one 15-year-old only asked for his own deodorant.

There is a federal law specifically forbidding DHS from spending any money to prevent a member of Congress from inspecting an immigration detention facility, explicitly including if unannounced. This will not be the last bogus charge against a member of Congress and if that doesn't wake them up...

Say it with your chest.

Love Jimmy John’s unwich subs but I stopped buying them when I saw him with a dead giraffe

“Federal prosecutors across the country may soon be able to indict members of Congress without approval from lawyers in the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section, according to three people familiar with a proposal attorneys in the section learned about last week.” @washingtonpost.com

Millions of Romanians are celebrating tonight nationwide. This is what democracy looks like, despite Russia's insane manipulation campaign and army of influencer-propagandists, the people saw right through the bullshit and made the right call for their future. Romania is undefeated. 🇷🇴🇪🇺

THIS!

When he typed this, S&P had just downgraded the US bc of GOP govt shutdowns. Yesterday, Moody’s downgraded the US bc of GOP govt policies.

NASHVILLE… ICYMI… www.thedailybeast.com/kid-rocks-re...

Is this what they meant by they can be “assimilated easily”? 🫤 www.thebulwark.com/p/an-afrikan...

NASHVILLE: “Panic at Trump supporter Steve Smith’s restaurants indicates his own Broadway empire relies on employing immigrants not authorized to work in 🇺🇸” Kitchens closed to avoid ICE in at least 3 bars— including @KidRock’s… Imagine that! www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1862: Robert Smalls, an enslaved person and ship’s pilot, takes over the CSS Planter, an armed Confederate transport. Smalls steered it past Confederate defenses and surrendered it to the Union Navy, while also freeing himself, his crew and their families. /1

JUST NOW — Ben from Ben & Jerry’s interrupts the RFK JR. hearing: “Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza and paying for it by kicking kids off Medicaid! They need to let food in to starving kids in Gaza!” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DJpRn4B...

NEW: Following our successful motion in court, the dangerous data-sharing agreement between ICE and the IRS has been almost entirely unredacted and made public. americanoversight.org/following-am...

Exactly.

Did Trump and Pam Bondi make a deal with the Sinaloa Cartel? It would seem so, and now 17 cartel family members have been allowed to enter the U.S. apnews.com/article/el-c...

“These kids were in their cells with no beds on a concrete floor with a state-issued green mattress — flame retardant — a blanket and a sheet and nothing else. No light. No nothing,” a former staffer said.

The Supreme got many things wrong in Citizens United. One was the assurance that all of the new campaign spending it had just unleashed would be transparent.

NEW: As the Trump admin is flying Afrikaners here today to be resettled as "refugees," @Sec_Noem is terminating Temporary Protected Status for Afghanistan — meaning they may start deporting women and allies who protected our troops to the Taliban to be persecuted or killed!
