WATCH: Sen. Chris Murphy on the intel report showing the U.S. strikes on Iran nuclear program were not as effective as Trump claimed: "We were supposed to get a briefing today. It got canceled. I think it got canceled because they are trying to figure out how to lie their way out of this mess."

If your hope is for Iranians to rise up and overthrow their oppressive regime, this is not the way to win their hearts and minds, I would venture to guess. But I guess this is just for the lulz

I guess I’m on team “not Cuomo” but if the choice to lead America’s single greatest city is down to “inexperienced socialist” and “corrupt sex-pest” maybe we need to have a hard conversation about the Democratic Party’s bench problem.

Like, the country is being destroyed by an authoritarian movement maybe its time to ask yourselves if maybe you’re not doing things correctly.

Having flirted with the idea of running for office, the first question you get asked is “how much money can you personally raise for us” and maybe the Democratic party would be in a better place if they assessed people for deeper things.

“Mads told Nordlys he tried to explain the images as being harmless and meant as jokes but the immigration authorities ignored his pleas. He claims he was then strip-searched, forced to give blood samples, a facial scan and fingerprints.” Deeply unserious county.

Presidents of both parties have muddied the water on unilateral presidential military action, but an attack on a sovereign nation with barely even a pretext of a lawful reason, no congressional involvement or even interest, and no UN involvement would be a new low for “checks and balances.”

The Terminator movies don’t fully explain what happened, but you could imagine a scenario where a bunch of unethical people start robot companies and get control of the government so there is no oversight and then they make a series of mistakes that lurch toward catastrophe.

Every one of these petty, ideologically driven visa denials is an assault on our freedom of association, our right to hear, and our ability to learn about the world around us. They are meant to make us stupider, more susceptible to manipulation, and less free. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/w...

Two things: 1. The purpose of these visa checks is to reduce any sort of dissent against the Trump administration globally. 2. Social media posts that reflect "hostile attitudes our citizens, culture, government or institutions" would disqualify the majority of Trump admin officials.

The end stage of the grief process is acceptance - the long term outcome of everything that is happening right now is that the US becomes a less important nation going forward, financially, scientifically, military, and ultimately culturally. What other outcome is there?

🚨THIS STORY IS INSANE. The Trump administration shipped a guy to be imprisoned in El Salvador without trial, in conditions worse than we treat even convicted serial killers, because he was in a picture standing next to someone with tattoos. LITERALLY NO OTHER EVIDENCE.

I think that the Army’s 250th anniversary deserved to be recognized respectfully and it is sad that the President centered himself in that. Next year, we’ll celebrate the 250th anniversary of our country, and this narcissist will still be President.
