ICE forces U.S. Army Purple Heart veteran to deport—after taking 2 bullets in combat. Sae Joon Park "miraculously" survived being shot in spine—then given 3 weeks to deport to South Korea. Will miss dying mother's funeral—then his daughter's wedding. Was legally in U.S. under deferred action.

Rise & shine Sens. Gillibrand, Schumer, and Rep. Jeffries! Looking forward to your statements in support of the Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for NYC mayor!

New in PN: SCOTUS clears the path for Trump's network of global gulags "With one paragraph, the Court undercut lower court judges and consigned countless immigrants to be renditioned to a system of gulags. It will have lasting corrosive effects on American civil society and respect for the courts."

Primary every Democrat who is not meeting this moment. Get rid of them all.

Corporate Elite look at polls that say people don’t trust Democratic Elite and tell US they need to move way to the right, while voters keep showing them what why want is leaders who are strong & consistent & left-of-corporate.

Clinton, Clyburn, Summers, Palantir, Bloomberg, NYT, Wall St, AIPAC...all tried their best. The entire establishment went full racist and Islamophobic in the end. Still Mamdani won. Biggest F U to the Democratic Establishment and 1% since AOC win. Wow.

AOC's win and Mamdani's win are going to be seen as historic gamechangers for the Democratic Party and establishment.

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

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

New in PN: Trump’s reckless Iran strikes could backfire spectacularly "America has entered few wars with less forethought, less deliberation, and more contempt for the public. Trump has recklessly endangered the country and world. It’s not much consolation that he may also have endangered himself."

Disconnected-from-reality prez promotes a reality show war. "[T]he president mostly decided to drop bombs because he saw Fox News coverage of the Israel attacks and thought it looked cool. So in a real sense, Trump went to war bc Murdoch persuaded him to drop some bombs." 🧾 bsky.app/profile/atru...

So the new strategy is to not answer any of the questions AND continue to spread debunked conspiracy theories in front of Congress? This is the US ATTORNEY GENERAL, folks.

The Trump administration has spent months illegally impounding funds in the name of waste, fraud, and abuse. Congressional Republicans are now seeking to cut GAO, an organization dedicated to rooting out waste, frauds abuse, roughly in half.

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

When 47 pulled the United States out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)—commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal—in 2018, many warned that it would set off a chain of events that could destabilize the Middle East. And here we are. No pay wall. www.mediaite.com/opinion/trum...

Per CNN’s @mkraju.bsky.social: Top Dems on House and Senate Intel Committees were not briefed on Iran attack

By disregarding his own intelligence advisors that Iran was *not* about to have nuclear weapons, Donald Trump has, without any justification whatsoever, provoked Iran to retaliate against American troops in the Middle East and American civilians at home. He is a irresponsible, simpleminded idiot.

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

A Virginia guy hunted a Latino man, cornered him, questioned him, and then shot him and his friend, because he assumed the guy was an undocumented immigrant. He was radicalized by Fox News etc. and, of course, Trump. www.wric.com/news/local-n...

President Donald Trump has bizarrely claimed that the Iraq War took place in a “pre-nuclear” era as he tried to justify the possibility of a U.S. attack on Iran.

Millions of acres worth of public land would be put up for sale in the Senate version of Trump’s big, ugly bill. It’s a massive privatization of a public good that everyone gets to enjoy – all to finance tax cuts that predominantly flow to the super-rich.

Trump: "We're looking at doing something where in the case of good, reputable farmers, they can take responsibility for the people they hire. Because we can't put the farms out of business ... I never want to hurt our farmers. They keep up happy and healthy and fat."

"Only 8% of the 805 miles the state identified for construction is complete, which has cost taxpayers more than $3 billion to date..." www.texastribune.org/2025/06/17/t...

So he can't pump and dump with the tariffs anymore because people finally caught on so now he has to pretend to start a war instead

Totally negating "oversight"

AOC played ball and did everything Pelosi told her and was rewarded by being passed over for a 75-year-old who died four months later. There have now been four House votes this year where Dems lost by the margin of members who died in office. No one has more right to say this than her

When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court. Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.

If there's one legacy of the War in Iraq that Democrats should have internalized, it's the fact that those who lined up behind the war drums all came to regret that decision while those who wisely refused to go along were soon vindicated. One of the latter rode that decision to the White House!

Which, for those who don’t know, is undeniably illegal. Even DHS *grudgingly* admits that the statute giving Congress oversight of ICE facilities—passed in the wake of Trump 1.0 bc of, you know, all this the first time—does not give ICE the right to deny MOCs access, ever.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

A vote for this new resolution barring war without congressional authorization would send a strong message that MAGA really does want Trump to resist foreign entanglements. “It’s a test of whether the MAGA movement is really antiwar,” Ro Khanna tells me in this piece:

Israeli tanks kill 59 people in Gaza crowd trying to get food aid, medics say reut.rs/4kJ6zUF

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

Iran: Weeks away from having nuclear weapons since 1995

Waste Fraud ABUSE

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

There a reason the protests are being covered differently from the Tea Party The Tea Party was a front for the wealth class that owns the media and were used to demonize necessary reform These protests were democratic and populist, which the wealth class and its media opposes Hope that helps

This is huge. The Trump administration wants to vastly expand the practice of shipping people to random countries they have never been to before, and are now making this part of a threat; either the countries accept taking third country nationals, or they get banned from visas.

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it
