Remember: You’ve never seen Donald Trump laugh. He doesn’t laugh. He can’t laugh. He is a psychologically abnormal, stunted person.

Reminder: Americans hate this bill - especially those who know about it, a number that will only grow. Only an administration that hates Americans would propose this. Only a Congress that hates Americans would pass it. And guess what happens when Americans hate Congress. #TakeBacktheUSA

Even more incredibly, the dialogue in this children’s book is basically a summary of SCOTUS’s majority opinion in Obergefell v. Hodges However, this is consistent with the Occupied Supreme Court majority’s position that they and the executive branch can ignore precedent that burdens their views

So, Occupied SCOTUS’s current jurisprudence is that unless the people of each state certify as a class, there is no avenue to enjoin the President from sending the armed forces in to interfere with the 2026 elections. With every word, they spit on the Constitution and our founding principles.

Occupied Supreme Court Authorizes Euthanasia of World’s Oldest Constitutional Democracy Justice Kavanagh, holding dangling electrical plug in hand, notes that citizens who can demonstrate they’re affected by the end of the rule of law may initiate class actions to plug life-support systems back in

This. If there had been any doubt that there is an active conspiracy against American constitutional democracy, and that the Supreme Court’s majority is part of it, today vaporized that doubt. Fly your flags upside down until a constitutional government is restored.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

Grievance 8: He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

Ironically, in the 1920s Stephen Miller's grandparents, Jewish immigrants who settled in central Pennsylvania where they created the inter-generational wealth that helped fund Miller's lifestyle, were attacked with this exact same rhetoric from the immigration restrictionists of their day, the KKK.

Emil Bove is not capable of being an impartial judge on the Court of Appeals.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

We are in a bizarrely fraught political moment when the Democratic nominee for NYC Mayor is making wildly popular promises that he can’t keep while Republicans in Congress advance a wildly unpopular budget bill that reneges on promises that are eminently keepable

Someone please tell him that human trafficking is not a valid way of reducing the trade deficit

BREAKING: Polling reveals that Americans hate being mugged by rich people too

The polling on the “Big Beautiful Bill” is stepped-in-dogshit bad. America, it’s time to stop stepping in dogshit. We can do this.

The world sees a petty, demented, small man flinging his poop at the walls of the Oval Office. Our founders weep. Our enemies laugh.

Francisco Urizar, 64, was detained by ICE while on his work route delivering tortillas. His daughter Nancy is trying to find out what happened to him.

The conditions at an ICE family detention facility in Texas are so bad that adults are literally physically jockeying with children for *water.* This is the desperation ICE is deliberately and, it must be said, sadistically producing. apnews.com/article/migr...

“…that sentiment in the Declaration of Independence which gave liberty, not alone to the people of this country, but, I hope, to the world, for all future time. It was that which gave promise that in due time the weight would be lifted from the shoulders of all men.” —Abraham Lincoln, Feb. 22, 1861

My relatives in East L.A. — born in the U.S.A. — are afraid to go outside because masked men with guns are randomly snatching people off the street. This is a government terrorism campaign against its own people.

BBC Verify fact-checks Clay Travis

Just think - all this could have avoided if the Ayatollah had only bought a handful of Trump’s griftcoins

So when Iranian agents with heavy arms or a dirty bomb or whatever predictably mask up to look like ICE goons, what’s the plan, geniuses?

They are kidnapping and mistreating, if not torturing, INNOCENT PEOPLE. In the name of the USA. The harm done to people and the stain on our country can never fully be erased.

Whereas we all know that someone who took down Trump and restored USAID and other assistance to the developing world would actually have a good shot at the Nobel Peace Prize

The ICE spox data have zero credibility and conflict with BCP data (as @pbump.com points out), but the broader point should be obvious: deploying heavily armed, lightly trained thugs into populated areas to perform unnecessarily violent enforcement without regard to civil rights is … bad

Grievance 11 from the US Declaration of Independence. It’s LA right now, not (yet) Boston. Civil rights and due process, not taxes. But it’s military deployment to enforce illegitimate acts forced upon the states. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grievan...

Chess analysis: By disconcertingly eating his own rook and two queen side pawns, Trump is opening up the board and affording himself various attacking and defensive plans during a congested middle game.

Guy whose ass is splattered across a golf cart on more days per year than there are holidays for American workers has something to contribute to the conversation? Juneteenth Goes Uncelebrated at White House as Trump Complains About ‘Too Many’ Holidays www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/u...

Insanely dangerous. These clowns are gonna get people killed. Including themselves.

Two weeks is a “Trumpnite.” Long enough for people to forget a promise or commitment because it’s also long enough for distract you with loads more dumb shit. For Trump, ‘Two Weeks’ Is the Magic Number www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/w...

“I’m here today because this is something I can do against Trump. I lived during the Nazi time in Germany and they put me in a concentration camp,” he told interviewer Shannon Powell, co-founder of Indivisible Westchester. “Trump is trying to imitate Hitler. That’s what I’m afraid of.”
