At least 14 civilians were killed and 44 injured in Kyiv after a combined attack by Putin’s forces on Ukraine’s capital. Across the country, 66 civilians were wounded — including a child — as rescue crews raced to pull survivors from the rubble.

Tahoma! tonight at sunset. #Tahoma #MtRainier #photography #myphoto

The official attendance in Atlanta today was ~22,000, which I believe is the smallest crowd for soccer in the 9-year history of Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Atlanta United (trash and underperforming this year) is averaging 44,000 per match.

How long did that reversal last? Three days?

News outlets, even propagandist ones, are not legitimate military targets. Bombing a studio during a live broadcast will not impede Iran’s nuclear program. It’s not the work of the world’s “most moral army” and is not something the U.S. should support.

Great to see this on file so quickly. LAPD's assaults on journalists must stop now.

This really, really pisses me off. @votevets.org

Breaking news: ICE agents should continue conducting immigration raids on farms, hotels and restaurants in a reversal of guidance, Department of Homeland Security officials told staff on Monday.

So, when do we get to America First?

America’s leader decided to open the international G7 summit with a long complaint, seemingly in support of Russia. And when other world leaders shut him down and refused to play along with his lies, he took his ball and went home. newrepublic.com/post/196880/...

ICE moves to deport Atlanta-based Hispanic reporter who covered immigration raids www.ajc.com/news/2025/06...

ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card. This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press. www.ajc.com/news/2025/06...

love fades but the chemicals in our bloodstream are forever

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list. I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants. Inaction is complicity.

Your senators should get an extra phone call about this issue alone. This is the exact opposite of government efficiency.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Can’t believe nobody wants to go to a soccer game to be kidnapped by ICE

MyPillow founder Mike Lindell has lost a defamation case against a former employee of Dominion Voting Systems.

Heckuva job, Trump.

Folks look at you like you’re crazy when you say we’re in the midst of the worst, unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in 🇺🇸 history, & then, well, 👇🤷‍♂️

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

All 17 experts recently dismissed from a government vaccine advisory panel published an essay Monday decrying “destabilizing decisions” made by U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that could lead to more preventable disease spread.

This is a Reagan appointee btw.

In his Sunday evening Truth Social screed, Trump (or whoever wrote it) acknowledged that his deportation agenda is rooted in retribution against the Dems and vindication of election-related conspiracy theories.

"we have our trade agreement with the European Union." (That's Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, who has no authority over the European Union.)

OpenAI has been awarded a $200 million contract to provide the U.S. Defense Department with artificial intelligence tools.

I think we are dangerously underestimating how many jobs we will lose to AI and how deep the spiritual cost will be. The industry tells us strong restrictions on AI will hurt us and help China. I wrote this to explain how they pulling one over on us. www.chrismurphyct.com/p/in-our-scr...

FIFA Club World Cup ticket sales tank dramatically after the Dept. of Homeland Security bragged that agents would be “suited and booted" at the stadium in a now-deleted social media post

Trump just posted “Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!”

Trump’s idea of “supporting the troops”? www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

NEW: Alex Jones and Elon Musk are blaming the murder of Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman on leftists and the deep state. But David Carlson, who has known the alleged shooter since fourth grade and described him as his best friend, said he “would be offended if people called him a Democrat.”

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

The Senate Majority leader is lying

Netanyahu’s illegal, unilateral attack on Iran is just his latest violation of international law. The United States must not be a part of this war. My full statement:

Kuato lives!

PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

This is the politicization of law enforcement. It's not about "immigration," it's about demonizing cities and winning elections

Every time the man opens his mouth he tells us how much he loves Vladimir Putin.

In a more serious country, unilaterally withdrawing from the JCPOA would have immediately ended Trump's first presidency & destroyed the GOP's reputation on national security policy for a generation 🧐

"The package also includes cuts to ACA marketplace coverage." www.beckershospitalreview.com/finance/medi...

Unprecedented corruption & constitutional violations still happening daily, right in front of us

so a lazy wireless MVNO with a bunch of poorly-secured chinese phones that will pump and dumped as a brand within a year or two
