I just. I just really hate how much this is starting to feel like yellowcake/WMDs/Iraq. Please call your reps.

Why am I not surprised?

Every day a different Democratic member of Congress should go to an ICE facility to inspect their detention facilities or speak to a detaineeโ€”and bring the media. Thatโ€™s such an easy fight to have.

I head to court in two months to face off with my rap*st. This is the actual jury trial, and Iโ€™ve already spent a lot in traveling and Iโ€™m pursuing justice. Just throwing this into the universe. A re-share would mean the world. gofund.me/869834ef

SCOOP: Trumpโ€™s tax bill includes a little-noticed line that spends $200 billion on a tax break that rewards private equity firms for taking over small businesses and then loading them up with debt, slashing employee pay, mass firing workers, and driving them into bankruptcy.

๐Ÿ”ฅ The NAACP wonโ€™t invite Trump to its national convention in Julyโ€”marking the first time in its 116โ€‘year history that a sitting president has been excluded. NAACP President Derrick Johnson: itโ€™s โ€œa waste of our time and energy to give a platform to fascismโ€ www.blackenterprise.com/naacp-exclud...

Bravo!! NAACP The way I see it. He is no President "Waste of Time" "Won't give a platform to fascism"

Robert May has taken the GOPโ€™s โ€˜family valuesโ€™ initiative in a very dark direction.

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.

I'm only sad that people 25 years from now won't fully appreciate this comedy gold They'll likely not know that Donald Trump uses the phrase "two weeks" whenever he's completely out of his element, overwhelmed and confused, outclassed and outmatched and desperately playing for time like a schoolboy

E. Jean Carroll: This is a man who wears apricot makeup, with his hair twirled around his head like Barbara Stanwyck in Ball of Fire. I was so closeโ€”I heard almost every single thing he said. The fartingโ€”you wanted to know about that? It was a silent oneโ€ฆ sort of.

Shouldnโ€™t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

Time for a General Strike! โ€œTwo Weekโ€ Trump is trying to get rid of holidays for working class people. Heโ€™s cost the US economy trillions of dollars in losses in the last 6 months and financially ruined millions of hardworking families. #3E #generalstrike

This tweet from a MAGA Republican. An outright death threat.

If itโ€™s true that hegseth and Gabbard are excluded from the deliberations and itโ€™s Rubio, Vance, Caine and Ratcliffe it confirms that Trump knows what everyone else does which is that the two of them are hopelessly out of their depth clowns or worse. Now Trump is scared. And frankly itโ€™s good โ€ฆ

You might think "law enforcement agencies" would be able to, you know, follow the clear letter of the law but you would be mistaken.

See how it works.

NEW: According to an administration official and another close associate of the commander-in-chief, Trumpโ€™s heavy consumption of Fox News content is increasing his appetite for direct military confrontation with Iran.

And wearing really badly tailored suits.

His tradition is to not pay the tailors who transitioned from tent-making.

What an excellent piece by Jamelle Bouie @jamellebouie.net -- here's a gift link so you can read it without the paywall: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/o...

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts: 1. Those who donโ€™t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

Thank you, Madam Speaker.

I am going to see Hamilton tonight. I find the message of the play (never giving up and upholding the Constitution) very timely and motivating. Who is jealous of me? (Please retweet to get the word out because this is special to me.)

Trump's average approval rating has now fallen to low 40's-worse a Quinnipiac poll last week had his approval at 38%. But do you get that sense from corporate media?! Nope! Why isn't corporate media pointing daily how Trump is horribly unpopular?! Oh yeah because they are corporate media!

"It is believed that Secretary Noem may have been inadvertently exposed to trace amounts of integrity."

It took Netanyahu 29 years, but he finally found an American president who was itching to go to war with him against Iran.

Always.

Q: "Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon." Trump: "I don't care what she said. I think they were very close to having one."

Mike Lee Stresses He Would Have Posted Same Thing If Own Family Savagely Murdered

As long as theyโ€™re hiding their faces, badges and names we should stop calling them โ€œfederal agents.โ€ Call them masked goons or unidentified thugs or whatever, unless and until they provide proper ID.

Meta's AI discover feed is (still!) leaking user conversations with its AI. With its scale/import in shaping people's perception of reality, it is hard to think of a worse actor in the AI space than Meta, or to imagine a more invasive, user-hostile product than this www.404media.co/meta-invents...

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

This is Lavora Vincent. She's brilliant, courageous, and she'll give you hope for the future. Listen to her 3 minute response. You won't be disappointed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJQS...

Jury finds Mike Lindell guilty of defaming Eric Coomer of Dominion Voting Systems. Lindell spread conspiracy theories and accused Coomer of treason in Trumpโ€™s 2020 landslide election loss. Lindell now owes Coomer $2.3 million #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/AOGahnXNTRwS...

Trump has fled Canada in shame, he couldn't handle the pressure of world leaders using multisyllable words during the G7 and became angry when they condemned Israel for its illegal war on Iran. Rumors are swirling that the US is about to formally enter the Israel-Iran war.
