I’m about to speak on the Senate floor to memorialize the devastating loss of Melissa and Mark Hortman. Tune in here ⬇️

Brad Lander has been released.

Imagine the Possibilities 🔥🔥🔥🔥 * Universal Healthcare * End Homelessness * Solve World Hunger * Affordable Housing * Universal Basic Income * No Deficit I’m in 🤭🤣 #SheShed #PissOnTheTraitor

“OK, Boomer” just got flipped on its head. At protests across the country this past weekend, older Americans turned out in force, leading chants, waving signs and showing that resistance has no age limit. And their passion isn’t just inspiring. It might be what helps save democracy.

The California Democrat returned to the Senate floor Tuesday to warn that the Trump administrations response to immigration protests in Los Angeles should "shock the conscience of our country."

Right now the LAPD is holding a meeting trying to justify the police brutalizing the Los Angeles community for standing up against ICE. Join here lapd.zoom.us/s/289225944 to demand the LAPD be held accountable for their excessive use of force and for their assault on the people of Los Angeles

Lander and Padilla have set the standard that absolutely every Democratic politician should meet or exceed if they don't want to get primaried.

Absolutely right.

You should listen to the international newsrooms trying to figure out their coverage - “if he bombs Iran.. but he if he doesn’t.. but what if he does before we have lunch. Can we have lunch?” I speak 5 languages, so I can confirm - everyone is having same issues.

Lander is incorrect that a judicial warrant is required (only an administrative warrant), but ICE refuses even to show him that, which is outrageous. If they have a warrant, they should show it. If they don't, they don't have arrest authority. But him holding on to the guy... could be trouble.

C-SPAN caller to Tapper: "When are you going to examine what's going on with Trump? ... this president has been pure chaos, which indicates to me that there is something wrong with him. We will never get a straight answer on his medical exam, and yet you have gone after Joe Biden with a vengeance."

We're a decade into this shit and I still cannot get my mind around how America put the single worst human being it has produced in the postwar era in charge not once but twice.

Bartiromo: "The Senate Finance Committee unveiling the text of President Trump's bill ... it includes even steeper Medicaid cuts than the House called for." (Trump has repeatedly claimed that the bill doesn't cut Medicaid. Oops.)

Davidson: "Even the most optimistic pro-growth tax models-- not CBO - everyone says this increases deficits in this Congress and in this presidency. So even if you say 'we're gonna take into account high growth and tariffs,' it still hurts deficits." (Note that Maria is unhappy about his comments.)

Harry Enten on Trump's bill: "The amount of disapproval for this bill -- holy cow, my goodness gracious! We're talking about 29 points underwater ... we're talking about a negative 41 net favorability rating among independents. You rarely ever see proposed pieces of legislation as unpopular"

Their friendship might just be the sweetest thing you see all day 🖤 🔊 📸 adventuresofbissandolee

CNN: "Breaking just moments ago. New data showing consumers cut back spending sharply last month ... this does appears to at least partially be driven by a hangover from tariffs."

The Golden Age

Ethics watchdogs criticizing Biden for not setting enough safeguards against Trump…is like the cops criticizing you for not having enough deadbolts in your house when you get burgled.

This woman works on a farm that's being raided by ICE. Her fear is palpable. She just begs people who see her post to tell others what is happening so maybe she can find her kids if they are also taken. This is inhumane and cruel, especially without due process.

Border Patrol is continuing raids on farm workers in Ventura County, especially Moorpark and Oxnard. Agents are circling like sharks. Farm workers in areas with heightened activity should check in on each other and take steps to stay safe. Report what you see to us.

Senate Republicans released their tax and health plans for Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. This new Senate bill means MORE people lose health care to fund even BIGGER corporate tax breaks.

Imagine if the headline were, "Trump refuses to show most basic decency" or "Trump continues to ratchet up tensions in wake of assassination" rather than "we hang on Trump's every word."

President Trump said that he had no plans to call Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota after a man assassinated a state lawmaker there and wounded another over the weekend. "I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him," Trump told reporters.

(Axios) - President Trump's immigration crackdown is burning through cash so quickly that the agency charged with arresting, detaining and removing unauthorized immigrants could run out of money next month. @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/06/16/i...

Good question.

Trump said yesterday that Putin should be allowed back into the G8. This was Putin’s response.

Context note: DOJ doesn’t turn over evidence to Congress if they have a viable investigation in the works.

Read "Lawmakers in Washington press for more security following Minnesota shooting" on SmartNews: l.smartnews.com/p-lR6BwHo/sy... NPR lost their funding in that DICK bill today. Why would Repubs do that at a time like this? Repubs should get NO taxpayer security.

BREAKING: 87 year old veteran was released from the D.C. jail after being arrested Friday on the Capitol steps while protesting the Trump parade. Asked how it felt to be arrested at 87, he replied, 'I'm just beginning, my friend.'

Four-year-old Mark, who was saved by his mother Anna at the cost of her own life, is recovering. On the night of May 18, Anna Yefymenko, 27, was killed by a Russian drone attack. A direct hit on a residential building destroyed the family's home.

The cowardice of the Congressional GOP to not put guardrails on the lunatic in the Oval Office - as they are required to by oath - is overwhelming at times.

When is the next No Kings protest? What do you say, gang? Same time next month?

Donald Trump was *humiliated* yesterday. Make no mistake, a man with such a brittle ego will lash out at innocent people to pretend he controls the narrative. He doesn't. We do.
