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.

Elon doesn’t like the answers Grok is giving about a disinfo specialist, so he says he will reprogram it 👇🏽 This is the propaganda machine they want to poison Memphis for? @MemphisHoller

Trump’s Tax Cuts & Jobs Act created a loophole that made it more profitable for the pharmaceutical giants, including Eli Lilly, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson & Merck, to manufacture some of their most profitable drugs in Ireland...so they did, to the tune of $250 billion. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/o...

Man, do I love Mark Ruffalo.

It’s so on brand Trump Republicans claim CA is under siege WHILE the RNC hosts its Summer Retreat…IN L.A. 🤣 Rumored to be at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons Hotel. It’s all so ridiculous. L.A…Safe enough for the RNC but not Angelenos 🤣🤷‍♀️ At least it’s not at a landscaping company this time

You know what’s more American than installing 88 foot flag poles at the White House? Following the Constitution.

Mystal: It all goes back to Dobbs. It tells everyone on that side that they’re open for business to take away, to smash, every civil right they don’t like. We’re living in the post-Dobbs era.. it’s going to take some time before the country has a moment of clarity about what’s really happened here.

LEFT: The fake picture of the Department of Defense just posted. RIGHT: The reality. So now the military is not just arresting us on street corners illegally but spreading disinformation. And it's only Monday.

Stephen Miller’s wife — who is just as despicable as he is — wanted the Social Security Administration to keep falsely claiming that 40% of all calls to the agency were fraudulent. THAT IS A BLATANT LIE.

#protestsigns

Reminder the President is spending $25-40 million on a parade today after cutting $12 million from school lunch programs in MA and $20 million to improve air quality in Springfield, MA, which has one of the highest asthma rates in the US. Marie Antoinette had nothing on this guy.

If someone tells you this charade was to celebrate the military show them this photo. Who and what do you see at the center. This propaganda shot cost millions of dollars to produce. Every element is intentional.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Trump cut over $500 million from community violence prevention efforts. Today's parade cost nearly $50 million. No more violence. #DumpTrump #NoKings www.npr.org/2025/05/24/n...

Baby's first protest. #nokings

Reminder: While Trump spends over $45 million on a military parade for himself today, his administration is actively working to fire 80,000 employees and veterans from the VA.

REMINDER: Netanyahu convinced Trump in 2018 to withdraw US from Iran nuclear deal that Obama and allies had negotiated. That Deal would've prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. The death and destruction we're seeing now is 100% bc of Trump & Netanyahu www.timesofisrael.com/in-recording...

Trump promised no new wars and to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. At least we aren’t spending another billion losing drones and jets bombing a few Houthis in Yemen, so there’s that.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

That lying bitch Noem claims Sen Padilla did not identify himself. 1. We all saw & heard the tape. He did. 2. Padilla is the ranking member of the immigration subcommittee; she met with him in confirmation hearings. She knows who he is. 3. If she truly doesn’t, she is unqualified for her job.

Same here.

MSNBC correspondent in the heart of LA… @MarshaBlackburn @RepOgles @RepTimBurchett guessing the Fox fear fest pipe you’re hitting all day long isn’t showing y’all this…

Wanted to amplify this resource!

Newsom: This is a national order. We’re talking about you and your state, your own backyard, all depending on the whim of a president who’s unhinged. Depending on how he’s feeling on a particular day, or who’s offended him because he didn’t like what they said on a Fox News clip.

Meiselas: Trump earlier today echoed what his border czar, Tom Homan, said—that they want you arrested. Newsom: Was that said by Erdoğan? Who was that said by? Was that some dictator? Some authoritarian from the history books? No—that was said by the president of the United States.

Friends, as much fun as it is to play "Goon, fiend, or wanker? with the Trump regime, the sad reality is that this regime is actively attacking the LGBTQ+ community. Please share this LGBTQ+ friendly one-pager of mental health resources widely #PrideMonth #MentalHealth #AltComms

Let it out, Republicans. Say it with your chest. Thank you, Joni Ernst for telling us how you all really feel.

“.. these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Why is the US Govt continuing to interfere in the domestic politics and elections of our allies, and why is the Homeland Security Secretary on a lengthy world tour?

Lol. We have no Trump trade deal with the UK.

Wow. Just wow. Dripping with sincerity and authenticity. A contrived fake apology to Lara Trump to pander to MAGA hoping they might buy some books. Packaged in pious sanctimony, smugness, & condescension, then sprinkled with a healthy dose of elitism. Gross. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Trump admits businesses were booming under the Biden administration

"he can't be bought." [Qatar has entered the chat.] [Elon Musk has entered the chat.] [Jeff Bezos has entered the chat.] [Saudi Arabia has entered the chat.] [Donators to Trump's "inauguration fund" have entered the chat.] [Purchasers of Donald's cryptocurrency have entered the chat.] . . .

Accepting a $400 million “palace in the sky” plane from a foreign nation clearly violates the Constitution. Government officials cannot accept gifts “from any King, Prince, or foreign state.” This is the most corrupt President in history.

NPR: “A record 575 anti-LGBTQ bills filed in states through April...” (TN among the most) It’s not Dems that keep making trans rights the focus of every legislative session. It’s Republicans. To distract from the real issues they won’t address.

My dad was a veteran. He taught me to respect all veterans. Before Covid, I volunteered at a VA hospital for more than 10 years. It was honoring my dad and giving back to the men and women who put their lives on the line to serve our country. This is so fucking disrespectful.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

The Trump Admin celebrated the MN Small Business Person of the Year—at the same time their tariffs are devastating her business. She came to the Senate to make her case to end the Trump Tariff Tax. (Note: She doesn’t have the President’s cell to call to get an exemption.)

1/ A case VERY similar to #AbregoGarcia should get more attention - Trump admin sent 'Cristian' to El Salvador's prison in violation of court-enforced agreement - DOJ gave no evidence to judge of TdA public safety threat - Judge (a Trump appointee) has ordered USG to facilitate Cristian's release

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

So... indoctrination?

Exactly.

Pete Hegseth shows real leadership by passing the blame to Mike Waltz. Was it Waltz who set up Signal on Hegseth's office computer and added his wife, brother, and lawyer in a war plan group chat?
