More chaos at home. More wars abroad. This Trump regime is an international disaster.

"No Kings must break through to normies, independents, and Trump voters feeling remorse...Size is persuasion...If 100,000 people show up for Trump’s parade, but 5,000,000 people turn out across the country for No Kings rallies, who looks strong and who looks weak?" www.thebulwark.com/p/no-kings-n...

Tighten your belts, kids! Trump needs his big, beautiful birthday parade #FYC

I get that these guys have no shame, but that doesn’t mean we should give them a pass for it. Shame on Johnson and shame on the Republican Party that won’t call this out even though they know it’s wrong.

This is one of the best - and most terrifying - images from my bird feeder. 😬

Trumpism proceeds by the successive breaking of taboos. Each time a new one is broken, the previous one is normalized, made to look not so bad by comparison. The cuffing of Padilla was a red-line moment. https://trib.al/soZ0D2H

USMC Ret. Lt. Colonel Joe Plenzler deployed with the same Marine battalion now heading to Los Angeles. Marines training for war are now being deployed against American citizens. This crosses a dangerous line. Brothers, remember your ethos, #RememberYourOath.

This audience member might have just broken Jon #AfterTheCut

Who else nearly fell out of the seat when you heard Cosplay Kristi accuse Sen. Padilla of “political theater”?

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces. We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses. Hello?

Secretary @KristiNoem accusing Padilla of “political theater” is delicious

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Captured by Copernicus EU Sentinel-1, this radar image shows the Mahakam River delta with the city of Samarinda located in the river’s northern bank. Can you spot the many ships? They look like scattered bright spots.🚢 Access the image at its full resolution: www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...

Trump is a disaster at diplomacy. While the State Department tries to distance the U.S. from Israel's attack on Iran, Trump posts that he's going to keep giving Israel weapons to kill Iranians.

The court just confirmed what we all know: The military belongs on the battlefield, not on our city streets. End the unnecessary militarization of Los Angeles now, Donald Trump. Refusing to do so will only confirm your authoritarian tendencies. The country is watching.

Bob Costas nailed it. 🎯

I’m not sure USA has ever faced such a moment. Wholly unprepared to deal with calamity on the world stage. We have a Putin ass-kisser at Sec of State, a drunk at Pentagon and a dipshit asshole sitting in the Oval Office Adderall tweeting. He pulled out of Iran deal, lethal moron.

holy shit -- GOP Rep. Mike Turner tries to "help out" Hegseth by getting him to confirm that the Pentagon does not in fact have plans to take Greenland by force, but Hegseth instead more or less testifies that yep, they have devised plans for that

ABC correspondent Terry Moran’s journalism crime was telling the truth in an era when much of mainstream media is afraid to. Here’s my short On-Target video with @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social.

Of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying an obsequious court to the people; commencing Demagogues, and ending Tyrants. -- Alexander Hamilton, Federalist #1

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

GOP lawmakers on Thursday blasted Democratic immigration policies as coddling violent criminals. Democrats portrayed Trump's escalating migrant sweeps as a dangerous assault on civil liberties.
