Was consumed all day at work by the fact that trump tweeted "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" at Iran, which from any normal president would be hugely consequential and it wasn't even a story because the media has just sort of deformed itself into nihilistic acceptance of the fact that he's insane

Brad has been released and the crowd breaks into a chant of “Free them all.”

The Government Accountability Office found that the Trump admin broke the law when it withheld funding for the nation's libraries. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

Oh boy, Jake, if you want a redo on aggressively covering the WMD claim that led to a war, do I have a story for you!!

I think if you’re a lawmaker calling for U.S. military action against Iran, you should be required to post a verified video of yourself pointing it out on an unlabeled map and offering at least an undergraduate level summary of the past five years of Iranian foreign policy.

Trump just shared this alarming text from Israeli Ambassador Mike Huckabee, effusively praising him while telling him that no president has been in his position "since Truman in 1945" (when the U.S. dropped the atomic bomb on Japan) & that he "will hear a voice from heaven" telling him what to do.

"If you live in the US, you are in greater jeopardy today than you were 6 months ago. So is your family. So are your friends & neighbors. Virtually all the important parts of the U.S. gov't created to protect us are being shut down, gutted, or marginalized . . . " AMERICAN SPRING MADE IN USA 2025

Israeli forces kill 51 Palestinians waiting for flour at Gaza aid site, witnesses and rescuers say

Utah Senator Mike Lee is facing major backlash for his reaction to the shootings in Minnesota.

Holy crap. The US-UK trade deal is a blank sheet of paper and only Trump signed it. (Genuine screen grab).

More footage from Kyiv. The damage to residential buildings is severe. Another act of plain, Russian, terrorism.

🚨 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. 🧵

I know a lot of people just don't really know much about foreign cities, but please imagine how it would go if someone told all of NYC to evacuate "immediately," and then add two million more people to that scenario

as someone prone to directly confronting people for stuff they say online, that from lee is the face of someone who did not expect to be confronted for something he said online

Political violence must always be condemned.

So let me get this straight. 2nd degree murder charge for the guy that had a list of dem lawmakers to kill?? But Luigi kills a CEO and is charged with terrorism?? This is not an Administration it is fully a crime syndicate. They are very clear the rule of law means nothing.

“I find it unconscionable that someone could step up to serve, voluntarily, in our military and be willing to sacrifice their life for our country only to have their families torn apart.” This article first appeared @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social

The NYT is afraid of a handsome mayor

Thou shalt expel Mike Lee from the Senate and banish him from society, for he mocked and celebrated the murder of a political opponent.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

Yassss! Go Team 💙

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

If you’re the senate majority leader and you’re not sure what to do, here’s a song to help you remember: Thune Thune Bo Bhune Banana Fanna Expel Mike Lee

Censure now

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

Okay. The world can see this. Why it so hard for 30% of Americans to continue holding out hope a leopard will change it's spots?

I’m just watching this G7 summit, and man, our country is being embarrassed like never before We’ve never had more pathetic leadership than what we’ve got right now A totally unprepared “President” that honestly has no clue what’s going on Other countries are laughing at us You deserve BETTER!

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

NEW: The American Bar Association is suing Trump over his attacks on law firms. Here's a gift link for more info: wapo.st/4le2DLL

FOX: The Committee for a Responsible Budget came out today and said it will add $15 trillion to the debt THUNE: This will reduce the deficit, not increase it

Who needs to look at baby woodpecker again?

Toomaj, the famous Iranian rapper and freedom fighter who has been one of the biggest targets of the Islamic regime, has posted this statement. Toomaj has been out of prison for the past few years and has sacrificed a great deal fighting for freedom.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mike Lee shouldn't just be expelled from Congress, he should be expelled from public life, just completely shunned by everyone he encounters like in that episode of The Twilight Zone. He is unfit to hold public office and his party should take action. The party won't, but it should.

These are all the countries in Africa that would be part of Trump's travel ban. Insane.

Awful men make comeback after comeback in this country. The fault ain't just in our stars.

this new directive will heavily affect garment workers, as they are based in these cities

A truly moving & brave statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark: "The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." 💔😔

@padilla.senate.gov Why did you tell @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com that the people ICE is arresting in LA are “non-violent criminals?”

We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info. The secret police behavior we’re seeing destroys trust & must end🧵

lol huma abedin, famously formerly married to democratic pervert freak Anthony Weiner, decided to get married to a soros on no kings protest day and invited every dem elected & power broker who, of course, attended the wedding instead of protesting alongside those they purport to represent

Among other things Melissa Hortman, murdered along with her husband yesterday by a far-right assassin, was a climate champion throughout her political career. I found a few things to that effect.

A company called "Frontier Valley" has declared it will build a new Network State zone on federal land in Alameda, California. Below: A "draft" presidential executive order that would have Trump declare a "national security emergency" to permit the project. PR stunt, or aggressive new phase?

I think one measure of who is bringing the violence to protests is how many reporters have been injured by protesters and how many have been injured from police.
