Over three years ago, my colleagues and I voted to honor those who bravely defended the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 with a plaque. Republicans have refused to follow the law and install this in memory of their courage.

Iran launched 14 missiles at a U.S. base — and Trump's takeaway was that it was no big deal. The 5X draft-dodger ordered the strike on Iran. He escalated the conflict. Now he shrugs off American lives in danger like it’s nothing. Unfit. Unhinged. Un-American.

Regardless of political views, reckless or illegal behavior by any President should outrage all Americans.

The answer is either yes or no. And we all know which of those “I dont recall” is.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

A federal judge in Tennessee just denied the government’s request to keep Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia locked up while it appeals his release. Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr. upheld the magistrate’s order to free Abrego Garcia,

Former Trump lawyer Emil Bove who was “willing to ignore court orders in order to fulfill the president’s aggressive deportation campaign” per a whistle-blower” has a confirmation for a 3rd circuit judgeship Wednesday, a move widely seen as fastracking him for SCOTUS www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

The European Union says it will take action against Israel if it does not stop its genocide and other war crimes on Gaza. The European Commission will allocate $230 million to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees and Palestinian Authority. #FreeGaza

Are we clear yet that it’s a problem to have a pathological liar and malignant narcissist in a position of such power?

Watch this space — and bring your popcorn.

American Olympic champion sprinter Wilma Rudolph was born today in 1940. A polio survivor, she was a bronze medal winner in 1956 in Melbourne. Rudolph claimed three gold medals at the 1960 Rome summer games. Following her Olympic triumphs, she actively supported civil rights causes. She died in 1994

If you’re like me, you’re wondering why in the absolute fuck hasn’t he been yanked from power… Yet. #OnRepeat

We the people have spoken. Congress must do their job and represent the will of the nation. Say NO to “King” Donakd!

Take note.

NEW: VoteVets Responds to Trump’s Illegal Strikes on Iran

77 million voted for this lawless man and every damn elected Republican has refused to push back for five straight months as he flouts our laws, violates our Constitution, attacks our people—and now recklessly and illegally wages war.

Musk and Rubio claim their aid cuts haven't killed anyone. So I challenge them to join me here--they'll see the kids they are killing with USAID cuts, moms dying in childbirth. They'll see millions of doses of wasted medicine because they canceled contracts. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/o...

Happy friday

There are exactly 500 days until the midterm elections on November 3, 2026. Assuming we can prevent their cancellation by a lawless president invoking the Insurrection Act . . .

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

They dug up the grass in the Rose Garden. There are dozens of news articles about it. Scores of photos. The Trump WH confirmed it. MAGA: “That’s not the Rose Garden, it’s a different one!” A different one. You cannot reason with that level of willful fucking stupid. You can’t.

How awesome is this!!!

ICE's increasingly aggressive tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They do not make us any safer. I’m calling for an independent investigation right now — this abuse of power must end.

Imagine having to sue congress to compell them to follow THEIR own law THEY passed... Thats where we are... 🥴😔🤨 www.cbsnews.com/news/police-...

Israel's Prime Minister may think no one will notice what he's doing in Gaza while he bombs Iran. People face starvation. 55,000 killed. Aid workers and doctors turned away at the border. Shooting at innocent people desperate for food. The world sees you, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Bless the Dodgers for ejecting ICE! America’s pastime is baseball, not chasing down hardworking mothers and fathers.

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

Peace be upon us.

Kristi Noem went to the hospital because she visited a recently closed infectious diseases lab with RFK Jr and God is sorry but that is funny as fuck.

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID. This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

19 June 1899 | A German Jewish woman, Jeanette Königheim-Feilmann, was born in Jever. She emigrated to The Netherlands. In September 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz. She did not survive.

This should be bigger news.

The split screen today is incredible. A virtually empty scene for Trump’s military boondoggle in DC while millions pack the streets from coast to coast for #NoKings rallies to defend the constitution. He was weak before today and will look even weaker after.

The joke of the weekend is going to be a man who was so scared that he had his daddy keep him from having to fight in a war...and is now having a military parade to try and convince people that he is brave. #BoneSpurs

The most Los Angeles sign ever. And it’s true.

Wish we had a police chief like this in Florida instead of a Sheriff threatening to kill people. #NoKings

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway. I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many

Even if you only care about citizens and not people living here since they were teenagers, this does incredible harm to two American citizens and helps no one at all. Except Miller and other ghouls who get off on violence to dark skinned people. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

I just finished this custom quilt which I designed to fit in a particular location. Here's hoping the customer likes it. #quilt #quiltsky #customorder #sunset #originalart #womensart #makermade

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

To mobilize the National Guard, Trump cited 10 U.S.C. 12406, which authorizes the president to do so when the U.S. faces foreign invasion or rebellion or when he cannot otherwise execute the laws. This is NOT such an occasion. So today’s coup is manifestly illegal and must be stopped judicially.

Once on vacation I had to drive an hour to an FBI field office just to find a secure phone to call into a White House meeting. Pete Hegseth is an amateurish mockery to anyone who ever actually took security seriously and needs to go.
