What am I worried about? -Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East -cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration) -Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs) -Allied assistance (we’ll need that now) -Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

Iran’s foreign minister:

Read my full statement on the bombing of Iranian nuclear sites below.

CNN never disappoints in being disappointing. At least they’re consistent in that aspect….

This JD Vance op-ed did not age well

NARRATOR: The War Powers Resolution does not let Trump do this

this is an extremely important point. “everything is up for debate” is moral rot. I am emphatic about telling my students that there are not always two defensible sides to an issue. sometimes there are! but sometimes there are more than two. and sometimes there’s just one.

Imagine what happens if LAPD figures out how much good will they can earn by bullying ICE agents

Family detention at Dilley, begun in 2014 under Obama and halted under Biden, is back — and it’s just as bad as it’s always been. I visited there in 2015 the week before long-term family detention was restricted in court. I’ll never forget the listlessness of the children held there for months.

Reporter: Your intelligence community said they have no evidence that Iran is building a nuclear weapon Trump: My intelligence community is wrong…Tulsi Gabbard is wrong. #ProudBlue #IranIsraelConflict #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpIsANationalDisgrace #IsraelIranConflict

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /

the takeaway from this is that, for all practical purposes, stephen miller is the acting president of the united states. trump is just play-acting as the boss, as he did on the Apprentice. (gift link) www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Remember when the wacky radical left raised the warning of ICE becoming an extrajudicial militarized goon squad? How do they come up with that crazy shit???

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

NEW: Pope Leo’s newly appointed Bishop, Michael Pham, outside the court in San Diego: “We need to speak up for the voiceless in our society - and we will.” The video then shows masked ICE agents leaving without snatching anyone today. More of this resistance nationwide! 👏 (🎥 PSL San Diego)

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

The Dodgers announce they are donating $1 million toward direct financial assistance for families of immigrants impacted by recent events in the region, with more announcements to come.

I think it should be a bigger story that the Senate is preparing to confirm five Trump judicial nominees whose answers to questions about the 2020 election are exactly what you would say if you were a “Trump only lost because of voter fraud” conspiracy theorist

"Americans have never protested so much yet gained so little leverage. This is not the fault of protesters but of the multifaceted mafia state." sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/i-spent-no...

Don't let them distract you. Republicans are trying to sell off millions of acres of your public lands to billionaire developers — all as they take away your benefits. Now is the time to make some noise.

ICE mass deportation agents “scattered” as Bishop-elect Pham, newly appointed by Pope Leo XIV, and other clergy visited immigration court on Friday: timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06... #WorldRefugeeDay

And without due process this Georgia-born American citizen spends the rest of his life disappeared in a jail in Jamaica. Do you get it yet?

SCOOP: The funding behind the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has been murky. Now, top US officials are "forcing" USAID to approve up to $210 million to it. Israeli forces have killed hundreds of Palestinians near GHF sites. Per docs, GHF anticipates $1 BILLION+ from other unnamed "Government Donors."

ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a “secret police,” with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-believ...

this is deliberate, it’s not vance being clumsily racist and vance served with him for two years, he’s deliberately invoking josé padilla because he’s a troll piece of shit

Oh man. That's disqualifying. Will Senate Democrats try to block the nomination?

wow

The early NASA Mercury Program lost 4 rockets as we learned how to achieve manned space flight from the ground up. 60 years later, Elon Musk charges taxpayers $100M per failed launch… now 10 total, totaling over a Billion in wasted funds. What kind of “meritocracy” is this? #ProudBlue

Sun Herald: DOGE installed a Starlink satellite internet system on the White House roof, causing a confrontation with Secret Service over national security risks due to improper tracking or authentication of internet access. This should be fine.😳 #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

🧵‼️ As someone who grew up around the fringes of what BECAME this, please, trust me when I tell you that it is absolutely true, it is VAST, and they have been working on their takeover of our nation for DECADES.

Another loss in court for Trump Admin. Feds can't block Harvard from hosting foreign students, judge rules www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

The Supreme Court's bias toward corporate interests is persistent, pervasive, and exhaustively documented. But it is still extraordinary to hear a sitting justice bluntly call it out and castigate her colleagues for consistently twisting the rules in favor of big business. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Viva Zohran

The aspiration must be to purge the Republican Party of those hostile to democracy by all available means.

He was detained outside church. “He was in chains at his feet,” Alondra Sotelo-Garcia told a local news outlet about seeing her father arrested. “Shoelaces were taken off, his belt was off, he didn’t have his ring, he didn’t have his watch. Everything was taken from him.”

Lee’s greed was a tactical blunder. Call the Senate tomorrow. They’re weak on this. 📞 (202) 224-3121 www.usa.gov/elected-offi... “Lee drew strong condemnation from many of his fellow conservatives in particular, who have slammed the proposed sell-off as a betrayal of the American people.”

This is a cover-up‼️ DHS is illegally trying to change the rules on congressional oversight visits to facilities to hide human rights abuses. “We know that they’re trying to hide all those abuses. That’s why it’s important that we can just get in at a moment’s notice.” – Rep. @gomez.house.gov

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

“A horrible display of waste… rotting fruits and vegetables… store after store closed… if the ice raids continue be ready for even bigger sticker shock when you go grocery shopping…” 🍎 🥕

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

Federal law has a 48-hour rule that basically says if you’re arrested, you must either be charged and brought before a judge within 48-hours (not incl weekends/holidays) or be released. The family of the Colorado attacker have been held for 2+ weeks without charges filed. Charge them or release!

The NY political machine must be smothered
