Rachel Maddow: “If Trump wasn’t getting the intelligence that Iran is on the verge of a nuclear weapon from the intelligence community… who is he getting it from? Israel?” The right question. And pretty obviously the right answer.

this country is packed with the most uninquisitive and unimaginative people who can't comprehend a better life

President Trump claims the US strike on Iran was a "spectacular military success." We'll see. What we do know is that Trump has pushed the US into a new war in the Middle East with considerable risks of escalation. Here are the risks I'm concerned about: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/o...

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

A president bombing a foreign country without congressional approval is ILLEGAL.

BREAKING: The US says it is optimistic that the Iran war will be as quick and easy as the 20-year war with Afghanistan when we replaced the Taliban with the Taliban ♥️

A simple idea that could save your life and help you to be found

Congress died the moment they allowed 147 insurrectionists to remain in office instead of expelling them and charging them with sedition. That’s just my opinion.

The President’s decision will have far-reaching consequences. Nobody wants a nuclear Iran — a muzzled Iran would be a great boon to the region and the world — but the American people also do not want more wars in the Middle East.

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

Funny stuff 🤣 you can find if you dig deep 😉

And these are the same snowflakes who couldn’t handle wearing a mask during the pandemic.

Our nation and planet cannot survive four years of this. It is not sustainable.

It strikes me that if we had swarms of masked men with weapons of war roaming Wall Street chasing down tax cheats and white collar criminals, many Americans would respond differently than they are to swarms of masked men with weapons of war roaming the streets of LA chasing down brown people.

Who did this? 😂

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.

FACT: If you fell for this, you'll fall for anything.

The Social Security trust fund could be depleted by 2033, according to a new report from its trustees. There's a simple way to fix this: scrap the cap on the Social Security payroll tax. https://youtu.be/GfZuB7XSFys?si=p8Zw3o6MIfQi9xoo

On Emil Bove’s nomination to the 3d Circuit, “It’s time for conservatives, even those who support the president, to rebel.”Otherwise, a federal judiciary stacked with utterly unprincipled loyalists will dismember the rule of law and bring our republic to its knees: www.thebulwark.com/p/danger-of-...

“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.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

Says it all.

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

The FDA approved a highly effective, injectable drug to help prevent the transmission of HIV. But the approval comes at an unfortunate time, amid the Trump administration's drastic cuts to efforts to fight AIDS across the globe.

“We're removing additives from food and replacing them with asbestos.” #MAHA

ICE denied U.S. Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) entry into it’s facility in Chicago.

Trump and Republicans are targeting the Social Security benefits our seniors earned over a lifetime. The consequences would be devastating. Don’t just take my word for it—hear it from former Social Security Commissioner @martinomalley.bsky.social.👇

🚨 AG James Uthmeier was held in contempt for continuing to enforce a law that was deemed unconstitutional. "Florida deserves an Attorney General who upholds the law and fights for the people of Florida, not his own personal agenda.” Full statement ⤵️ www.floridadems.org/2025/06/18/f...

#FailureAlert Spoke with an upcoming Princeton University senior who doesn’t know what and why Juneteenth is….. Now I’m thinking of all the VERY important history that this person will never learn in school. #unacceptable

More of this, please. Thank you.

Starship blowing up is a bigger deal than you think. It’s not a prototype in a sandbox anymore, it’s a $4B NASA contract to land humans on the Moon ($2.8B initially, $4B with follow-ons). Every explosion is taxpayer-funded hardware going up in flames.

It was always a crystal clear 100% certainty that if the orange convicted felon was sent back into the White House instead of being sent to prison that he would bring the United States into war, economic collapse and total chaos. This is on everyone who voted for him.

This would have been a terrific moment in history for the United States of America to have a presidential administration with at least the tiniest bit of moral authority.
