As major American cities brace for potential terrorist attacks in retaliation against the U.S. air strikes on Iran, it’s reassuring to know that Trump just appointed a 22-year-old former gardener and grocery store assistant to lead U.S. terror prevention. 🥺

We have a lunatic taking us to war with Iran and their allies, a clown car full of cabinet members, and not a single group of republicans with even a smidge of a backbone to join democrats to keep America safe. This was all avoidable. This is all unnecessary. Rich men’s wars are NOT WORTH DYING FOR.

It’s not the worst idea I’ve heard today.

ICE is a terrorist organization.

Must see/share video! Imagine your precious child getting dragged off in handcuffs & jailed & then deported to a country where he has no connections. That's what happened to Ada Amador when her 19 yo soccer star son, Emerson Colindres was detained at a routine immigration check-in. #Fascist #ICE

Most Americans now disapprove of Trump's performance, whatever he does. Walking around like a mobster,making ridiculous comments and using the Office of the Presidency to enrich himself while the nation suffers. In Canada we go forward, make deals with other nations and watch as Trump dissolves. 💜

Trump pardoned Edward Kelly after his conviction for assaulting police and breaking in to the Capitol on January 6th. Later, Kelly was convicted of plotting to assassinate FBI agents. He now faces life in prison. When will we take right-wing extremism seriously?

You’ll notice that the American state media are no longer concerned about age seeing as the orange felon is now nearly 80 years old and all they’ve been doing is normalizing his birthday dictator march. They have completely failed all of us as well as our democracy.

Key excerpt from Judge Breyer's ruling in Newsom v Trump: "..the Court must determine whether the President followed the congressionally mandated procedure for his actions. He did not. His actions were illegal—both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment."

When you don’t believe in governing-you cut vital programs Like FEMA Then tell states to handle emergencies themselves Even though you know they can’t-because they need programs Like FEMA To keep people from dying But you don’t care enough to fund vital programs that will help them Like FEMA

Trump gave an ex-Fox News host with a drinking problem the power to deploy the military into US cities to crush protests and violate our constitutional rights protected by the 1st, 4th, 5th & 14th Amendments, to help an ex-Governor who shot a puppy continue abducting immigrants.

Really trashy to hear Sabalenka whining about losing the French Open final to Gauff and not giving Gauff credit for what a fabulous match Gauff played and how she outplayed Sabalenka both physically and mentally.

Love this.😍🥰💙🧡 #LGM

Pete powers us to a win in Los Angeles 🔥

I went back to read this 2017 piece this morning because of the recent breaking news about Miller's screaming rants at staff to arrest and torture more immigrants, and his diversion of 5000 law enforcement officers from other investigations to do his bidding. www.univision.com/univision-ne...

The US dollar: * worst performing G10 currency this year * tracking for its worst year-to-date performance since 1975. 🇺🇸

Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1961...

Why would the French Open schedule an all American quarterfinal great matchup between Madison Keys and Coco Gauff for 5 AM US time (11 am France time) Wednesday morning when it could’ve been the second or third match of the day in France instead of the first match.

The #Mets need now just one more win in LA for the key to the season series after a nail biter last night. But, of course there was a price for admission last night. Sigh. That plus notes and stats and cool stuff on the win. www.justmets.net/p/mets-win-a...

The Mets fans booing Soto are very stupid. He needed support when he returned from Yankee stadium. No matter how bad he is playing right now this is counterproductive

MAGA Dummies will blame Walmart for raising prices.

Approval ratings of U.S. Presidents in their first 100 days

If you're not going to support January 6 police officers because the people who attacked them happen to be your supporters, then you don't really support law enforcement. You're just being partisan hacks.

I’m proud to announce the launch of “Wait A Damn Minute with Katie Phang” - in partnership w/ @thepersistnetwork.bsky.social. We’re tired of the unchecked lies & propaganda being spewed by Trump. So we’re bringing the TRUTH & the FACTS in 60 seconds or less. I’m your new Shadow Press Secretary. 🔥

The highlight of the night on Wednesday? The raccoon sighting at Citi Field. Also - notes from the loss, David Stearns’ update on Mauricio, state of the #Mets, and more. From @andrewsteeled... www.justmets.net/p/mets-drop-...

Now that we asked Holmes to pitch through the equivalent of a monsoon rain storm, I t’s a good thing Citi field brought out the grounds crew to make sure it’s perfect for the Pittsburgh pitcher. whose home-field advantage is this?

But wait We were told tariffs were this brilliant economic strategy through which China would pay America billions of dollars and help "make America wealthy again" I mean, if we're making $2 billion a day from tariffs, why lower them It couldn't have all been a lie Could it?

Over 70 million Americans are on Medicaid Approximately 36.5 million of them are children And MAGA Republicans want to take it away from them-to pay for Donald Trump's tax cuts for billionaires It's cruel It's heartless We have to stop it And then we must VOTE THEM ALL OUT #momsformedicaid

Every Republican in Congress should be asked if they agree with Trump that it’s a “good thing” if truck drivers and dockworkers lose their jobs

So the Mets Mothers Day game is only available on Roku? So what % of our entire Mets fan base will be able to watch it on TV.

Between the Knicks and the Mets games last night, it more than made up for Sunday’s Mets double header.

Pete Alonso leads the National League in the following categories: AVG: .349 OBP: .469 SLG: .674 OPS: 1.143 fWAR: 2.5 wRC+: 215 Hits: 45 Doubles: 13 #Mets
