Leavitt without a trace of irony: "When you have a totalitarian regime, you have to save face. I think any common sense, open-minded person knows the truth about the precision strikes on Saturday night. They were wildly successful."

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

This won’t succeed but it is not normal. This is very dangerous. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs? VOUGHT: I reject the assertion MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

🚨ICE is detaining a record 59,000 people, an increase of 10,000 people in a single month — with detention centers massively overcrowded and people being forced into squalid conditions as the admin pushes to hit Stephen Miller's dangerous quotas of 3,000 arrests a day. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-rec...

Hot take: people should be able to call the police to verify if they think they’re being kidnapped by men in masks who won’t identify themselves in unmarked cars without it being a “resisting” crime

LENOIR CITY, TN — pregnant fiancée of an American lost her baby in ICE detention after they denied her prenatal care after pleading for help for days. (@ltgovmcnally & @lowellrussell21’s district) Unimaginable cruelty. @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

I know it is easy to get distracted with all the horrors going down every day, but don't forget that yesterday, the bribe-takin' US Supreme Court put its seal of approval on gratuitous human trafficking. These are evil times.

AOC: You are not aware that the Trump Department of Justice is investigating the largest insurance company in America for fraud of Medicare Advantage that you have jurisdiction over?

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

This “big, ugly bill” is dangerous and will destroy rural health care. In Kentucky alone, 35 hospitals are under the threat of closing, stripping care from families, cutting jobs and crippling local economies. 1/2

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

This is what the world looks like with a pathological liar/idiot in the White House.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

In the last few weeks, MAGA has assassinated a Democrat politician, carried out half a dozen terrorist attacks, encouraged violence against US civilians by ICE, supported a new war in M.E., harassed bombing victims in Ukraine, and crashed out at an image of Trump blowing Putin.

UPDATE: “The man who impersonated ICE to intimidate the employees of a Philly auto repair center — and steal about $1,000 — will face numerous felony and misdemeanor charges…”: www.phillyvoice.com/philly-robbe... Fake ICE agents were inevitable. How can cities be proactive about this?

Touché.

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

Operation Midnight Hammer was not launched at midnight in any of the time zones that mattered. I'm going to call it Operation 2:30 Screwdriver just for clarity's sake.

Yet again America is bombing the Middle East and yet again we the American people are given a very lame excuse as to why.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

“Jenkins’s pardon was another move by the Trump administration to reward political loyalty and give his blessing to elected officials who profit at the expense of public trust,” Jessica Pishko writes. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/pard...

There was a survey a few weeks ago that found half of Americans thought ICE was just hunting criminals. The institutional press have failed to make clear ICE’s primary strategy today is capturing people through the use of compliance traps, and shipping them off to substandard prisons in the South.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

New in PN: “Neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party” — @mcopelov.bsky.social unpacks his signature phrase "When the right-wing party becomes a far-right party, that’s a recipe for our system being taken over."

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

Again: we can’t help but notice how the “we’re broke” crowd seems to think we have plenty of money for war and bombs and stuff 🤷🏼‍♂️ 🇺🇸 💰

Seriously, they're the worst!

This. From every Democrat. You do not fucking back down. You hold the line. This is leadership. This is how we respond to fascist intimidation.

1/10 What if I told you MAGA isn’t just politics, it’s the militant wing of a fake Christianity? At the heart of this crusade is the 7 Mountain Mandate,a doctrine preaching domination over democracy.If we don’t name it now, it will define our future #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Why does Foreign Affairs publish a piece making the case for the US to join the Israeli military effort in Iran without disclosing the fact that two of the three authors are paid propagandists for the Israeli government? The article is competently written, disclosures are necessary.

Test your titers, folks! With RFK Jr. doing his best to bring back measles while sabotaging the miracle that is our modern vaccine safety net, I checked mine and learned — surprise! — whatever measles immunity I once might have had, I'd lost. So I got another shot ... while I still could.

you also may not even need to test them before getting a booster — i’m healthy overall so my doctor said it wouldn’t hurt me to get the booster regardless. absolutely cosign getting any and all vaccines you may need (i got tdap, mmr, both shingles shots, etc)

Evil, petulant, dumb, and unfair to millions of people who paid into the system and deserve much better. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

You’ll learn a lot about how seriously Americans take the words “freedom” and “liberty” by how they think transgender folks should be made to live. Now on Substack: johnfugelsang.substack.com/p/land-of-th...

See, most of the time when people say something is Orwellian, they are full of it. This, on the other hand, is actually Orwellian.
