Wow a new car that isn't a giant monstrosity

I do love that we’re just re-using plots from the Bush administration now. “We have to stop Iran from getting WMDs” bro you changed like one letter

NEW: A ProPublica investigation found that for more than a decade, the FDA gave substandard factories banned from the United States a special pass to keep sending drugs to an unsuspecting public.

"They’re taking Shirly": An Army sergeant thought his family was safe. Then ICE deported his wife. [Published with our friends @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social]

Davidson: "Even the most optimistic pro-growth tax models-- not CBO - everyone says this increases deficits in this Congress and in this presidency. So even if you say 'we're gonna take into account high growth and tariffs,' it still hurts deficits." (Note that Maria is unhappy about his comments.)

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

North Korea out there calling balls and strikes.

This should be bigger news.

Has there ever been a less relevant Secretary of State than Marco Rubio?

NEW: Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) speaks on Senate floor at 1230pm eastern about his "forcible removal from Dept of Homeland Security press conference", per advisory

Both sides news coverage is killing democracy and there is no place where it is more dangerous that in how legacy media covers the GOP attacks on free and fair elections. For my latest and to access all Democracy Docket premium content, sign-up now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

Ron Johnson: "What us old people have done, basically indebting our children, stealing from their future, their prospects, the way we've diminished them, is immoral. It's unconscionable. We have to face that and we have to do something about it."

“Over 250 million acres of public lands are eligible for sale in the bill, including local recreation areas, wilderness study areas and inventoried roadless areas.” www.wilderness.org/articles/med...

CNN: "Breaking just moments ago. New data showing consumers cut back spending sharply last month ... this does appears to at least partially be driven by a hangover from tariffs."

Good question.

Context note: DOJ doesn’t turn over evidence to Congress if they have a viable investigation in the works.

Has Khamenei considered purchasing a Trump phone plan? That might forestall a bombing campaign

A baby almost died outside a closed hospital. Mom pulled into the Crozier-Chester Medical Center begging for help but the hospital emergency room was shut down. A group of nurses happened to be nearby and helped save the baby. This is the Republican policy in action.

Trump said, "No more immigration raids in fields or at hotels/resorts" Miller said, "AYFKM?" Trump said, "Just kidding Stephen." Who is running the show? Miller or Trump?

TRUMP FLIPS AGAIN: Farm and hospitality workers won’t be exempt from ICE raids after all.

Trump has fled Canada in shame, he couldn't handle the pressure of world leaders using multisyllable words during the G7 and became angry when they condemned Israel for its illegal war on Iran. Rumors are swirling that the US is about to formally enter the Israel-Iran war.

This mom can’t get her daughter’s rescue seizure medication because it was denied by insurance. Let’s ban abortions meanwhile children that are alive can’t access life saving medication!!

LAPD shoves an unhoused woman to the ground so hard her skull cracks open and she’s knocked unconscious. They then carry her to the curb, prop her up and abandon her. Witnesses took her to the ER.

Thou shalt expel Mike Lee from the Senate and banish him from society, for he mocked and celebrated the murder of a political opponent.

Trump is alone, humiliated, surrounded by loser supporters, and extremely angry. This is when he'll be at his most dangerous and will do as much as possible to hurt America and the world.

When House Republicans passed their version of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill CBO estimated their destruction of Medicaid would take health insurance from 11 million Americans That wasn’t enough for Senate Republicans Folks If you participated in the #NoKings protest THIS IS PART OF WHAT YOU’RE FIGHTING

Weird how the “we’re broke” crowd goes quiet whenever war is on the table But we have to throw 11 million off health care, cut food stamps, etc right?

🍸 this really isn’t the best time to have an alcoholic Secretary of Defense…😵‍💫

If you’re the senate majority leader and you’re not sure what to do, here’s a song to help you remember: Thune Thune Bo Bhune Banana Fanna Expel Mike Lee

A “shift” never happened. A chaotic raid at a worksite and a warrantless sweep in our communities have the same outcome. Bullshit rhetoric aside, they’re hunting us down while we’re trying to feed you. Who’s actually in charge?

Psychopathic

Thou shalt not start World War 3! ESPECIALLY when you ran on preventing World War 3.

😅🤣

San Antone’s first openly LGBTQ+ mayor!!! Texas is a changing, and I am here for it. An Air Force veteran under the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy. Beat her Republican opponent. Blasting Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan at her victory party is the chef’s kiss 🏳️‍🌈 www.texastribune.org/2025/06/07/s...

We aren’t just living in dystopian times, but in disgraceful, shameful, and dangerous times. Dystopian stretches our reality into some surreal space, but here and now is uglier and base prime evil. A guttural, feral place that is indescribably frightening. Like a declawed cat that keeps scratching

The Asshole-in-Chief.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

I honestly can’t. The whole “well she was illegal,” shit is not flying with me. There have been undocumented immigrants in this country since god knows when. This is calculated callousness and cruelty. I’m starting to think this is political. Those who either didn’t vote for him, or opposed him…

Sen Mike Lee & the silence from Republicans made it clear: decency is in the rearview mirror. After he mocked a political assassination, Ed Shelleby, a senior staffer to Sen Tina Smith, wrote to Lee’s top staffers. @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com read it on-air, and honestly everyone should hear it.

The SAVE ACT suppresses the votes of married women. The GOP veils this horrific bill saying it prevents non-citizens from voting. That’s a lie. Non-citizens are already barred from voting. This bill is intended to strip away a married woman’s rights. #Pinks #OneV1 ⬇️ www.forbes.com/sites/hollyc...

Last year, Kroger's CEO raked in $15.4 million — 457x more than its typical employee. Kroger also announced $7.5 billion in stock buybacks. I don't want to hear that Kroger can't afford to treat its employees fairly. Solidarity to these workers.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

"All democrat cities. " I think he is pissed about #NoKings . This is a little man and he is our president.

Thank you, Madam Speaker.

“I find it unconscionable that someone could step up to serve, voluntarily, in our military and be willing to sacrifice their life for our country only to have their families torn apart.” This article first appeared @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social

Not one MAGA Republican can bring themselves to address the horror inflicted on the Hortman children by one of their own. No expression of sincere condolences, only humor at the expense of the dead. Blessed be the fruit. I guess.

It's pretty notable that mainstream, establishment discourse never ever ever considers giving liberal politicians credit for crime reductions. It's almost axiomatic that if crime goes down under a center-left leader it's either unremarked upon, or must be driven by something else.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?
