Summary of the Trump admin's comms: Iran may have nuclear weapons but our intelligence shows they do not but they probably do but we have the best intelligence in the world but our intelligence is probably wrong and we're not going to ask why our intelligence is wrong but it probably is.

He really said that. This man makes me hope Trump stays healthy.

After months, I remain unconvinced by this theory. That DHS is acting extremely unprofessionally is not evidence of secret J6ers. Rather, I believe it reflects longstanding culture problems within ICE, a chaotic multi-agency approach to raids, the corroding effects of quotas, and Miller’s extremism.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

This.

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Two things: 1. The purpose of these visa checks is to reduce any sort of dissent against the Trump administration globally. 2. Social media posts that reflect "hostile attitudes our citizens, culture, government or institutions" would disqualify the majority of Trump admin officials.

Remember when Brad Lander Caught Kristi Noem Stealing $80 Million? www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/18/r...

I say again: men are clearly too emotional to be in leadership.

Breaking News on the #NoKings Zoom call, THE NEXT MASS ACTION WILL BE JULY 17. More info here: goodtroubleliveson.org.

Why are we playing this game? The U.S. called our diplomats and personnel home 24 hours before the strikes. Obviously we knew.

I'm going to the local protest tomorrow. Me, my daughter and my 75 yr old brother. I don't want to, but I need to. For all of us. I'm old and I like staying in my house. But I'm going to show up. I'll see you there. #NoKings

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

Tonight our photojournalist for The Jersey Vindicator, Andres Kudacki, was pepper sprayed by ICE while documenting the riot and protests at the Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark.

SHUT. IT. DOWN. A senator was dragged out of a press conference for standing up for his constituents and against fascism. Watch how your representatives and senators respond to their own colleague being treated like this. That'll show you how they'll react when it's *you* on the ground.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Stephen Miller represents everything vile about this administration and drawing more attention to him will (a) make it harder for the administration to pretend this isn't creepy white nationalism in action and (b) likely make Trump jealous to the point he shitcans him like Elon. Win-win.
