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.

"Trump has spent the last five months vowing that the Ukraine-Russia war would never have happened if he was president, vowing that the Israel-Gaza war would never have happened if he was president. And yet the reality is that not only has he not avoided war, but he’s plunged us into a new one."

You Gov numbers: "Only 16% of Americans think the U.S. military should get involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran; 60% say it should not and 24% are not sure" It's going to change quickly, but let's at least remember where we started. today.yougov.com/politics/art...

So… People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it? Oh, my sweet summer children.

The antiwar President is taking us to war. Does ANYONE believe that if Trump hasn't ripped up the Iran deal for no reason, and Kamala Harris had won, we'd be going to war now? Pathetic stuff.

Trump has no constitutional authority to take us to war with Iran without authorization from Congress, and Congress has not authorized it.

Iranian state television, 'Mr. Trump, you started it and we will end it'... Broadcast shows large graphic of American bases in the Middle East with the headline, 'Within fire range'...

The man who just gleefully detonated 30,000-pound bunker-busting bombs across multiple sites in Iran—who as recently as 48 hours ago lied and said he would spend the next two weeks in diplomatic negotiations with Iran—now says it’s time for peace So how do you think that will go

Trump will soon speak to the nation about the unprovoked war crime of unilateral war that he just illegally ordered. Every word out of his mouth will be a lie. He will lie about history, about intel, about Israel, and about his own interests. He will lie to ALL our faces. 🤬

Iran’s stockpile dropped to 0 after Obama made the Iran Deal… until Trump pulled out of it (against the advice of his own Defense Secretary, General Mattis… because he hated Obama) Feels pretty relevant in this moment.

Just as Iraq had no WMD, Iran has no nuclear weapons. America has entered another unnecessary war in the Middle East

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.

I’m sure this is just a coincidence

are the Iranian people throwing flowers and hailing us as liberators yet

Elon helped put into power a political party that doesn’t believe in climate change or renewable energy. Time for him to take a look in the mirror.

The Trump memo launching an investigation into the Biden White House’s use of the autopen allegedly to conceal his mental state is something else. Why is the White House Counsel in charge of this investigation? That is one indicator that something is awry. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

And don’t forget all the appalling law breaking actions that this federal government continues to do while we talk about the war that this idiot said he wouldn’t get the US into.

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

Feel like a lot of law schools in a lot of cities in a lot of states would not struggle to find students to participate in a program like this.

What f&$@ing idiot drops bombs and then says “Now we need peace”?

In 2022, inspectors described a “cascade of failure” at one foreign factory. The FDA barred it from shipping drugs to the U.S. — then excused more than 20 drugs from the ban, despite risks to consumers.

It is National American Eagle Day. This photo from the Audubon Society captures a feature of these truly magnificent creatures we don’t talk about enough, their feather trousers. 🦅

The video of John Spitzberg's arrest has been shared widely across social platforms, becoming a crystalizing moment for those protesting the Trump administration.

When I was young, if we wanted to find the secret rave, we'd have to be smart enough to solve a puzzle with a few clues placed around the city that would eventually lead us to the address. The next G7 should do that.

The Trump administration’s slashing of budgets and staff have Great Lakes scientists concerned that they have lost the ability to protect the public from toxic algal blooms, which can kill animals and sicken people. (Published May 2025) By @annaleighclark.bsky.social‬

Members of Congress are being denied access to an ICE facility in Manhattan, because the conditions inside are that bad.

This is the most important thing I have written recently that you probably haven't read. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

CBP is holding children in harsh, jail-like conditions for prolonged periods of time. One toddler was separated from her father and held with her mother at a border facility for 42 days. Children belong with their families at home — not in detention.

WH put out a video with 5 reasons to pass the Big Beautiful Bill with Karoline Leavitt, and I want to show you the majority of comments the video is getting on IG

To counter this trend, please enjoy this picture of Petra on my lap being literally the best cat.

State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce: “I think it’s important to not second guess the president.” North Korea would be proud.

It’s so on brand Trump Republicans claim CA is under siege WHILE the RNC hosts its Summer Retreat…IN L.A. 🤣 Rumored to be at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons Hotel. It’s all so ridiculous. L.A…Safe enough for the RNC but not Angelenos 🤣🤷‍♀️ At least it’s not at a landscaping company this time

Singh: The Secretary of Defense is the civilian leader of the military… But if the reporting is accurate that he’s not even part of these conversations, it shows how irrelevant Hegseth has truly become. This is what happens when you have unserious people in serious roles.

You know what’s more American than installing 88 foot flag poles at the White House? Following the Constitution.

The GOP budget bill borrows trillions from our kids to give billionaires a massive tax break. Anyone who votes for this can shut up about calling themselves a "fiscal conservative."

‪ "We establish no religion in this country, we command no worship, we mandate no belief. Nor will we ever. Church and State are, and must remain, separate." --President Ronald Reagan Thank you for reminding me, Mrs. Betty Bowers‬

SAY IT PLAIN: Federal “ICE officers” should not be anonymous. And this shouldn’t be a controversial thing to say.

If only we had warned folks before the election that the real plan wasn’t border security…it was mass deportation in the interior, federalizing the National Guard, ripping people out of homes, families, jobs, and schools. Oh wait…we did. This segment with the author of 2025 aired one year ago.
