The Senate Majority leader is lying

Canada PM Carney stops Trump from going into one of his signature fascist rants against "blue" cities: "Let me exercise my role as G7 chair" #G7

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

Americans will not bow down. Americans will not be silenced. Americans will not be broken by a malignant madman who hates America. I’m more sure of it after today’s protests.

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

Melania looks like terrible after Trump’s empty birthday parade celebration.

Totally unbiased people CDC now. The best people.

At the "No Kings" protest at the Texas State Capitol in Austin. Looks like several thousand people here.

Newsom’s social media team is killing it. (This isn’t an old picture. It’s from right now. I asked.) 😂😂😂😂

Dean Withers. Really. You can't fix stupid. This, also, is 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.

Truth

The Department of Defense was created to protect us, but who is going to protect us from THEM?

How can one be accused of assaulting a federal officer (ICE) if the person hasn’t been shown actual federal credentials during the encounter? This essentially means ANYONE can kidnap you, and you assume that fighting back when some random stranger forces you into a car could get you arrested. #ICE

NEW: The CBP confirmed to @404media.co that it has been flying Predator drones over LA amid the protests. These Predator B drones are military-caliber UAVs used for aerial reconnaissance that can be armed. It further breaks the seal on federal involvement in civilian matters. More here:

BREAKING: This is SO Embarrassing. US Soldiers are practicing in Washington D.C. for Trump's Military/Birthday Parade this weekend. This reminds me of North Korea. How about you?

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

BREAKING: Trump’s National Guard deployment in LA is illegal, a judge ruled. The judge’s order instructs Trump to return control of the troops to Newsom. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

💯 F-ing right

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

i am not being pollyannish when i insist that the people who sign up do not sign up to advance a president’s domestic political agenda www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

Does not matter your political leaning - this is not America. It's not what makes us great. This is the behavior of authoritarians cosplaying as patriots. Today it's someone you disagree with, tomorrow it's you. #America

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period. This shit is out of control. Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

#MAGA is the deep state

MAGA is tearing itself apart over a ‘deep state’ deal that pays Palantir millions to build a database of personal information on American citizens.

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

NEW: Trump’s budget bill caps student loans for medical students well below the costs of medical school. This could worsen our country’s doctor shortage and make it more difficult to find a doctor.

Showing unnecessary force, military parades, vanity like never before in the military.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Where is the list of the executive orders @democrats.org will sign on Day One? Would be provocative and put folks on notice. Just my $0.02

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

This is what it looks like without a United States Congress.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

This is how you tell the truth: “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history. You took an oath to the constitution, not the fascist in the White House." #FreedomToDissent

¶¶1-6 of a long WSJ article draw the line directly from Stephen Miller's wails that ICE is not meeting targets to the Home Depot raid to the protests. This whole thing is just really good journalism, and in an outlet reasonable right wingers might trust. www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

Honesty like this helps us contextualize how impactful these cuts can be.

This. More of this - brilliant ad that proactively addresses the tired 'radical' playbook of the GOP. Lindsey Graham is truly full of shit. youtu.be/J8wMNLaSNW4?...

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

This is the plot of Andor season 2. "Liberate" #LA from their rights?

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period
