BREAKING: Emil Bove - whose judicial confirmation hearing is tomorrow - told lawyers to tell the courts to “fuck off” if they ordered the planes to El Salvador to turn around - per whistleblower Erez Reuveni. Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.

🚨 Be Aware: The idea of enrolling your child in Jiu-Jitsu / mixed martial arts class might seem appealing, but a White Supremacy movement has been using the combat sport to recruit young boys into their neo-Nazi ranks...most recently in Tennessee. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

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.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Immigration is what made America great. If they want to “make America great again” they should understand this.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays. Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088...

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.

We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info. The secret police behavior we’re seeing destroys trust & must end🧵

As climate solutions reporter I find many 'solutions' don't scale- or reduce pollution at all. Which is why after months of reporting I want to tell you about Vienna. Vienna has found a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change, all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in. 🎧⬇️

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.”

Walz: "This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now is the time for us to recommit to the core values of this country ... Talk to a neighbor rather than arguing. Debate an issue. Shake hands. Find common ground. This is who Melissa Hortman was."

Italian singer Adriano Celentano released a song in the 70s with nonsensical lyrics meant to sound like American English — to prove that Italians would just love any American song. It was a hit.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

HEGSETH: The mission in Los Angeles is about maintaining law and order REED: Excuse me. Law and order is a civil function under the Constitution of the United States

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

Unlike blind faith that America is exceptional and everything will work out in the end, hope is when you take an active part in the thing that carries out the theory that it will actually get better. Action demands hope, but hope requires action. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

I hope they never stop tweeting. My god.

Bondi DOJ has a problem. On left: DOJ Indictment and Detention Memo allege Abrego Garcia lied to officer by not revealing he was coming from Texas On right: DHS Referral Report: "Subject stated he was driving 'three days ago' (11/27/2022) from Houston, TX to Temple Hills, MD (via St Louis, MO)"

The Trump Administration always had the power to bring Kilmar Abrego back. They were always lying about this, all of it was lies. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl... They chose to disobey court orders because they are authoritarians who regard the Constitution as an inconvenience.

Authoritarian regimes erase history to silence resistance. Renaming USNS Harvey Milk—during #PrideMonth —isn’t neutral. It’s a warning. We honor LGBTQ+ leaders by defending democracy. Don’t let them rewrite our future. Read more HERE: www.cbsnews.com/news/navy-ne...

This guy consistently posts songs with incredible lyrics mere hours after events unfurl. This was a good one.

“Elon’s megalomania and tendency to lash out indiscriminately seem to have soured things with every person he’s encountered in his entire life,” said an anonymous source close to the embattled tech mogul theonion.com/rift-wi...

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

Carl Sagan in 1986 on the problems with media and science literacy.

“One out of every three federal workers that have been fired is a veteran. Elon Musk is perhaps the person who's fired more veterans than anyone else in modern American history.” Paul Rieckhoff joins Jen Rubin to discuss the upcoming June 6 protests honoring the anniversary of D-Day.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Public schools are not for religious indoctrination. Texas, we'll see you in court.
