Jasmine Crockett slams Republicans with a game of ‘helpful’ or ‘harmful’ to Americans. HARMFUL: ✅ Stripping healthcare from 16 million Americans. ✅ Laying off hundreds of thousands of federal workers. ✅ Delaying or disrupting federal services such as social security. ✅ Cutting Medicaid & SNAP.

the more i think about this the more i think that his campaign was a showcase for how centrists *say* they want democrats to campaign. the issue is that what this looks like varies from place to place. i would not expect mamdani to be able to win in virginia, but a mamdani-style campaign could!

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"

Sierra Club’s forest campaign manager, Alex Craven: Trump admin is ignoring the voices of millions of Americans to pursue a corporate giveaway for his billionaire buddies. Stripping our national forests of roadless rule protections will put close to 60m acres of wildlands on the chopping block.

Police violence is rampant. Wearing a badge does not make you right - it just means you swore to protect and serve the unarmed people you gladly beat the hell out of.

No more business as usual!! I hope you’ll take a moment to watch this—a starter kit to a Normie Revolution. “We can’t want change and act the same.” TRUTH! @thebrittbee.bsky.social

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

They’re lying about Medicaid cuts. They’re lying about the deficit increase. They’re lying about what they accomplished in Iran. They lie about everything. It is just a nonstop torrent of lies intended to flood the zone with propaganda.

Trump attacked Iran without consulting Congress, and used 14 of our 20 GBU-57 bombs to set their nuclear program back by ....months. Moreover, they moved their existing enriched uranium supply to an unfounded disclosed location. Now he cannot get the ceasefire he himself pronounced. Loser.

This just makes me sick. They want to clear-cut pristine wilderness, destroy wildlife habitat, and sell off national forest land to developers. Once sold, we’ll never get it back. How does that song go? “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.”

“The unspoiled land in question includes millions of acres of the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho…” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/c...

Refugees in Kenya have died at food distribution centers, officials noted, including a pregnant woman crushed to death during a stampede. Aid workers said they expected more people to get hurt “as vulnerable households become increasingly desperate.”

This is exactly what Trump plans to do to our national parks, forests, wilderness area. www.usatoday.com/picture-gall...

Israel lied. It said the Iran War was exclusively intended to end the Iranian civilian nuclear program. This weekend, Trump said he did that. Israel responded by—and I quote—EXPANDING its war against Iran to include universities, civil landmarks, and military targets unrelated to any nuclear program

From the Cato Institute; this one is worth reading. Topline: "nonpublic data from ICE indicate that the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind." Don't let their lies dominate the narrative. www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

The poll can be found here: today.yougov.com/topics/inter... And the partisan splits (or relative lack there of) manage to be even more impressive

The Senate bill wants to sell our public lands to private equities. Private equities are made to destroy and sell off piece by piece. Our lands will not last. Enjoy the fresh air while you can.

This is just wrong on so many levels Instead of preparing for possible terrorist attacks after the Trump administration bombed Iran The Department of Homeland Security is brutally beating and detaining a laborer who's the father of 3 US Marines Can we at least pause the fascism while we're at war

Nothing to worry about, folks! His career includes stints as gardener and grocery clerk. He’s been out of college one year. More in link. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Sober assessment from General Hertling

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

Dem leadership can’t seem to read the room. Or worse, they just don’t care because $$$

I do not believe that this a formalized gathering, yet. Rather it is an impromptu request of fellow #Utah citizens to demonstrate in opposition to #MikeLee's quest to steal our beautiful Public Lands & privatize them, on the cheap, for the wealthy & powerful. #UTpol www.reddit.com/r/SaltLakeCi...

no accidents

Economists missed the mark on climate change. With almost a trillion dollars in climate-fueled disaster costs, the effects are more devastating than they could have imagined. From @ryanlcooper.com: https://trib.al/HKdQbSU

We were very happy to give this scoop to @marisakabas.bsky.social's The Handbasket because it is important to support independent journalists who are doing the hard work at this time. Giving this story to Marisa also guarantees it will be in The Washington Post verbatim exactly 48 hours later.

CNN, CBS, and Bloomberg are now reporting that White House officials say that Tulsi Gabbard was in the Situation Room tonight, which means we're no closer to finding out whether Tulsi Gabbard was in the Situation Room tonight

Maybe the part about him needing to be impeached and removed is on page 2?

One day after claiming he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, President Donald Trump joined the war in the Middle East by dropping the biggest non-nuclear bombs in the U.S. arsenal.

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.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Seems important.

Trump's decision to bomb Iran had little to do with intelligence. For years, including when he was last in office, the public U.S. intel assessment has been the same: Iran was not trying to build a nuclear weapon.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

I don’t think it’s great that the dumbest fuckheads in the world are in charge.

Say it again for the dumb ass MAGA in the back 🗣️

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again. And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.
