This is 22 KM from Trump's golf course, where the local turbines that helped make this possible drive him batshit insane.

The same Donald Trump who Unconstitutionally bombed Iran – is the same Donald Trump who Unconstitutionally put American Marines and National Guard on American streets. Don't normalize Trump's pathology!

Zelenskyy calls Russia, Iran and North Korea a ‘coalition of murderers’ during UK visit

For months, the focus on Trump's Big Ugly bill has been on the considerable financial impact--stealing from the poor to give Elon Musk a task cut. But now the GOP is in a mad sprint to fund Stephen Miller's dragnet. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/23/j...

Damn right!!!

Trump kidnapping your spouse and bombing Iran because he got mad and sending the Marines to Los Angeles to prop up his campaign of domestic warfare and rendition, while ordering the Justice Department to wage expensive psy ops on people who say he didn’t win an election he lost are all a distraction

This is simply horrific. @timmiller.bsky.social reacts to disturbing footage of masked ICE agents violently beating the father of U.S. Marines

Thousands march through New York City’s Times Square protesting the bombing of Iran.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Sen. Mark Kelly also admitted what his "big fear right now" is.

Following a rich white man to war because you didn’t like the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the stupidest things ever.

What a small man Hegseth is. He is clear in his book that whatever he told the SASC, for him it's not really about physical standards, it's that women should not allowed in the military at all. Their role from God, he thinks, is to be mothers and nurturers.

We’re at war with Iran because Trump hated our first Black president, who had already negotiated and signed a deal to keep Iran’s ability to build nuclear weapons in check, with monitoring and verification.

Only Trump can do it.

This was a meme that far right Trump supporters used against Hillary in 2016. Now, I'm not telling you what to do, but if I were in the same city as the draft-age son of a draft-dodger who just started a war of choice, I might have some fun. www.documentcloud.org/documents/23...

Schiff: "This was not constitutional, it was not lawful in the absence of a declaration by Congress. The administration should've come to Congress ... you want the American people bought in on an action this substantial that could lead to a major outbreak of war."

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Saturday floated the prospect of impeaching Trump for striking Iran without explicit authorization from Congress.

They lied. They knocked him to the ground chasing unarmed immigrants. These guys are hopped up on power and untouchable. www.foxla.com/news/pico-ri...

"We saw ICE agents on farms, pointing assault rifles at cows, and removing half the workforce,'' said American Business Immigration Coalition President Rebecca Shi, whose coalition represents 1,700 employers and supports increased legal immigration.

Yes. Stephen Miller literally overrode the Secretary of Agriculture on worksite raids. She convinced Trump to back her, he publicly announced a new policy, and Miller got that entire thing overturned in a matter of days and made Trump publicly back his vision instead.

This is absolutely reprehensible.

JD Vance flew into a state where Alex Padilla got more votes than Trump (and Gavin Newsom) and slandered him, using the name of a terrorist.

As I have argued for months: The person calling the shots in this admin was never Musk or Bannon or Susie Wiles. It's always been Shadow President Stephen Miller. Anything Trump says on e.g. immigration is cheap talk; Miller is the decider. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

"Pete Hegseth is not in his position because of competence but because of loyalty." -Congressman Auchincloss In other words he's a dumb ass yes man.

the takeaway from this is that, for all practical purposes, stephen miller is the acting president of the united states. trump is just play-acting as the boss, as he did on the Apprentice. (gift link) www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Federal appeals court blocks Louisiana law requiring the Ten Commandments to be posted in all public school classrooms.

Might be a good time to start seizing their frozen assets and sending them to Ukraine. apnews.com/article/russ...

There is ZERO strategy at play involving anything Trump might do, including bombing Iran. Trump is an imbecilic self-absorbed narcissist whose only concern is himself. To think the sociopath gives a fuck about America, Israel, or the people of Iran is laughable. 😳👇

Here's Jen's full interview with Warren Strobel: youtu.be/9e5Rx_gGiDM?...

UPDATE: The judge orders Mahmoud Khalil's release by 6:30pm CT subject to these conditions: 1) he surrenders his passport(s) and govt issues a copy of it + his green card 2) his travel is restricted to NY, MI, NJ, LA, and DC 3) he attends all court hearings 4) he provides current address to DHS

Remember that time Elon said Donold is in the Epstein files on main? It was two weeks ago but it feels like two years. That’s intentional.

JUST IN: Judge Boasberg says there's nothing the courts can do about already-deleted Signal messages but he orders Acting Archivist Rubio to refer yet-to-be-deleted Signal chains to Attorney General Bondi for potential action to guarantee preservation. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

Quid pro quo government

Evil, petulant, dumb, and unfair to millions of people who paid into the system and deserve much better. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

NEW: Data shows that as of June 15, fully 30% of all people arrested by ICE and sent to detention had NO CRIMINAL RECORD. 11,763 people in detention as of last Sunday had no criminal record and were arrested inside the country by ICE -- an increase of 4,000 people in two weeks!

😭

Tucked into Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful” spending bill—which passed in the House last month, and promises major cuts to Medicaid—is a provision to spend $46.5 billion in taxpayer dollars on building his long-promised wall along the US-Mexico border.

This holiday really infuriates the right, and Trump would hate the very idea even if it wasn't something that became official under Biden.

Happy Juneteenth

Time for a General Strike! “Two Week” Trump is trying to get rid of holidays for working class people. He’s cost the US economy trillions of dollars in losses in the last 6 months and financially ruined millions of hardworking families. #3E #generalstrike

Guy who has golfed 33 days this year thinks Americans need to work more.

In Pasadena, CA, a Trump regime ICE thug drew a lethal weapon on an unarmed U.S. citizen for photographing his license plate. ICE agents are operating without identification, so citizens are bravely documenting them for accountability and safety. #StopICE #AbolishICE #PoliceState

E. Jean Carroll: This is a man who wears apricot makeup, with his hair twirled around his head like Barbara Stanwyck in Ball of Fire. I was so close—I heard almost every single thing he said. The farting—you wanted to know about that? It was a silent one… sort of.

I love good poetry
