"What is more, plans and statements of the president and his advisers suggest further cuts are contemplated that increase the likelihood that one or more crises will catch us unawares and that when that happens, we will be much less equipped to handle it than we have been in decades." READ THIS

Trump's Big Ugly Bill is a regressive nightmare, raising incomes for the top 10 percent of earners and slashing them for the poorest people in the country.  It's also opposed by a majority of Americans.  Remember this as Trump constantly tries to shift the public's focus.

German Chancellor Merz: US To Decide Today On Joining Iran Conflict - Decision Depends On Whether Iran Negotiates

NEW: Trump is seriously considering joining the war on Iran and launching a strike against its nuclear facilities, U.S. officials tell Axios.

Every time he posts "Thank you for your attention to this matter!" an angel hangs itself on its own harp strings.

Trump considers strike on Iran ahead of crucial Situation Room meeting www.axios.com/2025/06/17/t...

He’s saying this the same day he launched his Trump Mobile phone company.

Wtf?

Cue Trump now saying something that suggests we’re about to get involved.

"Trump's message is plain. If you commit violence in his cause, he will have your back...America in 2025 is making political murder easier. This is a choice, not fate." My column. www.ft.com/content/e172...

Americans across the political spectrum like Medicaid and think it should get more funding, not less, according to a new poll from health research organization KFF. https://n.pr/3Zyhvfu

Asked on Air Force One about that assessment from Gabbard, that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon, Mr. Trump told reporters: "I don't care what she said. I think they were very close to having them." www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-r...

Trump said yesterday that Putin should be allowed back into the G8. This was Putin’s response.

Imagine if Biden etc etc Republican governor etc etc

President Trump said that he had no plans to call Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota after a man assassinated a state lawmaker there and wounded another over the weekend. "I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him," Trump told reporters.

Powerful ❤️🙏🏼

Wind speed and direction is more consistent than the Trump administration.

This is an absolute betrayal of promises made by Congress to protect the people who protected American soldiers. A betrayal by people who think American greatness is based on half-assed military parades rather than being a credible ally to those that risked their lives for America.

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

Oh. That cancer thing is totally overblown anyway, amirite? 😱

Breaking news: President Donald Trump will leave the G-7 summit a day early to attend to the conflict between Israel and Iran, the White House announced, hours after he declined to join a statement at the meeting calling for de-escalation by both sides.

The American Bar Association sued the Trump administration on Monday over its efforts to punish law firms it does not like, asking the courts to stop the president’s campaign against their profession.

When asked in 2024 if mass deportations would harm Florida's agricultural industry, a farmer-legislator confidently said Trump wouldn't actually engage in an indiscriminate mass deportation program. Even if that did happen, he said, there will always be a supply of H-2A workers. (Pub. Oct. 2024)

🚨 NEWS: Trump has requested that the National Security Council be prepared in the situation room for his return, per Fox

It constantly blows my mind that we have elected someone so gobsmackingly uncomprehending of the gravity and responsibility of his office that he does not grasp how insanely dangerous it is to fire off comments like this on a whim.

The FCC has delayed implementing its multilingual emergency alerts system — making non-English speakers vulnerable during climate disasters.

Yep

He's super mad about this

BREAKING: President Donald Trump directs federal immigration officials to prioritize deportations from Democratic-run cities after large protests erupted in Los Angeles and other major cities against his administration’s immigration policies.

I count 49 news headlines on the NYT mobile app home page right now, not including opinion, sports or cooking. None of them are about the massive protests yesterday.

This is an egregiously shameful tweet from a US senator

Incredible. And the spectacle is all the more jarring to watch go ahead in the context of this morning's political assassination.

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

Carole King, John Cusack, Sean Ono Lennon, Ronnie Wood, Nancy Sinatra and more celebrities are sharing their sorrow on the death of Brian Wilson.

Oh this will sting his brittle ego. I love it.
