Always feverishly opinionated. Women’s rights are human rights. Democrats failed, & continue to fail, to counter the lawless oligarchs’ now pervasive right-wing media. I’ve been disappointed about that for a long time, but carrying on for goodness sake!

Trump administration withholds $15 million in wildfire-prevention grants from Spokane, Washington. The delay stems from a dispute over new USDA rules requiring states to adopt federal immigration and diversity policies, halting funds as the region battles destructive blazes.

Someone remind me the status of the Strait of Hormuz before Trump launched his war on a whim against Iran (a war he definitely won)? www.wsj.com/world/middle...

The US secretly approved a financial and maritime arrangement between Qatar and Iran, under which billions of dollars were paid to Tehran in exchange for free passage for Qatari tankers and ships through the Strait of Hormuz, three diplomatic officials now confirm www.israelhayom.com/2026/06/15/t...

"Trump lost the Iran war and if he’s not held accountable he will start a new war!" The Major's prediction rings true. Democrats will need republican support to prevent the regime from engaging in another doomed 'excursion' that apparently only he alone can both break and fix.

So, with Trump & Iran coming to sort of an agreement, it's Bibi now preventing any peace in our time. #ProudBlue
💥 No ceasefire in Lebanon with Israeli attacks continuing in the south as it insists the MOU between Iran and the US doesn’t apply to them. Multiple villages have been targeted this morning 6/15 @SweeneySteve

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j... Dismay and defiance in Israel as US and Iran move to end war on ‘all fronts’. Awkward for Netanyahu. If he complies with Trump's 'deal' he could well be out of power and face war crimes charges at the Hague. If he doesn't, will feeble Trump still back him?

ProPublica obtained 3,000 pages of emails sent last year by executives asking that their facilities be exempted from Clean Air Act requirements. The White House approved more than 180 requests and is considering more.

📢📢📢 I call bullshit! “The decision made to remove Roots from school libraries is in no way a commentary on the literary or cultural value of the novel, but the result of adherence to state law.” #Racism #ErasingHistory #BookBanning

O. M. G. I thought you were joking and googled him: “Jonathan Roumie is an American actor known for his role as Jesus in The Chosen, a crowd-funded television series about the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. In 2023, he portrayed evangelist Lonnie Frisbee in the film Jesus Revolution.”

My colleagues and I have been forcing votes to stop the war against Iran—and we’re making progress. Today, our War Powers Resolution got 49 votes. My colleagues are hearing more and more from their constituents: end this costly and unnecessary war.
By a vote of 49-50, the #Senate did not agree on the motion to discharge from Foreign Relations Committee, S.J.Res.163, Merkley War Powers Resolution on Iran. GOP Sens. Collins, Murkowski and Paul voted in favor. Dem. Sen. Fetterman voted no Sen. Ricketts did not vote.

NEW: In a 4-3 ruling, the Virginia Supreme Court overturned the results of a special election in which voters approved a new Democratic-led congressional map. It found the legislature violated procedural rules in passing a constitutional amendment to redistrict and placing it on the ballot.
