In this stroller, there is now nothing but a bloody pulp. This is all that remains of the baby after today’s Russian shelling of a park in the Kharkiv region. #MadeByPutin #FinancedByTrump

It’s that time of year for my 2010 joke.

Our bills are higher than ever thanks to Trump's policies and Congressional Republican's Tax Law, aka the "Big Ugly Bill," but don't worry, Trump is using our taxpayer dollars for his vanity projects and to prop up fossil fuel companies 👍

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

How many days until the election? Can't seem to find that in my fundraising emails.

With the recent murders by ICE of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston and, just today, a 26-year old Colombian man in Biddeford Maine, it’s important to draw attention to the fact that little has changed in ICE operations since January. substack.com/@jennanorton...

Trump dozes off as Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick says there's no such thing as separation of church and state in the U.S. Constitution

“The dismantling of USAID, according to models from Boston University epidemiologist Brooke Nichols, “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children,” Gawande wrote.” hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-s...

Donald Trump’s DOJ is unwilling to permanently drop its pursuit of a nearly $2 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund – and that’s exactly why Congress must outlaw it. www.cnn.com/2026/06/19/p...

With ICE turbocharged by the GOP’s recent infusion of $70 billion more into their coffers, we all must be prepared for the regime’s secret police to come to our communities. Join our training series to learn how you can organize to respond to ICE surges or new concentration camps in your area.

“A single Tomahawk cruise missile runs about $3.6 million, roughly what it takes to fund one scientist’s multiyear grant. The entire National Science Foundation budget is less than what we spent in the first week of the war with Iran.” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/20/o...

ICE shouldn't be at schools. Period. This is horrific, it's unacceptable. These parents should be immediately released and we must all collectively demand that ICE stay out of schools. www.thebanner.com/education/k-...

Well respected and brave scientists were removed from the American Diabetes Association meeting today simply for distributing copies of a published editorial critical of the administration’s policies. www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo...

This is the editorial that the physicians were sharing at the American Diabetes Association conference To appease the MAGA/MAHA Administration, the ADA called the cops to get the physicians removed These physicians are heroic If you can’t speak out & condemn authoritarianism NOW, then when?

Being an American during the 250th Aniversary of the United States feels a lot like if the terrorists in Die Hard demanded that the hostages continue having their Christmas party.

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.

NEW: Donald just STOLE $1.7B from us to pay insurrectionists. I have some important info about this. Please share widely.

This is Odesa after russia’s attack last night. Once again, their targets are civilians and their homes. We continue supporting Ukraine’s air defenses to help prevent these atrocities. Join us: u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...

The Army is getting desperate for people. I'm an old guy and just got a cold-call text message from a recruiter.

"Instead of pushing a supposed 'reverse Kissinger,' officials across the West, including in the White House, would be far better served with something else: supporting Ukraine, however they can," writes Casey Michel in this op-ed.

TOMORROW: Be a part of history! Show the world that the majority of Americans oppose the most corrupt, inept, criminal, orange "president" in U.S. History. NO KINGS. Also: NO SERIAL LIARS/CONVICTED FELONS/ADJUDICATED RAPISTS & NO ILLEGAL WAR IN IRAN Be there. Make your voices heard! 🇺🇸 ✊ #NO_KINGS

Very interesting stuff here. A new supplemental funding bill, notionally to pay for the Iran War, will be a back door way for the White House to claim Congress retroactively authorized the war itself talkingpointsmemo.com/news/for-tru...

There will always be more enemies until we build a world where freedom is more than fighting them off Freedom is changing the system so the enemy’s theory of victory fails — not in embracing the enemy’s rules of war & conducting ourselves as the bringers of death www.greatpower.us/p/wars-of-in...

Rancid liar our leader is.

The impacts of Trump's attacks on science can be found in every nook and cranny of the discovery pipeline. This chart from @joshuasweitz.bsky.social shows that even with a funding INCREASE in 2026, LESS SCIENCE is being funded. That means fewer cures and treatments. #standupforscience

Elon Musk is profiting from the creation and distribution of deepfake sexual abuse material. This hurts real people. I'm calling on my elected officials to stop using this platform and supporting his depraved actions. #DumpYourToxicX actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

"Kavanaugh doesn’t need rigid legal reasoning. His 62-page wallop is not for you or Congress or the companies that sued the administration or anyone else. It’s for Trump, so that Trump can see just how far Kavanaugh will go in order to ensure that his power swallows that of Congress and the courts."

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care. Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting. He never returned to her that day. 1/2

The current person in charge of ICE's procurement for detention is a GEO Group executive who ran the company's immigration detention portfolio. He was granted an "ethics waiver" from DHS allowing him to hand out contracts to GEO in his new role.

Skydance, parent co of Paramount & CBS, complied in advance. FCC chair, Brendan Carr is flexing so CBS barred Colbert from airing his interview with TX Senate candidate, Rep. James Talarico Therefore, don't share this link of the Colbert interview with @jamestalarico.bsky.social It'll make Carr mad

Democrats have introduced legislation to fund all of DHS except for ICE and CBP while negotiations on reforms continue, but at the moment Republicans think the chaos of the shutdown gives them more leverage. It’s up to us to change that.

When will Republicans, veterans organizations, & retired military officers speak up about this? No president in the history of the Republic has done this. Yet Trump, Vance, & Hegseth do it constantly. It betrays the most important core value of our military-no partisan politics.

We appreciate every ally who speaks up for Ukraine. Sometimes — largely due to russia’s pervasive propaganda — finding the right language can be challenging. Save and share this guide, and keep talking about Ukraine.

A year ago, two dams were opened as propaganda, spilling vital water resources into a void. Now, it seems America is also spilling out into a void, evaporating away for absolutely no reason and nothing at all. But we have a choice: say no to the lie. I say no. www.greatpower.us/p/2026-nonse...

Reminder: Trump and his family have made nearly $4 billion off the presidency. He’s turned the most powerful position in the world into his own personal grift machine.
