Live from Trump's "brain"

Yep. No excuse for lines in California. Many vote centers and drop boxes available. Dropped mine in a drop box at the library and picked up a new book to read.

Trump’s weakness after his defeat in the Iran War is evident in how the Iranians feel comfortable ramping up their demands. Today an IRGC spokesperson said the US “must admit defeat” and withdraw from the region.

Lemme explain what bilateral trade deficits are, so that you can better understand -- and perhaps be infuriated by -- the intellectual error that's transforming our economy. #TeachEcon

Susan Collins getting chummy with the architect of Trump's Iran war, which is costing taxpayers $1 billion a day while our hospitals shutter and our grocery prices explode.

So much this. So, so much this.

The living Presidents get reel musical about the vote in November…

This. Every day. Plus, currently, republicans control the White House, both chambers of Congress, and the Supreme Court. Why are they complaining about elections?

Absolutely. Abso-fuckin-lutely. You go to prison and you go to prison and you go to prison.

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

If you were an eyewitness or have video/ photos relevant to the 6:50 a.m. fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, use the secure link below to upload your info. The Harris County District Attorney's Office will continue pursuing all investigative avenues in this case.

It’s worth mentioning in every news story that this deal is substantially worse for the US, and far more lucrative for Iran, than the Obama nuclear deal Trump blew up almost a decade ago.

❤️ Happy Obama Day — June 14th ❤️ “Some days celebrate power. Today, let’s celebrate hope, decency, empathy, and the belief that America is strongest when we lift each other up.” 🇺🇸 Thanks, Obama. 🇺🇸

Please god let this close the portal to Hell the Cubs opened in 2016

I had the good fortune to make a preview visit to the Obama Presidential Center today. I can’t share photos, but I thought I would share some impressions. Disclosure: I’ve lived near the center for decades, I worked with Michelle Obama before Barack became president, and I’m an architecture buff. 1/

It is hard to capture what a sweeping strategic defeat the war in Iran has been for the United States. I’m going to thread here some of the posts today that try to capture those effects. Here’s the first:

Well, we could if we weren’t spending $400m on a ballroom, billions a day on a war of choice, and $75b+ on immigration cruelty, among other waste, fraud, and abuse. Not funding daycare, Medicare, and Medicaid is your choice.

uh, Daily Mail has an absolutely wild story about Kristi Noem's husband that he essentially confirmed to them in a phone call www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Good afternoon. Speaker Johnson was sent a bill to fund TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA that passed the Senate 100-0. If he had simply called it for a vote it would passed easily. But he chose chaos. Because that’s what Trump wants. Only Johnson can clean up this mess.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

As a crim def atty I represented a gangster kid. He had to spend time in jail, so I got him Lonesome Dove and told him to keep himself busy. A few weeks later in court he learned his case would be continued again. He was disappointed, but said, “can you at least get me Streets of Laredo?” ❤️

Tapper seems to mean: “I will construe your vote against funding an illegal war as you voting against the troops.”

I hope Iranians across America feel safe here. Our country should be a place where people from anywhere feel safe and that they belong.

A huge shoutout to Elon Musk for alerting not only the American people, but the entire world that the president of the United States is a child-raping pedophile. 🙌🙏👏👏👏👏👏👇

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. I learned a lot.

How much is EVERYONE’s insurance going up because we all have to pay for this poor kid’s treatment? I would hate my parents if they did this to me - unnecessary suffering.

This is the way. You want to move here? Move here. You want to work here? Work here. Just register and get a social security number. Why the citizenship test? Does knowing how many amendments there are to the constitution make one a better citizen?

Wow.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began. Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. https://ow.ly/jy8a50Y8kM3

@padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov No, we do not want reform. Democrats want ICE abolished. Schumer is out of touch and should be replaced as minority leader.

No, no, no. ABOLISH ICE. You can’t reform an agency that is rotten to the core.

TRUMP TODAY: There was an election in Texas? What? TRUMP YESTERDAY:

Hundreds of students from across the Sacramento City Unified School District walked out of their classrooms in solidarity with Minnesota. https://www.kcra.com/article/sacramento-students-plan-walkouts-immigration-policies/70195282 

Huge crowd of high schoolers protesting ICE in Sacramento today. Also at the Moss Federal bldg. Great job kids!!
