@DanielMillerEsq Radical hope is called for in these dark times. We acknowledge our anger, sadness, and fear, but refuse despair, channeling our pain into resistance and working for a better future--even in the face of extreme uncertainty--for ourselves and for the sake of our children.

@kaitlancollins @kpolantz @HBRabinowitz Meanwhile, othe range man who mishandlesd booxes and boxes of classified documents and who tried to hide them from the FBI, and who instigated this attack on Bolton is sitting pretty and apparently unassailable. What a travesty.

Hamawy has won — meaning a doctor who treated the victims of the U.S.-Israeli genocide in Gaza is headed to Congress.

He refused to leave his rotation, even as Israel surrounded the hospital and cut off the water supply, until a new rotation of doctors was allowed in

@Coinvo Perhaps he could have chosen his words more carefully. That's not the win for the US that he thinks it is.

Ectopic pregnancies (i.e., when an embryo implants somewhere other than the uterine lining) are never viable & can be life-threatening.

Despite this, doctors in Arkansas & Oklahoma tried to discharge a patient with an ectopic pregnancy without treatment. https://t.co/t5IsdNOaf9

After receiving a request from Peter Navarro, the Pentagon rushed to approve a deal to lend $620 million to a company linked to Donald Trump Jr.

Now, lawmakers are demanding answers from the White House.

Coming from a former crack and opiate addict: you can't humiliate or beat down Hunter Biden. He's already done that to himself, so don't waste your time. He beat the odds. He can only go up. He's a role model for sobriety.

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

The House voted to end Trump’s reckless, costly, & illegal war with Iran.

The Senate voted to end it.

The American People want to end it.

It is driving up the cost of everything.

This must come to an end. No more endless war!

🚨 Senator Shaheen publicly accused the Trump administration of helping the Kremlin

During a Senate hearing, Shaheen reminded Secretary of State Marco Rubio of his own past statement that Vladimir Putin could never be trusted, and questioned what the administration’s current Russia policy has actually achieved.

According to the senator, administration officials maintain regular contacts with the Kremlin while failing to properly brief Congress on those discussions. She also accused the White House of delaying aid to Ukraine and making decisions that, in her view, allowed Russia to earn billions of additional dollars.

“Since 2024, Russia has increased its drone attacks against Ukraine fivefold. What exactly has this policy achieved?” Shaheen asked.

Mary Trump: “Don’t waste our time running as a Democrat if you are not running on Supreme Court reform. And I don’t mean reform around the edges. I mean you’re gonna add 4-6 seats immediately. You’re going to implement term limits. You’re going to put in an ethics criteria and you’re going to make sure many of these most egregious decisions are undone”

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

RUBIO: The video you just showed me now he was not falling asleep

LIEU: So you're lying again? You're lying to Congress, Secretary Rubio. Here's video from a French news channel mocking Trump for falling asleep at a Memorial Day ceremony.

If you knew someone that pleaded the 5th 97 times in court, had 34 felonies, 91 criminal charges, 28 sexual assault allegations, 6 bankruptcies, 5 draft deferments, 4 indictments, and a fake university and charity shut down for fraud, why the FUCK would you make him PRESIDENT????

From 1966 to 2025 we dropped sterile flies over South America that ate screwworm and thus prevented them from spreading, but the le epic efficient cracked coders at DOGE thought this was a silly waste of the ~0 dollars it cost us.

Fired Secretary Noem spent nearly $200 million on top-of-the-line luxury Gulfstream jets.

Secretary Mullin “assessed” those purchases and decided he likes flying in the Gulfstream, despite the fact that much less expensive options exist.

Today, I asked him if he’d commit to selling the luxury jets and using the money to support underpaid Coast Guard personnel. He said no.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Trump, Musk and Rubio slashed aid and scoffed that it was woke nonsense. Now they're seeing that it not only saved one life every 10 seconds but also protected us from diseases like Ebola. Their actions constituted a security failure as well as a moral one.
More broadly, their fecklessness contrasts with the courage and humanity of doctors and aid workers in Congo and Uganda, lacking adequate PPE but still risking the virus to care for fellow humans.
Trump, Musk and Rubio might learn something from them. https://t.co/kPKj7fqJFZ

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

Hunter Biden has done a better job of exposing Trump family corruption in a few days on social media than some elected Dems have in their entire terms. Even MAGA voters are listening to him.

Something to think about.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

This is the latest Trump corruption to push back on.

He's gotten the attorney general to exempt him from the tax laws that govern everyone else—including other presidents.

Bill and I released 30+ years of tax returns and were audited a few times! https://t.co/6JiiVjIv3F

NEW UPDATE: At least 40 pardoned insurrectionists have faced other criminal charges since January 6, 2021—with 12 offending since Trump’s pardon.

That includes child sex abuse, weapons, reckless driving and rape, underscoring the public safety threat posed by the pardons.
