Outrage is growing after a man from Mexico was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Houston, Texas. Officials say the man was shot after he “weaponized his vehicle” and refused to follow commands. Mexico is now considering legal action. @JohnQABC reports. https://t.co/SjYdeOrfwE

The situation with the Kennedy Center has gone off the rails. It has officially reached levels of pettiness I didn’t think were possible, but Trump is once again defying the odds.   

A court ordered his name removed from the building. He lost, fair and square. So, what does he do? He throws a tarp over the sign that says “The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts” and just leaves it there.   

Not for a day, not for a week, but for WEEKS. 

A federal judge is demanding answers, because apparently we live in a country where a sitting president has to be hauled into court to explain why he’s hiding a building from the American public. 

A president with a real legacy doesn’t need to paste his name onto someone else’s. And he definitely doesn’t need to hide a sign because a court told him no. 

A weak man with a bruised ego would. And that’s exactly what’s happening here. 

It’s petty, it’s absurd, and frankly, it’s embarrassing.

Before a July 4th performance of "Party in the USA" Miley Cyrus stood up for equality, healthcare, and more.

"It's not a party in the USA if we don't have equality, unity, justice, compassion, kindness, opportunity, health care, education, non-violence. So f--k yeah, it will be a party in the USA, we'll see it, and if we all fu--ing come together, we'll fu--ing make sure that it is."

"This is Putin-esque type of corruption and self enrichment" -- Chris Christie on Trump and his family enriching themselves:

"He and his family believe they are entitled to this. They believe that the American people gave them license to go and take whatever they can take. This is Putin-esque type of corruption and self enrichment."

Who are the masked cowards who call themselves the “Patriot Front”?

They’re exactly who you think they are.

Four-star General Donahue who resigned after pressure tied to Pete Hegseth’s leadership. This is the respect he was shown as he left his home and his post.

Veteran Cecilia Reed is 58 years old and she has been carrying her son on her back because the system failed them. Darrick Jr. has cerebral palsy and scoliosis. She did everything right and still had to fight for months just to get a working wheelchair lift installed at their home. A mother's love and determination would not be denied. That lift is finally in place and this family can now travel in and out of their home with dignity.

This is disgusting.

You really have to admire Antifa’s artistic skill.

With nothing but box cutters, they somehow managed to perfectly recreate the intricate look of poorly applied paint peeling off concrete that had concentrated peroxide dumped all over it.

Incredible craftsmanship.

.@Timodc: "Being separated from your young child for a night by the government because a cruel, insane person called the police and said you are a monster…is totally unacceptable…It's totally against how things work in a free country and I'm happy Pete spoke out."

these are the people JD Vance told lurid lies about ("eating dogs and cats") to win power by attracting the votes of embittered racists

.@CitizenCohn on the Mullin v. Doe ruling: "Trump has wanted to get rid of the Haitian population in particular…These people are doing really important work…We're going to have a labor shortage of caregivers and the White House has shown zero sign that they care."

How many times, and in how many ways, does Donald Trump need to tell the American people that he doesn’t give a shit about them?

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Gov. @JBPritzker: It's always interesting to see what Donald Trump can and can't find money for. Not enough money for Medicaid, SNAP, or the VA, yet somehow enough money to send ICE into our streets, to build a gilded ballroom, to hire the worst contractor in history to renovate the Reflecting Pool. So many of us have sat in horror in the face of Donald Trump's actions, wondering how are we going to repair this country. It's past time that we invoke the 25th Amendment.

President Obama on punk ass, bitch ass trump: “When he’s in front of me, he doesn’t talk like that because he knows better.”

YOU KNOW THAT'S RIGHT.🔥🔥🔥

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

It was such a joy getting to spend time with Joe and Jill, George and Laura, and Bill and Hillary last week. Barack and I will always be grateful for your constant friendship and support of our family over the years. 

(And George, thanks for the mints!)

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who is glad to see that, unlike CBS bending the knee to trump and ruining shows like 60 Minutes, ABC is telling trump to f*ck off with his attempt to control ALL media.

MORE OF THIS!!!

BREAKING: In a stunning move, France’s leader Emmanuel Macron just announced he will not allow Donald Trump to remove sanctions on Iran until there is satisfactory agreement on ending Iran’s nuclear program. This is how you check Trump’s insanity.
