As Gun Violence Awareness month ends and we begin Jaime's birthday month, we reflect on the past 8 1/2 years. It is so hard to believe that so much time has passed, yet time also feels as if it has stood still. Jaime is forever 14 while her friends have graduated from high school, college, and are now moving on in their adult lives. It remains impossible to explain the impact that gun violence has on everyone in the family affected and how far that impact reaches for all others who knew them or have simply followed along with their stories.
Please think about Jaime a little extra this month. Do something kind in her honor. Be a good person. As we have done the past few years, we will be providing "Blessing Bags" to those who are homeless or simply in need. The bags filled with snacks, drinks, and toiletries will include an inspirational note in hopes to lift someone's spirits, because that is what Jaime would have wanted. She understood that not everyone was as fortunate and she eagerly tried to help. We would love to see your comments and messages of what wonderful things are being done this month to bring hope and joy to others.
Please follow us on social media and check out our website at https://t.co/DYSuairrU7 to learn more about everything we have done to to keep Jaime's legacy alive, and all we continue to do. See less
Daily Presidential Post
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum is right.
When U.S. companies hire undocumented workers, profit from their labor, and then our government criminalizes the workers instead of holding the employers accountable, that is not justice.
That is exploitation.
People come here to work. They build our homes, prepare our food, clean our buildings, care for our families, and keep entire industries running.
If America wants to have an honest conversation about immigration, then we need to stop pretending this is only about “papers.”
It is about labor.
It is about power.
It is about human rights.
It is about a system that benefits from people’s work, then punishes them for being here.
No human being should be detained, abused, or killed because they were trying to survive and provide for their family.
Accountability cannot stop with the worker. It must include the companies, the policies, and the politicians who created this broken system.
We need immigration reform rooted in dignity, due process, worker protections, and human rights.
TWEEPS: This isn't a war of necessity. It's a war of ego and a war of choice. trump couldn't handle Iran not falling for his bullshit, and American families are footing the bill.
I need 1,000 fast RTs using #TrumpsWarOfChoice
Please and thank you! 🙏💪
The so-called "Save America" act has nothing to do with saving America.
It's meant to suppress voting, and trump is desperate to pass it because he's been breaking promises and getting his grift on since he got back in office.
Call it what it is: the Save trump Act.
If this were a project by middle schoolers, I'd say great work, kids, you really did something.
But this was coordinated by adults from the White House, to show not only to American audiences, but to the WORLD.
WOW, another huge embarrassment for trump.
Biden: The reflecting pool reflects something even worse than the narcissism and incompetence at the core of this administration. It’s the corruption. The corruption. The brazen, blatant corruption. Corruption on a scale never seen before in American history in any administration.
Trump has made billions of dollars since returning to the White House. Simply stunning to me.
He has no shame. Frankly, it’s embarrassing for the country. Trump couldn’t care less.
Making money off the presidency is one of the reasons he wants to be president
America 250 was going to be like a World Fair that would have attracted millions of people.
But Trump stole the money, denied permits, & renamed it Freedom 250 so he could make it all about himself & Republicans.
Trump stole America's Birthday from you! 🤬
East Wing: DESTROYED
Front lawn Ellipse: DESTROYED
Reflecting Pool: DESTROYED
The Kennedy Center: DESTROYED
Rose Garden: DESTROYED
America's Economy, Rule of Law, and Global Reputation: ALL DESTROYED.
Everything he touches dies. Every fucking thing!
New statement from Scott Pelley:
“Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.
For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.
At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.”
Trump says that there will be serious consequences if Putin doesn't make peace with Ukraine. Does anyone have suggestions on what those might be? My theory is that he has a photo of Putin in his private office and that he will turn it to face the wall.

Excellent episode: (June 24) I’m hooked on Trump's poor choices for national security staffing have new relevance after Iran bombing on Castbox. Check out this episode! https://t.co/73DzGOKCxr
