GOEBBELS: “This will always remain one of the best jokes of democracy—that it gave its deadly enemies the means by which it was destroyed.”

MAGA will be remembered as the most embarrassing political phenomenon ever to stain the history of America, just a gutter movement that elevated the worst, dumbest, most vile among us

When people in Washington lower their voices and say, “Please don’t use my name. I’m afraid he’ll come after my family’s livelihood,” it means something has broken. People no longer trust the law to protect them.

The Strait of Hormuz was open before Trump's war, so he cannot claim its reopening as a war "victory." Illogical.

Not for nothing: American has $400+ billion worth of repairs needed for bridges here at home.

I don't care who you are—we should ALL be able to agree that detaining babies and kids is WRONG. There's no other way to put it.

ICE is out of control, and every Republican who just voted to cut them ANOTHER blank check is complicit in their inhumane actions. https://t.co/flxnVAzWSY

There has never been a more perfect metaphor.
He didn’t drain the swamp, he literally installed one.

Trump's racism can't erase our history - we must learn from our past to create a better future 👇

A federal judge ordered the Trump regime to reinstall exhibits and signs on topics like slavery and climate change that it had removed from parks and monuments nationwide because they "do not align with its preferred narrative."

U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley in Boston issued a preliminary injunction June 12 at the behest of groups representing park conservationists, historians and scientists, who argued that the Department of the Interior has been engaged in a "sustained campaign to erase history and undermine science."

Removing these signs not only undermines “the integrity of the National Parks; it sets a dangerous precedent of censorship and sanitization,” Kelley said.

Kelley said she was ordering the government to restore the signs within 21 days, "by the 250th anniversary to properly honor the remarkable achievements of the United States."

Julia Roberts: Renee Nicole Goode is not a symbol. She is an American woman, a queer woman who was doing the very best she could do to be good in an unjust world.

And I am honored to celebrate her life and her legacy tonight, because the life she gave is our responsibility to carry.

As always, your regular reminder that despite having every law enforcement agency of the federal government and billions of dollars worth of surveillance tools available to them, the Trump admin has managed to find a grand total of zero (0) "paid agitators."

Trump's Iran "Deal" Is a Giant Bag of Dog Shit.

It's not a deal. It's a memo of understanding in advance of a surrender of the American-led world order.

A strong Times editorial argues Todd Blanche shouldn't be confirmed as AG.

But the Times never mentions Blanche's managing the Epstein coverup, culminating in his meeting Maxwell and rewarding her for silence about Trump.

Our elites are out of touch.

This is truly terrible.
The Lavra is quite isolated from all official buildings, so the Russians can't claim anything but that they wanted to destroy one of Ukraine's finest cathedrals, following Stalin's tradition.

“But even before we have the details, it is clear that Trump has failed to achieve every one of the goals he put forward for this war of choice, and now he is determined to sign, seal, and deliver America’s capitulation as quickly as possible” https://t.co/pCukqG35Gn

1789 Capital, which counts Donald Trump Jr. as a partner, told the FT that its assets under management had jumped from $200 million to $3.5 billion over the past year as the firm has benefited from political connections.

We spent all night at Delaney Hall and I’m grateful to @GovSherrillNJ, @SenatorAndyKim, and our NJ colleagues for continuing the fight this morning.

We will not stop until we get answers for the families and loved ones of those inside.

[Jon “Bowzer” Bauman @JonBowzerBauman]

When they’re out of power we have to listen to Republicans yammering about the national debt ad nauseum, including pretending Social Security is part of it when it’s not.

Donald Trump is now responsible for an astounding 27.7% of the national debt!

Stop electing these liars!

YOU ARE CLEARLY GUILTY AS FUCK WHEN YOUR TRYING TO FORCE THE IRS TO NEVER INVESTIGATE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🤷🙄

YOU DONT HAVE TO BE A GENIUS TO UNDERSTAND THIS 🙄

Turns out Trump only had a two year window to file a lawsuit over his tax return release. That window closed long before Trump made a deal with the DOJ. The people of the United States owe Trump nothing for a payout. Andrew Weissman says this 1.776 billion dollar slush fund is flat out theft and is not part of his official acts. Trump has no immunity for theft. He said anyone involved in putting together this theft is also open to prosecution.
