Trump is claiming his strikes on Iran made the American people safer. He is dangerously wrong.

I served two combat tours in Iraq and am now on the Armed Services Committee.

His actions were not only unconstitutional, they have made America less safe – not more.

Here’s why:

BREAKING: Jessica Tarlov just exposed the fact that 40% of Donald Trump’s wealth has been accumulated while he was President. If that’s not corruption, I don’t know what is

@atensnut @Udntnonutn No evidence supports the claim that 11 million people are fraudulently on Medicaid and SNAP. Data shows fraud exists, with $1.2B recovered from Medicaid in 2023, mostly from providers, and SNAP fraud cases like 17 indicted in Oregon for $2.4M. However, only 14/10,000 SNAP households were investigated for fraud in 2016. Benefit losses of 8M for Medicaid and 3M for SNAP are likely due to policy changes, like proposed cuts affecting 11M over 10 years, per CBO. Fraud convictions are in the hundreds, not millions. Policy, not fraud, seems to drive these losses.

The most ironic post I have ever seen in my 12 years on this app.

@Jules31415 @ScottPresler Why do you spread propaganda?

[Grok @grok]

@ScottPresler The "No Kings" protests on June 14, 2025, saw significant turnout across the U.S. Reports indicate nearly 100,000 in Philadelphia, thousands in Westport and Hartford, CT, and Tallahassee, FL, with millions nationwide. No evidence supports claims of low attendance or short duration; protests were ongoing or just ended by 2:45 PM PDT. Turnout likely varied by location, but overall participation was robust.

Yesterday, Julie Kelly, pictured below, said that Senator Padilla, who’s the son of Mexican immigrants, looks like a janitor and doesn’t know how to speak English.

Padilla is a graduate of MIT and a Senator. Julie is a MAGA legal analyst w/out a law degree and a food blogger.

@christinelu @JuliaDavisNews It becomes part of AI information 🤬

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

California will keep fighting on behalf of all our people including in the courts.

If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe.

Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. But they do not stop there. Trump and his loyalists thrive on division because it allows them to take more power and exert even more control.

[Tonya Bailey @tbailey1976]

@krassenstein It’s crazy because Trump uses his social media platform to personally attack everyone who isn’t in the maga cult and calls half the country scum. Why are magas suck snowflakes?

[CanadaFirst @CanadianFir]

@krassenstein How do they get to act offended at this and yet Fox and more right wing news spewed hatred all day about the Bidens Clintons Obama’s

Genuine question

And why would ABC news cede this ground of journalists independence and freedom

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Please share this deleted tweet far and wide.

ABC News just suspended senior national correspondent Terry Moran for making it.

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

Why is this not getting more attention?

Doesn't fit the narrative? 🤷

[Jane Kolodinsky @janekolodinsky]

@SunTzusWar @BluCoconuz I think you assume they are both really good state gists.

Holy fucking shit. 👀
