🇺🇸 Trump at 5:00 PM: "If I order it, the Islamic Republic of Iran will cease to exist within 15 minutes."

🇮🇷 Araghchi at 5:05 PM 🔥: "Iran has existed over 3,000 years. It withstood 47 years of your sanctions, yet you think you can erase us in 15 minutes. Shut your foul mouth."

Pritzker: "Donald Trump is a cheater. He cheats on his wives. He cheats at golf. And now he's trying to cheat the American people out of their votes.” DAMN.

🚨BREAKING: In the Chicago suburbs, an ICE agent assaults a teenager for filming his vehicle, and pointing out that it illegally has no license plate.

In the video, a U.S. citizen is peacefully filming an ICE vehicle, that is sitting in a parking lot. He walks to the back of the SUV to document that it has no license plate.

That’s when the ICE agent jumps out, screaming, “Get away from my vehicle!” while aggressively charging toward the teenager.

The teenager immediately backs away, but the ICE agent keeps walking at him, tries to trip the teenager , and continues yelling… even though neither of them are anywhere near the vehicle anymore.

Filming government officials performing their duties, in public, is protected by the First Amendment. That protection doesn’t disappear just because the official doesn’t like being recorded.

An officer also can’t lawfully use physical force simply because someone is filming them. Using force, to stop someone from recording, is a violation of that person’s constitutional rights.

And let’s not ignore the reason the ICE agent got out of his car in the first place...

Illinois law requires vehicles, driven on public roads, to display valid registration plates. This ICE vehicle is not following that law.

So, if your first instinct, when someone records your conduct, is to assault them… you’re proving exactly why the public is recording in the first place.

Our hero journalist Katie Phang is about to break Trump’s pedophilia case of a 13 years old raped by trump. The judge sided with Katie, demanding Todd Blanche release the remaining FBI files on the trump’s rape allegation by July 2nd. This maybe trump’s worst 4th of July.

Pete Hegseth fired a Navy Vice Admiral to make her disappear, and yesterday the voters of South Carolina handed her a path to a seat in Congress. Her name is Nancy Lacore.

Trump says a box cutter sliced the Lincoln Memorial pool. First 250 feet. Then 290. Then 300. Then 350. He says six thugs did it — a number he also just made up as he went. There’s a 24/7 camera that would’ve caught it instantly. Funny how that footage never shows up. No photos. No video. Just “you’ll see it in court.” If you’re still buying this, you’re not gullible. You’re just as full of it as he is.

Congressman Thomas Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling election fraud? I mean, we won all the damn elections. And we're in charge and what are we doing with it? We're bankrupting the country, we're starting new wars, we're violating the Constitution, we're not cracking down on the fraud.

"The problem is not the elections. We won the damn elections. The problem is we're wasting our opportunity that the voters gave us. And the Republicans are going to pay for that in November. It'll be an absolute shellacking if they don't wake up."

This is absolutely walnuts. Peter Navarro is straight up lying about Dr. Anthony Fauci's key role in mitigating COVID.

They're trying to rewrite history that is barely five years old. We were all there, and we all remember that Fauci was the only adult in the room.

All the disdain for Fauci stemmed from the notion that the pandemic was bad for Trump's re-election chances, and his administration's refusal to mitigate it properly caused immense suffering and avoidable deaths.

They think we're this stupid, and they really are this dangerous. Is ANYONE buying this garbage?

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ossoff: Let's be very clear about what the president is saying to the American people. The president is saying that he will not sign a bill whose purpose is to make housing affordable unless his allies in congress pass a voter suppression bill to rig the election. He is saying, I won't even sign a bill that will give economic relief to Americans unless the rules of this election are changed so that he, Donald Trump, cannot be held accountable for all of his misdeeds because that's what he really fears most of all is that when there is a change in the balance of power, and when we restore checks and balances, he knows that there will be subpoenas flying that officials from his administration will be testifying under oath about the full range of misconduct and corruption that we already know has been happening since the moment he was sworn in.

[🇺🇸 🦅Simple Man 🦅🇺🇸 @Soaringeagle45]

About two hours into my first day on the job, as a Walmart greeter...a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids,
yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance. Per my greeter training manual I said pleasantly, “Good morning and welcome to Wal-Mart.
Nice children you have there. Are they twins?”

The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, “Hell no, they ain’t twins. The oldest one is 9, and the other one is 7. Why the hell would you think they’re twins?
Are you blind, or just stupid?”

So I replied, “I’m neither blind nor stupid, madam. I just couldn’t believe someone slept with you twice.
Have a good day and thank you for
shopping at Wal-Mart.”

My supervisor said I probably wasn’t cut out for this line of work.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

They never found a single Haitian immigrant eating cats and dogs.
They never identified the two pilots who were supposedly shot down and rescued.
They never produced the evidence that the 2020 election was stolen.
And they’re never going to find the Reflecting Pool slasher.

MAGA is a bunch of fucking idiots who will literally believe anything.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

There’s a reason Trump is so angry about his failure in the reflective pool and blaming everyone else…. He knows it does damage to his reputation.

So, let’s keep reminding people. The reflective diarrhea pool is his doing and his alone

Sen. Patty Murray: Every single Republican in the Senate helped enable this horrifying reality. You don't get to act surprised the Supreme Court overturned Roe v.
