Donald Trump expands his war on truth to Iran The stakes are high, and, no surprise, the President can't stop misleading us—and the world.

Assessments of Trump's mission are now emerging—and they're far from the total success he claims.

"Whatever the impact of the attacks on Iran’s nuclear program, we can’t believe what Trump will say. His deployment of dishonesty and erratic statements is unlikely to make the world a safer place."

Trump shreds the Constitution by bombing Iran The attack on Iranian nuclear sites is a risky gamble. And it was completely by choice.

This campaign is a war of choice. And the administration did not try to sell it to Congress—let alone the American people—before embarking on it.

Democrats should organize a letter with all Govs, statewides, state leg and Congressional leaders to be sent to Trump, Noem et al demanding they stop this masked, police state shit.

It’s so far over the line, totally unnecessary and already been exploited to kill a prominent elected official.

Rest in peace, Gilbert. 💔

YOU CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP: America begged Afghan interpreters to save our troops.

Now ICE is arresting them after asylum hearings like they’re disposable.

This man survived Taliban death squads, only to get fucked over in San Diego. We don’t protect allies—we hunt them.

It was always a crystal clear 100% certainty that if the orange convicted felon was sent back into the White House instead of being sent to prison that he would bring the United States into war, economic collapse and total chaos. This is on everyone who voted for him.

Trump administration to shut down LGBTQ youth suicide hotline The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline will no longer use its LGBTQ youth service line starting July 17. The Trump administration says the move will "focus on serving all help seekers."

Trump will shut down the national LGBTQ youth suicide lifeline in 30 days.

OMG, just spoke with my rep Mark Amodei’s office (Anna Marie) asking about ICE covering their faces, not showing ID, and arresting Americans, including politicians. She literally asked me if I had any source materials, or if was just something I had heard? OMFG. I told her of the New York incident

Who'd have thought Germany was standing up to dictatorship when the United States is failing?

Manhattan Democratic Congressional Reps. Dan Goldman and Jerry Nadler were refused entry to ICE detention areas inside 26 Federal Plaza Wednesday morning, despite rules laid out by Congress allowing members to conduct unannounced visits for oversight purposes.

Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody.

We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza.

Together we are standing up for those with no voice.

Show your working: a challenge to Reform UK Reform UK blames inefficiency for public failures, but real scrutiny starts with data, not Twitter outrage. Here's why...

Reform gained control of some councils last month – cue the DOGE “efficiency auditors.”

But they forget crucial steps and are manufacturing outrage.

This is a meticulous, line-by-line takedown of their theatrics from The Bear.

No noise. No spin. Just forensic finance.

If you’re not outraged, if you’re not in the streets, if you’re not calling your representatives and your senators, you’re NOT PAYING ATTENTION!

If you watch one thing tonight, let it be this.

This is delicious.

Previous US administrations prevented Netenyahu pursuing his lunatic plans. This one has been utterly humiliated by him, having to play catch up with an actor it cannot control or condemn. What we're seeing here is the reality of US decline.

Okay. The world can see this. Why it so hard for 30% of Americans to continue holding out hope a leopard will change it's spots?

Remember, Jimmy Carter put his family-owned peanut farm in a blind trust, before being sworn in, to avoid any suggestion of conflict of interest.

Fifty years later, it's hard to tell apart The White House from The Shopping Channel. ~AA

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list.

I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants.

Inaction is complicity.

Birds of a feather always flock together

Number of years since Grenfell: eight
Number of people facing criminal charges as a result: zero

If the Liverpool driver was an immigrant the media would have encouraged riots, deportation etc. but because he was white we're getting -

"He was just a businessman with 3 kids having a bad day" 🤬

Whoever made this deserves a medal.

These men were building us homes.

The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants.
Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS.
Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.
