Maddow: "Do we think our servicemen and women are in good hands? Do we think that there is care being taken in terms of what they're risking their lives for?"
This is a war based on lies
Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.
“The Woman Who Knows Too Much”
Amanda Ungaro says Paolo Zampolli abused her, seduced her underage, recruited girls for Epstein, had a hold on Melania (who worked undocumented for years)
He had her deported as they battle for custody. He still works for Trump.
She is willing to testify.
Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
You gotta give to the GOP.
They trained their voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as it is their team doing it.
Keep Walking The Walk,Mayor Mamdani.......
A demonstration at the Dilley Concentration Camp in Texas. Children and families have been imprisoned in the concentration camp in Texas for months, and all they’ve experienced is abuse, neglect, mistreatment, undrinkable water and moldy food. #SHUTDOWNDILLEY

There should be a law passed, and enforced, that we will no longer have for profit prisons of any kind! Ever again! Incentivized incarceration should be a crime against humanity and should be retroactively enforced! They know what they are doing is wrong!
Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:
Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%
Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%
This is what a rigged system looks like.

Excited to attend the ribbon-cutting for the next segment of California’s solar canal initiative later this month in Hickman. Imagine generating solar power over 4,000 miles or so canals across the state. A lot of Sierra and Colorado River water to save via avoided evaporation.
Earlier this week, another global flotilla mission left Spain to deliver food, medicine, and water to Gaza.
We are calling for an end to inhumane blockade to Gaza and to allow these supplies in.
The world is watching. History will remember.
The president and this administration are clearly lying about what's going on over in Iran. We're not getting the truth from them about anything. Whether it comes to the situation overall or how many of our soldiers are injured and/or dead. Nobody should believe a word they say. All they do is lie.
I Completely Support This Petition….
Kevin Warsh wants to lead America’s central bank.
Why does he have more than $100 million in undisclosed assets?
The President is putting our troops in harms way—and is not fit to serve as Commander in Chief. That is why we continue to introduce War Powers Resolutions and will keep fighting to end this war!
Pay attention folks. This is how it's done. Trump sues his own DOJ, run by his private attorney, for $10 billion. Normally that would go through the courts with the DOJ arguing AGAINST giving Trump $10 billion.
Instead, his DOJ will negotiate a settlement OUTSIDE of court. Literally inside dealing.
Former President Barack Obama met with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani for the first time Saturday, joining preschoolers at a child care center for a book reading and singalong.

A large crowd as always at the weekly march in Tbilisi. Georgians have been protesting in 8+ cities every day for the last 507 days.

"There is a nationwide warrant for [ICE agent] Morgan's arrest as he faces two second-degree assault charges" in Minnesota. Good - finally some semblance of accountability for ICE - hopefully more on the way. www.bbc.com/news/article...
The grift never ends. Most corrupt regime in history
Kelty joined the Save the Forest Service movement! 💚
This is a well-documented pattern in medical research and reflects systemic gender bias in pain assessment and treatment.👇
🚨BREAKING: Democrat Analilia Mejía crushes the NJ-11 special election, defeating Republican Joe Hathaway by 69% to 30%.

Big Democratic hold.
Vance f**king up Viktor Orban’s reelection campaign is why Jon Stewart calls him “The Closer”
Joe Biden picks the closest Black guy near him and sees... Obama?
Apple is closing its first unionized store in the country.
Reminder that Apple spent $700B+ on stock buybacks over the past decade.
CEO Tim Cook raked in over $74M in compensation in 2025 — 650 times the median Apple employee's pay.
The greed of union-busters knows no end.
