Trump’s ICE strategy is simple: Unleash the worst to hurt the vulnerable. He’s not interested in border security; he’s interested in absolute power. By handing badges to sociopaths and letting them run wild, he’s not protecting America; he’s holding it hostage.

Trump: “The way the Corrupt and Failing NY Times is covering stories on a very battered and beat up Iran, through FAKE & MADE UP ‘FACTS’ is, in my opinion, ‘TREASONOUS.’ I will be adding all of their false and ridiculous reporting to my multi Billion Dollar lawsuit against them. They are Criminals!”

You can tell MAGAs don’t actually believe it was today’s GOP who freed enslaved people because if they did believe that, they wouldn’t be trying to cancel Juneteenth. MAGAs refuse to celebrate Juneteenth despite claiming credit for Juneteenth. They lie to themselves and expect us to believe them.

Trump is about to siphon off even more of our tax dollars to drain and repair the Reflecting Pool after the shoddy workmanship from his no bid contract. At what point do we stop calling this incompetence and start calling it malicious intent?

They’re killing the ducks

Ossoff: Because in our time, what those who build ballrooms and monuments to themselves, who rake in billions through foreign princes while the people's savings vanish, along with their hospitals, what they hate the most is when the people try to hold them accountable at the polls.

To all the dads out there – Happy Father’s Day! Nothing we do is more fulfilling!

Cooper: Remember, on Medicaid expansion, Republican Thom Tillis, stood up on the floor and said, “I can’t vote for this one big beautiful bill because I don’t know what I’d tell the people of North Carolina.” He knew that many people were going to lose their health insurance.

Ossoff: The hatred that Mike Collins promotes is a relic of the bad old days. Georgia's spirit of tolerance will overwhelm and defeat bigotry, and our defense of voting rights will be so fierce that no plot against the franchise will foil the will of the people.

Trump lies, ducklings die.

Trump: “Work will begin immediately on fixing the seriously vandalized Reflecting Pool. I just inspected it, and could only say to myself, and those gathered around me, WOW, who would do such a thing? SICK, DERANGED PEOPLE! We will fix it? President DJT”
