Keystone Ka$h

Trump couldn’t understand why “people didn’t understand that Palm Beach in the 90s was a different time.” Wow. Wow. Wow.

CNN: The ratings are in for the first day. 6.26 million viewers on ABC. That was four times Jimmy Kimmel's average. And that's despite the show not even being available in a quarter of all American homes.

It’s amazing the corruption speed run we’re on here this weekend, even for this administration.

Let me just say a simple thing. Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy. If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

No one should have murdered Charlie Kirk. No one should lower their flag for Charlie Kirk. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

Fossil fuel, already propped up by $700 billion subsidy, now using Trump stooges to destroy clean energy competition, WILL raise your electric bills, but it makes BIG money for fossil-fuel billionaires who fund Trumpsters. It’s corruption at work.

They’re rewriting history.

If I was a reporter I'd ask him to identify two other holidays that should not be days off of work when they predictably deny that this has anything to do with the substance of Juneteenth

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

AG Neronha reaffirms support for LGBTQ+ community following Supreme Court Decision: "I want to speak directly to the LGBTQ+ community in this moment and reiterate that I will always fight for your right to live as your true, authentic selves." www.riag.ri.gov/press-releas...

Iran: Weeks away from having nuclear weapons since 1995

So unemployment up. Jobless claims up. Inflation up. GDP down. Dollar plummeting. More wars abroad. Soldiers on the streets at home. By every objective metric, this administration is a disaster.

Senator Mike Lee Slapped With Community Note Over Trump-Backed Land Sale Fact-checkers expose the GOP attempts to sell off public lands meidasnews.com/news/senator...

The day before Kristi Noem's goons premeditated an arrest of Brad Lander, NYC amended its lawsuit against Noem, catching them lying to explain their theft of $80M. I'd say that's just a coinkydink...But Ras Baraka is suing Noem too. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/18/r...

Sotomayor: "The majority subjects a law that plainly discriminates on the basis of sex to mere rational-basis review. By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims. In sadness, I dissent."

Mike Lee Stresses He Would Have Posted Same Thing If Own Family Savagely Murdered

Hard to overstate the degree to which there appears to be literally no one in the president's current circle who has any experience, even at a low level, managing ANY kind of national security crisis or even situation. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/thoug...

Not good enough. He needs to resign or be expelled.

Trump promised “no new wars” during the campaign. That was yet another lie.

USAGM today urgently called back to work the staff of the Voice of America's Farsi language service. All had been on paid admin leave for the past three months with the rest of VOA's silenced journalists.

Watch the full interview with @padilla.senate.gov & subscribe to support independent media: youtu.be/iODfcI8v_KY

@padilla.senate.gov: "We’re a co-equal branch of government, our job is oversight and accountability... If there's an opportunity for me to ask a question in-person at a press conference in my home state, that's me doing my job."

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

They lie about everything

This is insane.

Fucking fascists.

PADILLA: “If this is how the administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, cooks, and day laborers throughout the country.”

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

How many times does shit like this have to happen before we say enough is enough?

Padilla: “We will hold this administration accountable”

Read my statement on the sickening assault of Senator @padilla.senate.gov by the Trump administration.

SCHATZ: "This is the stuff of dictatorships. He identified himself. That should be enough."

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, Caucus Chair @aguilar.house.gov speaks out against the out of control Trump Administration detaining Senator Alex Padilla and preventing him from asking questions on behalf of the people he represents.

Padilla is the Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Immigration Subcommittee! READ THAT AGAIN: The Immigration Subcommittee! He is just doing his job! Trump's regime is full on Nazi Gestapo.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

That’s not what the military is supposed to do. That’s called a military coup.

BESSENT: We inherited this fiscal situation-- BENNET: You inherited it from Donald Trump! He's the first president to come back after a four year hiatus after we know exactly what the last tax cuts did, which was blow a massive hole in our deficits and debt. You can't sit here and lie about that!

Vice President Harris: "This is a shameful and stunning abuse of power."

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs says we’re not being invaded

1. When Trump ran for office, he pledged to "restore free speech." Then, as president, he deployed the military against people protesting his immigration policies. This wasn't an isolated incident It is part of an attack on freedom of speech, targeting anyone who does not share Trump’s ideology

A must read.

Hey corporate media, do your damn jobs. ~ Everyone

1. BREAKING California Governor Gavin Newsom has filed a motion requesting that a restraining order be granted within two hours (from the time of the filing) to block the deployment of National Guard and Marines.

Proving yet again that Trump’s “energy emergency” was a fake, perpetrated to power up his corrupt stoogery for the fossil fuel industry, his big political donors. The energy emergency here is the corruption of energy policy.

Aside from the questionable conclusion of this answer, which is both stupid and dangerous, Mike Johnson was literally a constitutional lawyer before becoming a lawmaker.
