As America approaches its 250th anniversary, The Federalist remains an indispensable guide to understanding the constitutional system and the nation’s enduring independence You know how important the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were to making the United States. But do you know a

This is bad. At least 9 county prosecutors in pro-Trump areas of Virginia have now openly declared that they won't enforce the assault weapons ban that the Dem state legislature recently passed. It's a MAGA nullification movement. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2114...

We have lost our fucking minds….

Trump has roughly the same control over Israel and the Iran war that he does over his mouth and other bodily functions. Unfortunately they don’t make Depends to handle foreign policy accidents.

😕☹️

Note to Journalists! 📝🚨🗞️📰🎤🎙️ Mary Trump says don’t let up on Trump now! #Pinks

on this day in 1949, George Orwell's 1984 is first published. "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." this is so apt for the GOP and their unwillingness to stand up for the truth and our Constitution.

Very factual information 💯💯💯🎯

Trump is removing devices that track climate change in our oceans. Because they don't work? No, because they work too well and provide inconvenient data! Apparently, climate change is like COVID, if you don't track it, it doesn't exist. Truly, we are living in the most destructive, stupid times.

Good morning and happy Monday to everyone. Many news organizations keep prewritten obituaries, known as ‘advance obituaries,’ of influential figures on hand, ready to publish at a moment’s notice. I imagine 60 Minutes’ is quite flowery.

I know what those treasonous fucks are all about. Many of them were probably at the Capitol on January 6th. They need to be classified as a terrorist organization and shut the hell down.

The US should withdraw from the Middle East, let Israel and Iran have at it, alone. The peace deal can happen after. The main problem, however, is that the US did not draft a real peace deal; they drafted an extortion deal with nearly a billion in kickbacks for Trump and co.

What type of fucked up peace deal even talks about prime real estate in Tehran for private entities (Kushner); and the entry of US approved oil companies (Trump donors)???? Netanyahu is taking the spoon out of Trump's mouth, really.

RIP English poet/Jesuit priest Gerard Manley Hopkins, died this day 1889. “Elected Silence, sing to me And beat upon my whorlèd ear, Pipe me to pastures still and be The music that I care to hear.”

Bibi has been a cataclysmic force for Israel and Jews worldwide. Israel survived hatred by standing as a beacon of democracy and innovation. He has totally shattered that, dragging Israel into endless war, turning it into a pariah, and making its very future uncertain. Worse, he has divided Jews.

BREAKING: DDHQ has called it: Karen Bass and Nithya Raman will advance to the general election for LA Mayor in November. Spencer Pratt is OUT.

Oh, honey . . . the only “weather issues” that affected that interview were the electrical storms in Donald’s head causing him to completely misfire, get pathologically defensive, and rain down a torrent of rude lies and BS.

The jokes write themselves. Unfortunately, he holds the nuclear 🏈.

Yes.

Tick … tick … tick … A cartoon by Mike Luckovich.

“We all should be ‘really, really freaked out.’ Trump’s power grab over the executive branch is intensifying. Yes, Trump is less popular…But it’s almost as if he doesn’t expect elections to matter because he’s going to do everything he can for them not to matter.” www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-per...

Despite all his bs, there was never, ever, ever a possibility that Trump, for a single second, thought when he started this war it would be unresolved on June 7 with the strait closed. The buffoon thought it would be quick and easy now he has no clue how to get out of his mess.

NBC should sue this disgusting, lying maniac for billions of dollars for defamation. Stop playing nice with is vile idiot. Enough.

Thomas Massie says the conspiracy theorists were right about Section 224 of the NDAA, which he says will merge the US military with the IDF. Massie says the provision is treasonous and warns that it will force the US to compromise its own security for Netanyahu's demands.

After watching Trump melt down in narcissistic rage this morning, I’m close to saying that the entire U.S. government needs to be impeached for allowing this poseur to remain in office for even one more day. No nation in history has ever had a more mentally ill leader.

there’s the boy who cried wolf and then there’s the deranged president who’s been saying “we’re close to a deal” for three months

Then if we don't fix the court, it'll all be for naught. I want someone who'll go scorched Earth on SCOTUS, because we will never have nice things with Alito and Thomas making the rules.

That part

Screaming at a reporter won't balance the budget. We see the math: billions for a war in Iran, $1.7 billion in 'reparations' for his golf buddies, and zero answers for the American taxpayer-

We're coming up to 22 hours with no power and the estimate is not until 11 pm tonight. Still most of the western part of the county in the dark and many may not get power until tomorrow night. The neighborhood is noisy with generators and after this we may need to invest in one.

Good god this is a crazy interview. Listen as Scott Pelley describes how Bari Weiss wanted journalists at CBS to cover the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota. This is why we can’t have oligarchs running our news outlets, this is absolutely devastating.

If the president throws a tantrum when he's pressed about his lies about election fraud and walks away from the interview, your response should be to remind your viewers of all the ways in which those lies were dismissed by the courts. Not promise to give him a do over after he's had nap time.

Immigrant voter fraud isn’t a real issue. Trump’s DOJ has just 90 open investigations nationwide out of 160 million voters. This is proof our system works.

Speaking of Bari Weiss, she put a target on the back of the poet and professor Refaat Alareer in Gaza and he was assassinated by the IDF less than two months later. He, his brother, his sister, and four of his nephews were killed in a surgical strike.

The person who has never been hated has never said anything worth hearing.

for reference and comparison: conservatively, the United States spent two-thirds of that figure in the *first week* of the war on Iran. it's genuinely difficult to overstate how many world-historical own goals US politics has accumulated over the past few decades

Uhmm, better, right?

Among the most significant measures to clear the legislature was a bill barring federal immigration detention centers from being built within 1,500 feet of schools, parks, homes, churches and other community spaces — a direct response to the violent clashes that roiled the suburb of Broadview.
