man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger
I call on media to REFUSE the framing pushed by right wing chaos agents like Cernovitch & Rufo on this act of what appears to be political violence. The Democratic former Speaker of the Minnesota House was assasinated along with/her husband. The killers was hunting Dems. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...
We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.
I gotta turn on the notification for the next eye on cbb podcast now to hear how this was
Shout out to all our “small government” Republican friends
TRUMP: “A lot of people are saying maybe we’d like a dictator.” He’s saying it. Are you listening? 🇺🇸
Good for him!
Ossoff: "There is at some point is going to be a reckoning for all of this. These folks who are working at these private prison companies who are on Kristi Noem's staff right now, they are at some point going to have to testify under oath about what is happening in the facilities they're running."
Q: “What is 6 x 12?” 3 FOX HOSTS: “…..” 😕
John Oliver on ICE’s latest scheme: turning immigration court into a deportation trap. People show up for their hearings, doing things the “right way” — only to get cuffed in the hallway.
Same guy.
Don Bacon: "From my vantage point here in Nebraska, we're seeing a bit of a troubled economic mess. Right now it's a troubled time. In Nebraska the GDP has decreased by 6% over the last year and it's all about trade...so what I hear about weak jobs numbers, we're seeing that in Nebraska right now"
Go, a college student, has a dependent visa (her mother, an Episcopal minister, is here on a religious worker visa), which doesn't expire until Dec. But when she tried to renew it early, ICE nabbed her and sent her halfway across the US to a detention center. www.wthr.com/article/news...
Meanwhile, in Texas…
Anyone attend the #mubb practice yesterday? What were your take aways?
Talerico: They are trying to insulate themselves from the will of the people. Normally, when you pass unpopular policies, you lose seats in the next election. That's how this is supposed to work.
‘1984’ is upon us
“A tax increase on consumers” Not kind of like. Is.
Trump is trying to make Democrats own the handling of the Epstein case. Sen. Klobuchar is not having it. “The president blaming Democrats for this disaster,” said Klobuchar. “Is like that CEO that got caught on camera blaming Coldplay.”
It’s so transparent and desperate
“He’s a terrible Fed chair. I was surprised he was appointed. I was surprised, frankly, that Biden put him in and extended him.” Sure grandpa let's get you to bed. Note: Trump appointed Powell to lead the Federal Reserve during his first term. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-79-can...
REPORTER: Will you commit to include California in any disaster aid package? MIKE JOHNSON: We've not seen the formal disaster relief request from California yet REPORTER: The formal request was sent to your office in February
sound up
Also, it’s worth reminding: Epstein died during the LAST Trump administration. If there was a cover-up … it was done by Trump’s own team!? The two great retcon conspiracy mysteries to me are how we’ve forgotten that Trump was president during the Epstein case AND during Covid.
FUCK!!!!!!!!
Phang: Holy crap. Think about that. Oh—did I just say “holy”? Well, it fits… So, the church keeps its tax-exempt status while actively engaging in politics. Of course, this becomes a way to funnel money and circumvent campaign finance laws. Think about that.
Ossoff: There is no constituency for this. There is no voting bloc in Georgia that's crying out for more expensive health care…
Pam Bondi in February: The Epstein client list is sitting on my desk right now to review. Pam Bondi today: There is no Epstein client list and no "further disclosure" of Epstein-related material "would be appropriate or warranted."
BREAKING: Texas officials are blaming bad weather forecasts for deadly floods. But let’s rewind—Trump gutted the National Weather Service. Slashed funding. Fired experts. Ignored every warning. Now people are dead. THIS is what happens when you let idiots dismantle public safety.
😕🇺🇸
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
BREAKING: The DOJ is now prioritizing efforts to strip naturalized Americans of their citizenship when charged with crimes, per Axios
If there was ever a time to call your Senator, this is it. Voting has begun on the GOP plan to cut off health care for working-class Americans and slash taxes for the wealthiest.
“Alligator Alcatraz” will begin operations on Wednesday. This is your reminder that a prison without due process is a concentration camp.
Warnock: "We are engaged in Robin Hood in reverse ... this is socialism for the rich."
DESANTIS: “You’ll have an ability for food. You’ll have an ability to consult legal rights - if you have that.” History has seen this darkness before. But this is the first time it has been broadcast live.
Tariffs. Stock market down. Medicaid slashed Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans. National guard and marines deployed in LA. No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine Bombing Iran This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.
Trump trusts Israeli intelligence more than US intelligence. Throws Tulsi under the bus. Netanyahu does a unilateral strike on Iran making Trump look weak and befuddled. Trump then does a 180 and does Israel's bidding. Amazing America First agenda.
I can’t fucking believe we’re doing this.
This is legit. Consider sharing far and wide.
Break it, un-break it, take credit for it. Every time.
Yesterday in Pasadena CA, elderly people were randomly scooped up at gunpoint by ICE at a bus stop next to a strip mall where we take our kid to get donuts all the time. All because they looked “illegal.” From ABC7 on Weds June 18th 2025.
AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.
Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.
Donald Trump forcing US troops to sleep on the ground in the scorching heat in Los Angeles, since he made 0 arrangements to house or feed them and only wanted to use them as props for his fascist porn and political manipulation. MAGA will say "I voted for this"🤡
Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)
New details of the administration's budget proposal for fiscal year 2026 came after a federal judge blocked the president's efforts to close the U.S. Education Department.

Kristi Noem Demands Her Own $50 Million Jet For Her ICE Barbie Performance
Republicans last week voted against: ❌ Making child care more affordable ❌ Ensuring paid family and medical leave ❌ Investing in apprenticeship and job training in high-need fields They voted against Wisconsin's working families. Period.
This part
So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.
And there you have it.
Trump on @JeffBezos caving on @amazon showing Trump’s tariffs as a line item because they’re a tax on consumers: “Bezos was great. He solved the problem very quickly. He did the right thing. He’s a good guy.”😕 Welcome to the oligarchy. 🇺🇸
If he cannot carry out his agenda without breaking our laws, violating our Constitution, ignoring the judiciary, alienating our allies and crashing the economy… It’s a criminal agenda.
So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue: ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant. The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge. This is ridiculous.
Reuters: U.S. JUDGE BLOCKS PRESIDENT TRUMP FROM ENDING UNION BARGAINING FOR MANY FEDERAL WORKERS
When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.
👇🏽
Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸
Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"
Isn’t it weird how quiet all those “weaponization of government” yahoos get when Donald Trump personally orders his DOJ to go after people who criticized him?
First came the market manipulation. Now come the bribes.
TL;DR: The new U.S. tariff rate against our two largest trading partners is either 10%, 25% or 35%, and so far no one I've reached out to at the White House is able to tell me which.
Remember SignalGate? (One of Trump's superpowers is being involved in so many scandals all the time that very few of them end up having staying power beyond a news cycle or two.)

Where is our humanity?
The 5 largest single day $DJIA drops and their corresponding President. There seems to be a pattern here but I can’t quite figure it out.
The optics of Trump demolishing the economy and then peacing out for some R&R at a Saudi-funded golf tournament held at a private club he still owns and profits from aren’t great
Tariffs like these raise prices and don't work. But if you skipped class the day we all learned that – here's a refresher:
Imagine that! 💰
There are no tariffs being put on Russia. Hmmm
Not on the list: Russia
The lying and the staggering incompetence around this is astounding. And dangerous.
Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
They've breached the "I don't talk politics with family" containment, my brother just sent me this.
Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of The Atlantic, said he was mistakenly added to a group chat with U.S. national security leaders about imminent military strikes on Yemen.
SecDef Hegseth once said: “Any security professional would be fired on the spot and prosecuted for this kind of reckless conduct.” Today, he’s the one endangering national security. By his own standard, he should be gone.
I’m old enough to remember when Secretary Hegseth tried to publicly mock Judge Reyes—suggesting that she didn’t know what she was doing when it comes to protecting our national security. It was … two days ago.
Accurate, to scale 👇🏽
Casar: You can quickly explain Doge with just two numbers. First: $8 million a day. That’s how much Elon Musk collects in federal government contracts. Second: $65 a day. That’s how much the average senior—someone who has worked their entire life—gets from Social Security.…

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
@minakimes.bsky.social Killing this jeopardy thing
This MF needs to go!! This cannot happen.
SCOOP: Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with President Donald Trump at his Florida compound, sources tell WIRED, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a group setting.
No
Tanking a 10+ year gaining economy in only 6 weeks has to be a record for any President
