A reminder the day after Donald Trump fired James Comey, Trump hosted the Russian Foreign Minister and the Russian Ambassador in the Oval Office and laughed about it.

My letter to Minister Anand re: Israel's genocide in Gaza While the ICJ will make the final determination, it is now apparent that we have watched a genocide unfold, an "unequivocal conclusion" according to B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization.

He's going to immediately be flooded with right wing donations and job offers. Good job on finding this Nazi jamoke a solid entryway into the rightwing grift.

What is the point of doing theses debates? I find them insufferable. Stop platforming Nazis. Stop publishing on apps that platform Nazis.

I'm feeling sad about the big UGLY bill passing. Not just about how it affects me, but millions others & people like you & your loved ones. I gave it my best shot on June 26 in DC & pushed myself beyond my capabilities & physically paid a price for it BUT I would do it all over again. NEVER GIVE UP!

This must end now!
Everyone needs to hit the streets and fight back ✊
It’s only going to get worse 🤬

First votes of the day underway in the House. This is an attendance test - weather in DC cancelled a lot of flights, many members haven't been able to get back to town.

Johnson admits they don't have the votes for the rule on the MAGA murder budget yet. Fox reporting at least 12 GOP nos right now.

She heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another with no name or corroboration.

WARMINGTON: Only in Canada would government alter its national flag to promote wokeness Maybe some inside the federal government needs a lesson on what is a legal Canadian flag and what isn’t.

A Los Angeles man has been arrested in Huntington Park on June 27 after impersonating a federal agent.

He was in possession of a loaded firearm, law enforcement-style documents and other police paraphernalia. His car, which looked like a government vehicle was impounded!

Raw Story: According to Trump the leader of Iran has failed to thank him for putting a damper on a growing war after the U.S. bombed his country.

Does fuck you very much count as an apology?
#ProudBlue #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpIranWar US Strikes Iran

Iran has not build nuclear weapons despite Netanyahu saying it’s on the verge for decades, and it agreed to and abided by the JCPOA.

Carney says Iran wants to wipe out Israel; rhetoric in response to the fact Israel is literally trying to wipe out the Palestinian people (as the West stands by).

Mark Carney was asked whether the US strikes on Iran were a violation of international law. In response, he ignored the substance of the question and listed off a bunch of grievances the West has with Iran.

It’s a shameful and cowardly response from someone who claims to defend international law.

It’s hard to pick the worst leader in the world today because we’re spoiled for choice, but Netanyahu, Trump, Modi, Milei, Orban, bin Salman, and Putin lead the pack.

We’re at a dangerous time in history, which is why leaders like Carney and Starmer should be careful not to align with fascists.

Starmer backs Trump’s Iran bombing saying Tehran cannot develop a nuclear weapon Prime minister backs US president as he bombs Iranian nuclear sites and says key facilities ‘completely and totally obliterated’

The only thing I can say about Keir Starmer is thank God he wasn't PM back in May 1940.
He will go along dutifully with whatever Trump claims.
Canadians would be fools to think this punter would have our back in a showdown with Trump.

Neither Schumer nor Jeffries has posted anything on their social media all day. Schumer hasn't posted anything about Iran at all, Jeffries posted his statement last night.

Like you gotta get on the field fellas.

This is true, about "oppositions" I've seen and lived through:
- Civil rights movement 1960s
- VN war, late 60s + early 70s
- Iraq war, 2002
- Econ/environ injustice, passim.
- Now, Trump autocracy, most recently Iran war.

Stand up. If people pretend they were "always" w you, sign you've won.

Donald didn't have an opportunity to ask Congress for permission to bomb Iran because he was stuck on hold for so long when he called the Kremlin to ask Vladimir Putin for permission to bomb Iran.

It would seem Vance is telling the truth, because apparently no GBU-57s were dropped on the facility Iran uses to store its U-235: www.cnn.com/2025/06/22/p...

Passage from Carl Sagan’s The Demon-Haunted World

Reposting as Sagan is so prescient from 30 years ago.

Donald J. Trump & @realDonaldTrump We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. 6/21/25,

Trump has unilaterally conducted illegal strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and therefore started a war between the United States and Iran on behalf of the Israeli government without authorization by the congress, in opposition to the constitution and congressional war powers.

Israeli troll farms are out in force attempting to justify Trump’s illegal actions in Iran. This is a foreign entity in control of the US armed forces. Unsurprisingly not the only one.

Seven Days in January: How Trump Pushed U.S. and Iran to the Brink of War (Published 2020)

It’s journalistic malpractice not to remind America that Trump also brought us to the brink of catastrophe with Iran in 2020 by assassinating—in a plot he drafted with Netanyahu—the second-most popular Iranian as he was on his way to a PEACE SUMMIT Trump’s Saudi business associates had lured him to.
