Mike

"What's the difference?"

"You grow a moustache and call yourself a Reform candidate?"

Ouch!

Just because Trump is in the Epstein files 1500 times, let’s not forget he also doesn’t know what a magnet is.

Meiselas: MAGA Mike Johnson was being questioned about the shutdown during this disastrous press conference he held. He literally says, “I don’t have any strategy." Then Rep. Lisa McClain jumps in, apparently realizing Mike Johnson had just blown it and she completely unravels on camera.

Got my signs ready. #nokings

As Trump continues ranting about Jimmy Kimmel’s return, I’m reminded that… THEY HAVEN’T RELEASED THE EPSTEIN FILES.

And illegal ICE creator

Meiselas: One of those headlines I had to reread. We’re not allowing the president of Taiwan into the U.S.? Our ally? Trump caved to China’s demand and blocked him. MAGA screamed Dems were weak on China—then did exactly what they fear-mongered about.

Busted

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

Sen. SCHIFF: There are laws that say you can’t use the military for domestic law enforcement. Why?

Constitutional law expert: This goes back to our founding. We did not want our military engaging in domestic law enforcement at the behest of potentially corrupt politicians.

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”.

This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

A cop doing the right thing? I think that i might need my fainting chair!

The "delicate, beautiful, tiny" fascism of Kristi Noem The right thinks Noem is the victim of Sen. Padilla's assault. But what about Rep. McIver?

Kristi Noem is seen as a "delicate, beautiful, tiny woman" while leading DHS, yet Rep. McIver was arrested for protesting it, and Sen. Padilla was tackled for even questioning it.

It's clear who gets to be “delicate, beautiful, and tiny,” and who is seen as a violent threat to law enforcement.

Memorial for George Floyd at the Say Their Names cemetery

George Floyd was murdered by police five years ago today.

The Say Their Names cemetery in Minneapolis features memorials for Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Amadou Diallo, Oscar Grant, Korryn Gaines, Freddie Gray and far too many more Black people who died at the hands of police.

Today marks five years since George Floyd was killed by police. Our June 22, 2020 cover “Say Their Names,” by Kadir Nelson, illustrated how Floyd’s murder embodies the history of violence inflicted upon Black people in America. nyer.cm/UmfefJw
