It's time for MAGA Republicans in the House AND the Senate to wake the hell up and move over to the Democratic side right now and get Trump under control.

Donald Trump is insane.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Screenshot of an X post by Senator Tom Cotton saying Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years and that the president was right to act. Below is a Fox News segment with Cotton speaking while footage labeled โ€œU.S. Central Command โ€“ Unclassifiedโ€ shows a strike.

โ€œImminent.โ€ You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

She quit her job to fight for her fatherโ€™s freedomโ€”and for everyone else inside Alligator Alcatraz Inside the weekly vigils that refuse to let Florida's most notorious detention camp and the immigrants detained there be forgotten.

โ€œWhat weโ€™re asking for is something very basic: provide confidential outgoing legal calls in detention, make sure this information is posted to make sure detainees know itโ€™s available, let attorneys come to the facility without scheduled visits. Itโ€™s nothing out of the ordinary.โ€

US strikes on Iran โ€˜outside international law,โ€™ says Macron Macron joins Spanish PM Pedro Sรกnchez in calling the legality of the strikes into question.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ attack on Iran is a violation of international law.

But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

If we vote in a president, we should also be able to vote him out early. This is a time to change old laws that don't fit the new times and corruption.

What's shameful is: Speaker Johnson is not loyal to the constitution of the United States. He should be investigated for falsely swearing his oath of office

Found this site for US mass shootings.

America is more violent than ever.

Violence begets violence

Please ๐Ÿ™ stop, itโ€™s not about mental health. Itโ€™s about a culture where the DoD is now the Department of War, intentionally.

Netanyahu is using Americans, like chumps.

He said this, about you...
Too bad, you let it slide.
And...
It's also too bad, you didn't stop your own monster, before now.

Still, you refuse to do anything.

They world has no sympathy for you. It's crazy for any of you, to even think we should.

I need to remind people. The midterms have never been so important.

Don't let people use scare tactics or make you think it won't happen.

also if voting didn't matter gerrymandering wouldn't exist.

My fave moment of the day, besides watching Peter Welch verbally stuff Kristi Noem into a locker, was when he used air quotes (and he did it twice) when referring to Corey Lewandowski as her โ€œspecial government employeeโ€.

So special.

Jasmine Crockettโ€™s Cryptocurrency History Is Under Scrutiny. Hereโ€™s What Her Record Tells Us. The congresswoman's 2022 victory was bolstered by the financial support of crypto super PACs.

If you're voting in Texas today, I urge you to vote for @jamestalarico.bsky.social in the Senate primary. He would make an incredible Senator.

Jasmine Crockett is a great spokesperson, but she's in the pocket of the crypto industry. We don't need more Senators who are bought by crypto bros.

This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans.

I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess.

The global reproductive rights organization Ipas will be receiving "multi millions" from TED's Audacious Project. This is the first time the project has funded an organization that works specifically in abortion access and care since the initiative was developed in 2018.

I need to stress something here:

The US destroying Iranโ€™s navy is about as impressive as prime Michael Jordan dunking on a toddler.

I know the administration needs something to brag about, but this outcome was literally never in question.
