The Pentagon never disclosed that eight US Marines were injured when an Iranian cruise missile hit their vessel in the Strait of Hormuz on September 14, NBC reports. Injuries were eventually added to the casualty record with no announcement ten days later.

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force. Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

Just heartbreaking: across the frontlines, homes are being emptied. Not by choice, but because they have to be. I know this because we lost ours. Our family home, where birthdays were celebrated, meals shared — gone. Russians moved in. I can’t go back. It’s stolen.

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.

This is Nick Begich (R-Alaska). If he votes for the bill, 37,000 of his constituents lose access to their healthcare. 27,000 of his constituents lose access to their food assistance. 578 energy jobs in his district will disappear.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

NEW FROM CBO: brutal distributional analysis of House GOP "Big Beautiful Bill" On avg the bottom 30% of households get poorer under the GOP bill Avg gets little - and are worse off if you include tariffs This'd be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

Is this why we’ve been seeing so many masked, unidentified ICE agents? As of May 29, 2025, ICE has 635 active agreements in 40 states—deputizing local cops to act as ICE. DEMS: Hold hearings. Sanctioned or not, we need answers. ☎️ Call your Senators and Reps now: (202) 224-3121

Joni Ernst is my senator and after her disgusting “We’re all going to die” remark, I decided to email her a letter using @resist.bot. Trust me when I say that I was as diplomatic as I could possibly be given her disgusting attitude. She is truly a horrible person.

I agree.

No man more beneath contempt has lived in America in my lifetime. Donald Trump is across the board the worst human in my country; our inability to educate our population to any decent standard is what led to this monster—and he is, daily and unabashedly, a veritable monster—becoming our dictator.

If Biden's mental fitness is the hill you're dying on while America has concentration camps, you're not really interested in making America better. You're just an opportunist looking for reasons to ignore the current horror story. Tapper is a wh0re.

It's hard to argue against the fact that our current economic and political climate is a direct result of the “Citizens United” decision by SCOTUS in 2010. Politicians are no longer accountable to their constituents. They now work for the largest donors.

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid. Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt. Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.
