No way Iran’s nuclear sites have been “completely and totally obliterated.” He’s lying.
I done know if he knows the truth and is deliberately trying to mislead, or doesn’t care about the truth and is just saying what he thinks sounds good.
Damaged, sure. But not completely obliterated. No way.

I do not live in New York, and won't be participating in the mayoral election, but I think this coalition-building sentiment is good and wanted to highlight it:
In national elections, liberals like me ask leftists to be coalition partners — hold their noses and vote for a candidate they don't love to beat someone truly terrible.
In New York, the shoe is on the other foot. And we should be clear that we're willing to do what we ask of our partners.

Prime time for a "Bureaucracy keeps your ass alive, actually" platform
Huge opportunity for a political party that believes government can do good things. Public opinion is finally shifting after 50 years of right wing anti-government propaganda. This isn't the time for cowering and throat clearing www.cnn.com/2025/06/01/p...

Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

I don't want this to get lost: after RFK Jr. finished with his tantrum, he ADMITTED he is blocking BILLIONS in federal child care funding.
That needs to change IMMEDIATELY.

Leavitt: "I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service."

Call it something fancy like "malfeasance" or something simple like "incompetence" but either way there should be articles of impeachment to remove the HHS secretary for being a shameless liar who is working relentlessly to make people sick.

This time 10000 million. Also, normies still don’t really know what is happening. This is as much about press coverage of ALL THE THINGS as anything else. I am hoping he breaks Storm Thurmond’s record, it gets big coverage, and people start to realize he’s talking about real things they care about.
yall we can’t collectively screech that “no one’s doing anything!” and then say “no not like that” when someone actually does something.
is Booker’s filibuster gonna save the world? of course not. but since courage begets courage it could lead to more. I’m fucking cynical as hell but come on.
