How come Mitch McConnell’s staff won’t release a video of him? A photo could have been taken at any time. I call BS. The American people aren’t stupid.

The Lessons I Learned from My Dad I am not the man my father is. I am trying. Some days closer. Some days farther. He never sat me down and explained these lessons. He lived them. I’m still learning them. Show up. The kitchen table. The hospital room. The funeral. The picket line. The call from the son who won’t answer. Show up. Most days that’s the whole job. My whole life I watched him do it. Not for cameras. Not for headlines. Not because there was something in it for him. He showed up because someone needed him. I learned that grief doesn’t make you special. My father buried a wife and daughter. He buried a son. Yet he never treated grief as a claim on other people’s sympathy. Instead, it made him notice theirs. A mother who lost a child. A father sitting beside a hospital bed. A kid scared about what comes next. A son who lost his mother, his sister, his brother. He always noticed. I learned that power is not the point. The people who chase power eventually confuse the office with themselves. My father never did. Whether he was a county councilman, a senator, vice president, or president, he was the same man. The title changed. He didn’t. I learned that family comes first. The train from Wilmington wasn’t symbolism. It was every night. He read to us. Showed up to games. Sat through hospital rooms. Waited up for children who were lost. And when the day came that the country and the family could not both have him at full strength, he chose family. He relinquished the last chapter of how he wanted to be remembered. And he never complained about it. Most of all, I learned that love is not soft. Love is discipline. Love is showing up at one in the morning when nobody is watching. Love is answering the phone. Love is staying. Love is getting back up after life knocks you down and doing it all again tomorrow. That love saved my life. I’ve failed at many of these lessons, sometimes in very public ways. He loved me anyway. That’s the last lesson. I am not trying to become my father. I am trying to carry what he gave me. And if I can do that, even imperfectly, that will be enough. Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you.

@Acyn Huh? On my monitor, I can see just fine the image of the woman that JD Vance is pointing to.

Vance pointing to picture obscured by light: Look at this woman.

Once again, a detainee at the Eloy Detention Center told me about how they're being abused and tortured here. Chlorinated water, worms in fountains, food that looks like vomit, people getting sick, and working for $3/day while getting harassed and threatened by staff. I'll have more to say about my 11th oversight visit to Eloy, but I'm going to keep fighting to drain the $250B that ICE has secured to keep treating people like slaves.

Peter Thiel, the billionaire founder of Palantir, called Pope Leo “a Chinese communist agent” for writing that AI must be used to “truly benefit the common good, and is not just used to accumulate wealth and power in the hands of a few.” Who do you trust? Pope Leo or Mr. Thiel?

Don’t let the story fade. Don’t let the survivors be forgotten. Release the complete Epstein files.

Republicans love to point fingers — but when it came to Trump, Roy Moore, and Matt Gaetz, they defended the indefensible. Don’t pretend your side is somehow above it. Spare me the whataboutism. Call it what it is. The GOP protected their abusers.

Not only did Belgium mock Trump on the field by doing his stupid dance, but they also did it in the locker-room after the World Cup victory.

Jared Kushner & Trump's sons have raised $13 billion from foreign governments, mostly in the Middle East. At the same time, Kushner serves as Special Envoy to the region, negotiating with the very countries with which he's financially conflicted. 📸: @MSNOWNews

Nellis: If Scott Jennings and Thune and everybody else can have a 20 minute phone call with Mitch McConnell, he should be able to shoot a 60 sec proof of life video to show us that he's okay. I think they know the deadline for a special election is August 3rd. If he's not able to do his job, he should resign right now. They should have a special election

This is why Republicans think there is rampant voter fraud; they are the ones doing it.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” George Orwell, 1984

We just hit a harrowing milestone. There are now 1,000 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics that have closed or are on the verge of closing since Republicans gutted Medicaid and the ACA to fund tax cuts the wealthy. Billionaires over patients. With deadly consequences.

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Top journalist Ana Kasparian confirms Texas police use unregulated AI Flock cameras to track women crossing state lines for abortion pills. She reveals the company blatantly lied to city councils. The establishment is building a massive tracking database!

I spoke to McConnell for about 20 minutes this morning. He said we should end the war with Iran, quit giving aid to Israel, stop spying on Americans without a warrant, and he’s really sorry about how my primary turned out.
