As we celebrate Juneteenth, we honor the power and resilience of Black Americans throughout American history.
Today is an opportunity to reflect on the progress we’ve made in the fight for freedom and justice, and a reminder that our work is far from over.

Stop calling Neville Trump’s contemptible DocuSign two-pager a deal.
It’s not a deal. It’s literally just a memo (an MOU).
For that matter, stop calling the memo “bad.”
It’s not merely bad—it’s a surrender, by the United States, to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
It’s a *historic disaster*.

I thing a lot of the frustration over Polis' clemency for Peters was simply this: Colorado saw the insurrectionists who were convicted being pardoned by Trump, but at least we could say, Colorado is different. We hold people accountable.
Polis blew that up. It was insulting to our state pride.

It’s insane to me how MAGA thinks that the rest of the world looks at us now as anything more than maniacs being led by a murderous lunatic and criminal with no judgment or morals.
The people of Iran must be scared out of their minds, hearing Donald Trump say *he* will appoint their new leader, only moments before appointing America's Stupidest Senator, Markwayne Mullins, to run Homeland Security.
