Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought." h/t @msnbc.com

What I’m currently working on
Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.
Opinion: What we are lacking in the conversation about nation-building projects are facts and critical analyses that look forward not backward. Politicians jumping at simplistic pet project proposals with the public riding along will not serve Canada well in the future.
Science isn’t a belief system. It’s a quality assurance test for your belief system. #rosietheoriginator #fyp #us #usa
looking forward to some parents suing to demand segregated schools because integration violates their religious beliefs
Trump on Kim Jong Un: "If there is a conflict -- I get along with him very very well -- we'll get the conflict solved with North Korea ... somebody is saying there's a potential conflict. I think we'll work it out if there is. It wouldn't involve us. We're very far away from a lot of these places."
this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?
Humans. 🥰
Bondi just said DHS is helping rid us of criminals from the Sinaloa Cartel, but she failed to mention the asylum she gave to family members of the Sinaloa Cartel. She also said we're ridding the country of MS-13, but failed to mention the asylum she's giving to MS-13 leaders in the Abrego case.
Yes there are millions of people who buy in to white Christian nationalism and some have shown how to turn it into very profitable businesses, but at its core is ignorance, racism, fear, insecurity, and perversion of the teachings of Jesus.

"People want to be proud of the ship they're sailing in," Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in announcing the ship named after the gay rights leader would now be called the USNS Oscar V. Peterson.
I genuinely hate being put in a situation where I feel stupid for giving someone grace they ultimately did not deserve but I will always feel better knowing that I tried to do right by folks cause that just means that I did my best and they fucked that up.

“At its core, this bill represents the largest transfer of wealth from working people to the very affluent in our nation's history.” — SEIU Executive Vice President Leslie Frane on the Big Beautiful Betrayal.
The White House is touting tax benefits for tipped workers in the reconciliation bill, but 2 million tipped workers could be among those at risk of losing health coverage because of the #Medicaid and #ACA marketplace cuts in the bill. (1/3) www.nbcwashington.com/news/busines...
Any doubts still what this is all about? It is spelled GENOCIDE.
One of the most elegant pasta dishes that Italian cooks have ever invented is astonishingly simple to make.
Oh we're paying for the toys. We're paying for the lawyers and the court costs when this goes to trial. We're paying for the replacement door and damages. All that's on the Tax Payers dime. Also why do you need Night Vision googles in the morning?
I’m like REALLY they’ve been using their vehicles to ram people at intersections to T-bone them as well as a weapon attempting to mow them down😳😲🫢these guy are lawless thugs😑They shield themselves from the view of the public while 4/5 beat a captive mercilessly like a street THUGS🤬🧐😲🫢😑😢
Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

The ONLY people I want to be deported by ICE, are the folks who openly supported ICE deporting people.
One of the perks of my job, I got to go to a celebration for new immigrants who just got their Canadian citizenship 🥳🇨🇦 They are so grateful to be here, they don't take it for granted. Their strength, hard work, and diversity make our country stronger. And acoustic Tragically Hip songs 🤌🏻chefs kiss 🥰
To all my dear friends on Blue Sky.....

No, Senator. Kentuckians will not “get over it.”
Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.
It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins
It’s easy to pose as officers who doesn’t have to show their faces or badges. No masks for ICE!
UPDATE: 2 more impersonators in Houston alone. (One was shot by a man’s wife) How long are we going to let this madness go on? We should be requiring agents to ID themselves, not legislating to protect masked vigilantes. @MarshaBlackburn
34 young women went missing in Washington DC in 24 hours, and it isn’t making a blip on the MSM. I let you guess why.
Happy 90th birthday Mom!
Newsom: The gloves are off. Let’s go. We’re gonna call out the bullshit. And the propaganda. And the weaponization of lies and disinformation on networks like Fox…
Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.
If so, it is time to start crafting some cool-ass laws. What a time to be a state legislator or an AG in a blue state. The Supreme Court just said you no longer have a boss. It's the last day of school, Democratic state majorities and AGs! Time to abuse some power.
So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?
Married her 10 years ago today with a whole lot of other couples excitedly standing in lines miles long across the country. We were worried as 5pm approached with still a very long line ahead of us but then they came out & announced they would stay open into the night to get all the couples in.
Millions of Washingtonians that rely on Apple Health (Medicaid) won’t “get over it” when the GOP slashes funding and closes our hospitals.
This should go well for him.
Federal vaccine advisers picked by RFK Jr. voted to effectively remove an ingredient from flu shots, achieving a controversial goal of anti-vaccine activists and illustrating how their priorities are becoming official government guidance.

Leavitt without a trace of irony: "When you have a totalitarian regime, you have to save face. I think any common sense, open-minded person knows the truth about the precision strikes on Saturday night. They were wildly successful."
Strange new trend at the office. People putting names on food in the company fridge. Today I had a tuna sandwich named Anthony…
Sierra Matthews lives in a small Missouri town, works in the public school system, raises two young sons, and has no health insurance. She falls below the poverty line. Medicaid isn’t a handout. It’s her lifeline. Take it away, there is no fallback! #MedicaidSavesOurLives
Senator Murphy coming out of private briefing on the attack on Iran’s nuclear sites: It still appears that we have only set back the Iranian nuclear program by a handful of months… the allegations that we have obliterated their program just don’t seem to stand up…
The White House says it’s now limiting how much classified intelligence it shares with Congress, following criticism from lawmakers over the Iran bombing.
Winning elections is just part of winning a better world. Help us deliver #PowerToThePeople by canvassing, phone banking, and data entry for our campaign to transform We Energies into a utility company run for us and not shareholders
He is a charismatic candidate, offering things that people want and need. This is not a mystery, but because New York has ranked choice voting we had a real primary process and the people got to choose their candidate
Phang: Did it ever occur to the Trump administration that the reason more nationwide injunctions have been entered during President Trump’s term is because the shit he’s doing is illegal and unconstitutional?
The movement that just won in NYC is the same movement we’re building here in ATL! These issues aren’t radical — they’re common sense and popular! Let’s go @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social let’s go @socialists.nyc 🌹👊⚡️
Everyone is focusing on Bove’s “f*** you” comment but not enough attention being given to the other bombshell in the WB, which is the premeditated violation of the Mass. district court injunction and subsequent cover up, the same injunction which SCOTUS stayed on Monday 1/

Robert F Kennedy Jr is not a vaccine skeptic. Reporters and editors who’ve decided it’s somehow more fair to call him one instead of the anti-vaccine activist and lawyer he is should stop mischaracterizing him so… in the pursuit of accuracy.
“The soft power suicide of the U.S. will be incomprehensible to future historians who will be dumbfounded in their attempts to explain why the global leader voluntarily wrecked one of its greatest national assets...” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/b...
You don't "not recall" telling DOJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. You either remember saying it, or you remember that you definitely didn't say it. Emil Bove saying he doesn't recall means he definitely said it, and there's a roomful of people that can testify to it.
Oh
The Supreme Court is set to issue opinions tomorrow in some or all of the 10 remaining cases it heard this term, including: ⚖️Birthright Citizenship/Nationwide Injunctions. ⚖️Louisiana Redistricting. I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 to keep you informed. Sign-up now for free. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
Our current President is a traitorous, convicted felon, and a court-adjudicated rapist who lacks the intelligence, character, decency, and cognitive ability to lead. His presence is doing us irreparable harm. We should not normalize him, but normalize stating the truth about him.
Listen, I met with a tiny group from Joplin over zoom last December. They didn’t know what to do after the election, but they knew they had to do something. They invited me down to speak in Joplin a few weeks ago. That tiny group ended up organizing 350 people for the event. Never give up.
I just wanna be crystal clear because I think a lot of people are misunderstanding. The impeachment vote today had nothing to do with yes impeach or no don’t impeach. It was: Yes we table this and discuss it later or No we don’t table this and we discuss it now. 1/2
The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were particularly focused on masked gunmen who violated the civil rights of Black people. We should remember this history when masked law enforcement ofcrs are deployed in our communities. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Congratulations to Zohran Mamdani and our comrades in New York City DSA for their earth-shattering victory tonight. This victory didn’t come out of nowhere. It’s the result of years of organizing, base-building, and believing that socialism can win. (1/2)
Senator Grassley used to be a champion of whistleblowers. But he began today's nomination hearing of Emil Bove by undermining the whistleblower who exposed Bove's disregard for the rule of law at DOJ.
LIVE ON THE FLOOR: Rep. Jasmine Crockett just torched Melania Trump and the “merit-based immigration” lie. Melania got an Einstein visa meant for Nobel winners and Olympic legends—with zero achievements. Crockett: “The math ain’t mathin’.” Because it’s not merit. It’s white privilege.

Let's call it what is really is: ICE Gestapo Deportations are Steven Millers method of Ethnic Cleansing.

Schatz: People are seeing what chaos really looks like. We are on the brink of some very dangerous developments in the Middle East, and we have chaos inside the US—not chaos the federal government can’t control, but chaos the federal government is, in some instances, precipitating or making worse.

This is awesome. Mike Lee is also on camera saying he wants to end Social Security.
This is an incredibly well done, incredibly sad story from @texastribune.org and @sourcenm.com. “How did we get to this place as a country that we think so poorly of migrants?” a volunteer said during a recent search in the desert.
Given how arbitrary and capricious ICE can be even workers who have completely legal and documented status are staying away Can’t say that I blame them
I know bsky makes photos shit quality, but damn that sunset was pretty
Pearl S. Buck, a Nobel laureate and outspoken ally of #TheDoubleV movement, used her platform to challenge racism in America. Her advocacy connected faith, democracy, & civil rights, urging the nation to confront Jim Crow at home while fighting fascism abroad. #USDemocacy
The band playing "Fortunate Son" might have been the best part of the whole parade. In case you don't know the lyrics, here they are. A perfect gift for a flawed man.
Zohran Mamdani, who recently cross-endorsed with Lander, called for the comptroller’s immediate release. “This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice,” said Mamdani.
