The trump White House commenting on a story we are running shortly that it is a “dumb and fake story”, so please read and share it knowing that i, and my @rollingstone.com colleagues, are Dumb and Fake. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

What Eisenhower said over 70 years ago is even more true today.

FINALLY Democrats are putting out HARD-HITTING ads. WATCH AND SHARE: #MAGAKidnappers

Two facts worth considering: 1. The Fed is projecting GDP growth of 1.4% this year 2. Nearly every time growth has slowed to this rate, the economy stalls, and a recession follows

Welcome to "tariff engineering." One company "added small zippered pockets below the waist on women’s shirts, allowing them to be exempted from higher duties .." @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2025/06/18/b...

I agree with almost every word of this, especially the kicker: "Lander sure looked like the kind of guy you’d want in charge at a time like this." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/o...

Know anyone who lost money in a crypto scam? Working on an interesting project and need someone willing to talk about their experience

I'd have to say that I think most of them, at least mentally, already consider themselves having transitioned to "post-human," which is a large part of the problem of dealing with them for the rest of us.

Timothy Snyder's remarks on the importance of coalitions are interesting in light of Saturday's combined protest in Boston.

Hey, just a heads up that I will be coming up live a little later today at 5:40 PM Eastern / 2:40 PM Pacific with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on Substack - See you soon!

Native American tribe steps up to protect #Florida lands for wildlife. Miccosukee Tribe partners with Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation to safeguard lands as part of a "moral obligation" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... via @richlusc.bsky.social

I admire Arlie Hochschild as a scholar, but we really don't need another "They feel disrespected" lecture. Everyone understands. And if I hear one more liberal say "Democrats need to show respect and listen to Trump voters" like it's a revelatory new strategy I'm going to lose my mind. (cont'd)

This MAGA creep is running my old office. I can imagine how the prosecutors there must be disgusted. What people don’t understand is that every immigration case prosecuted means less violent and organized crime and child pornography prosecutions. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

This is truly profound.

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

Lee is volunteering for #TeamLander because she knows I’ll deliver 500,000 new units of housing to help make life more affordable for all New Yorkers. She’s part of the massive turnout operation we’re building with New Yorkers like you. Can you sign up for a shift? landerfornyc.com/volunteer

The point is to create a world in which the authoritarians can simultaneously inhabit a position of victim and abuser, creating an imagined threat of persecution and violence in order to persecute and carry out violence. This is how this always works. We cannot allow this to continue.

The Senior Citizens (avg age 90) who live at 5Star Residence in Yonkers are out in the rain on the sidewalk in front to declare #NoKings! This generation knows what to do when fascism rears its ugly head.

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, we gain solidarity.  As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous — and we weaken Trump and his regime.  Today's protests are about standing up to Trump, but they're also about standing with each other.  Be safe. Be peaceful. Be strong.

Not all SHeros wear capes! Brava to this woman at the Kennedy Center as she reminds the felon & those in the audience exactly who he is. #TrumpIsAConvictedFelon

Happy FOIAFriday the 13th! NEW issue of my newsletter is out. In March, I filed a #FOIA request with the US Institute of Peace just as DOGE was taking over the agency. This week USIP sent me the most incredible response to a #FOIA request I have ever received. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Nothing needs to be said - this is a really bad move and will backfire.

PADILLA: “If this is how the administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, cooks, and day laborers throughout the country.”

Efficient resistance means pushing back against fascism & pressuring it both on the streets as in the court rooms. Scenes from Tucson Arizona where protestors cornered Trump regime ICE troops, sprayed them in self-defence. Protestors kettled ICE & used their own riot control methods. #3E #StopICE

Move to hold the agents who assaulted a sitting senator in contempt of Congress. Call for articles of impeachment against Noem. Stop working on crypto legislation. Demonstrate the stakes of what is happening in LA with your actions.

Folks, @resnikoff.bsky.social is right

Looking forward to being in Birmingham, Alabama this evening!

So true @adamkinzinger.substack.com

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

I waitress while I run for Congress. I know what it’s like to stretch a paycheck, juggle bills, and still show up for your community. Washington needs more people who live like us — not just talk about us. Derrick Van Orden talks the talk. I'll walk the walk.

The Biden Administration was heavily involved in trying to get that legislation through. Trump sabotaged it and was elected for it.

Your energy costs will go up. This is a bad bill for Americans and American families. Thank you mrdrewscott
