Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

Frightening as hell. Thank god for the person who recorded this.

Our 1787 Constitution became law 237 yrs ago today when NH ratified it June 21, 1788, because Article VII made that new Constitution binding in all 13 states once the 9th ratified it, superseding Article XIII of the Articles of Confederation, which had impossibly required unanimity for every change.

Yet another email in my inbox from a well-liked, long-lived American toy company... that is closing down completely. So let's talk about tariffs. Yes, again. They didn't go away. They will cost you more money. And it's killing American jobs, rippling outward from manufacturing to retail. 🧵

Very good news. Similar disgraceful bills were proposed in the Missouri House and Senate this year.

Fantastic thread by @mchangama.bsky.social

Too accurate. 😢

JUST NOW: Tammy Duckworth goes scorched earth on Pete Hegseth: “Let the military get back to their real job. Stop forcing them to DHS job. If you want to be DHS secretary, maybe you can apply for that job when you're fired from this one for incompetence” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

FAC mourns the passing of attorney and former CA assemblyperson William T. Bagley, who died June 9. A government transparency and First Amendment champion, he coauthored the Bagley-Keene Act Open Meeting Act, which applies to state boards, committees, and commissions.

St. Louis. #STL

Mindblowing show in STL last night. #BMFS

In this print/audio interview I discuss how the false miasma “theory” that RFK Jr invokes (in place of the germ theory of disease) is just pseudo-intellectualism he uses to mask his evasion of the value of vaccines www.npr.org/sections/sho...

That is a well-placed distrust.

My god this man is livid. Good for him.

The court has ruled in our favor. The Trump Admin is BLOCKED from deploying the federalized National Guard to patrol Los Angeles streets as our case continues. This is a win for the rule of law. What makes America great is our U.S. Constitution. We will never stop fighting to defend it.

BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders Trump to return control of the National Guard back to California, saying the call-up was illegal. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Worrying (as Trump and the media do) that Israel’s attack on Iran might derail peace talks is like worrying that cancer surgery will foil your chance to get credit for praying the cancer away. Would be comical if not so tragically irrational.

Forcibly removing someone for asking questions at a press conference and then telling bystanders they can't record cops putting them in handcuffs is authoritarian and contrary to everything the First Amendment stands for.

Been joined so far by @booker.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social @pattymurray.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @coons.senate.gov @jeff-merkley.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social @andykimnj.bsky.social and others. This is a defining moment.

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

HAPPENING NOW: A federal judge is set to hold a hearing on Governor Gavin Newsom’s request for a temporary restraining order that would bar the Trump administration’s use of the state national guard amid protests against immigration raids in LA. Hearing starting now before Judge Breyer 🧵⬇️

This is horrific. A US Senator from CA getting manhandled and removed for trying to ask questions of Kristi Noem about Trump’s invasion of his state.

Sen. Chuck Schumer: "I just saw something that sickened my stomach; the manhandling of a United States Senator. We need immediate answers to what the hell went on."

Trump should let local authorities do their job and butt the hell out.
