This conversation is definitely worth the watch.

Holy shit, Tulsa is paying reparations for the Greenwood massacre. abcnews.go.com/US/105m-repa...

Russell Vought: "Impoundment, which is also a possibility. We are dusting off muscle memory that existed for 200 years before President Nixon in the 1970s and Congress acted to try to take away the president's ability to spend less." (Impoundment is literally illegal.)

we're gone from "90 deals in 90 days" to sending letters to other countries pleading with them to negotiate

The fact that this is barely an exaggeration...

A guy who heads a right-wing group told Congress today that I am a "Democratic 'super-lawyer' whose partisanship is unrivaled." I feel seen...

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

Sydney gets it. 🏳️‍🌈

"The threat from Russia against all of us is real and it is serious," - Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen. "Putin is talking about peace during the day and bombing at night. We see a more aggressive Russia approach in the Baltic Sea region”

Welcome home to Hampton Roads! I’m thankful for the safe return of our amazing sailors after an eight-month deployment and glad they are reunited with their incredible families. www.pilotonline.com/2025/06/01/u...

EVERYTHING IN CRISIS

“Y’all, we did it — Tulsa just created a $105 million reparations plan for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.” (From @thebwstimes.bsky.social )

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

How terrifying. Luke is definitely right on this one. #USDemocracy

Raise your hand if you’re not even a meteorologist and you still know there’s a hurricane season.

The job corps program was a vital program in my community that helped change the lives of lots of young people. It’s unfortunate that it will no longer be there as a resource for these children. #jobcorps

Correct. Spending $45 million on a birthday party for the President, while the administration says we can’t afford Medicaid, shows just how bankrupt their priorities really are.

The seams are ripping. Voters in some states benefit from rigorous legal protections. Voters elsewhere are challenged with burdensome rules. Voting is a constitutionally protected right essential to democratic society. Exercise it. Resist two-tiered democracy. @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

I feel safer already.

If you do well in high school, you're now getting into Illinois' public universities automatically. Seeking a higher education is more affordable and accessible than ever before, thanks to our FY26 balanced budget.

With this awful terror attack in Colorado, Congress needs to ask how many federal resources have been pulled from counterterrorism to deport Hispanics?

SERIOUS QUESTION: What is going on with all these “officers” in tactical gear for a routine traffic stop—with no clear identification? They seem like imposters. And what’s up with that ball cap?

Please listen to the UN General Secretary.

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

COOL!

Similarities between ICE & the Gestapo

The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today’s robber barons use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Does that sound fair to you?

I just took an (unintentional) 3 hour nap … while sitting with my computer on my lap, trying to plow through some work. A reminder that this chaos takes a toll, even if we don’t notice it. And we all need to rest & recharge sometimes.
