if you don’t know the history of Dodger Stadium you can’t fully understand what unfolded today. thanks @chrislhayes.bsky.social for the opportunity to share it.

The Trump Administration is getting more and more bold about arresting their political opponents. This is not the actions of a democracy. ICE is clearly the para-military wing of the Trump government, and they should not be seen as a legitimate part of law enforcement.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

What a horrible, horrible person.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

This was done to a standing US Senator.

I was so happy to spend some time recently talking to the great folks at ATLIS. player.captivate.fm/episode/153c...

This is a French Open final for the ages. My goodness.

This was Biden's big failure. We did our part, the voters, we gave the Dems four full years to close the door on autocracy, they naively thought they could do it by demonstrating how nice it was to have a democracy. Imagine FDR with a similar response to the attack on Pearl Harbor.

When Theo was very little, doctors weren’t sure he could overcome his challenges to engage in a full HS curriculum. Today, he presented his senior capstone at SLA - a 50 page paper that showcased his passion for music and social justice. And thank you to all his classmates who showed up for him.

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

Someone needs to ask Sen. Ernst if she avails herself of the Senate healthcare plan.

In addition to everything else… he is just an odious person. He will never miss a moment to be cruel.

Senior capstones remain such an incredible way for students to showcase their ideas and talents and hard work. So proud of the #ClassOf2025!

If this is even remotely accurate, Elon Musk and Donald Trump have killed more people in several months than the Iraq war killed in a decade

I know it ain't over, and a lot of damage was done, and little is fixed. But if you had told me ahead of Indivisible's "Musk or Us" town halls in February and March that this would be the headline in May, I would have described this as a wild success.

Hey @newskag.bsky.social -- how about them Phillies?

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035.  Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, renowned journalist Scott Pelley just highlighted how Donald Trump is working to stifle free speech in America, and how he plans on fighting back. This is huge.

Exactly. Intellectual theft isn’t a business plan.

The Phillies have the best record in baseball.

Democrats in Congress: Investigate and expose why ICE is allowed to operate in masks and conceal their identities. There is no acceptable scenario where this should be permitted. @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems

The Trump Administration’s attacks on Harvard should chill everyone. He is simply and transparently using the power of the presidency to go after his enemies.

There is no news so terrible that Trump can’t make worse. Leave President Biden alone.

I protested apartheid in college and now Trump is importing it to the US.

Great win for the Philadelphia Union tonight. What a game by Tai Baribo.

Even as a Sixers fan who was raised to hate the Celtics, this just is terrible. Speedy recovery, Jayson. I look forward to clapping the first time you are introduced, post-injury and then booing you the rest of the game.

Jalen Brunson has the greatest “old guy at the Y” game of all time. #NBA

When Trump... -Holds a private dinner for his crypto coin buyers  -Promotes Teslas on the White House driveway on behalf of a multibillionaire who spent $277M backing him -Uses state visits to advance his hotel business It's corruption, plain and simple.

Terrible late goal given up by the Philadelphia Union.
