Lol

Here's a handy list of state legislators to vote out of office if they proceed with this utter betrayal of the voters in Multnomah County and overturn Preschool for All. www.wweek.com/news/schools...

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Zohran Mamdani says he would arrest Netanyahu if he visits New York City — if elected mayor. Stop stop, there’s only so much good news I can take 🫦

Ranking Member on Oversight Rep. Garcia: Jamie Raskin was one of my heroes coming into Congress. And to be able to take on this role as the lead Democrat on this committee—well, we are going to hold Donald Trump and his administration accountable.

OMG: The government in the Abrego case is actually arguing that the crappy, triple hearsay evidence THEY brought shouldn't be considered. AND they say that if he's freed, and ICE detains him, the DoJ will suffer injury. THEN DON'T DETAIN HIM. lol storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Yup. And the media continues to say how good The Dictator is at “marketing.”

This monstrous June 23 decision is even harder to comprehend than disastrous — but still understandable — rulings like the Dobbs decision overruling Roe v. Wade or the decision creating permanent nearly absolute presidential immunity from criminal prosecution www.stevevladeck.com/p/161-the-co...

Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it? But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

Zohran Mamdani is up 8 points with 70% of the vote counted in round 1. The many vs the money The desi vs the dynasty The guy who respects women vs the guy who sexually abuses them We’re watching history in the making.

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

You know you’ve lost when you pretend to negotiate a ceasefire for a war that you instigated and wanted and then pretend to be angry that no one agrees to your fake ceasefire.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

It’s an incomplete picture to just look at trade deficits or prices instead of also standing by hardworking people who drive our economies. We can tackle wealth inequality and build health when we empower farmers to sell locally and cut red tape that makes it harder to compete with the big guys.

In the wake of RFK Jr.’s ACIP shake-up, the medical community is taking matters into its own hands. Dr. Michael Osterholm’s new Vaccine Integrity Project at CIDRAP aims to fill the void with science-based, nonpartisan guidance. #VaccineIntegrity #PublicHealth

👏🏽👏🏻More of this 👇💙

Sharing this gift article because you will hear right-wing lies claiming paying living wages kill jobs or businesses. The research is clear: they don’t. Don’t let propaganda drown out facts. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue #AllTheyDoIsLie www.theatlantic.com/economy/arch...

lol

🧵 1/2 US citizen tackled by ICE in downtown LA—for filming them harassing street vendors. They pinned him face-down, punched him, & then left him seizing on the street. When his family tried to intervene, they were shoved & threatened. The man never touched an ICE thug. Video in 2 parts

💰 WATCH: “How is that happening?” 🤷🏼‍♂️ @aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔

He knew the court would order the planes turned around, and told his DoJ lawyers to tell the court to fuck off. This letter has already shown up in the South Sudan DVD case in a motion filed by the Plaintiffs at SCOTUS today.

At this point in time

VEASEY: You've credited the 12 steps in your recovery. What's step 4? RFK JR: Making a fearless inventory VEASEY: Of ourselves. Do you remember step 12? RFK JR: We try to help other addicts VEASEY: Does cutting off treatment from people still suffering align with step 4 or step 12?

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

How could Sen. Bill Cassidy have known RFK Jr. was lying to him … unless he had read about RFK Jr.’s lifelong history of lying to people?

We do seem pretty goddamn hypocritical and bossy, considering the things we've done during our nation's history.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

Sierra Club’s forest campaign manager, Alex Craven: Trump admin is ignoring the voices of millions of Americans to pursue a corporate giveaway for his billionaire buddies. Stripping our national forests of roadless rule protections will put close to 60m acres of wildlands on the chopping block.

So many experts warned of this. CNN ‪‪@natashabertrand.bsky.social: Pentagon's "Defense Intelligence Agency has assessed that the core components of Iran's nuclear program are largely intact and that Iran's nuclear program has essentially only been set back by months."

I’ve never personally made more than $45K. I’m currently disabled and get about $15K to live. Were it not for family, I would be homeless. And I am a master’s level educated white woman, with all the social privileges that come with it. These people live lives I cannot possibly imagine.

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication? RFK JR: I did not fact check RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

AOC: You are not aware that the Trump Department of Justice is investigating the largest insurance company in America for fraud of Medicare Advantage that you have jurisdiction over?

It’s heartbreaking to watch a nation that once inspired the world now struggles to hold itself together. This isn’t the America we believed in! As a neighbor, it’s painful to watch the fire spread from a home we once admired. The #DefendersOfDemocracy stands with our American brothers and sisters!

LENOIR CITY, TN — pregnant fiancée of an American lost her baby in ICE detention after they denied her prenatal care after pleading for help for days. (@ltgovmcnally & @lowellrussell21’s district) Unimaginable cruelty. @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

Today’s unsigned, unexplained #SCOTUS ruling clearing the way for removals of migrants to third countries without any additional process is a disaster—not just on the merits, but because of the government misbehavior that it not only refuses to punish, but effectively rewards. Me, via “One First”:

Justice Sotomayor said it best: the conservative majority is “rewarding lawlessness.” Migrants are being deported—without notice or due process—to countries they’ve never even set foot in. This is what happens when the Court starts playing politics.

Bove’s confirmation hearing for the 3rd Circuit is on Wednesday. His own former DOJ colleagues say they don’t trust him to be impartial. Watch the video & insist that your senators do too before they vote.

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

Take off those masks, and let us compare the faces to J6 felons who were pardoned. My bet would be on several matches.
