Trump cuts leave hurricane-hit North Carolina town’s rebuilding plans adrift – in pictures. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Senator Mike Lee posts prayers when a Republican has an allergic reaction but posts jokes when a Democrat is murdered in their home. He’s going to Hell.

In case you weren’t sure the @SenatorHagerty bill is intended to help Trump with his crypto corruption — it’s called the “GENIUS” ACT… and the house version was the “STABLE” ACT. (18 Senate Dems voted yes)

EXACTLY!

Trump’s cuts to the NIH are stifling our ability to cure diseases and become a healthier nation. He’s cut $1 billion in research funding for Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular health, depression, STIs, and more. We must continue to push back and save these critical projects from the chopping block.

"I don't care what she says." Only the best people, right? "US spies said Iran wasn’t building a nuclear weapon. Trump dismisses that assessment" www.local10.com/news/politic...

“Running the government like a business” is just another way of saying that we should privatize government services afforded to everyone. You know who would love that? Wall Street and big corporations. Don’t buy into the myth. https://youtu.be/hqn1uD_B70U?si=aClsRAYTJHYGXpB4

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

So devastating 💔

We need journalists to be more like @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social on air and in the field.

This should be bigger news.

Weird how the “we’re broke” crowd goes quiet whenever war is on the table But we have to throw 11 million off health care, cut food stamps, etc right?

Important Texas news: last fall, Bolts reported that the sheriff of Fort Worth was flouting a state law that requires independent investigations of deaths in jails. Well, as a result of that reporting, a Texas state agency has now taken charge of assigning who must investigate a death. brief 🧵:

NEW: A ProPublica investigation found that for more than a decade, the FDA gave substandard factories banned from the United States a special pass to keep sending drugs to an unsuspecting public.

Context note: DOJ doesn’t turn over evidence to Congress if they have a viable investigation in the works.

Exclusive FIFA has decided not to show videos or signage which explicitly mention challenging racism or discrimination in US Club World Cup venues FIFA point to statutes - "politically neutral" - when asked if US political climate played part in decision www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

Last year, Kroger's CEO raked in $15.4 million — 457x more than its typical employee. Kroger also announced $7.5 billion in stock buybacks. I don't want to hear that Kroger can't afford to treat its employees fairly. Solidarity to these workers.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

"...initially pushing for broad sales tax relief for everyday Floridians before settling on a package that mostly benefits businesses." Florida budget puts millions in reserves as economic uncertainty brews. www.local10.com/news/florida...

Trump just posted: "Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" So reckless. So dangerous. So irresponsible.

The EPA said: GHG emissions endanger public health. But now Trump's EPA says they're repealing GHG rules for power plants b/c regulating them isn’t necessary or justified. This tension is why lawsuits are being filed - it undercuts the agency’s own scientific determinations. zurl.co/BJ4vY

Millions of people who use the food assistance program SNAP are facing changes: on what food they can buy, how much money they'll receive or even if they'll still qualify for the program.

Health officials in the DC area have issued warnings about a person infected with measles who landed at Dulles International Airport and traveled throughout the area during the past week. dchealth.dc.gov/release/heal...

CNBC: “You’ve been accused of being partisan.” CBO DIRECTOR: “I am a Republican.” Republicans dismiss the CBO saying #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer cuts health care and food the poor… and taxes for the rich — but it is led by one of their own. 🤔

Its amazing how they lie and are never held to account even after it's proven they were lying from the jump.

Trump is now directing ICE to focus on Democratic-led cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York:

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

Happy Father's Day to my dad. I miss you dearly every day. Love you, daddy.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

What a juxtaposition. Via Alex Ward.

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping. None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

They’re arresting 80 year old veterans and their walkers now. You can’t make this shit up. 😡🤬

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

Fascism breeds brownshirtism ... like clockwork. Stay safe out there, and God rest the souls of those poor victims, and deepest condolences to their families.

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

Shameful.

After targeted shooting of two state representatives overnight, Indivisible Twin Cities says #NoKings rally will still go on today: “In the face of this horror, we will mourn and mark our determination for a peaceful, just, democratic future”

If you stand with @padilla.senate.gov, stand with @replamonica.bsky.social. Tell your Reps & Senators how you feel about the charges against her. 202-224-3121 And call the DOJ comment line: 202-353-1555

I honestly think it’s time for some Dems to start dropping f-bombs. On national television. Let’s start acting like the crisis this is

Excited to see that black people performing country music are only eligible for 3/5ths of a Grammy

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“
