Ukraine and Russia have begun the exchange of 1,000 prisoners of war, the largest such swap since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is assisting the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate instances of voter fraud — with a focus on identifying and prosecuting alleged noncitizen voters in every state. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Are we great yet?

SEN. MERKELEY: ".. Anyone who thinks those 220 people .. just really craved to have a digital equivalent of a baseball trading card, well, you’re a little off the mark. They absolutely want to buy influence over U.S. policy.” @sykescharlie.bsky.social charliesykes.substack.com/p/an-orgy-of...

CNBC: The president said he's going to "recommend" a 50% tariff on the EU starting on June 1. Who's he recommending that to? The Senate? REP. FRENCH HILL: I dunno

Eight years ago, if you wanted to line the first family’s pockets, your choices were limited. There was only so much you could spend on hotel rooms or Mar-a-Lago fundraisers. Fortunately for foreign governments, megacorporations, and anyone else with an agenda, the Trumps have diversified.

In short, they decided to railroad the guy, he got a lawyer, they were forced to follow the rules. In that order.

“.. It now costs a record $1 million to join Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida resort, according to people familiar with the membership fees, up from about $500,000 during his first term.” @wsj.com #ProfitsMadeProfitsKept www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

In a widely-expected move, the Trump admin is making yet another effort to terminate the Flores Settlement, which since the 1990s has imposed limitations on the government's treatment of children in immigration detention. They lost every effort to do this in Trump's first term.

A bipartisan coalition, led by U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse & Rep. Zoe Lofgren, has reintroduced the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, which would provide legal status for existing agricultural workers; reform the H-2A program; and implement an online employment eligibility verification system.

God help us🙏

Quite the tale from Toms River, NJ…👀 A church wants to build a homeless shelter on its property. But the local mayor wants to seize the land and turn it into a park and pickleball courts. Tonight, a key vote on whether the shelter project can move forward. gothamist.com/news/homeles...

Striking workers at Pratt & Whitney have lost their health insurance. I condemn this action in the strongest possible terms. This is a huge conglomerate punishing and intimidating workers for exercising their legal rights.

The planet lost a record amount of forests last year, largely because of fires around the world, data shows. Researchers estimated that the world lost the equivalent of 18 soccer fields of forested land every minute.

📌The Cabinet of the United States of America is a collection of the worst, most incompetent morons in history, and we are supposed to just suffer through it as if it was just another cloudy day.

“.. an unprecedented sum in modern politics, particularly for a lame-duck president who is barred by the U.S. Constitution from running again.” @apnews.com apnews.com/live/donald-...

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS allows Trump to fire members of NLRB and MSPB pending full appeal; doesn’t say whether it’s overruling Humphrey’s Executor; and asserts that the Federal Reserve can be distinguished. Three Democratic appointees publicly dissent in a feisty opinion by Justice Kagan, link to come.

Jean Paul Al Arab and his 6-month-old led police on a brief foot chase during a University at Buffalo ceremony. The school said the grad violated rules about who can participate in the commencement.

If this bill becomes law, ICE will become the best-resourced law enforcement agency in the history of the country, with more funding for detention than the entire federal Bureau of Prisons.

NEW: The Supreme Court vacated an appeals court’s order requiring President Donald Trump to reinstate two members of independent federal boards he fired without cause earlier this year. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
