Deporting children of military veterans because they were born on an overseas military base. This man has no citizenship now.

GOP-backed cuts to Medicaid, food assistance would hurt their red states, say Democratic governors @jamielucke.bsky.social kentuckylantern.com/2025/06/26/g...

"The bottom line is that health care in this country, already difficult to access for many—especially for women, especially around reproductive health—is about to get even worse." Leah Litman explains why the Supreme Court's Planned Parenthood decision is a moral travesty—not to mention lawless:

Just like a woman in California has a right to an abortion twhile a woman in Missouri does not. That was the entire point of state’s rights. Some state have rights for their citizens and others do not.

Part of the reason that universal injunctions became so prevalent seems to be because Presidents are increasingly making huge legal/policy changes via executive order. Maybe we can get back to Congress actually making the law and the executive merely enforcing it??

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

"The rule of law is not a given in this Nation, nor any other. It is a precept of our democracy that will endure only if those brave enough in every branch fight for its survival. Today, the Court abdicates its vital role in that effort." —Justice Sotomayor

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.

Raskin: "If you can opt out of mandatory classroom readings bc it offends your religious objections, you can do it bc it offends your philosophical beliefs... you're gonna have a lot of cases where ppl say 'Our family doesn't believe in evolution. We don't want our kid in class when it's taught'"

Anyone else having a hard time being happy when the Supreme Court makes the right call for once? It’s like, good, but **gestures broadly**

Bondi just said DHS is helping rid us of criminals from the Sinaloa Cartel, but she failed to mention the asylum she gave to family members of the Sinaloa Cartel. She also said we're ridding the country of MS-13, but failed to mention the asylum she's giving to MS-13 leaders in the Abrego case.

It's worth keeping in mind, insofar as today's #SCOTUS ruling is going to put a lot of pressure on federal district courts to certify nationwide class actions, that part of why nationwide classes have become harder to certify is because of ... the Supreme Court: www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-136-...

In NYC, in the shadow of ICE and the federal courts, people stand up for the #DisappearedinAmerica. Others did the same all over the country. Find their images and spread the word. Not in our names. @bkindivisible.bsky.social

“The director general of the IAEA said the Iranians told his inspectors that they planned to move the material if they thought it was under threat. It was stored in containers small enough, he said, to fit into “‘the trunk of an ordinary car.’” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/u...

He’s talking about these countries like they’re a couple teenagers who got into a fist fight. Nothing to worry about, it’s all done!

This is a lie (as usual). While I disagree with the decision, IT LEAVES THE INJUNCTIONS OF THE BIRTHRIGHT EO IN PLACE, just narrows them to the plaintiffs. And it does not limit nationwide class actions, which will be filed to achieve the identical outcomes. The EO remains unconstitutional.

Look at where we are

I appreciate you, Sir.

If it was not clear before, it is undeniable now: the President, Congress, and Supreme Court no longer support and defend the Constitution.

Wow was that fast--an immigrant advocate group already filed an amended complaint seeking class action relief in its birthright citizenship case in federal court in Maryland

The moral squalor of Trump has brought us back to the basics — especially understanding the importance of checks and balances and separation of powers. Both the Republican-controlled Congress and conservative Supreme Court Seem hellbent on abdicating their duties to a tyrant.

Murphy: "The president seems to be deliberately misleading the public when in fact Iran still has the potential to rush to a bomb in a matter of months."

DESANTIS: “You’ll have an ability for food. You’ll have an ability to consult legal rights - if you have that.” History has seen this darkness before. But this is the first time it has been broadcast live.

So, your constitutional rights are only guaranteed if you sue to make them so? Am I reading this right? When you are afraid for your rights and freedoms every time you hear our highest court has made a ruling, they aren’t doing the job accorded to them. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Meet the transgender attorney from the @aclu_nationwide who continues to take on the Supreme Court! Our hero on the Gay of the Day is Chase Strangio! #lgbtq #pride #pridemonth #trans #history #equality @chasestrangio @lambdalegal

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

Responsible leaders of American institutions must deal with the tyrant in the Oval Office by saying unequivocally “no” and unambiguously refusing to do what he demands. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-not-to-submit-to-a-tyrant

Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.

The number of manifestly psychologically unwell people in the highest levels of this administration should be unsettling to the world.

Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.

You don't "not recall" telling DOJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. You either remember saying it, or you remember that you definitely didn't say it. Emil Bove saying he doesn't recall means he definitely said it, and there's a roomful of people that can testify to it.

Leavitt without a trace of irony: "When you have a totalitarian regime, you have to save face. I think any common sense, open-minded person knows the truth about the precision strikes on Saturday night. They were wildly successful."

Yet another outrageous and unconscionable decision from six right wing justices. Many women, especially poor ones, will suffer as a consequence for the justices, no doubt it was about abortion. But it’s not. It’s about fundamental women’s health. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/u...

Another day testing the limits of resilience. The Alexandria NSF building was designed for the NSF merit review process (gold standard), complete with a floor devoted to panels. Now we aren’t allowed to have in person panels. The loss of US science leadership will haunt this country for decades.

If even a fraction of what this letter says is true, Emil Bove should be prosecuted for criminal contempt and disbarred. In no way should he be confirmed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

This is my shocked face🙄

Strip Criminality enabler of his salary & Healthcare his Constituents will RAISE HELL SHIT ABOUT HEALTHCARE BEING RIPPED AWAY!

I'm in person at House Appropriations Committee's markup of the FY 26 Legislative branch appropriations bill. The legislation makes a 50% cut to Congress's watchdog, the GAO, as well as prevents it from fulfilling statutory duties on impoundment. It also cuts the Library by 10%. It's gonna be lit

He is perhaps the most dangerous of everyone in this death cult.

Just moments ago, the conservative majority of SCOTUS handed down a ruling that would allow states to cut off Medicaid for reproductive care, while Congress is *actively* trying to pass a national ACA abortion ban in reconciliation. This fight is now!

Your history lesson for today.

@timmiller.bsky.social: “The fact that you have to have a Secretary of Defense go out on TV and berate the media like they’re children and do all this puffery about the president. To me, it shows a lot of insecurity and just a lack of seriousness in the Pentagon.”

Oh

Certainly close enough to the real truth!
