When you're losing the plot so badly you start picking fights with Fox News mid-briefing.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) sparked outrage from critics Friday night when he joined Republicans in voting against reining in President Donald Trump's war powers.

We're so fucking cooked.

Trump says he will hit Canada with more punitive tariffs "within the next seven day period."

The bill was just voted down by Republicans. The one bright spot is that every Dem except for Fetterman voted for it.

I wrote about Clarence Thomas's anti-intellectual, anti-trans concurrence in United States v. Skrmetti, and what it says about how far the right has fallen into conspiratorialism

The Supreme Court may have handed President Donald Trump a significant win on Friday, but a new Politico report revealed "signs of hope buried in the fine print.

Just a reminder for all of the MAGA guys that call Trump “daddy” that Pride Month is almost over

“Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent." -Justice Sotomayor #SCOTUS

“Despite the lofty promises of pharmaceutical companies, there’s simply no evidence to suggest that vaccines provide more immunological benefit than punching a few holes in a horseshoe crab’s carapace and slurping its blood directly,” said Kennedy theonion.com/rfk-jr-...

BREAKING: We're filing a new class-action lawsuit to challenge President Trump's lawsuit restricting birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment is clear: Every child born on U.S. soil is a citizen, whether the president likes it or not.

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

I have a piece at The Contrarian @contrariannews.org about yesterday's decision in the Medicaid/Planned Parenthood case - which is about so much more than Planned Parenthood & abortion. It's about Medicaid, yes - but also civil rights more generally. contrarian.substack.com/p/the-suprem...

Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Étoile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.

“We’re the good guys,” I tell myself as a 6-year-old leukemia patient pees his pants in fear. I adjust my black mask and sunglasses in the mirror, making sure to hide my identity. “I am not evil,” I whisper.

Finally some sense at Fox.

Attorneys for the unlawfully deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia are requesting a federal judge send him to Maryland, following statements from Trump administration officials they would deport him to El Salvador upon his release from a Tennessee federal court ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/06/26/r...

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social on the deadline for Fox's apology for defaming him: "They've got a few weeks to do so and we're ready to go if they don't... They seem to want to fight this out and I say bring it on."

The Trump administration's deportations to "third countries" can resume after a Supreme Court ruling. Here's what to know.

Gov. Kelly Ayotte signed New Hampshire’s two budget bills — House Bill 1 and House Bill 2 — into law Friday, approving a $15.9 billion two-year package to fund the state government until July 2027. From @ethandewitt.bsky.social #NHPolitics newhampshirebulletin.com/2025/06/27/a...

A cache of documents that center around the Trump administration’s discussions about its 2017 Iran strategy shows how the administration’s withdrawal from the nuclear deal arguably resulted in last weekend's bombing of three facilities

Reacting to reporting that Justice Sonia Sotomayor took 15 minutes to read a scathing dissent with the court's conservative majority's ruling on birthright citizenship, legal analyst Melissa Murray pointed to a change in courtroom demeanor.

AI-generated videos of fighting between Iran and Israel went viral, and people asked chatbots if they were real. "What we're seeing is AI mediating the experience of warfare," said one researcher.

Once again, Trump's extremist Supreme Court is handing him even more power—enabling him to further infringe on our Constitution. The Fourteenth Amendment is clear: if you're born in America, you are a citizen. Trump is not a king above the law. This fight is far from over.

The Supreme Court term has given the Trump administration a series of major wins in its final blockbuster week of its term. We rounded up the final decisions in one place.

Today’s procedural decision by the Supreme Court is an abdication of the judiciary’s role to protect all Americans when the President violates the Constitution. Importantly, birthright citizenship, which has been a core tenet of our Constitution for more than 150 years, remains.

President Donald Trump attacked the winner of the New York City mayoral primary race on Tuesday, claiming that he is a "communist."

"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:

It’s the weekend! What games will you be playing?

Senator Tillis is literally showing his colleagues a chart of how many North Carolinians will lose health care if the GOP Medicaid cuts pass. His words: “This will be devastating to my state.” They know this will kill people. They just don’t care.

Command and control operations of the United States’ nuclear arsenal relied on floppy disks until 2019. We’re losing the ancient texts.

The Founders feared *exactly* what Trump turned out to be. And yet the purported originalists turn a blind eye.

BREAKING President Trump says he is ending all trade discussions with Canada. (And the tariff will not be paid by Canada, it will be paid for by American companies and consumers)

NEW: Joint statement from the Muslim American Democratic members of Congress Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Andre Carson, and Lateefah Simon:

UPDATE. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u... An administration effectively firing a university president ... this is not normal.

BREAKING: if the Supreme Court wants a class action to hold Trump's birthright citizenship unconstitutional nationwide, we will give them one! We @democracydefendersaction.org just filed with our wonderful partners @aclu.org, NAACP LDF, LULAC & more assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

What happens when it’s family tree presentation day, do a bunch of kids leave the classroom when my daughter presents her family tree? Every time she recaps her weekend? If she wants to read her favorite book (My Moms Love Me) in class?

People are rightly responding to this story with shock and outrage. But it's been a widely known fact for months, and I only wish more people would listen to the civilians in Gaza when they tell us what's happening to them, and what they need, and not assume they're all Hamas or scamming imposters.
