Warren to CNBC's Joe Kernen as he fear-mongers about Mamdani being a socialist: "Where is your outrage over a Republican Party that is saying 'We want to fund every more tax giveaways for billionaires ... while we take healthcare away from everyone else'"

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

I doubt "We were not actually aiming for the No. 1 key component to making a nuclear weapon" is the narrative the White House was looking for.

Breaking: After a classified briefing with Cabinet officials, Sen. Chris Murphy says: "I walk away from that briefing still under the belief that we have not obliterated the programs."   "The president was deliberately misleading the public when he said the program was obliterated."

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

Hey, all. I don't normally get personal, but someone I love was the victim of a horrible scam. If you can help, that would be great! www.gofundme.com/f/rebuilding...

Amid allegations of inhumane and unsanitary conditions in ICE facilities, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is taking further steps to continue skirting congressional oversight. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Democrat Sam Liccardo just exposed how Trump’s top contributors and big banks are getting cases against them dropped. This is a bombshell.

AI is being used to justify firing workers at major tech companies, leaving those that remain to pick up the pieces. AI code is being shoveled into crucial Google products, replacing trainers at TikTok, and worse. This, in tech workers' own words, is how AI is killing jobs in Silicon Valley.

Planned Parenthood provides critical health care, including: Birth control. Cancer screenings. STI testing. PReP. It’s all essential—and extremists would rather deny access to it than protect it.

“The biggest crybaby in the history of American politics now feels ‘like a warrior.’” @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com

In issuing ‘wins’ for Anthropic and Meta in separate copyright cases this week, US federal courts left ample room for future defeats for the AI industry, writes Tech Policy Press fellow Eryk Salvaggio. But for now, any claim that suggests ‘training is fair use’ is too broad a statement, he writes.

"The rush job to pass the big beautiful bill has had its intended outcome: not giving the public time to catch on to the consequences." — @citizencohn.bsky.social in @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-abo...

NEW: Judge Paula Xinis has ordered an emergency conference for today at 1 PM ET to hear arguments over Mr. Abrego's motion to return him to Maryland and prevent DHS from deporting him. Here is the Abrego motion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Yet another U.S. citizen kidnapped in broad daylight by ICE—they refuse to tell her family where she is. She was not protesting in any way—was arrested just seconds after dropped off for work. "The only thing wrong with her this morning is the color of her skin," her mother said.

So my freshman-year college-dorm-entryway-mate Heather Cox Richardson and I had a reunion of sorts on this podcast! We talked about when we young’uns—and how we could never have fathomed the world we live in today, 45 years later. youtu.be/sGsf_StpAPw

WSJ ed board warning Paramount not to pay Trump’s bribe! “The better alternative for Paramount: Win the legal case, vindicate its CBS journalists and 1st Amend & trust FCC has enough integrity to operate as something more than the President’s personal protection racket.” www.wsj.com/opinion/para...

Meanwhile, DOJ actually filed a brief in Maryland on Wednesday — the day after the whistleblower letter — arguing that Judge Xinis shouldn’t sanction the gov’t in Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

'“It is reckless and irresponsible and yet another direct frontal assault on the federal courts of this country,” said retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig, who served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit from 1991 to 2006.' Gift link: wapo.st/4k7iJpu

Difficult to overstate how much blood RFK and Trump will have on their hands in the coming years. Difficult to overstate how many innocent kids will die as a result of the people who cast votes for Trump last November.

Recall: The Posse Comitatus Act is a law that generally prohibits the use of military for domestic law enforcement. Judge Breyer’s previous order dealt w/ whether Trump properly federalized the guard under a different law (s. 12406) Now question is whether certain uses of the troops violates PCA

NEWS: In Newsom v. Trump, Judge Breyer finds that he has jurisdiction to consider a preliminary injunction based on Posse Comitatus Act grounds — and grants California’s request for discovery on that issue.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Everyone is focusing on Bove’s “f*** you” comment but not enough attention being given to the other bombshell in the WB, which is the premeditated violation of the Mass. district court injunction and subsequent cover up, the same injunction which SCOTUS stayed on Monday 1/

A chilling reminder that American science denial does not just affect people in the US, it kills people globally.

Beloit, WI revitalized its waterfront and chose this way to celebrate it: by bringing to life Georges Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."

A lot of tonight should go to @lindseyboylan.bsky.social who selflessly has made a good and righteous fight on behalf of herself and the other women Cuomo not only harassed... but then wasted our taxpayer dollars to legally harass again and again. www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/02/c...

He’s right. Bottom tenth of families are going to lose 6.5% of income on average. Bottom 80% lose money. Only the top 10% gain. See Yale budget lab: budgetlab.yale.edu/research/com... 👇👇👇👇👇👇
