Billionaires and corporations have the most to gain from Trump’s big ugly bill. I’m pushing for answers and accountability.

In light of the SCOTUS decision on trans health care, reupping this episode of "Standing Room Only." I spoke with Imara Jones about how the right uses hoaxes and lies to stoke hysteria about LGBTQ people. And this terrible decision is the result. youtu.be/WGEr3F0uP1k?...

Republicans just elected a neocon who's stripping healthcare from 14 million Americans and exploding the deficit by $4 trillion to pay for another war in the middle east.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

ROSEN: Did you discuss Gen Haugh's dismissal w/Laura Loomer? HEGSETH: I don't discuss who I talk about anything with R: Do you believe it's appropriate for social media personalities to influence personnel decisions? H: I believe your time is up R: It's not up to you to tell me when my time's up

Colorado's KNUS-AM played a key role in boosting unsupported claims that the 2020 election was rigged by Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems. KNUS' owner, Salem Radio, is now offering an apology and retraction.

Justice Sotomayor's dissent in Skrmetti (which she's now reading from the bench) is deeply pained, accusing her colleagues of abandoning "transgender children and their families to political whims" and badly damaging "bedrock" principles of equal protection. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

This is genuinely unhinged.

That’s exactly what this is about. Distraction. For all of this and that lame duck, low energy spectacle

A stunningly good post from @faineg.bsky.social: little-flying-robots.ghost.io/a-brief-ode-... Worth your time to read.

Would you look at that.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Thank you to @hcrichardson.bsky.social for pointing out that we make money on our public lands every single year. Why would we sell them when they are a reliable form of income? www.blm.gov/sites/defaul...

(D) Sen. Tim Kaine's resolution on war powers is an important reminder of the constitutional role Congress plays in the declaration of war. This shouldn't be up for discussion, per the Constitution only Congress has the power to declare war. No war!

Let's be clear: this is a red state healthcare executive telling people that rural red states will be gutted. “The further the cuts that are made, the more devastating it is,” said Shantel Krebs, president and CEO of Avera St. Mary’s, a hospital in South Dakota. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

When I tell people it's obvious Trump is trying to create a fascist dictatorship, they grow quiet and uncomfortable. They don't argue with me because they know it's true. Even so, they hate hearing it. Because it makes them feel helpless. But we're not helpless. Get active now, while you can.

With or without Musk, DOGE is still a violation of the Art II Appointments clause. These remaining Muskites have functioned as officers exercising executive power (e.g. directly shutting off payments) w/o Congress creating their offices & w/o lawful appointment: www.propublica.org/article/doge...

The pardons he sold took money from the victims — from their pockets (and ours) right into his.

Very timely warning from @djrothkopf.bsky.social that the "lobotomization" of US government’s national security brain and nervous system leaves America far more exposed and in danger when - not if - the next national security crisis hits, which is now btw. newrepublic.com/article/1968...

Moulton: It turns out the U.S. Army is not great at doing Soviet-style or North Korean-style parades, because that’s not what people sign up to do… Imagine how much veteran housing you could build for $40 million. You could help a lot of vets with that kind of money. And this parade helped nobody.

Listen to the governors.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Border crossings, believe it or not, are rising again. The increase is quite minimal for now and concentrated among Mexicans, but it’s happening.

US Senate Democrats demand Kennedy explain canceling bird flu vaccine contract reut.rs/43WxEfW

so like i know brad lander is a candidate for mayor but maybe the headlines should focus on the fact they arrested the guy CURRENTLY IN CHARGE OF NEW YORK CITY’S FINANCES

Fox is not journalism. It's anti-journalism. The more you watch, the stupider you get.

It’s always fun when the “anti government paranoia” switch gets flipped to the “actually we love our armed agents of the state, don’t we folks” side

This reporter was targeted. He had a huge following, bigger than CNN. They damn well knew it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

So, exactly who is running the show here? Trump made the important point over the weekend that we are losing essential employees, people who've been here 20 years & aren't criminals, & reined in immigration raids. But it sounds like someone countermanded him. Who's in charge? Trump or someone else?

ICE agents don't look like or behave like law enforcement officers. They're geared-up as though they're going into battle while descending on unarmed civilians - like an invading army. No wonder much of the public despises them. ktla.com/news/local-n...

i know we're numb but it seems not great that an executive branch official is on a Russian asset's show spreading conspiracy theories about American elections being rigged

Seems @senmikelee.bsky.social didn’t want to talk about his ugly tweets blaming Dems for the shooting of Dems in Minnesota
