Not only would this bill kick millions off their health insurance, it would INCREASE the deficit. Republicans' claims to care about saving money are hollow. This bill makes our country worse on every front. www.cbo.gov/system/files...

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card. This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press. www.ajc.com/news/2025/06...

Just finished listening to @nicollewallace.bsky.social and @karaswisher.bsky.social on Wallace's new podcast. Great conversation. Boy I hope Kara makes Bezos an offer he can't refuse.

House Republicans voted to kick 16 MILLION people off their healthcare. Today, Senate Republicans proposed BIGGER CUTS to Medicaid, just to fund bigger tax cuts for giant corporations. Call your senator.

The Atlantic should be ashamed of publishing this nightmare piece from Liz Bruenig, whose callous dismissal of Adriana Smith's dignity is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

A criminal gang has taken over the White House. It's not a group of "conservative politicians." It's a criminal gang run by a convicted felon. It's breaking laws every day. It's kidnapping people. It's soliciting bribes and extorting businesses. This is not a political story – it's a crime story.

Past time to drop the NYT and to vote for Mamdani. NYT tells people to not vote for Mamdani and to instead vote for the 11X credibly accused sexual abuser Cuomo who had to resign from the governorship in disgrace. Legacy media has completely failed us. Rank Mamdani #1. Don’t rank Cuomo.

ICYMI: Some hoped Sen. Grassley's Senate Judiciary Committee would save us from the awful House budget provision stripping federal courts of power. But the Senate counter-version looks like it was written by lawyers who actually knew what they were doing -- and I don't mean that as praise.

Keep an eye out this weekend for outside agitators like the Proud Boys showing up at the No Kings Protests! They will try to incite violence and blame it on the left as they did during the George Floyd protests.

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.

I'm beginning to suspect that a lot of these Senate Dems were lonely children who never had a friend. These Republicans are not your friend. Friends don't keep smiling in your face in private and punching you in the face (metaphorically) in public.

Crucial from immigration advocate Tori Gavito: Trump's stunning admission that deportations are hurting farmers and the economy suggests he's hearing major blowback from businesses who want them to stop. On the pod, Tori is good on why this is such a big moment: newrepublic.com/article/1967...

RESULT: Tuesday's two ballot measures to protect public libraries from the conservative city council in Huntington Beach have both won. The first repeals the recently-created 'book review committee'. The second bars privatization of the public libraries. Context:

Seems worth noting that Noem's story is that "no one knew who" Padilla was. Hmmm. You're in CA with US marines in LA. CA.... I think two senators? You don't know what one of the state's two senators looks like?

🚨 Secretary Noem basically said that her agency is now dedicated to forcible regime change…in American cities and states. There 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 name 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 this

Because Black people know that there is no such thing as “identification” or “identifying yourself”. They aren’t saying Padilla didn’t identify himself as a U.S. Senator. They are saying that there is only one acceptable identity — credential — being white and, in these times, being pro-Trump.

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.
