Watch. @davidjolly.bsky.social is a good man.

🚨 Trump’s Bedminster golf club flagged for 18 health violations in latest inspection—earned lowest grade in county (32/100) Among the violations: 🤢 Expired milk 🤢 Raw meat stored above cheese 🤢 A hand-washing station without soap me, for @forbes.com

We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol. Those lists include some 1,400 names. None of the names of the 238 Venezuelan deportees matched those on the lists. W/ @texastribune.org‬ @cazadoresdefakenews.info & Alianza Rebelde Investiga

And: “officials knew that only 32 of the deportees had been convicted of U.S. crimes and that most were nonviolent offenses, such as retail theft or traffic violations.”

The New Republic taped a jailhouse interview with a beloved immigrant whose arrest has given even Trump supporters 2nd thoughts. Listen: newrepublic.com/article/1959...

The DOJ's voting section has shrunk drastically,from an estimated 30 attorneys at the start of the Trump administration to only three, due to resignations or reassignments, according to a group supporting the department’s remaining staff. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

JUST IN: As Trump admin presses emergency bid at #SCOTUS to overturn Judge Susan Illston's order barring RIFs at major federal agencies, plaintiffs seek emergency status conference re State & HUD reorg/RIF plans they say violate her injunction. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Judges are anticipating the contempt provision in the Billionaire Bailout Bill and for the first time, ordering security to preserve the ability to enforce contempt should the bill become law as written. @klasfeldreports.com with the details:

It was never about deporting violent criminals. If that were true, where are the examples? Trump would be shouting the victims’ names from the rooftops. What we’re actually seeing are heartbreaking videos of families torn apart by masked men who look more like white supremacists than ICE agents.

This is horrifying. Avelo Airlines should be ashamed. You can call Avelo customer service at (346) 616-9500.

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

Even Elon Musk couldn’t stomach Trump’s trillion-dollar power grab — now the GOP’s crown jewel is imploding from within. www.adammockler.com/p/the-bill-s...

The fact that Republican extremists want to continue to disenfranchise D.C. voters is simply racist. Make sure your Congresspeople know that you expect them to support statehood for D.C. Speak out for voting rights. Oppose voter suppression!

🚨 URGENT: Call your Members of Congress NOW. Why are ICE agents still operating with total impunity - masking their faces, concealing their identities, and terrorizing communities without oversight? Demand public hearings, sanctioned or unsanctioned. We deserve answers. We deserve accountability.

Leon Skum fucked this country and he and #Tesla needs to be put out of business, don’t buy a Tesla, don’t get in a Tesla driverless car, don’t buy Tesla stock, support other better people and companies, it’s your patriotic duty. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is a reverse-Robin Hood nightmare. It steals from the poor to give to the rich. Here’s a survey of seven terrible tricks up the sleeves of the bill: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Scientists are already eyeing the exits; the hostility to international students could dry up a critical pipeline for a generation; and the balance of intellectual power could shift as other countries rush to fill the vacuum created by Trump’s nihilistic nativism. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Mike Johnson says no one will lose Medicaid "unless they choose to." Russ Vought says these cuts are “commonsense.” The nonpartisan CBO says: 7.6 million people will lose coverage. You can’t spin that away. Real people will suffer — and they know it. #MedicaidMatters

“As many as 2.7 million households would lose food benefits, with the average blow to the family grocery budget totaling $254 a month… “By design, the Trumpy Medicaid changes will remove 10.3 million people from their health insurance, according to the CBO…” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

True or false?
