ICYMI: A coalition of immigrant rights groups sued the Trump administration to block it from paying El Salvador to imprison hundreds of Venezuelan migrants who were removed from the U.S. without due process. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Multiple allies caught in the middle of the implosion between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk were delicately attempting to broker peace between the two men when their quiet conversations were disrupted by a post on X: cnn.it/4kQ4Cp9

No Pug left behind

June is Gun Violence Awareness Month, and tomorrow kicks off #wearorange weekend. If you're wearing orange, please tag us @orangeribbonsforjaime to show your support! #OrangeRibbonsForJaime #ForeverJaime #gunviolenceawareness #wearorange🧡

Democrats — don’t even think about taking money from Elon Musk. It’s blood money.

Some simple budget math: Give out $4 trillion in tax cuts and cut spending by $1 trillion, and you'll get a $3 trillion increase in the national debt. Denying these realities doesn't change them (and yes, the bond market has noticed).

On June 14 we are going to remind Trump and his enablers that America has No Kings. Join us at events in major cities and small towns in every state to stop Trump’s corruption and power grab.

DC's airport will likely be closed for hours to accommodate Trump's military birthday parade next weekend -- which would also send ripples of delays around the country: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Here is the evidence you are looking for, President Trump.

Very good question.

They’re stealing from us. @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social calls it what it is: a damn robbery, not a budget. His #CupOfJoe has a latte passionate facts & a call to action. Call your Senators & tell them to VOTE NO on the #WellWereAllGoingToDieBill. (202) 224-3121

FACTS from Tim Walz: "Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” is nothing more than a big, beautiful pile of bullshit." #TrumpsBillWillKill

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/...

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.

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