REP. BEHN: “If @repandyogles wants to talk investigations he should look in the mirror — he is a walking ethics violation.” Known liar Pinocchiogles is on the warpath against mayor O’Connell & @aftynbehn.bsky.social… as Trump just squashed a real FBI probe into him. #TennesseeSantos

🔥 MASSACHUSETTS GOV HEALEY: “Trump wants to tell Harvard who they can let in, what they can teach, who they can hire… It’s dumb. It’s stupid. Trump is making 🇺🇸 less competitive, and putting American interests last.”

Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

The plaintiff, a victim of Epstein, claims the gov't concealed its conduct for years & "At no time did the FBI or any other government entity reach out to Maria to investigate or seek to understand or resolve her claims or otherwise in any way substantively respond to her claim.

What's in the Trump/GOP big, beautiful bill? -Tax cuts skewed to the rich -Medicaid & SNAP cuts -Ends IRS Direct File -New powers for Trump over the courts -Blocks state/local regulation against AI, including rent-gouging software like RealPage It's a big, ugly nightmare.

"I'm not trying to be dramatic, I know AmeriCorps seniors that survive on the stipends. I know that they would be homeless. I know seniors that rely on Meals on Wheels. I know kids that only get their one healthy meal at school. I know people that will go homeless." defector.com/an-interview...

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon sounded a warning on the fractious US relationship with China — and on “the enemy within.”

Being Rich has nothing to do with intelligence. This is an example of this conclusion.

The costly sanction came hours before the Working Families Party ‪chose Mr. Cuomo’s leading rival, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, as its top choice among its slate of @nywfp.bsky.social‬ ranked candidates: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/n...

It is outrageous to see ICE agents armed like they’re entering a war zone and handcuffing workers who did nothing wrong. This isn’t making our communities safer, it’s just about terrorizing immigrants. As this Admin spreads fear we will keep fighting back. I’ll be demanding answers on this incident.

Students like Emma have been advocating to expand reproductive rights on our public university campuses in Illinois. We’re eliminating barriers to seeking care due to inaccessibility, and I look forward to signing HB 3709 into law.

A federal judge has blocked the Trump admin from revoking the temporary protected status of roughly 5,000 Venezuelans in the U.S. — despite Kristi Noem's decision to terminate a Biden-era extension of the program. @msnbc.com

WATCH: “Ogles is very familiar with criminality— Do not back down. Do not apologize.” Asked about the Pinocchiogles + Blackburn witch hunt at the @thebulwark.com event, Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social gave some advice to mayor @freddieoconnell.bsky.social. Full: youtu.be/mwa_C3kf0zQ?...

Federal officers entered Rep. Jerry Nadler’s office in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday and handcuffed and briefly detained one of his aides. The confrontation happened shortly after the aide observed federal agents detaining migrants in a public hallway outside an immigration courtroom.

not a data take but this is fucked up. cutting food benefits to poor moms, infants, and toddlers is pointlessly cruel. not a partisan issue, just straightforwardly fucked. the cruelty is the point. call your congressperson

We are very here for @mehdirhasan.bsky.social calling out @RepJohnRose’s latest blatant hypocrisy 🔥

Here is this month's Schrier Flyer!

Great morning listening to the concerns of voters in AZ-1. I'm so inspired by our neighbors and their persistence in demanding better representation in Congress. Let's win! Let's get some real work done in Congress. #az1

I’m joining Uber’s war on transit on the side of transit

It’s telling that in trying to repair “this bill kills people” Ernst doubles down on the inevitability of death rather than dispute the claim about the bill

Don't believe this lie, Yanks. We've all been sent to a concentration camp just outside Chorlton-cum-Hardy, for various crimes, including ❌ leaving dirty plates in the sink ❌ wearing odd socks on a Tuesday and ❌ opening a packet of Rich Tea biscuits from the wrong end. Old Blighty has fallen!

A senator who wants to be governor joins extremist Pinocchiogles in his witch hunt of the mayor of the state’s capital city.

Washington passed a law to help end systemic child abuse in the Catholic Church—and the Church responds with a lawsuit. Just imagine if religion weren’t involved and someone filed a lawsuit because the law requires them to report child abuse—even though they pinky swore to keep it secret.

MAUREEN DOWD: “.. Elon Musk came to Washington with a chain saw and left with a black eye. “..’Shrinking government is hard, particularly when you do it callously and carelessly — and apparently on hallucinogens.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/o...

Trump just seriously whined about his “mental anguish” in his pressure campaign on CBS News. Katie Phang reports on the latest in that lawsuit and why Paramount’s settlement might be federal bribery.
