NEW: This Virginia city has seen years of heated debate over criminal justice reform. Progressive officials moved to stop adult charges for kids, weed cases, mandatory minimums; it's all run into fierce opposition from other leaders. Then, the reform prosecutor won last week. I wrote about it:

One of the signs of dementia is cursing at inappropriate moments.

HUGE: Senate Parliamentarian says that Mike Lee's public land sell-off violates the Byrd rule, requires 60 votes in the Senate. A bunch of other terrible anti-environment provisions do too. This isn't over, but this is a huge win. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

Mike Johnson brazenly lies: "We are not cutting Medicaid. The president has said that and I have said that. We're all said that. We're strengthening the program."

Congratulations to John Roberts, who will now surely displace Taney as the most scathingly hated Chief Justice in the history books, and to the Roberts Court, which m will go down as the one that probably did the most of any to destroy what is good about this country

President Trump attacked another nation without congressional authorization. I have co-sponsored this resolution to terminate any ongoing military action by the United States against Iran unless authorized by Congress.

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

We have bombed a nation we are not at war with and have done so without Congress knowing about it, voting on it or approving it. President Trump’s actions are not only unconstitutional—they are dangerous.

I’ll bet Pete Hegseth gets bombed tonight too.

This is because the parade flopped, isn't it?

💯. There is no strategy, only impulses to quench an unquenchable narcissistic thirst.

Or maybe he’s psychologically incapable of acting and speaking on anything but pure impulse.

Getting an explainer on CNN just now that this is "not necessarily at odds" w Trump promising not to get into any Mideast wars. ("He sees bombing as separate from entering a war.")

On Hannity tonight, Fox News’ National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin reports that it’s not clear whether the U.S. was able to destroy Iran’s nuclear site at Isfahan—despite Trump’s claim that all three sites have been “completely and totally obliterated.”

No one could have predicted

June 19, 1925: Bessie Coleman, the first Black female pilot in the U.S., flies in her first air show, in her home city of Houston. After this stunt exhibition that falls on Juneteenth she will go on a barnstorming tour for both Black and white audiences across the South.

Hey NYC Democrats, you’re very good friend Bill Ackman, who’s always looking out for your best interests, is urging you not to vote for Mamdani. Be sure to vote like Smart Good Person Bill Ackman says!!!

“Including me.”

Have any Utah Republicans called Mike Lee out? Anyone ask @spencercox.bsky.social? Or how about the LDS church? Do they have any firm positions on lying and laughing about murder?

glad to say i was ahead of most of the pack in calling out this joker. he used to light up my DMs with whining too.

It's parody at this point

Bartiromo: "The Senate Finance Committee unveiling the text of President Trump's bill ... it includes even steeper Medicaid cuts than the House called for." (Trump has repeatedly claimed that the bill doesn't cut Medicaid. Oops.)

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.

how is every new video I see of this parade more embarrassing than the last

Ernst’s gaffe isn’t going away. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

Fox News brings on Rebekah Koffler to talk about the military parade, but she seems to be heavily intoxicated so they cut away with quickness

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

We had bigger crowds at our first grade spring shows.

Newsom’s social media team is killing it. (This isn’t an old picture. It’s from right now. I asked.) 😂😂😂😂

“.. growth in overall US private construction spending on manufacturing has flatlined from the boom seen under President Joe Biden’s administration ..” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

"They took her in a car, in essence kidnapping her ... I met another young woman whose husband has quite literally disappeared" -- Newsom shares harrowing details of specific cases of ICE terrorizing immigrants in California

😕

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.
