Hmmm... seems bad that Senate Dems are pretending not to know anything about this specific provision in the bill when asked by @ericmgarcia.bsky.social... Seems like coordinated faux ignorance.

The band playing "Fortunate Son" might have been the best part of the whole parade. In case you don't know the lyrics, here they are. A perfect gift for a flawed man.

Can someone please ask Karoline Leavitt why the Director of White House Personnel refuses to say what country he is from and refuses to complete paperwork for a background check? Can you also ask if “Sergio Gor” is the name on his birth certificate. Seems kinda important.

Congratulations to @abigailspanberger.com on her primary victory. We endorsed her early in the campaign because she has been at the tip of the spear battling corruption and protecting the interests of regular people in our democracy. We look forward to helping her win the general election.

BREAKING: U.S. regulators have approved the world's only twice-a-year shot to prevent HIV.

Observe who is the initial aggressor. As protesters and police in Portland got physically involved, tensions increased.

So true....

Congratulations @lesliemehta.bsky.social ☑️

being nonwhite and working for ICE should be a “my family doesn’t talk to me anymore” level offense

@CarlHeastieNY time to stop spreading sewage sludge on our farms and over our drinking water. The Assembly can protect NYS from PFAS forever chemicals— please bring A6192D to the floor! Pass it today! #BanTheSludge #PFASfreeNY

Vaccines continue to be safe, effective, and save lives. Firing all 17 CDC vaccine experts, including WA’s Dr. Helen Chu, and replacing them with conspiracy theorists is reckless and dangerous. FULL STOP.

#10YearsAgo, a tragedy fueled by hate occurred, claiming nine lines at #MotherEmanuelAME in #CharlestonSC. #10YearsLater and still #SouthCarolina is w/o a hate crime law. Remember that when you see the hollow words of those in positions who can fix the #CharlestonLoophole. #EmanuelNine #HateWontWin

These Medicaid cuts will be felt in EVERY single district — red, blue, and purple — as people lose health care and rural clinics are forced to close. HANDS OFF OUR MEDICAID.

The American gestapo.

Given what the ICE Gestapo is doing, immigration courts should offer every defendant the option of participating in hearings via Zoom.

NEW: Gov. Hochul announced $50 million in state funding for legal defense for immigrants—especially those targeted by ICE outside federal courthouses. New York is drawing a line: if ICE wants a fight, immigrants won’t stand alone.👏🏽

Concerned citizens have turned to the Neighbors app, once used largely to look for lost deliveries, to make public service announcements about ICE raids in their communities.

Jon "Bowzer" Bauman: It's not an exaggeration to say that people are going to die, a lot of people are going to die, if these hospitals close and if Medicaid is really cut. We're here today to plead with David Valadao to do the right thing. @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social.

Hard to argue with that.

#COTD Jet is a very sweet FIV+ boy who came to us from a neglectful home in Wilkesboro, NC. An incredible woman rescued him, nursed him to health & helped him find his forever home here at BCR! He recently had eyelid surgery and is doing great! Read more: www.blindcatrescue.com/cats/jet.htm

Our Revolution proudly dual-endorses @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & @bradlander.bsky.social — the leading progressives in the NYC Mayor’s race! With ranked choice voting, you can vote for BOTH. 🗳️ Early voting is on — Election Day is June 24. Let’s topple Cuomo’s campaign together. 💥

First SCOTUS opinion today. Over nuclear waste storage. It's 6-3 with Gorsuch, Thomas, Alito dissenting. Thankfully the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is still allowed to exist. Basically it's Common Sense 1 -- James Ho 0.

Texas is poised to make it easier for residents in the state to own short-barreled shotguns and rifles, rolling back yet another firearm regulation in a state that has experienced some of the deadliest mass shootings in the country in the last decade.

Our @nyccomptroller.bsky.social was arrested for doing what our elected officials are supposed to do—protect our communities. We aren't going to take this sitting down. Federal Plaza is full of New Yorkers calling for Brad Lander's release and the end of ICE disappearing our neighbors.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled that incarcerated people have a right for their claims to be heard by a jury in cases where access to the prison’s grievance procedure is at issue. This is a step toward making justice more accessible for people in prison.

We now live in a country where men without a uniform or badge, but wearing gang clothing and face masks can grab any person and take them away. Is this really our America?

This is America. People shouldn't have to go to Mexico to get the care they need! David Valadao, do the right thing. #HandsOffOurHospitals @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social

Diplomacy and leadership 👇👇👇👇👇

“North Carolina’s voting districts don’t belong to politicians — they belong to the people," Da’Quan Love of NC NAACP and Ann Webb of Common Cause NC write in today's Greensboro News & Record about our trial against racial gerrymandering now underway at federal court in Winston-Salem: bit.ly/3TqYb0a

We cannot normalize this.

Thousands of medically retired veterans are eligible for additional retroactive combat disability pay following a Supreme Court decision that ends a cap on compensation for individuals with less than 20 years of service.

Mike Lee has deleted his shitposting tweets in the wake of the Minnesota shooting. Amy Klobuchar spoke to him, but didn't divulge what was said, saying only: "Senator Lee and I had a good discussion, and I'm very glad he took it down." Lee has evaded questions about it.

The approval ratings are tanking so bad, even Harry Enten has to recognize it.

And so it begins! 🤨👇🏼💙💡

Governor Tim Walz, "The way our nation moves forward is not through hate. It is not through violence. It is through humility, and grace, and compassion.

Cuomo: "No law enforcement agent should be allowed to wear a mask to cover their face. Show the American people who you are if you're not ashamed."

For nearly a century, generation after generation has defended and expanded our Social Security system. Social Security can continue to deliver benefits for generations to come if we make the ultra-rich pay their fair share.

"One especially irritating tendency left-bashing centrists have is their selectiveness about what they consider “realistic" @currentaffairs.bsky.social

Get the federal troops out of L.A. Now.

We now know that parts of our oceans have reached dangerous acidification levels earlier than expected. That means lobsters, shellfish, and Maine’s $700 billion fishing industry are in trouble.
