Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Rieckhoff: That’s America’s Secretary of Defense. I wish he attacked Vladimir Putin as aggressively as he attacks CNN and others

Dear God. Would that these men put our house back in order!

This is a gift to all the dictators and despots around the world. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

1/Tomorrow, June 27, 2025, at 1:30 p.m, I will be in fed court to challenge Trump Administration's unlawful revocation of my #securityclearance w/o any due process & purely for partisan, vindictive reasons. You can listen in via 833-990-9400; Meeting ID is 771021014.

Despite promises, ICE has arrested only 6% of immigrants known to have committed murder - NBC News

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson. Tilson sits at a whopping .8%. Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.

My thoughts on Justice Jackson quoted in a wonderful piece by Kelsey Reichmann: “I find her brilliant yet accessible, and boy, is that a hard combination. She's engaging with different audiences, but all at the same level.” www.courthousenews.com/in-dissent-j...

The United States is being run by such trashy despicable vile clowns. A daily embarrassment and our world will suffer greatly for it.

Certainly close enough to the real truth!

Imagine needing to zip tie the hands of people in wheelchairs. What kind of threat do these folks pose that this sort of cruelty is deemed necessary?

NEW: Records of hundreds of emergency calls from ICE detention centers obtained by WIRED—including audio recordings—show a system inundated by life-threatening incidents, delayed treatment, and overcrowding. Unpaywalled from @dell.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social:

The claim that Emil Bove told DOJ lawyers they might have to say "fuck you" to court orders rightfully shocked people. The full scope of lawyer Erez Reuveni's claims, however, paints an even more damning picture. At Law Dork, here are 11 key allegations from the whistleblower disclosure —>

Oh for f*’s sake… RFK Jr.’s vaccine panel to review the childhood immunization schedule.

I think that the outcome in the NY Mayoral race and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race both show that people power CAN beat the political money machine. That should give us all hope, and the motivation to work for the government we want.

Our current President is a traitorous, convicted felon, and a court-adjudicated rapist who lacks the intelligence, character, decency, and cognitive ability to lead. His presence is doing us irreparable harm. We should not normalize him, but normalize stating the truth about him.

He came from a fake boardroom, ran a fake charity, a fake university, faked his net worth, faked Time magazine covers, lied about crowd sizes, and ran on a fake law and order stance. Now we’re stuck in the rerun of a rigged reality show.

On the latest episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, I spoke with economist Ben Powell on his research on immigration. www.mercatus.org/hayekprogram...

🛑 𝗡𝗢 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗦𝗘𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗧 𝗣𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗘 CA lawmakers just introduced SB 627, a bill that would BAN law enforcement from hiding their identities during operations in our communities. Why? Because masked, unidentifiable agents have been terrorizing neighborhoods without names, badges, or accountability. 1/4

Nothing screams 'freedom' quite like arresting people in wheelchairs protesting Medicaid cuts.

1 of 21/ Body Language and Behavior Analysis No. 4776: AOC questions RFK Jr regarding Healthcare Insurance Companies Defrauding the Government $80 Billion – Nonverbal and Emotional Intelligence

This won’t succeed but it is not normal. This is very dangerous. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Mitch McConnell wants to slash Medicaid hurting seniors, disabled Americans, even veterans. That’s OUR money. That’s THEIR lifeline. This isn’t fiscal responsibility it’s cruelty. We see you, Mitch. And we won’t forget. VC mamasissiesays #MedicaidMatters #FightForCare #PeopleOverProfits

A federal judge in Tennessee just denied the government’s request to keep Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia locked up while it appeals his release. Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr. upheld the magistrate’s order to free Abrego Garcia,

Corporate Media after Trump win: we will only interview Trump supporters (no opponents), make it feel like he has 100% support Corporate Media after Mamdani win: we will only interview people who are scared of Mamdani (no supporters), make it feel like he has 0% support

“The soft power suicide of the U.S. will be incomprehensible to future historians who will be dumbfounded in their attempts to explain why the global leader voluntarily wrecked one of its greatest national assets...” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/b...

The takeaway is not that electoral politics will fix everything. We know it won’t. Obviously. The takeaway is that people will show up if you give them hope & a way forward. And that, my friends, can & must look like a lot of things right now.

'“It is reckless and irresponsible and yet another direct frontal assault on the federal courts of this country,” said retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig, who served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit from 1991 to 2006.' Gift link: wapo.st/4k7iJpu

You don't "not recall" telling DOJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. You either remember saying it, or you remember that you definitely didn't say it. Emil Bove saying he doesn't recall means he definitely said it, and there's a roomful of people that can testify to it.

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were particularly focused on masked gunmen who violated the civil rights of Black people. We should remember this history when masked law enforcement ofcrs are deployed in our communities. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Their corruption is endless. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

For the “the courts will save us” crowd

RFK Jr. is threatening the routine childhood immunization schedule. This is bad. We all need to be paying attention. Get loud. Stay loud.

"Rewarding Emil Bove with a judgeship would be an affront to the rule of law," writes former U.S. attorney Harry Litman.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

A reminder that the Washington Post endorsed confirming Pam Bondi. Support pro-democracy independent media.

The answer is either yes or no. And we all know which of those “I dont recall” is.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Watch this. Because this is the way: Local officials using their platform right, reaching out to the community. Ambrocio “Enrique” Lozano, affectionately known as “the popsicle man,” was reportedly abducted in broad daylight in Culver City. Masked man. White van. Cart left behind in the street.

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking. I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

If anyone is upset over his recent comments, remember what McConnell said to Obama about the enormous benefit healthcare for all would provide: "You must be under the mistaken impression that I care.”
