Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.

After getting blocked the first time, Sen. Mike Lee is revising his land grab plan and trying to sneak it back into the “Big 💩 Bill.” The new proposal would force the sale of up to 1.2 million acres of public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management.

Trump on his budget today: It reduces the deficit! (It raises the deficit by $3.4T) No tax on social security! (That’s not in the bill) No cuts to Medicaid! (Largest Medicaid cuts in history).

NOT A SINGLE SENATOR should vote to confirm Emil Bove for the 3d Circuit Court of Appeals. (Fixed It!)

NEWS: Kenneth Chesebro, "architect" of the 2020 fake electors plot who pleaded to criminal charges in Georgia, has been disbarred from the practice of law in New York, per order issued today by New York appellate court.

Trump sucks on the economy, his biggest tentpole issue.

Irony Alert!

Hurricane and storm surge expert Michael Lowry penned a column on Thursday, warning of a recent decision by President Donald Trump's administration to kill three weather satellites just as hurricane season is ramping up.

The DOJ filed a lawsuit against Orange County, California, accusing its top election official of withholding voter records. Emails obtained by Democracy Docket show the county offered to share data while maintaining voter privacy, but the DOJ sued anyway. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Yes. No.

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

"Iran’s predicament is a cautionary tale about what happens when loyalty to a ruling ideology—rather than capability—determines who runs a society," Yair Rosenberg writes. Here's where America should take note:

🚨BREAKING: A new deal to settle a lawsuit brought by the Trump administration against the North Carolina State Board of Elections suggests neither side is looking out for voters, pro-voting groups argued Wednesday in a court filing. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

When you lie about your credentials, your drinking, and your leaking of classified war plans, why would anyone trust you about the air strikes?

Experts say regardless of the amount of damage done to Iran's nuclear facilities, deliberate negotiations leading to a lasting agreement are crucial to prevent the resumption of war.

WARREN: What has changed in the last six months that has caused the Fed to forecast substantial higher inflation, somewhat higher unemployment, and lower economic growth than you did in December? POWELL: Some of it is people working in the possible effects in the short term of tariffs

Sour Grapes Turning into White Whine.

They are all twisted. Every. Single. One. Of. Them.

WTF is wrong with him?

asked a tough question by a reporter about how he seems to suddenly be pushing propaganda, Chairman Caine squirms and Hegseth has to jump in to save him

Does your wife have a top secret clearance Petey?

FOX NEWS'S JENNIFER GRIFFIN: Are you certain none of that highly enriched uranium was moved? HEGSETH: Jennifer, you've been about the worst. The one who misrepresents the most intentionally. GRIFFIN: I take issue with that

BREAKING: Senate parliamentarian blocks Medicaid changes in "big, beautiful bill"

The action lays bare the administration's attempt to exert its will over immigration enforcement, and a growing anger at federal judges who have blocked executive branch actions they see as lawless.

What an embarrassment

Of course newrepublic.com/post/197149/...

Boyle: For every American household that makes under $55,000 a year, they will be poorer as a result of this bill. So it's quite clear under this Republican betrayal— the poor get poorer, the rich get richer, and the middle class falling further behind. This is wrong.

It’s been a long and hard journey, but this letter I received today has made every heartache, smear campaign and sleepless night more than worth it!

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

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.

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

Trump's America. They literally just zip-tied the hands of disabled Medicaid activists in wheelchairs before Capitol police arrested them at the Russel Senate Office building. How about we arrest the people scamming Americans, like the president?

And 'danger' brings to mind Peter Thiel and Leonard Leo and Koch ...

Hateful sycophants like Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem behave like they will never be held accountable. I live for the day when they will be held accountable.

Hiding declassified files and presidential records is yet another way for the administration to dodge accountability. The authoritarian always seeks to limit your access to information.

Bondi crashes out in response to Merkley's questions about Trump's crypto corruption

On March 20, 2002, President George W. Bush began the bombing campaign in Iraq, justifying the attack with manipulated and bogus intelligence. Twenty-three years later, history is repeating itself.

Sums it up pretty well.

Immigrants in areas with an ICE presence need to get themselves an ICE costume. When they go out, wear a tactical vest, mask and wrap around sunglasses. Blend in

WTF?!

Zohran Mamdani says he would arrest Netanyahu if he visits New York City — if elected mayor. Stop stop, there’s only so much good news I can take 🫦

The best part of the Mamdani win is that a bunch of octogenarian Democratic officials might finally be realizing that it's long past time they pass the torch.

As of June 15, 71.8% of the 56,397 people in ICE detention had no criminal conviction. It costs taxpayers ~$165/day for a bed in a detention facility. So we're now paying ~$6.7 million/day to keep people who haven't been convicted of a crime locked in prisons. Sources: TRAC Immigration, DHS
