Please do not leave milk out on a hot summer’s day and then directly apply it to your mucous membranes. Also, please do not bring a homemade bottle of “mystery mix” that’s “good for pepper spray!!” Water is fine, and we can all tell what’s in it!

It's peak Northeast rose season!

“Strongman” politicians project their supposed strength by attacking immigrants, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community. But these groups of people aren't the "threats" we should be worried about. Who is? The oligarchs who earn their keep by exploiting the rest of us.

NEW: Newly unsealed documents in the Abrego Garcia case show the government playing discovery games in April - when they were investigating the 2022 traffic stop - but refused to disclose their plans. We discuss on tomorrow's UnJustified. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u...

Unmask ICE

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

🚨BREAKING: Mississippi is asking the Supreme Court to uphold its mail-in ballot grace period. Mississippi is fighting back against a challenge from the RNC to strike down the law. Depending on how SCOTUS rules, it could change how over a dozen states conduct elections. Paige and I discuss.

Who is going to tell him that the Trump administration win rate in court stands at 7%?

Beyond Musk, Senators face another budget bill foe — callers "5 Calls app's internal data shows consistent, monthlong opposition to Trump's 'disgusting abomination' budget bill." See the spike in calls near the House passage. www.allrisenews.com/p/budget-bil...
