This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

She’s running. Former US ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink — who resigned in protest of Trump’s policy of putting pressure on Kyiv instead of Moscow to end Russia’s war — formally announces her run to challenge Rep. Tom Barrett for Michigan’s 7th Congressional District seat.

excellent letter from Coons, Murray, SChumer and Collins supporting Israel defensively but questioning preparation and demanding consultation. Strikes me as good policy and good politics.

Interesting peek into how tariffs may shorten the lifespan of Social Security — by requiring higher cost-of-living adjustments and suppressing the number of jobs/workers who pay into the fund. (A lower birth rate doesn’t help.) @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/b...

Schatz: People are seeing what chaos really looks like. We are on the brink of some very dangerous developments in the Middle East, and we have chaos inside the US—not chaos the federal government can’t control, but chaos the federal government is, in some instances, precipitating or making worse.

Trump has increasingly usurped the power of Congress. If there were ever a time for the legislative branch to stand up for itself, now would be the time. Congress needs to step up and do its job. Kudos to Bernie.

Those of you making lists of Democrats that DOJ has arrested (usually via Kristi Noem's goons), I beg of you not to forget CA SEIU President David Huerta. The pattern is the same, and in that case they charged a conspiracy which may be an effort to get inside SEIU's private records.

Trump has unilateral edema of the right hand, along with a hematoma. (Swelling and bruising). I’m so curious what’s causing it. Is he getting infusions? Vascular disease? Lymphatic issues? Cancer?

I'm not a lawyer, but I do listen to the @strictscrutiny.bsky.social "Through the Govenor" doesn't seem that ambigous to me. Why have a separate insurrection act if the President can just call up the National Guard without consulting with a Govenor?

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

That's one way to put it. I think it's useful to put on record that the GOP response to the arrests of Dem electeds is that they're attention-seeking losers. We're not even getting "behind the scenes Rs are worried." Not worried at all! They are sharing the arrest pics and LOLing.
