“I‘ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this,” said Judge William Young when ruling from the bench. “Is it true of our society as a whole? Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?” You Go Judge Young! www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/16/m...

I’m watching the Panama v Guadeloupe Gold Cup game on TV as we speak. It is being played in Los Angeles. And the stadium is almost completely empty. A sport that in the U.S. is highly dependent on Latino audiences is no longer viable. The World Cup cannot come here.

He has to pay $2.3M.

Congress should pass the bipartisan BARK Act, my bill to save millions of pounds of perfectly good pet food from the trash and get it to the growing population of hungry shelter dogs and cats. We can do this. Let’s get it done.

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points: This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle. It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.

Yum. Salmonella and E. Coli.

Holy crap. The US-UK trade deal is a blank sheet of paper and only Trump signed it. (Genuine screen grab).

This is legitimately terrifying. Almost 10 million people live within the city limits of Tehran with another almost 7 million additional people in the metro area. There are 8 million people in NYC. How the FUCK would we all be able to "evacuate" with no notice??? THIS IS EVIL. PERIOD.

I love it that you can ride from Denver to Clear Creek Canyon completely on trails without having to go on any roads. New Huntsman Gulch 3 mile extension is opening soon! And it’s ADA accessible!

They don’t believe in any gods and can’t read the Bible. How can they possibly do the morally correct thing?

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

And again, they were about 15-20 times as large as the April 2009 Tea Party protests, so I'll sit back and wait for 15-20 times as many stories from political pundits explaining that this was a decisive rebuke to the sitting president that Changes Everything.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

The Congressman who literally said Gaza should be nuked is now trying to clutch his pearls and claim the No Kings protest was a call for violence.

this is on me, but i genuinely didn’t expect thune to be even more shameless than mcconnell

ICYMI: The Senate is poised to pass a bill that would protect the savings of cryptocurrency owners before those of other bank customers. Yet again, legislators prioritizing the interests of the wealthy over working people. Shameful. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

Excellent work, resisters! #NoKingsDay

Trump just doing Obamaphones for real is a little on-the-nose from the writer's room. www.mediamatters.org/tucker-carls...

An analysis comparing the number of scientific papers on vaccines published by recently fired #ACIP members to those published by the 8 people Sec. Kennedy chose to replace them shows a stark difference in depth of expertise in the field. www.science.org/content/arti...

President Trump and Congressional Republicans are taking a sledgehammer to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The result:

I had the same reaction. Mamdani is such a threat in their view that they had to essentially reverse their non-endorsement policy. If Cuomo was cruising to victory, I doubt this piece would be written.

Important: Trump's suspension of deportation raids on agriculture/hospitality infuriated many inside WH, reports NYT. MAGA influencers also angry. Again, the real story here is that mass deportations have driven a schism in MAGA that Dems can exploit, as I tried to argue in the piece below.

This MAGA terrorist arrested and held w/o bail for driving his car into the No Kings protest in Virginia deserves far more coverage from the media!!

While Utah senator Mike Lee was making jokes on social media about Vance Boelter assassinating Minnesota lawmakers, here's what happened at the No Kings rally in the capital city of his home state. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

‘This is the looting of America’: Trump and Co’s extraordinary conflicts of interest in his second term www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

For over a decade I'd been saying that we wouldn't see a ban on birth control per se, but instead just doctors refusing it to anyone who wasn't married. Here's another step in that...

Trump's assault on rural hospitals hits the Senate MAGA wants to invade the cities, but they might as well be bombing 338 rural hospitals.

⚡️ HUR identifies Russian tanker evading oil sanctions with illegal transfers near Greece, Cyprus. The vessel, operating without Western insurance, is part of Russia's expanding shadow fleet used to bypass G7 and EU sanctions on Russian oil exports.

Walz: "This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now is the time for us to recommit to the core values of this country ... Talk to a neighbor rather than arguing. Debate an issue. Shake hands. Find common ground. This is who Melissa Hortman was."

Please keep your eyes on Portland Oregon right now There's a riot declared near the ice facility in Portland and DHS agents have pulled lethal guns on protesters with live ammo at least four times the last half hour

Just your average commander-in-chief pop-up shop.

Oh my God. Nationalizing key industry by sleight of hand.

AOC framed the NYC mayor’s race as a referendum on the Democratic Party - against the gerontocracy - at a rally for Zohran Mamdani. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Patriot Front crashed Springfield, MO Pride festival. Driving a Penske truck. U-Haul banned Patriot Front from renting their vehicles. It’s time for people to tell Penske to do the same.
