No one is better at explaining things than @petebuttigieg.bsky.social. Wishing you all a wonderful and MEANINGFUL Juneteenth! 🖤

SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? HEGSETH: What is that based on? SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to bc he didn't accept the order. He has more guts & balls than you

Howard Lutnick claims that 55 percent tariffs on China is the “best outcome for America”

“This decision is unprecedented, unwarranted, and extremely problematic.” Dr. Bisola Ojikutu, Commissioner of Public Health for @boston.gov, shares with @nbcboston.com. In Boston we will continue to rely on evidence-based science to protect and support our residents.

Sen. Murphy: "It's becoming clear that the main justification seems to be that Sen. Padilla was showing some level of disrespect. The first comments from our Republican colleagues, if you're an American who cares about free speech, are really concerning."

When we share love and acceptance, we share joy and the world gets a little brighter.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period. This shit is out of control. Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

“Nobody knew who he was” — Kristi Noem on a US senator

Speaker Mike Johnson just called on the Senate to censure...Sen. Alex Padilla. You read that right. The American Fascist Party at work.

Breaking news: Contradicting HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the CDC continues to recommend the coronavirus vaccines for healthy children, according to new documentation posted to the agency's website.

They were always going to go after the easy targets. These lazy fucks don’t want to chase actual criminals.

Phang: If you see claims that those convictions have been overturned on appeal — it’s bullshit. They have not been overturned on appeal. I have no idea—strike that—I have every idea where that comes from. It comes from stupid, far-right people who don’t know how to read and don’t know the law.

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮

It’s Friday—and we’ve got a whole lot to discuss.

We thought Elon was leaving, but it looks like he’s just stepping out of the spotlight to try and save Tesla. Trump posted, “This will be his last day, but not really, because he will, always, be with us, helping all the way.”

Oh there goes his ratings

The selling of the presidency is the most successful business venture of Donald Trump’s career, @dgraham.bsky.social writes in The Atlantic Daily.

I have questions about Musk’s departure from DOGE, and we don’t really have good answers. Sometimes, it’s important to just put down the markers. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

It’s been around since 1983.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

He’s not gonna like this.

Democrats need to focus even more than they have so far on the Medicaid part of this bill. They can correctly describe the Medicaid cuts as large and radical.

By @alejandrabee.bsky.social The House and Senate both voted to loosen regulations on air pollutants like dioxin and mercury, which are associated with higher cancer risk.

REPORTER: On the president's dinner tonight, will the White House commit to making a list of the attendees public so people can see who's paying for that kind of access to the president? LEAVITT: The president is attending it in his personal time

My statement on the charges filed against me:

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

Most attendees at Trump's private memecoin dinner this week will likely be foreign buyers, according to CNBC. One of the top buyers is Chinese crypto billionaire Justin Sun, who was facing fraud charges until Trump's SEC dropped them. Call it what it is: corruption.

As many know, the Trump administration is… well, fill in the blank. Let’s debunk a few wild claims making the rounds in MAGA circles. First, the idea that Jill Biden should “know better” because she’s a doctor, she holds a doctorate in education, not medicine.

More winning.

Just a reminder that the "Fox News Channel" is just a name— it does not describe an actual news channel. The FNC's own description of its services is here, from its terms of use:

I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver. This is a political stunt—point blank.

Tuberville doesn't know the three branches of the U.S. government in which he serves, but he knows that Putin wants Odessa, Crimea, and limits to NATO. And Tuberville can't blame Putin for those demands. Huh.
