This is a fraud on the American people that would make even the Enron scammers blush. Senate Republicans are violating the rules to hide the cost of their plan and bankrupt the country — all to give tax cuts to billionaires.

If you know a vaccine skeptic, get them to walk through a modern graveyard and take note of the ages on the tombstones. (Mostly old folks) Then have them walk through an old graveyard, a century or more old, and notice the ages on the tombstones there. Lots of dead kids & women between 15 & 35.

Honestly a lovely paean to New York (and Mamdani) from @lioneltrolling.bsky.social: www.unpopularfront.news/p/what-it-to...

If even a fraction of what this letter says is true, Emil Bove should be prosecuted for criminal contempt and disbarred. In no way should he be confirmed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Breaking: After a classified briefing with Cabinet officials, Sen. Chris Murphy says: "I walk away from that briefing still under the belief that we have not obliterated the programs."   "The president was deliberately misleading the public when he said the program was obliterated."

CARTER: The Adolescent Trial Network for HIV intervention received a stop work order that shut down research at 14 sites where 7 studies were being conducted. Were you aware of that? RFK JR: As far as I know, we haven't cut any clinica-- CARTER: I'm telling you by your own records you are

Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that don’t exist? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.

Damn right!!!

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

I haven’t seen anyone so terrified by the sight of a crucifix since I last watched a vampire flick

hell yeah

When you discover a year-old potato in the back of the pantry cupboard:

Today’s decision out of Rhode Island isn’t getting a lot of attention, but it’s very important. Trump tried to withhold fed’l funds from states that won’t help with his immigration policy & mass deportations. A Judge just told him he can’t do that. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

Back in April, the Trump Admin gave states a choice: comply with ICE, or lose funding for roads, bridges and public transit. That ultimatum is completely illegal, a federal judge just ruled:

The day before Kristi Noem's goons premeditated an arrest of Brad Lander, NYC amended its lawsuit against Noem, catching them lying to explain their theft of $80M. I'd say that's just a coinkydink...But Ras Baraka is suing Noem too. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/18/r...

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

Where are all the “Don’t Tread on Me” Libertarians? Doesn’t this freak them the fck out?? Were they just full of shlt this whole time like their “fiscally responsible” GOP bros?

Reagan appointee rules against NIH #DEI cuts: “'I have never seen racial discrimination by the government like this,' in his 40 years on the bench, he said, to which there was an audible gasp in the courtroom." www.statnews.com/2025/06/16/n...

This is a helluva letter

Tomorrow's front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune

My god. 6 MILLION acres of public lands in Oregon, including the vast majority of our national forests, will be sold in a fire sale if the MAGA budget passes.

✌🏾💙🇺🇲✊🏾🙌🏻

This was the type of headline I was hoping for. When millions of people voluntarily show up around the world to oppose the President, and he can't even _pay_ enough people to come to his stupid birthday parade, that's a sign that democracy still has a chance in the USA.

So manly. So tough. LAPD is out showing their asses today. I hope it makes them feel like big boys to assault an elderly man. Shame on these traitors!!! 😡🤬🖕

“God is reaching out to you [to] find[] the ways that we may be able to do something with our own lives to serve others. “And in that service to others we may find that coming together in friendship, building up community, we too can find true meaning in our lives.” www.osvnews.com/full-text-ad...

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

1/5 🔥 In both 2023 and 2024, every single extremist murder in the U.S. was committed by right-wing extremists, white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and hate-fueled ideologues. Not “both sides.” Not “Antifa.” Just the violent far-right. The data is in. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

bsky.app/profile/rich.... America friends, friendlies and proud pro-democracy protestors. Congratulations 🎊 on showing and telling #Concerned_globalcitzens that the love of country and the words in your anthem are alive and will thrive if you never give up or in until you win.

This is hilarious.

THIS 👊🏽 is for the “RESISTANCE” “You gotta be bad You gotta be bold You gotta be wiser You gotta be hard You gotta be tough You gotta be stronger You gotta be cool You gotta be calm You gotta stay together” youtu.be/pO40TcKa_5U

If you’re attending a protest today and happen to be a trumpet player who knows Star Wars. Great opportunity Stay safe. Fight the Empire. #NoKings #DemCast #DemVoice1

And Rufo saying *THIS WEEK* that they needed to use unmarked vans to take progressive leaders off the streets normalizes the violent unaccountability. This is exactly what he’s been trying to incite.
