New in PN: Trump's attack on Harvard hampered by his inability to STFU "The Trump administration would be getting slapped down in court even if the president & his minions *didn’t* constantly announce their intent to violate laws. But their incessant chest thumping does make things go a lot faster"

GOP Rep. Mike Flood faced loud yells from his constituents after admitting at a town hall that he hadn’t read parts of Trump’s budget bill that would make it easier for the government to defy court orders. “I am not going to hide the truth, this provision was unknown to me when I voted for that.”

NEW: A federal judge greenlit lawsuits challenging Elon Musk’s position in the federal government and DOGE as unconstitutional, stating that the faux-agency’s efforts to slash the government likely violate the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. From: @jaknutson.bsky.social‬

REMINDER: Join me for an in-person town hall this Saturday. Time: 11:00 am PT Location: Mt. Hood Community College Yoshida Event Center, 26000 SE Stark St, Gresham Your voice fuels my work in Congress. I hope to see you there.

BREAKING: Termination notices are expected to go out to the 800 remaining Voice of America employees this week.

KOH on the Trump Pardon: "This guy was supposed to be paying Social Security and Medicare taxes for his employees and instead bought a $2 million yacht."

At Law Dork, I covered the latest happenings at SCOTUS — from two orders that, at least temporarily, gave Trump exactly what he wanted to a request that they do the same regarding the people the administration shipped to Africa, bound for South Sudan, in violation of a court order.

The dress code and covered faces for these guys are bullshit. This is America, not Russia. All law enforcement agencies have both a standard uniform and a tactical uniform. Tactical uniforms and automatic weapons are meant for tactical missions, not publicity stunts. I am embarrassed for them.

Malarkey if a fucking media hungry self circle jerker who believes he deserves fame and fortune. He is now demanding that CEO’s request an audience with him so he can “Hear” them. You’re a CEO, full out this form to get a meeting with him. www.fda.gov/industry/ceo...

Trump Loses Another Battle in His War Against Elite Law Firms A judge struck down an executive order targeting WilmerHale, in the latest victory for the handful of firms that have fought back against a Trump administration crackdown. The lesson here: FIGHT BACK!!

The Tate brothers have been charged with over 20 offenses in the UK. Andrew and Tristan Tate are facing rape, controlling prostitution for gain, actual body harm, and other charges. Lock them up! 🍿

Scoop: Nancy Mace's fmr staff tell me they were assigned to create burner accounts to bolster their boss online. “We were congressional staff, and there were actual things we could be doing to help the constituents," one said. 1/ www.wired.com/story/nancy-...

I’m having @aselrod.bsky.social on fast politics Saturday podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

“.. ‘It’s a distraction,’ said one lobbyist .. ‘We’re excited to have a president who is enthusiastic about crypto. But the way they’ve done this … it just doesn’t look good.’” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

We had a special request for the 9th amendment! This one essentially serves as a catch-all for individual rights. In basic terms, people have more rights than what is listed and if rights are listed, they don’t take away or ignore the ones people have. 👍 *Note: We are not constitutional lawyers.*

NEW: The White House is planning — at last — to send some DOGE cuts to the Hill. The decision comes after a long battle over how to formalize them.

A judge ruled that DOGE can now access sensitive Treasury Department systems, allowing its Musk staffers to interact with the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which manages trillions in federal payments and holds private information on millions of Americans.

Capitalists HATE Socialism because it’s the antithesis of Capitalism. Socialism is investing in the people to build a stronger nation instead of only investing in oneself. Society is missing community, socialism IS community.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

"Judge Jeannette Vargas said in her ruling that she was clearing the way for the Elon Musk-backed team at the Treasury to access these systems because the Trump admin has created a process to train the DOGE staffers & prevent improper disclosures of private data." www.cnn.com/2025/05/27/p...

This.

Putting a feeler out to the community. Is there interest in a thread explaining this budget's potential to force states to change medicaid reimbursement? Along with the potential impacts? Let me know!

Speaking on Wednesday in the Knesset, Israel's parliament, Netanyahu said that Sinwar was killed in an Israeli airstrike, but did not provide specifics.

Folks, Please don’t lose sight of the fact that the President is supposed to serve the American people. Not his pockets and his ego. We’re so deep in the mire that we’re losing even the memory of normal. Peanut farm, people. Peanut farm.

just going on the teevee and admitting it's all first amendment violations

NEW: Court orders the release of the Russian scientist who entered the U.S. with inert frog embryos.

"Yes, Cuomo is awful, but I have some policy differences with the progressives, so this is hard." This is not hard. What you do is, you set aside your precious little checklist, and YOU DON'T VOTE FOR THE AWFUL PERSON.

#NCPol

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that he could bar government scientists from publishing in the world’s leading medical journals, instead proposing the creation of “in-house” publications by his agency.

More on the theme of "Rubio Lied."

Fluoride, fluoride, it's so great! Do you know the fluoridation level in your state? 👇 nccd.cdc.gov/DOH_MWF/Defa... Ok, yes, you can check whether the water is fluoridated by *system*, not just for the overall state, but bear with us for the sake of a silly rhyme 🎵🦷

That actually kind of raises more concerns, in my book.

A judge has denied a request to dismiss a lawsuit alleging Elon Musk and DOGE are wielding unconstitutional power within the government. Separately, Musk also criticized a Trump-backed spending bill.

This is what our governments are facilitating.

WATCH: “My son is afraid I won’t come home from work. People are scared. They’re taking anybody.” Powerful NYT piece on the NASHVILLE raids by @TNHighwayPatrol + ICE that snatched hundreds, terrorizing communities. (Few had violent pasts) Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DKM1ydH...

The orange felon pardoned corrupt Virginia Sheriff Scott Jenkins who was convicted of bribery and fraud, now he pardoned Todd and Julie Chrisley who defrauded banks. Because nothing says law and order like a felon gifting pardons to other felons for their loyalty. Pure fascism.

More #TACO. 🌮 @mediaitenews.bsky.social www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

The US State Department just gave UATX prof Michael Shellenberger —who falsely claimed the FBI paid twitter to censor, falsely claimed 20 million tweets were censored by SIO, and falsely said that OCCRP was behind the Trump impeachment (and never issued corrections) —an exclusive. Regime mouthpiece.

Over $13 billion has been awarded to private companies involved in immigration enforcement in the past 10 years, with a 50% increase recorded from January to May 2025. These companies are profiting off of fear and hate. I know there are other areas where that money can be better used. #ProudBlue

"For many seemingly qualifying [lifesaving] groups, notice of exemption never came, and for the lucky few that did receive it, funds were largely never delivered."

A viral post is spreading fear on all platforms, supposedly from Liz and Me, about a nonexistent bill—just like the far right used to do. We cannot become what we’re fighting. The truth still matters. We win by being better, not louder. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/dont-fight...
