Tuberville must be censured and denounced by every Democratic member of the Senate. This is vile and dangerous rhetoric. @schumer.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov

Notice the pattern? Republicans work to advance their worst bills in the middle of the night—hoping you’re asleep while they attack your healthcare, your rights, and your future. (1/2)

Pretty hilarious that the Trump White House chose to confirm this story.

What does the average Iranian hope for the future of their country? Josh Barro and Ross Douthat drop by to explain.

Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican from Tennessee, has sent a letter to Pam Bondi calling for Zohran Mamdani to be stripped of his citizenship and deported.

Dozens of Marines are now patrolling the border near Campo, California. Not just in support roles, but shoulder to shoulder with Border Patrol. A direct challenge to the Posse Comitatus Act, which bans the military from civilian law enforcement.

"No one disputes that the Executive has a duty to follow the law. But the Judiciary does not have unbridled authority to enforce this obligation-in fact, sometimes the law prohibits the Judiciary from doing so." --SCOTUS

🚨BREAKING: The latest version of the Republican reconciliation bill does not include provision that would have required those suing the Trump administration to post a huge bond if they won an injunction. A BIG VICTORY for Senate Democrats, democracy and the rule of law.

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

SG Prelogar also teed up the constitutionality of universal injunctions when NDTX was enjoining Biden left and right, and SCOTUS passed.

Duke appears to have lost NIH grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic genetic material, translational studies, or signal transduction www.dukechronicle.com/article/2025...

Don't do any of this.

Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election. A new generation of leaders is here.

There are still men in a concentration camp in El Salvador. It seems quite likely Trump will send more people there. We cannot let that fact fall into the memory hole.

“Today, the threat is to birthright citizenship. Tomorrow, a different administration may try to seize firearms from lawabiding citizens or prevent people of certain faiths from gathering to worship.” “Rather than stand firm, the Court gives way,” she wrote. https://trib.al/GaP26Gk

Trump is taxing all Americans to help Zuck and Elon’s bottom line.

Weather data from US defense satellites has helped forecasters look inside hurricanes - but after June 30, NOAA and the Navy will no longer distribute those readings. Details with @weathersullivan.bsky.social (free to read for 7 days):

the way calling for the deportation of any visible non-white person is rapidly becoming normalized is a huge cause for concern.

New in PN: SCOTUS clears the path for Trump's network of global gulags "With one paragraph, the Court undercut lower court judges and consigned countless immigrants to be renditioned to a system of gulags. It will have lasting corrosive effects on American civil society and respect for the courts."

“The soft power suicide of the U.S. will be incomprehensible to future historians who will be dumbfounded in their attempts to explain why the global leader voluntarily wrecked one of its greatest national assets...” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/b...

Tucked in the “one big beautiful bill” is a proposal for tax-advantaged “Trump Accounts,” each seeded with $1,000 from the government for certain babies born in the United States over the next few years. But financial experts and advocates for low-income children are not overly impressed.

Someone should rewrite the Prisoner's Dilemma but with spineless right wingers cowering from Trump. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

“Today, every Democrat who holds office in this country woke up to the possibility of a primary challenge next year because of what happened last night in New York City,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayoral primary win over Andrew Cuomo.

Chris Murphy: "Trump & the Republicans are trying to engineer the most massive transfer of wealth from the poor & middle class to the wealthy in history of the country...that's super unpopular. So how do you pass it? You can only pass it if you also destroy democracy & the means of accountability"

Good morning, America. Your President is in Europe. It is not possible to fully articulate how much this man embarrasses the US on a global stage. “We have scum that’s in this group. CNN is scum. MSDNC is scum. The New York Times is scum. They are bad people. They're sick.”

The problem for Trump now is, his governing strategy depends on creating an escalating series of novel dramatic shitshows. But he's running out of novelty now, all he can do is escalate and/or create variations on *existing* shitshows. That does not lend itself as well to control of the newscycle

Big news for our public lands—Republican attempts to sell off our public lands using reconciliation do NOT pass the Byrd Rule. The Parliamentarian also finds their sneaky attempts to undermine NEPA and mandatory oil and gas leasing and permitting schemes don’t fly. This is a huge win!

Joe Rogan noticed that Stephen Miller's goons are "nuts." Share with your right wing member of Congress, if you have one.

JOE ROGAN: “These ICE raids are fuckin’ nuts… if Trump had said we’re gonna go to Home Depot and arrest everyone, tackle people at construction sites, I don’t think anyone would’ve signed up for that… It’s crazy.” (PSA: You were warned, Joe. Yet you signed up for it.)

TUNE IN NOW: Judiciary Ranking Members Rep. Raskin and Senator Durbin kick off a bicameral spotlight forum on Democrats' legal fight against Trump's lawlessness, featuring a panel of state Attorneys General.   Watch it live:

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

NEW: The Supreme Court's conservatives halt a preliminary injunction that had restricted the Trump administration's ability to rapidly deport migrants to "third countries" where they have never lived and where allegedly face torture. All three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

according to conservatives on the court, the constitution does not protect your right to your own body but does enable the government to ship you off to a foreign gulag without any hope of return

NEW VIDEO: A key provision of the GOP’s budget bill that sought to limit judicial power is dead under Senate rules following a challenge from Democrats. Paige and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJYC...
